hot garbage
It takes a months worth of meds to really taper the right way. I did it in about three week taper. Down to. 5 a few days then off you go. Taking benzos help with sleep, usually the biggest issue. I sneazing alot and yarning but thats about it. Smoke some doobie if really not feeling good. Once you make first 5-7 days your usually feeling better. Everyone has diff system and methods. Have to listen toyour body and stay hydrated. Its the worst doing this in heatwave summer hell.
ya for real I stopped suboxone 11 days ago(on it 4years- put on 32mg and was high from the sub for about 2-3weeks then used to it.first time I filled it the pharmacist thought it was too high of a dose and called doctor to make sure) the day before a heatwave rolled in that was between 90 to 100f for the week and because of the withdrawals I just sat in an upstairs room trying to play video games and smoke a bunch of weed to tuff it out. The room was like 10 degrees hotter than outside so I was just roasting but the anxiety and the chills(which is the worst part- its 100 degrees but feel cold/sweating along with the goosebumps) made it also a bit more bearable because whenever I withdraw 80degrees feel like 60.
I felt so grimey from the heat that I tried for the first time this face wash with salicylic acid before sleep that caused an allergic reaction. I woke up the next morning with my face and body feeling on fire, alot pimples which is rare, and these giant hives that would appear everywhere on my body and face. This is still going on now even after 6-7 days but finally started to become less frequent yesterday. They would appear and grow to size of a baseball on some then stay for a few hrs, recede, repeat in a new spot. Even antihistamines the whole time did nothing to help.
The peak of withdrawals were on the 3-4 day(when I used the face wash) but felt like it stayed like that until the 6-7 then gradually got better and felt 80% complete on 9-10 day. The allergic reaction and the heat made it feel like the withdrawal doubled the morning I woke up and its the only thing bothering me now. The face wash also did something to my skin where it became super oily which I kept trying to wash my face every few hours when it would feel grimey which prob made it worse.
My level of sleep has not improved yet, it is the same as when I stopped, only an 1-3 hrs at a time max. A night or 2 I would crash for 3-6 hrs after staying up for a day or 2. Mild muscle aches. I remember the first 4-5 days I had to poop literally 4-5 times a day, this was coming from not being able to poop sometimes for 3-4 days lol. I only noticed after I stopped that the suboxone had changed my whole mood and behavior the whole time I was on it. I got done doing a whole bunch of shit I put off over the time I was suboxone, now I feel satisfaction getting stuff done before it felt like a chore.
If anyone is coming off of this or any other opioid, make sure you actually want to stop and are not just lying to yourself, push through it and remember that you will feel normal like a long time ago, something that we forget feels like in this terrible addiction. I had tried multiple times to stop before and would always get high around the peak thinking I could use a little heroin to help the withdrawals which is fucking stupid. Also you have the anxiety and mental want for your drug of choice which is half of the withdrawal if not 75 percent. When you are ready to get off you will not have any thoughts about wanting to go and get any shit or use just a little sub during withdrawals and when you do get that flash in your head, you end up saying fuck that.
