I have been using for about 6 or 7 months. Usually taking 160+ mg of oxycontin a day. For the past two months I began using opana 40mg ER twice a day or more. My addiction has caused me to lose my job, girlfriend, and money. I am ready to quit for good. It is about 28 hours since I last snorted an opana. When I felt withdrawal symptoms, I took 2mg suboxone. About 6 hours later I began to get extremely depressed and felt withdrawal symptoms once again. So, I took 4mg more suboxone and feel a lot better but am still feeling mild w/d's. I do not have more suboxone. Will I go through worse withdrawals when the suboxone wears off? If yes, then how long until they are over?? And is it true that the worst happens on day 3 or 4?? Thanks! Answers are appreciated.

Hi! I found that the detox process for Suboxone varies in length depending on the pattern of typical use and on individual differences. The most severe withdrawal symptoms occur during the first several days after discontinuing use, making it important to seek immediate professional help.

Suboxone has saved my life. I am 3 years clean now, and finally have my life back. Once the opiates are completely out of your system, the suboxone withdrawal is NOTHING like opiates. You still have the sleeplessness, and extreme fatigue during the day, and a general feeling of malaise. If you know what real withdrawal is, subs is nothing in comparison. The only difference is it tends to last longer. At first you might feel like staying in bed all day, not because you feel like death but because you have no energy. After a little while it gets better, and you can function fine. Not 100% but enough to go about your day. Hope this helps!! If possible, just stay on Subs till you are ready. They have been widely used since the 70's with no adverse effects from long term use. I go to an outpatient treatment center, and they say that if it's working, my life is good, then why change it right now? I am a mom, working and going to school, and am feeling great. I really don't want to change nothing right now, nor do I need to. I don't have the time for a week of fatigue!! Lol
