I have been off of suboxon for maybe 4 months now, and off of all opiates used to help me taper off the suboxone for more than two months.
The withdrawals are completely gone and have been for a long time. I sleep fine, no longer have rls or creepy crawley skin, I no longer feel drastic temperature fluctuations, and aside from some dysphoria (which has improved from horrid depression to just a less than great mood) I am fine. Sometimes I feel the wd's come back and I feel antsy and sweaty, but it's always all just in my head.
Getting off opiates, for the most part, only really sucks for about 6 weeks. I always pictured months and months of misery, but it isn't that bad.
