My story is a lot like yours. I am on day 6 off of suboxone but I still take a lot of adderall and klonopin unfortunately. I have been taking adderral for 6 years now, on and off, and I am telling you that the withdrawal is mainly mental. The physical aspect is nothing compared to opiates and suboxone. It is mainly like you feel drained of energy for a few days, one week tops. And if you are weening down the way you are, it will be much easier and you may not even feel any withdrawal symptoms!! Adderral actually gets out of your system pretty quickly as long as you take care of your metabolism. Vitamins, water, good sleep, and an overall healthy balanced diet are all great for coming off of it as well. Also, I am fortunate enough to have become very aware of my mental health and it's connection to my pain and physical well being and let me tell you, once you become aware of that and practice simple relaxation and focus techniques, you will become much happier and realize that going through everything you went through has only made you stronger!! I suggest making an effort to be as honest as possible with your friends and family and try to build a strong support group, weather it's an online support group or a local support group. If you look into NA, they have a lot of motivating things to say. I know it may seem that NA comes with that "addict stigma" but the people there have been through so much and will help you get through this. You seem to want this and I think you are doing great :) but just be aware of your mental health and try your hardest to change your negative thoughts into positive thoughts. Only you have control of your mind. If you start to think "Oh this would be so much easier if I just had adderral...", stop yourself right there!!!!! don't give into the temptation. Play out in your mind all the negative consequences that come with taking the adderral! Think positive thoughts. Tell yourself, every morning when you wake up, "Today I will not take adderral. I don't know what will happen tomorrow and I am fine with that. Today I will not take adderral and I will be as positive as I can be. And if you have a higher power, pray to him. I promise you it worked for me and soooo many other people. After this is all said and done, you will have so much less guilt and will feel so much stronger!!! Good luck and stay strong!!!

I'm glad I read through it cause I'm going through the same thing almost. I've been on Suboxone for 3 and a half years and went cold turkey 2 days ago n i feel like i'm dying. I don't know what to do but I don't think my body can take it. My mind wants it for myself & my kids its just really messing me up right now. Not slept in 3 nights & down to 102 pounds

How long would it take to tell 10 years of your life? Instead of waisting time space and energy writing something completely useless why don't ya write something of substance or not write anything at all, its obvious the women who took the time to post is in distress & in a complete panic ,doesn't have any where to turn while seeking live saving advice & your clever self thinks its funny to ask if all stories are this long. Smh oh this wonderful online world -gives a voice to everyone knucklehead who instead needs to be given a giant MUTE BUTTON

You would think all would be roses once stopping the opiates...but nope...not for me., I haad a complete mental breakdown. The depression was so enormous. I was extremely suicidal . Had 1 unsuccessful attempt at it and not only that, I developed severe Panic Disorder. Scared to death of everything in this world.
It took a few years to finally diagnose me correctly and treat with medicine. I have bipolar, ADD and Panic Disorder.
I am currently on 40mgs of dexadrine a day (have been on this for 5 years at the same dose) and I also take 2mg of Xanax each day for the Panic (have been on this for 5 years as well)
I guess what I am trying to get at here is this....perhaps you are self medicating a mental illness. Once I was treated with the right meds my trainwreck of a life stopped. I finally got the right help and feel so much better and "normal". I was always chasing something before. Never happy with where I was at...my feelings were out of control.
Now that I am on the proper meds, I no longer drink or drug. I don't want to. I don't feel like "I can't"...I finally feel like I just don't want to"-as simple as that.
I really think your roller coaster can be stabilized with some good therapy and a good psychiatrist that will work with you and get you on the right meds. Sounds to me like you are just screaming for stability and seem to go extreme with whatever med is on your plate at the time.
Really, there is a better life for you. Don't be so hard on yourself. All you were trying to do wAs to get by. You didn't mean to become an addict. I really think you wwere self medicating some other condition. Perhaps, like me, you too could have bipolar. It can take a long time to find the right meds but once you do man.....life is sweet again.
I wish you all the best.
