So looking into it; I never found a ton of positive Suboxone tales for withdrawals. I decided I would write one up to give you hope. My path to this story is pretty straight forward. Pills to heroin and finally to subs. Subs were great and helped me get my shit together! I was on subs for 5 years at least with zero relapse.
People are on too high of a sub dose. PERIOD. I started out on 16mg and never needed that much. Over years I started tapering on my own; partially to lower my dose but also so I wasn't beholden to another dealer. I would use my cache as a buffer in case anything came up. I moved so something DID come up. I no longer had insurance or mad money. This shit was going down in a couple months.
I got down to at most .5mg. It's hard to gauge after a certain point with 8mg pills but the pieces were tiny. I am big on stabilizing at a dose and was there for quite some time before jumping off. In the final days I tried to break up my last pieces to basically nothingness.
Day 1.
Nothing gnarly to be honest. I dosed the evening before so perhaps that is why. I smoke some weed to sleep things are great.
Day 2.
Chills, lethargy, one bout of shits, problems sleeping and sneezing. Once again, pretty easy to go through.
Day 3.
Much the same but what starts killing me is my mood. For sure depressed and ending up taking 10mg of vicodin. Felt better but still feel like a piece of shit for "cheating"
Day 4.
Most physical symptoms are gone and I purchase loperamide which rocks!
Day 5-10.
Loperamide!!! Mood is still shit but even my minor physical symptoms are gone.
I am at least 2-3 weeks deep at this point. My mood is still garbage but improving steadily. I would highly suggest loperamide and pot for sleep. I feel pretty confident with this being wrapped up finally and looking forward to a normal brain chemistry. I honestly believe quitting is just truly committing to what is about to happen. Do it right and things are pretty easy physically; I was expecting nightmare symptoms. Good luck to all and my final thought is get your dose down to nearly nothing, stabilize, and then jump.
