That would be very interesting to see if the naloxone was the cause.

Crazy, I didn't know that! Is it comparable to the sweating one gets as a side effect of methadone?

Yes but I have no personal experience of hyperhydrosis on opiates. There's a plethora of suboxone mega thread posts in Other Drugs which highlight this issue.
I just did my last piece of sub 24 hours ago and am freaking out, I have been on that crap for about 18 months and tapered myself down to 1/4 a day. I have a handful of vik 5s to help me transition off. My goal is to be free from all addictions (pills) I am very new to this site (posting etc. And could really use a hand) please contact me or w/e, I would like some information on how long I should wait to use the viks to help get me away from the oranges etc. Thx

As long as possible?
You're not going to feel right for a while, but don't panic. You can do this!
Thanx guys, I really appreciate the feedback. I'm from Maine and I flew out to AZ after my mom had a heart attack to help her and decided to stay for a while, if I hadn't stayed here I would have stayed on the subs forever (buying from friends, I had a steady supply) and I was getting sick of it controlling my life, I new I'd run out eventually (which was the plan) I just didn't realize how hard it would be until today (I have none left) but I did grab a handful of viks (couldn't find any benzos) I'm truly hoping they help make the transition to being sober easier (I never had any issues with addiction to viks) I have a little reefer too so hopefully I won't be a complete wreck while going through the motions and I can still help my mom.

Do you believe the Vicodins really necessary for you to get off the buprenorphine?

It's up to you but wouldn't use opiates to get off Buprenorphine as isn't that why you took it in the first place? Maybe comsider immodium i forget the name you call it the lope?

Im not going to lie to you kicking suboxone is fucking hell. I jumped off at a similar dose as you and well as you are probably finding out right now it is bad. The acute phase will peak at around day 10 then gradually get better for the next however long. I was still sick when I relapsed at day 33.
But you do have a chance if you handle this right. Get some loperamide and by some I mean a alot! some places have 100 count bottles get 2 of those. 10mg of lope will make you not want to kill yourself, you can dose higher but just know that lope is a very unhealthy opiate so the goal is to use it to help with withdrawal not stop the withdrawal. You should also see a doctor and explain to him the situation and ask for clonidine, gabapentin, and a muscle relaxer. If you pick up those pharms you have a chance at succeeding. Otherwise odds are your going to get hooked on the viks or end up going to a sub doctor.

^Kicking Suboxone/Subutex wasn't hell for me. I had some insomnia and RLS, but at taking 8mg/day down to 4mg/day for a year and a half, and then doing a short taper before jumping off, it really wasn't the end of the world. Not fun, but not something you can't overcome with a little good old fashioned determination. Just make sure you're kind and gentle with yourself, because every kick is different.
Thx for the info, and to answer evel's question, no I never had a problem with viks etc. I was in the game (selling yay & down) and naturally it wasn't long before I was "trying" product (@ least that's how I justified it) and I have no insurance and no doctor etc. I have muscle relaxers and viks. Not familiar with loperamide or lope though.
And that's a huge bummer that you still felt like shit after 30 days, I was really hoping it would be less of a haul, but that's 1 reason I don't want to go back east yet (too easy to get subs etc) kinda forcing me to finish it this time. I truly appreciate everyone's feedback and advice, I was worried about not having anyone to talk to about this etc. I have read many threads here over the years but finally sacked up and got involved myself. Thanks

I'm doing really well! I feel great. My body has adjusted and I have very minimal side effects- haven't had much hot flashes or sweating anymore, and cravings seem to be kept at bay.
Sublingual.
My diet is fine. I don't eat a lot of junk food at all because I have food allergies so I'm kinda forced to eat healthily.

loperamide is an over the counter anti-diarrhea medicine. It happens to be an opiate that doesn't cross the blood brain barrier which means it doesn't get you high. It does help withdrawals though in fact many people say it will completely stop them if you take a high enough dose. Like 20mgs and higher. I have used it to great effect by taking 10mgs while sick from heroin.
aq- I am really happy to hear that your felling better!

Glad to hear you're doing better then
Just a friendly reminder, I don't know what you're doing with your life now, or what you'll be doing in the future for money, but keep in mind BL is a public forum. LE are pieces of shit and anything on here can be used against you in court if something were to happen in the future. I know this is probably sounds crazy, but I've seen it happen. I hope you keep up the great work in your recovery!
