So I've come off suboxone plenty of times, one or two times that i've withdrawn from sub the withdrawals don't start for a few days.

So I'm coming off suboxone now, my last dose was friday, it's now sunday night. My withdrawals haven't started yet but everytime this type of thing happens (where the withdrawals don't start for a few days) I actually feel really good during the days that I'm waiting for my withdrawals and not taking suboxone.. i mean i feel better during the couple days before my withdrawals where I'm not taking my subs than I do when I was actually taking my subs..


I'm sure the withdrawals are coming, but why do i feel so good in the days after my last sub dose and before my withdrawals??
 
One more thing, I know the chance of this happening is nill, but is it possible I could get through this with no withdrawals whatsoever?
 
Might help if you wrote what dose you were at before stopping? If its a large dose then it shows you would be better off with a lower one. There are lot of potential side effects from large doses of Suboxone. And the whole 'less is more' thing with suboxone is true for most people.
 
Not terribly high, but still more than most people really need to maintain on Suboxone. You'd probably feel better doing a smaller dose, which would explain feeling good for a few days before w/d hits. And there is no way you are not going to w/d, it would be an anomaly to say the least.
 
one more thing, say the WD's hit me day 3 or 4 then I took about 2mg sub, would it give me any kinda high/buzz?
 
^Only as much as Suboxone can give someone with an opiate tolerance. I mean you are getting high from suboxone, its just a shitty high compared to stronger opioids. Letting yourself get sick is a good way to appreciate the Suboxone more, though, because you realize how powerful it is, what happens when you don't have it and the sweet relief it gives when you take it.

I mean, "high/buzz" would be kind of an overstatement. If you take it after that long in withdrawal, obviously it taking away your symptoms and making you feel better will be kind of euphoric in a way... but, if you have an opiate tolerance, you're not going to get a high from it, not in the real sense of what an opiate high is.
