what helps suboxone withdrawal?

I agree sub can screw you up for most of your life, its terrible being on it and just as the same off it if not worse. Am suffering bad depression after 6 months off and its getting worse.

Please, please provide a link for the bulsh!t you are spreading.

Well what can I say that hasn't already. Well at least somewhat. I know that length of time in taking them is a factor. I'm living proof of that. I've been on Suboxone for 7 years now. I tapered myself down VERY slowly and at the end was taking .25 mg a day. I'm on day 4 and just feel like giving up. I feel like there is no hope. I wish I could see the light at the end of the tunnel but it seems  life is so dark. I can't go to school, (going for a second degree), I can barely eat, and sleeping is definitely a thing of the past. I wish there was something that could help. I've tried muscle relaxers, trazadone, pottasium vitamins... I can be fine all day but it's when I go to sleep that the problems occur. The muscle pain and everything else is crappy but tolerable. I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow and see if I can get possibly khlonodine (sp?) and ambien for sleep. I have three kids, i'm 31 and I just can't stop life. I wish there were more success stories on here of people who have been on them for as long as I have. I even remembering my doctor telling me "some people are on these their whole life".... I have great medical coverage (thanks to being diagnosed with depression) and could absolutely still get them but I want that chapter of my life to be gone and done with. God willing he'll help me through. I know I deserve the pain, to remind me of what a screwoff I was, but I get it bro..  gimme some sleep! Guess I'll post more of what happens here.

Hello my name is David. I was on Oxy and Opana for 5 years. I took about 90 to 120 mg of opana a day. Ive been on Subutex for 8 months. My doctor started me on 16 mg a day. Since then I am taking 6 mg a day. I'd like you to email me on helping me get off Subutex and get my life back on track. My email is

Look forward to talking to you.

7 years? man that sucks.. I was on them for 2 years and was suicidle..I relapsed on methadone, to me its more easier to get off then suboxone, problem is sub may have damaged our brain chemistry. For God sake I was 4 months clean yet feeling VERY BAD..I am 24 yet I struggled big time..Tapering didnt do an ounce for me, I have been reading around that makes it worse.. I dont want to be a downer girl but you may be depressed and in PAWS for a long while...You cant be on suboxone for life because it makes you feel like your in prison, its also bad getting off it..I did conteplate suicide but luckily I found somene who had methadone...Am going to stay on methadone for 1 year or 2 years, to let all the PAWS and depression from suboxone come out of my system...Do you know how bad of a mother you can become detoxing from suboxne? I agree with someone here who said either its suicide as a way out or stayiing on methadone for life...Once your on suboxone your screwed girl..

My mistake was going from 2 mg to 1 to zero TOO FAST!!

LOSING IT HERE!

I am on day 7 of subutex withdrawals. I jumped off at 8 mg. I have done this once before, but returned to it after four months - I simply couldn't handle it. I am miserable. Using Vicodin (5/500 - one twice a day) and marijuana to help things. Yes I realize this is not ideal, but I have two small children and a husband who doesn't understand this. Called my doctor and he told me...wait for it...TAKE MORE SUBUTEX! He then proceeded to tell me I should only be in mild discomfort at this point - I am just disgusted. I would LOVE to see a class-action lawsuit against the makers of Suboxone/Subutex. I suppose I'm just venting at this point - I know what to expect since I did this before. I guess I'm just looking to chat with people who understand!!

I have a wonderful idea. We should get an independent film maker to make a documentary on coming off of Suboxone. Film the withdrawal process. If that wouldn't make an impact I don't know what would.

may 3rd i called my parents for help to go to rehab. on may 7th i found myself heading to jail on may 22nd my mother and grandmother was there to bring me home i am now in a community rehab program and i feel like i have been through hell. i can't eat i am sick all the time. your story is so much what i am going through

I was given a shot called vivitrol after only being off suboxone for 2 days (suppose to b at least 10 days)...I immediately went into serious withdrawl, hospital, nuerological shock shut down...but they couldn't really do anything since the vivitrol pushed out the suboxone immediately and blocked all pain receptors...my dr is a straight f*#k that knew nothing, I was his first vivitrol patient...I do not advise it at all, but after 5 days in a what seemed like a mental coma I am awake today...dnt remember the last 5 days but my boyfriend read all the posts n kept me alive wit vitamins, ensure, Gatorade, water n such...I jus wanted to say thank u cuz I almost didnt make it, I simply couldn't eat or drink, or talk or use the bathroom, or move...most serious withdrawl I've ever heard of let alone experienced...so basically thank u for helping him help me...we are in recovery n it's a b***h bein dope sick in recovery!!!! Makes no sense!!! Pharmaceutical companies man, makin money where they can...takin advantage of addicts and alcoholics...I woulda never taken it if I would have done the proper research on it, but my dr promised 'cure all' for addiction n my addict ass was like 'heck yes a magic pill finally'...umm no, worse than heroin in my book...but man god was right next to me tellin me to hold on n fight thru n I've never been more aware of my spirituallity...I'm still not really walkin around that much too weak but I accept that it's gonna b jus like recovery frm drugs, my health this time is also 'one day at a time'

Baby girl!!! Me too!!! Kinda different what my dr did, but he almost killed me...I would love to do a class action suit too!!! Nobody knows bout this c**p but US the patients...what it REALLY does to us...my dr told me after 4mg I shouldn't feel much discomfort n I almost died but read my post I jus made its sick what happened...I feel ya babe, I have a 10 yr old n I haven't seen him in 5 days cuz of what happened...today is the first day of reality for me n my boyfriend read all these post n kept me alive after the hospital when I was still in shock n not really responsive...but I'm in AA n have been 'sober' if that's what I have been, I dnt know anymore, but I have a very serious recovery program n if u can maintain I PROMISE it's brighter on the other side...

1. Your spelling and syntax are horrible.
2.I wouldn't mention it, except that you have a nasty attitude that shows in your post.
3. Withdrawing off suboxone is rotten -- I'm working on it as we speak.
PS Cut 1/4 -1/2 mg a week? hahahahahah
