Hey there. I am 29yrs old and I started my dope habit at 14. I got on methadone at 19, then suboxone at 21. I almost got off suboxone a few years ago but slipped up on crack (after 5 years clean) and quickly went back on. I have 4 small children and I'm married and in school for nursing. I'm very busy, but desperate to get off suboxone. I was on 14mg after my son was born 10 months ago, I'm down to 2mg. I feel crappy. Muscle pain and irritability. I no longer feel good on ANY dose. I am always sick in the morning and night. I am done with it. I want off. Problem is that life doesn't stop. My mom and husband can give me 2 weeks starting next Monday to detox. Is that enough time for the severe stuff? I will stop taking it 72 hours before their help. I start school again in September and I have to care for my children. I fully expect to feel like shit and have mood swings, but I hope I can function after 2 weeks. It is difficult to find stories from people who got off after several years or more of sub use. My body has been on opiates every single day for 10 years and the majority of the time for 6 years before then. I know this will be extremely hard, but can I power thru after 2 weeks? Also, any advice for the emotional difficulties? I am concerned about depression and mania. Thanks.
