When will suboxone withdrawls start?

It all depends on how long you were on it, how much you were on, was it the last dose at the end of a taper? Withdrawals would usually appear in about a day to 2 days as it has a very long half-life of 24 to 36 hours. I indeed it was the final dose at the end of a taper, then you shouldn't expect to feel much of any withdrawals. You may feel antsy, but it in no way compares to withdrawal from other opiates. I am sure that there will be others saying that that is a crock of bull, but I was a 12 year methadone maint.pt. and I switche to suboxone and I actually had to come off of it twice and neither time did I ever feel any type of withdrawal of any severity. It was like nite and day! I wish you well!!

I see many different responses to this topic but with all due respect to the other person that replied to your question my answer is VERY different. I was on Suboxone 32mg a day for 4 years. I went off cold turkey and I can not put into words the hell I went through. I thought at 3 days, no big deal, days 4-6 worse but could handle it. Day 7 I thought it will be over soon. If I would have known then what was coming I would have gone to the closest hospital and admited myself. I know I was on the max dose and that probably made it worse but I strongly suggest....DO NOT GO OFF OF SUBOXONE COLD TURKEY...IT CAN KILL YOU. Every day I thought I would feel better tomorow and only felt worse. I was so sick I physically could not go to the hospital. I could not eat, sleep, walk sit, stand, lay, talk, brush my hair or even clean myself after 15-20 accidental bowel movements per day. My husband had to clean me, bath me, dress me. It is something that can not be put into words. I ended up with Colitis and around day 28 of hard hard hard withdraw, in the hospital almost dead. This is not something I can put into words. I CAN NOT convey how truly horrible it was. For about 5 days in the middle of all this, to top it all off, I lost all emotional feelings. I knew I should love my husband and family but had zero feelings. What ever you think the worse withdraw in the world would feel like, times that by 100 and you have what it feels like to go cold turkey off of a high dose of suboxone. I hope you are not on a high dose and I hope you came off of it the right way. If not dont even try to do it, it is not worth it and you will end up taking something just to be able to wipe yourself after using the bathroom. Good luck I just didnt want you to end up like me thinking it will be better tomorrow and it only be worse.

I am very sorry to read about your horrible experience with Suboxone. You were obviously taking a large dosage daily, which has since maxed out at 24mgs per day. I know that I have read all kinds of stories on here and only know from my own personal experience, but also know all to well that everyone is different and each ones withdrawls will be different. I may have had a good experience with Suboxone, but that doesn't make your bad one any less true. I went thru horrible, horrific withdrawals from 360mgs a day of methadone just like you described you had with the suboxone, and it too almost killed me! I stopped it cold turkey, and it was one of the worst mistakes I ever made!! I am happy to see that you made it very clear to not stop taking suboxone cold turkey. There are no 2 stories that anyone will find that will be alike as no 2 of us are exactly alike. I really hope that after all of that your doing much better these days. I do wish you all the best!
