stuck in suboxone hell

[Dtresearch17]

Everyday I so painful, I run out constantly. I'm ruining my family's life with my addiction. My dog and close friend just dies I can't take it anymore. I'm so close to suicide I just wanna be Free I don't wanna waste space here just need to talk to someone

Are you prescribed it or abusing it? Or both?

 

[Dtresearch17]

Sorry I kinda went off the edge on some 3meopcp couldn't talk or respond for awhile...I am prescribed but my main drug of abuse was sub to begin with. Basically when I stop taking sub's I feel withdrawal that is extreme. Then when I do take some sub the withdrawal stops and I just feel awful from side effects. Sometimes I throw up all night pure stomach acid after I dose? I can't sleep at all even when I take it. I have never felt so helpless and I can't believe the doctor told me it was easy to quit sub at anytime

I'm also stuck with on/off suboxone use.
it sucks so bad.

I try to get off it but only last about a week before I give in.
when I don't take subs I relapse on weed which I'm not supposed to(Im in AA).
it's a vicious cycle and I'm filled with guilt.
subs are fucking hard to quit!

wishing you all the best

If you are puking and having side effects, your dose is way too high. When I went on I made sure to be on a dose that holds me but has nothing in way of effects. So a little bit under my tolerance level, there was an adjustment period and I experienced a bit of withdrawals mentally which lasted a couple months but it was worth it. If the dose is too high it will cause suppression of hormones and nausea, among other negative side effects.

Are you guys tapering down properly? If you taper down slow enough it shouldn't be that bad. Once you get under 2mgs it starts to really hit you hard and it is important to go down by 0.5mgs every week or so and take it really slowly. You can even go to 0.25mgs and then 0.175mgs.

I went through he'll coming off subs it just takes time and being mentally stronger then the drug. But I also was doing it so my gf could see it was possible to quit. Best of luck to you.

Why don't you take it one step at a time. If weed/alcohol can help you with your withdrawal symptoms then why not use that? Why force yourself to go cold turkey on everything?

When time comes to come off morphine for me, i believe the alcohol and weed will help me. I would never attempt to give it all up at once, to me you're setting yourself up for failure. You need your small comforts during such a tough time.

Look into getting into a residential detox / rehab program is all I can tell you. If you don't have good health insurance or a ton of cash lying around in your bank accounts, though, you may have to humble yourself and go to a good, scholarship provided Christian rehab. Who knows? It might ultimately be beneficial for your soul to do so.

Well I have tapered to .1mg a day so that's good I guess al jump from there . I have about 40 1mg klonopin and some 3meo PCP I'm gonna try to get lyrica from my pyshchaistrist so that should help

 

[Tinker55]

Is there any way you can taper further? Suboxone stays in the body a looong time-people report not feeling the w/d for a couple of days. If you have some left, it might be easier on you if you go to 1/2 mg for 3 or 4 days, then 1/4 before jumping..

 

[cire113]

if he has tapered to .1mg a day he can definitely jump from there; trust me thats low enough; you could go lower but i doubt it would make much a difference...

i jumped at .5 I'm on day 16 it sucks still ! but gets better every day... praise jesus..

You gotta pay the piper someday; its best to just get it over with....

also i don't know if 3 meoPCP will really help you at all.....

just remember when you can light walking is KING

 

[opium]

I just started the sub program ironically....i've used them before but never in a program....

I know what you're going thru to the tenth degree...if you ever need to talk, feel free to pm me.

Stay strong, and for the WD's use lopermide im telling you, i cant preach that stuff enough. And be happy its subs, i hear subs have a much easier withdrawal than other opiates/opiods not to take anything away from you...its still tough.

Are you in any kind of counseling? does your family know? We're here for you

 

[cire113]

withdrawal from subs or methadone is way worse than regular opiates...


day 18 no subs and i am in hell. its way harder than shorter acting opiates; because it LASTS FUCKING FOREVER. god dam rough night.



i can't wait to stop withdrawling so i can change my god dam avatar
