Suboxone withdrawals never seem to end

JAKE99 - the depression, anxiety, and crying was with me every single day at every moment and i have not had barely a touch of it since the bee pollen. PLEASE do yourself a favor and pick some up. Look it up online. It actually made me SMILE the first day i took it. It cleared my head, drew the heaviness out of my legs, and eased the cravings. Im not symptom free, i can feek it all under the surface but its bearable. Pls go get some right then write back tomorrow after a good dose or two and tell me and everyone how much better u feel. Like i sai, it wont cure u but u will see a big difference
 
K88ABY- ummm no. Been there too often. Its 2 a.m. where i am now, on i think day 11. Muscles heavy, clammy, headache, GI probs, cant sleep. I know the bee pollen will fix all that but i have no desire to stay up the rest if the morning. I got out of bed to take a hot shower and smoke a butt, stopped here for some motivation, and i'll start a "new day" in a few hours. Just took 4mg of meletonin to help me sleep so i hope it works soon. With opiates like heroin the dope sickness intensity subsides after around 5 days but the sick, crappy feeling lingers. With
suboxone it takes sooo much longer, and unfortunately that is what i am presently withdrawing from. Im an athletic, motivated person in general, i was a fool to think i could kick this in a few days. I get better everyday, but im still not in the light. Good night all. Happy healing... blah
 
Jake, I think your taper schedule needs some refining. You should be down to .5 or even .25 when you get off. I know that may be difficult to eye out, but give it a try. Do you have strips or pills? Instead of taking 1-2mg every other day just take 1mg for a few days, then .5mg for a few more. If you have 8mg you can do the first 2mg in 1mg doses over 2 days, and then .5 would last another 12 days at least, but I would recommend skipping days, which could give you a month from that one 8mg sub.

As for how long withdrawals last, I was a lot better by week two. I knew that I wasn't going to be able to get my hands on any opiates so I didn't even think about it, so once the physical symptoms went away after the first week I was pretty much fine, with the exception of my appetite which needed a little longer to get back to normal.
 
Ive been on and off suboxone for like 6 years, i started detoxing myself on saturday after a relapse and maintenance from subs. this time i could only allow myself to be on any type of opiate/opiod for a few months and am feeling better but I've been through physical withdrawals from subs and benzos that lasted for literally a month. on seperate occasions and combined. i came so close to blowing my fucking head off this time. just know youre not the only one struggling with it. you aren't alone. I've been doing dope since i was 15 I'm 29 now and the last few years have been an endless cycle of jails rehab and recovery houses. i just can't let this bullshit be the last chapter of my life. sorry for any problems with this post I'm on my cell
 
Oh and i also think for those without chronic pain tapering only delays the inevitable. you are going to have to go through it either way. I'm not saying to go from 2 or 3 pills a day but i dunno...a quick taper from 8-2 then none in a week or so is the best i need to work with. ive found the length you are actually on them is what makes your w/ds the worst. so if you've been on them for periods reaching a year or more its gonna suck but its gotta happen. lock yourself up,go out in the country or put yourself into treatment. trust i know that's easier said than done but i have almost no willpower and temptation literally calling me daily. I'm about to change my fucking number lol
 
Junkieman- i DID change my number, i had to. I couldnt have it at the tips of my fingers, i also tossed my cell phone w all my numbers. And i know u guys are sick of hearing it but go out and buy that fucking beepollen! Dont suffer anymore than u have to
 
I hear ya its not a full commitment until i do change it. As for the be pollen i wont knock it but all it took for me was loperamide weed and some sleepers. And the knowledge of how good it feels to be clean and wanting a life back. I've decided to enter another recovery house on my own despite having other less safe options. Sobriety is totally possible its the long term commitment, my own self destructive behaviors, and me wanting to escape from my own head instead of dealing with my problems that i struggle with.
 
This forum and threads about w/ds and the suicide support thread helped me out tremendously. I am bipolar anyways but the mood swings from early wd are terrible. Plus I'm not fucking built like i used to be. I can't do it anymore. Its hard to get high for long periods of time with a head full of recovery. It almost makes it more of a burden knowing I've done it before. My runs get shorter and shorter now and its only a matter of time before it kills me. I really really don't want to die or go to prison. Even prison doesn't scare me hell i tell myself at least ill be safe, free rent and food, and ill be built like a brick shithouse when i get out. It boggles my own mind the way i think.

I completely agree with this, and I either taper very little or just go cold turkey, but usually I go cold turkey. IMO once you are done with opiates, you won't want to take anymore, even to taper. I only recommended that Jake try a little taper because he doesn't seem to want to stop once the withdrawals hit. Sooner or later you have to cut the chord though, and you're probably better off doing it sooner.

yeah I'm changing it. Pretty much white knuckling it. I'm out of the city all week then i get here; its like they know i don't hear from anybody then today my phone starts blowing up. Sunday i go to this recovery house. ill be alright i can't be hurting everyone around me or myself. Shit aint worth it.
 
Best of luck dude. Recovery sucks. Im having a bad day and i got the itch. I didnt do it, staying clean, but im just tired of feeling less than fantastic. Moving around and accompishing tasks today was hard. Im aggrivated that im still dealing with it. Pisses me off that one bun or a 40 oc would make it all go away. Im pissed i want to do it, im pissed i wont do it. Just a bad day dealing with people, far too many triggers today. I got rid of my phone and the dumb asses come to my house... high of course. I put on my pretty "doin alright" smile but really i just wanted to slam the door in their face and scream. Just went for a long walk to ease the headache but still feeling annoyed. Guess i just gotta suck it up. Grrrr
