Honestly I’m not sure how long the withdrawal was. I cold turkied for a week and by day 7 I was slightly better but still absolutely miserable. I got on suboxone, worked up to 8mg, and managed to get functional, but still have some a good amount of PAWs type symptoms like some anhedonia, runny nose, pain sensitivity, etc over 2 weeks after quitting even with bupe. I plan on taking a 3 day break from bupe, using a full agonist for a few days to get my tolerance down, then going back to a much lower dose of bupe. 8mg is just way too much.
