Help with suboxone taper/withdrawal

Thank you! I did just email my sub dr. Hoping he will give me a call today. I can’t wait to be on day 30! Good for you! I really envy that! How did you overcome this? Hearing others stories really help. Mornings are the hardest ??
 
My god i can’t get my energy up and I’m supposed to do some shopping with my mom today and she doesn’t have a clue as to what’s going on! Help! What can i do for energy? I had better energy the first 2 days. Maybe it’s the Valium? Ughhhh
 
I wish you luck. Get your hands on nuerontin and maybe a little Xanax if you can. The nuerontins took away ALL withdrawal effects. Even diarrhea. You can get then from your sketchy doctir.

Also don't be so quick to put this on your husband because YOU were the one that took those pills. (There's a liquor store down the street and if I become an alcoholic it's not the.liquor stores fault its mine. Even if they supplied it to me..)

If you are really desperate yoy.can take offbbrand immodium. Most ppl.dont.know.that its.an opiate.thats over the.counter. take about 20-40 of them (which would.ne 20mg or 4omg.

But the best advice is to go to your crooked doctor and tell him you.have bad back pain and need nuerontin. Take a shit load of them
 
Energy, and sleep are the last things to come back. L tyrosine, and green superfood drink helped me. You cant expect your body to just go back to normal over night, your brain has some healing to do. Exercise lightly every day, its the best natural way of replacing endorphins into your brain. Two weeks minimum for the energy to come back, know it, accept it.

I am on Day 8 of my short sub taper. I do not have the history that you have. Mine was only 3 months. But I had a lot of pain as my primary complaint.

I keep reading how you are blaming your husband for everything. If think that if there were ever a case for suboxone it would be to stabilize your drug behavior while working to navigate your life to a better place. You married and asshole, but your kids have him as a Dad. This may get ugly and you need to be in your best mind and not tempted to take drugs for comfort. I wish you luck. From this day on, it's ALL YOU to make your life better. It seems impossible, but it's only difficult. And the journey will be what makes you strong.

Neurontin has a very sedating effect and she has children to care for. She will need to ease into it. Using it for w/d is off label and the only suggestion for dosing is provided by the Internet.

Please do not abuse neurontin. You will pass out. Additionally, it carries a risk of dependence as it's tolerance is ferociously huge. 900mg one day will be 1800 the next.

Hey Bret, I don’t mean to be a dick, but I’m not sure the “best advice” is ever to take a “shit load” of something/anything. Also, generally speaking, Imodium is sold in 2mg tablets. - that would be 40-80 mgs if you munched 20-40 of them.

Hello to both you mothers! Congratulations on deciding you want to quit. You can certainly do this, it’s just a matter of making yourself as comfortable as possible so you don’t do more damage in the process. With regard to Kratom, it can be a godsend to take the edge of acute withdrawal. Just be careful to take as little as possible and for as little time as possible. For me, I would be ok with that “just barely hanging on” feeling of taking just enough to survive and sleep when I need to - because I can tell myself that my body is healing. The piper appears to want to be paid in one way or another, if you know what I mean.

If you can get yours hands on some Clonodine, it does work shockingly well. It’s a BP med that any doctor who knows you are going through WDs should be happy to write a script for. It helped me with the cold sweats and rls, but the biggest help was it did seem to quiet my anxiety and loosen that tight feeling in my chest/head. Which was the worst part of acute wds for me.

Hang in there, you guys can do it.

I feel your anxiety. I too have been subscribed sub. I haven’t taken them yet because of all the horror storie. I just keep using h. I have to stop befor I loose everything. Again.

Please don't be afraid of sub. It is very useful and the only reason other than God that I got through this.

Induct at the right time, the right way.

Keep your dosage low by taking as little as possible until you can handle your symptoms. This will not make you 100% comfortable.

See if you can get clonidine from your doc to handle the sweats and mild anxiety.

Then every day, cut your dose in half.

Come off before a week if you can. There are different camps about how to taper. If you can't stop the sub, look up Robert_325's sub taper plan on drugs.com. He is a lovely man who has helped hundreds of people directly online to come off of subs. I think he withdrew from the Internet to go into ministry. However, there are a lot of people there who will help you with his plan.

You may still have residual w/ds, like I did, from the Oxy, but you will have avoided the puking and ugliest parts.

YOU CAN ALL DO THIS. Your body is very forgiving. There is an end to the suffering.
 
Sorry i will refuse sub at all costs. I don’t even feel like me on it and the doctor literally wants to keep me on it! Seriously?? Bc i used for 10 months? Never have i ever used h or shot up! I totally believe it’s a life saver for some but not me! And you know what i do blame my husband. What type of husband does that to their wife? Who comes home from work and just literally says “i have a surprise for you” andthrows the devil pills in my hand?? All i ever wanted was to be the best mom i could and secretly knowing i could get more done with those pills i knew i could do more for my children... now look at me. And now that I’m off everything and in withdraw that ass won’t even help me what so ever! Not lift a damn finger! He gave me them to trap me so i would have to depend on him. I’ve been with him since i was 15yr old and i got pregnant when i was 21 and had a lot of influence from both families to keep the baby and stay. You do a lot for family and now my mom is sorry as well as i. So please don’t speak what you don’t know. This story ain’t about him it’s about how to stop using and comfortably get and stay clean for everyone!
 
Kingsolomon take sub for a week. Start at like 8mg, taper down until .5mg on the 7th day and jump. You WILL be okay! Trust me. Yes I’m in withdraw but since i did that type of taper this is the easiest withdraw I’ve had. It’s a mental struggle for sure but you do it! Push yourself. Clean your house, clean things you never even would. Just keep your mind and body moving! Bless you and i will be here for you!

DO NOT INDUCT AT 8. It may be too much for your addiction.Take 1 or 2mg at a time and stay on the lowest dose possible. Some people are good at 2mg from the start. Others, 4mg. It is easy to over medicate yourself. Suboxone is EXPONENTIALLY more powerful than other medications.

Didn't mean to offend. But are you sure that making good decisions is your forte?

I've been married 28 years and I have five kids. I know some things.

I wish you luck.
 
Day 4! Wow can’t believe i made it! First day back to school for my 6yr old and was able to move productively to get him on track! Win mom! Now home today with the 3 yr old. Feeling better today than the last. I swear by these amino acids I’m fueling my body with!!! Just keep a kick ass attitude and I’ll keep pushing. Oh by the way for all you pro husband people here, husband went out to bar last night and never came home! Trust me, my kids are better with me. He’s only been my financial crutch. Again this is NOT about him! Anyways hoping my Kratom comes today but still have no idea how to use it!! Help?
