The secret to getting off Suboxone is:

He couldn't find the Imodium sp I have loperamide hcl Imodium same thing? I don't have the runs any more and I don't want it to have an effect on me that way I'm debating using it. I just want the head thing and tired feeling to go away.

Lopermade - you have to give it about 1hr to 'kick in' - gives me energy and warm/relaxed feeling and makes you talkative. I know this all sounds weird given it's a anti-diarrhea OTC med. Apparently this was a Scheduled V drug in the 70's-80's and now it's just OTC. I think you will be impressed

Is that what I have it's spelled different loperamide?

Done - yep, same thing - HCL is hydrochloride. Try it out, I doubt you will be disappointed. Take 2-3 tabs, give it 1 hour.

It helped me big time, I was floored how it took away the w/d type icky feeling and tired stuff.

Let me know how it works for you. Max daily is 16 tabs from what I read. Since you were on a low dose, 2-3 tabs would do you right plus it lasts 18 hours or so.

K it's been Over an hour since I took it and I do feel a little better. More motivation more energy it's not Percocet energy but it's better. I stopped taking them cause they made me feel dizzy I'm hoping that won't happen again. I was thinking it might have been cause I was using it for sub withdrawals. I've had no Rls so far so I'm hoping to sleep tonight all on my own. Day number one almost done!

LOL on john beating you to the finish line. Yah, Idk hon, the only other thing you could try is taking some retarded diet pills for a few days. Those have a combination of herbs and sh*t that give mucho energy. If we used to do sh*t loads of unprescribed drugs, Im sure taking those for a wk or sumthn wouldnt matter. Grab some coke if you never had a problem with it. Anything to get you through this wk!!! Its not like youll die if you take diet pills as the bottle states for a few days and you can get those at any CVS. Id rather take those or even coke than be tempted by the P's. If you can beat the energy thing, you wont really care about taking percs nearly as much so I feel you. Aside from the sleep bothering me, the lack of energy is what I hate most of WD. I dont get RLS much for some reason otherwise thatd be up there.

 If you could get adderral Im telling you that would have you zipping around, not caring about WD at all to get through it. What state do you live in? Id mail you some but you'll be clean by then LOL. As an ultimate last resort, drink for a few days. I usually drink once every couple months, but Id drink a few days in a row just to have the fake energy and not be constantly thinking of hydro.

Me, I had the sick OP WD feeling this morn. Guess I shouldnt have taken any yesterday since yesterday I couldnt feel that when I woke. Im an id**t. Then again, maybe that was just cause I took one later at night the day before. Usually I only do anything in the morn and never a second dose. Just always done that. Today I took one OP which normally wouldve been 4 of them equaling 80 mg. Been w/out sub for 6 days but IDk that its something to be happy about really. I guess I wont be happy till I actually stop all the opiate sh*t.

Oh whoops somehow I missed the two other posts on this page. WOW immodium huh? Def gonna have to get me some. Even if it did make you a lil dizzy, Id rather that over no energy. Glad its helped so much! You guys rock.

 

Tell us how you're both feeling today too :) hang in there. You guys are almost done with the worst. Hsving even one day down is a great achievement.

Day #2 ended up taking 1/8 th of a 5mg Vic to sleep at 1am. No Rls all day till I went to bed then boom bad ones. I'm not worried about it, it was so small of a piece that I don't think it will effect my recovery. Woke up before my alarm again sucks slept good last week now back to little sleep. Stomach kinda hurts this morning but I feel okay right now. I'm alone most of the day so I'm hoping I won't just lay around I need to get into a routine be normal. 

I can't take any energy stuff it all makes me sick. The Imodium did work but only for about an hour.

How you doing Gibson?

Doing ok - took 4 immodium tabs this morning and feeling ok. I dry heaved this morning, not sure what that was all about. Did have some RLS sleeping last night, maybe slept 5 hours or so, typically sleep 8 hours. I can feel the icky type feeling a little. The immodium has been working, still #2 ok. I wish I could be over this soon. I have to head into work tomorrow, so that will be this the biggest test. After that, I don't have to drive into work for 12 days, so I will be away from everyone. I swear, as soon as I pull in the parking lot at work, I start stressing. It's been like that for a while. Tomorrow will be the 1 year annv of my grandpa passing away, then the following Tues is 1 yea annv of my dad passing away. OH... and Christmas in the mix. Sounds like a perfect storm? It is... It's going to be rough for me and my family and kids. We were all close.

Erin - if you could get adderral Im telling you that would have you zipping around, not caring about WD at all to get through it. What state do you live in? Id mail you some but you'll be clean by then

Mail me some, that would help me quite a bit for the next 2 weeks!

Your doing good man after today we are half way through. I know what you mean about stressing out in the parking lot at work I do the same thing. I try to pump myself up with music before I go in maybe a little eye of the tiger Lol. It's going to be okay we'll get through this so are kids don't lose us as well.

Becareful with using aderal it's a false high you have 12 days off to return to normal and if you use something for 2 weeks that gives you energy you won't realize what being normal is. I haven't used my own energy for years that's why I think the lack of energy is so bad. I'm not twenty anymore I'm tired and worn out and just have to deal with it. Don't get stuck on another drug. 

I took 6 more immodium about 2 hour ago, feel good, actually better then good. This lopermide is the trick, no w/d feelings. It lasts about 4hrs and always drink milk with it. So far, so good. I have read quite a bit about it and poeple are really positive about it, of course there are some that are negative, like coming off hardcore street drugs. Overall, I would reccomend it to anyone. Normal bowel movements and taking this, hopefully this will be a breeze. Very glad I found out about it.

I was kidding about the adderal stuff, I have never taken it before and like you said, don't want to stuck on another dang drug. I am 34 and got waaaay to much on the line right now to take on something like that. Only habit I do have and not sure how to kick it is cigerettes. I smoke about 8-10 day. Don't drink at all.

Hopefully we can all look back at this 2 weeks from now and say what a trip, no more dang drugs!!

You sound a lot like me I'm a 33 yr old smoker and not a drinker. I had acouple drinks about a month ago hoping it would help me sleep and boy was that a mistake. I've been pretty good today after I took my kids to school I went back to bed for 3 hours. I feel tired but better then yesterday I work tomorrow so I'm hoping to be 90% by then. Either way I'm going to be golden forChristmas and this will be  the first one in years :). 

Im glad the Imodium worked for you I'll probably take it again after the kids get home. 

Took 3 of the loperamide over an hour ago still feel yuck and my legs are aching today. Wanna cave in bad! I have so much to do and myboyfriend is working so it's just me and the kids. Not good
