Detoxing off oxycodone and suboxone, how long will I feel crappy? What can I do?

[panhead61]

I was on oxycodone for about a year, then suboxone for 2 months to taper off. I was clean for 8 days and used once. That was for days ago and I just feel crappy, no energy/ motivation.

I know what you're going thru, trust me.
It sound's like you're having some PAWS symptoms,
It takes a little bit to feel better but it's worth it, I promise you.


What has helped me is kratom, just be careful with using it though.
Try to eat healthy and go on walks, that helps WONDERS!!


Best of luck to you!

Carry on there mate! Every day, every hour, every second you are getting closer to a state where your brain chemicals are normalizing and you can live a life free of opiates.

There are plenty of people on this website who know exactly what you are going through, so utilize this forum if need be.

And keep reminding yourself of two things: 1) your life will be better clean and 2) you are already on that journey so stay the course!

peace

Unfortunately feeling crappy is just part of the recovery process. Like Wowomg said make sure you are eating healthy and getting as much exercise as possible. I also found myself eating a lot of ibuprofen and Tylenol for the muscle aches which worked for the most part. If you can make it through this first 30 day period you will gradually start feeling better. you will feel like a new person in 3 or 4 months. Stay strong you are making the right decisions even though its painful.
