subutex withdrawal symptoms

on day 12 of my subutex de.tox, which im doing in a caravan with my very very straight boyfriend. ive come off 4mg and have founb that having people around you that dont know how bad you feel makes you forget about it too!!! im sweating and aching but am also getting a good 8 hours sleep most nights. there must be some truth in saying 90% of withdrawal is in your head. good luck everyone xx

i was on herion from 17-20 and i went onto subutex it was the best thing i ever did i had 3 years of hell, subby's made me feel more healtheir and i could get on with my life without worrying about getting my next fixs as they stopped my cravings. subbys are good, they help a lot but dont stay on them for to long as they will make you depressed and have no motivation, as thats what started happening to me after 6 months so i decided to get of them, i started on 14mg and cut down to 0.4mg over 6 months. iv been of subutex now for 8 day i still feel pretty c**p but its not that bad, the first 4 days couldnt sleep and felt achy and cold shivers, the 5-6 day similar symptos but not as bad i was still a litte bit achy but i was able to sleep 7-8 day i still feel i have some syptmons but i can handle these symptons, so iv just got to get through this last ltte bit then im free of w/d :) and i can get my normal life back again

how long has he been on subutex

For 4 months I have been running 16mg at 4mg doses daily. I was informed that the clinic is no longer writing scripts. they dose daily. I got my last sript took it as prescribed 8mg x2 daily until it was gone. that was 5 days ago. its a big mindfuk. If u wanna get high detox is he'll until you get high, tr y again tomorrow. if your truly over it like I am push Thu that sh*t you feel is a good thing....toxins bein released major organs functioning Normal. eat healthy take some b vitamins . Dark chocolate. ...the remedy may seem worse than the disease if ya kick you'll never find that best friend blue or hope they care enough to revive you if ya don't you will die. if ya can't quit the subs think you won't get high.you'll know when your ready an when ya do don't worry about gettin sick worry about your health opiates ain't sh*t!!!!

Wow, I have never heard this, but it verifies my personal theory. I've been on sub for 4 years and I'm down to .5mg (the last 2mg are the hardest, don't care what anyone says.) I've had enlarged thyroid, hormone level changes and swollen lymph nodes for three years but none of my docs (even the one giving me subs knows what the hell is wrong with me. They saidd autoimmune. I've suspected it was the subs, but this is more vindication. Right now I am about 30 hours off, with last dose being .5 and I'm doing this on my own, trying to stay strong and get through it. I want that going to the gym feeling!

It's been a year since your post, but for anyone else reading: 2mg is the lowest pill form of suboxone/subutex. It is the patient who breaks the pill into a smaller dose in order to make the transition off easier. Most doctors have no clue that jumping off from 2mg, or even 1mg can have devastating withdrawal that will cause the patient to go back to using pain meds if they cannot get a smaller dose. This is why patients take it upon themselves to decrease their own dose without their doctor's knowledge.

I took Subutex for Fybromyalgia for approximately 1 1/2 years, and was feeling like this was the ONLY medication that was helping me. However, since the FIRST thing I told my Reumatologist was that I was willing to try anything that was not addictive! After losing my short term memory I told him I know longer could function this way. He then told me to taper off over five days period, and I did exactly the way he told me...with my husband making me a schedule and times to take it.

Then my trip to HELL began...after two trips to Urgent Care and one to ER, he told me I was going through withdrawel and he put me on Vicodin and then taper off that. I took them for a week and tapered off and I was sick all over again. I was shaking, sweating, diarrhea, feeling millions of ants crawling on my legs, couldn't sleep, and very weak with shallow breathing. I was unable to even pick up the phone to talk to my husband or family.

I finally went to my Primary Dr. and the staff took me back immediately so I could lay down and she told me I still needed to take the Vicodin. I kept telling her I wouldn't do it, I had already gone through sooo much, in my mind she was saying that I took poison and let's throw some more poison. After a while she came over and put her hand on my arm and told me "I was being irrational" and my blood pressure was sooo low I needed to do this for THREE MORE WEEKS and am STILL having withdrawel symptoms.

Needless to say, I am now taking a more holistic approach to my health and well being and will NOT take anything that is not absolutely necessary and my sweet Dr. Is doing Mio Faschia treatments.

I still feel like c**p and very weak and on week two taking only 2 Vicodin per day!!!

So, all of my experience just to say "unless you absolutely HAVE TO TAKE THIS TO LIVE, DON'T TAKE Subutex, also called Bupineforin (spelling ?). All I know is that it takes a WHOLE LOT LONGER THAN FIVE DAYS of tapering!!!

Good luck, and my hearts go out to anybody who is taking this medication.

Side note: my caps were not screaming, or maybe reconsidering ALL that I have been through and am going through...I was screaming:)

hi every body i used this sh*t (subutex) for near 4 years and 8 mg per day!!! i deside to stop and i did that like this but it was so pain full for me for near 15 days i just took some dafalgan to stop the pain but did not work!!! i never used drug before and when i came in paris i give up myself!! but now i find my way!

I have got to be the biggest id**t for starting on Opiates.  I have wasted so much money, killed my marriage, and screwed so many different areas of my life because of this stuff.  I recently got started on 24mg a day of Subutex.  Does this seem high to anyone?  I take two in the morning and one at night.  I feel hazy all day long and just want to use so I'll feel "normal" again.

i have been taking subutex for a little less than a year now, before that i had quit cold turkey and went through hell for 7 days! but after those 7 days i felt like a whole new person. unfortuantely i ended up back into it and am now at my breaking point once again. i dont even take much to begin with i have been taking the 8mg subutex but only taking maybe half a mg to 1 mg a day. i guess this time around i am a little hesitant because i know what struggles are ahead of me but also know that it is sooo worth it in the end. i myself just want to be FREE and happy, i want to have that feeling again! i am so tired of having to depend on something soo stupid mkaes you feel like your a prisoner in your own damn skin. the first time around was a little easier because i had also confessed to my mom so it wasnt a secret and i didnt hafta hide the pian, but this time around no one has a clue..exept my boyfriend but he really doesnt know what i go through with this battle. so im ready to try again i need this more than anything in the world and now i am reaching out to anyone and everyone on this site for any kind of feedback or good info to make this process a little faster, easier, and less painful. please reply back i am anxiously looking forward to hearing others ideas and am here for others as support. i feel support is one of the main things when going through this so here i am, i hope to find some great support through this site! thank you so much, thank god, and god bless you all. keeping everyone whos going through the bs i am in my thoughts and prayers<3
