Ive been on suboxone/subutex for years. I had a 900mg/day roxi habit and was fading fast when I got on the subs...everything was fine until I moved a few months ago(Idaho...yes, I'm an idiot)and assumed being in the state capital would make it easy to find suboxone doctors...well, I was wrong! They are virtually nonexistent, and NO one out here takes subs...its all h! Anyway, I guess I'm just bitching! I'm on day number 3 of sub withdrawal. FML
 
Damn your in for a rough ride. What dose did you run out at? Expect somewhere between 15-20 days off nasty acute withdraw. Followed by a long period of post acute withdrawal symptoms. Of you are serious about staying off opiates you should go to a doctor or psychiatrist and explain your situation so they can write you some comfort meds. I couldn't imagine facing this kick totally cold turkey. I was at rehab when I faced withdrawal from 2mg a day and it was still truly hellish. You should ask for clonidine, gabapentin,lyrica, zofran, a muscle relaxant, and some kind of benzo. Get some loperamide at the pharmacy. It is an opiate that doesn't cross the blood brain barrier so it will significantly lessen withdrawal in doses over 10mg. Also getting some weed is a good idea too.

I wish you luck man. If you do find yourself relapsing look into getting on methadone. I know it has a bad reputation but it has saved my life. Btw did you post something similar on reddit?
 
Thanks crimson/rapper/herb! Nah ive never been on reddit. My dose is down to roughly .75 mg/day. Not because I was tapering or weaning but because(as I'm sure much has been written about)the agonist properties of bupe are much more PRIMARY at below 2mg/day, and I am not a big fan of the ANTAGONIST properties so I try to keep them in check lol...and speaking of MMT, if I dont get lucky today then I'm going to be at Raise the Bottom @5am tomorrow! Sucks having to pay the intake fee when I will only be going for a day or two, but it beats the hell out of my current..hell!
