I was on Mehtodone for about 8 months in hopes of stopping a lortab addiction. Started suboxone 6mg about 3 months ago. Took last dose of .50mg 6 days ago. Starting to feel human again, but still having waves of anxiousness and chills/hot flashes. How long will this last cause I am OVER IT already. The first 2-3 days were AWFUL! Don't have to worry about going to hell when I die, I've already been there! Any hints to make this better? I have a job, home, and family. Getting harder and harder to fake being fine. My family is aware of the situation and are very supportive, but I don't want it to be the only thing going on in our home either! Drinking water (ugh!), no coffee, and taking vitamins. Still can't really eat a meal yet. Just snacking here and there. I have muscle relaxers but they don't seem to help at all. Just make me feel more fatigued. HELP welcomed please....
No overnight remedy... Subs w/d not an easy one. Nothing seemed to help the anxiety and chills except time... took about 3 weeks for me to totally lose the chills and the blanket on blanket off routine at night all night... Force the eating if you can.. nausea should be minimal from how you weaned. Try Arizona green tea, and make yourself stay active. Idle time seems to make it worse...My experience anyway. It can be done, and it sounds like you've had enough... Try attending AA or NA.. a good support system with people who understand what we are going through is without parallel. Good Luck
