I came to this site to post about Suboxone withdrawl since I've just finally came out of it and wanted to share my experience. It's not worth discussing what lead me to Suboxone in much detail but in short, many drugs were picked up and experimented over the yrs and I never had issues leaving them -- any of them.....but after 2 surgeries and extended opiate use I found myself extremely stuck. I went to a clinic (against my judgment) and started methadone not knowing better -- i personally hated it after a few weeks and felt like a crackhead tbh, so after 2 or 3 months I quit cold turkey at 60 mgs. After 7 days of withdrawl I went back to clinic after they called and told me to come for suboxone....again, like an idiot, I did -- and I loved it!!! While taking it, it's the greatest thing in the world and, I felt normal finally after yrs of not. I was RXd 20 mgs a day (75 strips a month) for about 20 months......i finally decided to jump off it. I did like others said and bought a mass amount of vitamins, supplements, detox teas etc etc, I tapered to 2 mg, and honestly felt so bad after 5 days or so I thought F it , and jumped (if I'm going to feel like ass what was the point right? ?) -- anyways, wldnt suggest doing what I did now but if you find yourself in the same situation I just wanted to say , you CAN do it. For me, at day 4 I thought I can't so this (it wad HARD) BUT, I also cldnt go thru it a 2nd time knowing how bad I felt (it was hard enough to convince myself going in blind, to jump)......there's never a good time to feel sick, or give yourself the flu, so one day you will just have to suck it up and decide you want life back!# despite time frames I've read, it was really bad for about 11 days straight, and on day 12 i finally started to improve ......i have never felt so powerful and yet so weak at the same time in my life!!!! There's a strange EUPHORIA that comes from knowing you are going to beat it. Even when you still feel weak and bad......stuff smells better, wind feels better, birds chirp louder and music is just better than you remember....its like sensation overload and you realize , you've been living in a haze all along. I am now on 35 days of no suboxone or opiates and, I honestly never thought I would make it.....and I know most feel the same. You have to be mentally strong and tell your self you got in the situation and, you're gonna have to fight to get out of it. As far as vitamins and all that, it's a joke!! After day 4 I smoked some hydro (something I hadn't done in 10 or more yrs) -- and it truly helped -' ease all issues including no sleep to some degree. I'm now on board for medical Marijuana!!! The only other thing I would suggest id Imodium AD (but only when REALLY cant take anymore and only for a day or 2) -- around day 6 or 7, you're gonna have to force yourself to get up and get out -- i cld only take about 15 mins of activity before sitting down, but you have to push thru it.....Truth Be Told I PROBABLY Was 100% At day 30, BUT, It's NOT the 100% I once was - just have To Accept that, but I Hold Out hope that my Energy will return AND ill Be how I once was. Nothing is worth more than freedom.......and, I have to be honest, being free from drugs Def out weighs any and all else. I dug for months for success stores and found very few, so I wanted to let anyone know whose struggling, if i can do it so can you -- it is not easy, but it CAN be done, and YOU can have your life back.....the suffering in days 3-6/7 - it does start to go away and if you can just push thru it I promise in no time it will be a distant memory ---
