suboxone-Im saf, how long before i get well

is this shit supposed to make you sick before you get well?

It does for some people. And you may not have taken enough. but if it got worse you're in precipitated withdrawal and you just gotta ride it out.

Try to keep yourself distracted with movies or video games or if you can stand it, go for a walk. Try to keep your mind off the pain. In my experience at least 75% of withdrawal is mental. And yes, that acute phase is absolute hell, but just keep telling yourself it will get better. I usually advise people on an OTC detox kit:

Benadryl/diphenhydramine (for sleep)
supplement shakes if you're vomiting to keep some nutrition down
loperimide (Imodium) go check out the lope megathread if you're unfamiliar with this
movies
baby wipes (you'll stink getting all those toxins out and won't want to shower)

And if you cn get your hands on some gabapentin for the RLS that'd be great

Good luck, we'll be here to help you through it, but you can do this.

ok i think ive come out of the tail end of this. my withdrawls hit a baseline yesterday about 8 hrs after the first sub, the sweats and heebeejeebees went away mostly leaving me with nausea and a backache till about 8 this morning when i finally got the strength to go outside and bum a smoke. feeling pretty functional now except for a little bit of nausea and shivers. not too bad really. i even managed to sleep a bit last night. thanks for the support folks, i was feeling so f'ed and alone yesterday, it helped alot.

Glad to hear that your finally feeling better from the sub. So what is your plan with the sub now? I am actually about to start my rapid sub detox from opiates starting tomorrow. About to take my last dose of opiates in an hour or so then wait my 24 hours to start the damn thing. I'm so worn out from doing opiates I must tell myself 1,000 times a day that I am so tired of living like this and can't wait to get clean. But seriously this is it tomorrow is the day! Thanks for posting and keep us updated! Its gonna help be my motivation!

I detoxed off opana and xanax for five days (thought I was gonna go into cardiac arrest). Before I went to rehab and suboxone barely put a dent in my what I would call level two withdraw. Still having symptoms when i left rehab from the use of opana. I got through the final hurdles using adderall and celexa message me if you want to know more. I wouldn't wish withdraw and the fear of it always there on my enemies....maybe my worst enemies but not the semi enemies.:D
