Hi, I have been taking the smallest amount of suboxone and I weened myself off of 8mg to now taking 1mg. I have to take a drug test for nursing next month and although people say that i wont be tested for it, I am still scared of testing positive. I want it completely out my system. Do you know how long it will take to leave my system. And does clonodine really help for symptoms. I woke up this morning in hot and cold sweats and achy legs. I cant deal with this pain any longer. After the pain and sweats, I gave in and took some this morning. Any advice? Does exercise help? Please give me some advice and email me at this below.

I have taken 16mg suboxone/ 4 naloxone for the past five years. Suddenly my doctor has became all about money so the morning of my appointment I said to hell with this I'm tired of suboxone. I am now on day 8 and struggling.... I've use clonidine and xanax to keep my sanity. I don't know what to do because I can't take much more. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help and thank you.

I am on day 8 of no subs, feel quasi nasty, but am duking it out. I walk, even if it's just a few blocks a few times a day, i take tylenol, and a low dose of neurontin. I started going to aa meetings, or na for those who prefer that program, when I started suboxone 6 months ago. What is keeping me going is having an attitude adjustment due to working the steps, persevering because i want a better life, sharing my experience strength and hope with others, knowing others have gone through it, I'm not alone or unique.

not everyone has the option of tapering, i lost my source for suboxone. I'm almost to day 3 of full withdrawal. I have pins and needles and little pains like shocks. could be unique to my condition due to my partial seizure disorder. loperamide does help a lot although ran out of that too haha i suck so bad...

I'm on day 5 and feel pretty good. I went from 4mg to basically tearing little corners off the strips twice a day. My personal opinion to the people that were banging up dope and OC's and blues just to get high. Quit your bitchin. You only did it to yourselves. What's made it easier for me this time was staying positive. Be a man. The pain eventually goes away. Maybe not right a way. But it will deff go away. I been dealing with no clonadine no Xanax or any type of benzo for anxiety. No sleep aid. I smoke a little bit of ganja hear in there to relax me but still only get 5 hrs of sleep.
To the people that were lied to by doctors and told there will be know sickness or withdrawals froms coming off suboxone. They sure as hell lied to you. I've tried the Thomas recipe in the past and all it did was prolong my symptoms. If u wanna be done with it and you really wanna turn your life around. Just do it. You won't regret it. Stay positive attitude is KEY!

Hello there,
I have bee on subs for over year. Bought them off the street. I am on day 5 jumping off at 0.5mg per day and I feel fine. I sh*t you not. google immodium detox for opiates. Its a godsend. I work a proffesional job and havent missed a day. I feel clearer, and healthier than I ever have. I bought some xanax, and that has helped a ton for lingering anxiety. And there are occasional hot flashes that I am dealing with , but they are a breeze, and the immodium helps with those since it is an opiate that doesnt cross the blood brain barrier. Anyway this is the way, I am tellingyou all, I have tried a million tims to come off this medication and this is what works.

help I am finally down to 2mg. of subs. twice a day. It's killing me. I am using the strips not the tablets how in the world are you cutting them properly? Is it a big deal if my cuts are not perfect. They may vary a little bit. I am trying to be exact but I'm working with such a tiny sliver already. Do you have any tips? Or maybe I should just relax and not worry so much about the small size difference in my dose for the next drop. Plus would you advise when I get to .5mg. once a day should I go every other day for a while?

Coming off subs if you have t3 or 325 percs or some 5/500 hyrdos. Take one if symptoms get way to bad through the nite this will help you get some sleep and alleviate cramps. Drink tons of water in about 6 days u will feel much better

suboxone withdrawal last way longer than other opiates dumb dumb. 3 weeks of hell opiates such as ocs is a week. Suboxone is way worse don't listen to this guy. Try to get a benzo such as lorazapam clonazapam valuum or xanax. And chlonidine a blood pressure med will help ease symptoms

I want to stand outside of a sub clinic warning uneducated people about the horrible withdrawals that last 3 to 4 weeks- THAT THEIR DR. WILL NOT DISCLOSE TO THEM. I'd take a perc or oc withdrawal ANYDAY over this sub withdrawal - its a living hell. How was this drug approved by the FDA? Miracle drug?? REALLY???

I am compelled to write this because the number of people who have been misinformed by their physicians or other professionals about Suboxone. I was originally prescribed fentanyl citrate patches, 75micrograms/hr. for a bad back. After about 5 months of that, I quit cold turkey. I was miserable for 4 or 5 days, and then the symptoms disappeared completely. My back pain though came back with a vengeance. So I once again started using the patches.
My doctor finally performed surgery, and I asked him if he could help me detox from the fentanyl citrate with out the withdrawals. He prescribed Suboxone, 16 mg a day. He did very little explaining on how it worked. The sucker that I was, I consented.
I am really not an addict, and after the fentayl experience, I am very conservative on trying new drugs. So I never took more than 4 mg a day. I did this until 8-22-2012. This was by accident. I had taken a trip to Port Aransas, TX to fish. When I arrived, I didn’t realize it, but my prescription fell out of bag in my truck. So I thought I had lost it.
On the first day with out my Suboxone, I really didn't notice a difference. On the second day depression set in. I began to urinate constantly. My appetite began to go. Food tasted like card board. I didn't know what was happening.
On the third day, I began to lose motivation and energy. I began to uncontrollably cry. That night I tossed and turned, and urinated all night. I wanted to blow my brains out. The next day, I made an appointment with my doctor who had prescribed the Suboxone. When he asked me if I was still taking the Suboxone, I explained to him I had lost my prescription, and that I had not taken it for four days. For the first time I learned I was suffering Suboxone withdrawals. He was going to place me back on it and have cut the dosage down slowly. I told him no ! I didn't want to go back now since it already been four days since I took my last dose. I did this because I believed like the fentanyl withdrawals I be finished on the fifth day.
No such luck. So I decided to look on the internet for help. When I did, I was shocked by the fact that there were literally hundreds of testimonials about people who were detoxing from Suboxone. The biggest scare was that a lot of them still were detoxing in the sixth week. I could not bare having to put up with this for that long. I was pissed at my doctor now for not informing of the long process and the misery I would experience in detoxing from Suboxone.
I was angry at everyone around me. I was agitated. I was depressed, I was restless at night. I had almost zero energy, and absolutely no motivation to even get out of bed in the mornings. I had to do something or I was going to do something stupid like blow my brains out. So I read up on how Suboxone works on the internet. From that I decided that if I could trick my brain into believing it was getting Suboxone, maybe I could beat these awful withdrawals. So I hypothesizer that if I began taking some dosages of an opioid, like hypermorphone or norco, I could bring back my motivated and energy. If that worked I would than wien myself off the opioid after 60 days, since my experience has been that the worst that would happen is that I would have only a few days of withdrawals rather than the 60 days of withdrawals from Suboxone. So beginning two days ago I began taking .2 mg of hypermorphone pills. IT WORKED ! I feel great ! I have energy, even though I am taking a very low dosage of an opioid. I will update this biog. in one week. Good Luck detoxing !
P. S. Suboxone SUCKS
