Bupe Day 5 off of suboxone and to be honest it is not as bad as everyone says (SUBJECTIVE)

It's way better today. It was full blown anxiety attacks. Not fun, but it seems to have passed this far today.
 
I believe tomorrow will be 2 full weeks off subutex... I was taking about 1.25 mgs everyday for 9 months... Im wondering how long it will take my body to clear it all out??

The kratom is holding me just fine, but I dont want to depend on it forever.. not to mention it does cost money..

I was thinking after 6 weeks my body will have completely purged the subutex and I can begin a pretty damn fast taper on kratom...

Or maybe it will go quicker than I think.. I work at home (run an online business).. so I work when I want.. and still end up making close to the same amount even when dope sick.. soo im in a good situation at least.

Im very grumpy at some times.. but am staying very positive. and I have to say I have the most supportive g/f in the world.. who is quite patient with me, and encouraging.. it really does help.

Hope you are doing good detoxdiva and twotoomany.

I am friend requesting ya guys in case ya ever need to talk!

Thanks Buddy! Once I figure out how to accept that, I will!! Supportive people in your life are very helpful that's for sure! I'm doing just fine these days and am feeling 100 percent normal, I think it's been almost 3 weeks but I have lost track :)
 
Hello all I have been on subs for 6 months now.. I have been on 8 mgs a day for prob. A little over 2 months. I ran out and took my last 2 mg piece yesterday.. I
Can't get my script refilled until Wednesday.... FML... how fast will Mr wd's start and how bad will my wd's be?
 
You probably wont even begin to feel sick until 48 hours after that last dose. The worst of it wont have even began by the time you get more!

I did not start feeling tiered or going through WD til day 3, and if you take a larger dose in general this will prob be the case because of the half life of the drug
 
Still off subutex.. and still using kratom.. decided I will try to get off of it over the next week.

It shouldn't be bad, but its my only safety blanket right now. haha
 
I was on it for almost a year. Started at around 26mg and slowly weaned down to 16mg over 9 months. The last 3 months I weaned down to 2mg, and then stopped taking it. The withdrawal was not nearly as intense as with heroin, but it was the length that killed me. It just went on and on and on and on......

I felt like I was at day 2 of heroin withdrawal for a week, and then at @ day 1.5 of heroin withdrawal for a month. And then maybe day 6 or 7 of heroin withdrawal for another 2 months. Then the post acute withdrawal lasted half a year (the physical part).

The worst physical symptom was restlessness. Those kicking legs kept me from getting any kind of a decent sleep for a long time, and I just found it impossible to be comfortable for about 4 months. Not even close to the intensity of heroin withdrawal, but the length of it, even though it was mild, made it worse for myself. I also was in rehab for 4 months during this time, and because I stopped taking it after a month of being there, they didn't allow me the privileges of those coming in and detoxing. Sitting through AA meetings was painful. I constantly wanted to just get up and sprint due to the restlessness. But at the same time, I was constantly exhausted, and wanted to sit down the second I got up to "run."

I was just waiting for it to get worse, so that it would get better. But it just stayed the same, which was arguably more frustrating. Especially because the symptoms were not nearly as visible to those around me, so I got no sympathy (most importantly from the doc giving out ativan to everyone else but me....since the w/d were "over"....... lol.)

P.S. I agree, exercise is the BEST thing for the lingering withdrawal. Especially the restlessness and the depression/anxiety. I was able to take a nap after doing heavy weights. Sometimes.

Also, I will add that my withdrawal was probably more frustrating because I was in rehab during the majority of it, and had to sit still in groups and meetings for the majority of the day. Kratom is also a no-no in rehab :)

But keep it up man. It is so great to be free from it. =D

Hey detoxdiva, I'm really happy to hear your detox is going well so far. Your positive, healthy attitude is key, hold onto that as long as you can.

I'm 101 days clean from Sub CT off an alternating 4/8mg dose.

In my experience, the first couple weeks were physically pretty tough with huge ups and downs. Then things improved a lot for a while and I thought the whole PAWS concept was bullshit. I refer to this stage as the "pink cloud".

Then after a month or so clean, I started dealing with some tough psychological symptoms sporadically (1-2 days of severe anxiety/depression/paranoia) then I'd be fine for a few days, etc.

Recently, these psychological symptoms have been showing up less frequently, and the "good days" are getting better. I have questioned my sanity a few times throughout this process though.

It really could have been a lot worse though. And I'm happy to hear some positivity around the subject of CT sub cessation. Keep up the good work and stay strong! Just be ready to deal with some of the PAWS from your brain chemistry going back to normal. Suboxone is a nasty drug.

101 days? Nice man. Congrats. It's not easy.
 
i was on suboxone for over 15 months started on 16 mgs a day after about 6 months went down to 8 mgs a day for about 3 months then went down to 4 mgs a day then about 3 weeks ago had had enough of being reliant on this drug and dropped to 2 mgs a day and every 3 or four days have been tapering down to I got to .25 currently on day 2 without any suboxone and feel ok minor symptoms so far hot and cold sweats snezzing early days but with the daily support from a 12 step program during the past three weeks and daily exercise routine and some clonidine tablets the detox to date feels nothing like a full scale heroin or methadone detox
 
SOOOOO.. i ran out of kratom.. got more on the way.. but .. at least ill see how sick.. I get without the stuff.. and where I am at.. I took 1/8th of my normal dose at 6 am this morning and again at 3 pm. Its now 4:30... and I sneezed a few times, but nothing yet... will definitely update.
 
I am on day 3, it is evening now, and for the most part I am doing okay. I am experiencing very little withdrawl, with the exception of some hot and cold, sweats, and a headache. My last dose of .5 was on Friday. I did purchase some kratom, which I believe helped dramatically compared to past withdrawals. I am glad that it was not as bad as I made it out to be in my head. I am averaging 3 to 4 showers a day to keep the gross cold sweaty thing away, but all in all I feel like tomorrow will be better than today. Here is some hope and strength to all of you out there wanting to stop. Don't sike yourself out guys, it is mind over matter for sure! A few days of feeling not great is worth the many more.....but with my past...who the hell am I kidding. I have stayed clean for 3 years and relapsed. Hope this is the last.
 
No kratom again today... I actually slept some! I took my normal xanax dose, but added on 5 gabapentins.. I normally dont take.. it helped the restless legs, and smoked about 1.5 grams of heady weed.. which helped as well. I took 1 loperamide to protect myself lol, but tbph I dont feel that bad. I finally have an idea of where my body is at.
