It's a real bastard. I'm on day 4 (5 years and tapered down to .5). Mentally hanging on, but physically kinda trash. My stomach and lack of sleep (restless body) is pretty much the worst right now. The sneezing and coughing were bad this morning. Coughing turned into retching so I've been taking promethazine (RX Phenergan) which is a blessing (Emetrol is OTC and would be my second choice for nausea). Imodium for the other. I need 8-9 hours of sleep but am lucky to get 3 or 4.

Nice going my friend,little tip from an old bloke from Down Under, start supplementing 'Liposomal Vit. C every day twice,(2000mgs) Good luck.!

That's not even a drug addict mentality, that's just the brutal realities of the world. You can't just rely on them every week, dealing with bitchy pharmacists, bitchy DEA, doctors flaking, stores flaking, holidays you didn't know about, there's all kind of reasons you can wind up completely fucked, even just miscounting something can be a whole day of withdrawal and no sleep it's godawful. I do the same thing with my heart medication. How am I supposed to know there isn't a pandemic incoming or some kind of economic crisis or war? What if I need to go hide in the woods in a civil war? What if the fucking health insurance cancels on me or stops covering it? Yeah you're got damn right I have a whole stash of my heart medication. Even if I get kicked off my insurance I can still have at least a spare month supply, they once prescribed me three times what my normal dose is but it's XR so idk what to do with that (idk where it is storage somewhere), I can easily stretch out my blood pressure meds for a few months. That's just being smart. You learn to be smart because of pain, you are actively forced to be smart through brutal punishment until you learn better not to trust this world and to always keep something you need stashed. I do the same shit with cash and assets, and so should you. You should keep a blank credit card and some cash no one knows about. Because that is smart to do.

I like this dude's attitude, definitely extremely encouraging.

Im day 34 my body is fine. But i feel brain dead, my minds not working. My interest are complety gone. Im worried and scared😢

Im on day 1. Its on bro. Im beating these subs! Been on it for 13 years. Im done with it. Also good job on not taking the xanx. Im looking forward to day 12 and on. Thanks for the video. It helped me

This video diary is a great idea

Not sleeping is the worse

What mg did you jump at? I'm currently on 12mg and I can't even taper. So maybe just jump when I can taper down to 2mg

Great insights. I’m on day 8 or 9 it’s kind of a blur at the moment. I recommend anyone taking on this quest for liberty getting off subs, get some: LIPOSOMAL Vitamin C Multivitamins Huge jug of water Gatorade Space heater Cbd/thc gummies (preferential/optional) This is just from my personal experience, but they’ve helped immensely. The gummies mainly for the sleep but not crucial. Space heater is nice when you’re freezing. I taken 4000mg of the liposomal vitamin c twice a day (so 2000mh once in the AM and once in the evening). I noticed this helped my energy levels a decent amount…Multivitamins daily. Have a good set of distractions around you. I’m fortunate to have my office that has a bed in it with ps5, Netflix, laptop etc. this will only help, but just know that you will be in a war with your mind. A war worth winning, and a war that can be won if you’re ready and prepared for it. I’m in the midst of mine. If I fail then I try again in a month even better prepared. Suboxone does save lives but it also dulls the colors, and is an active crutch in our sobriety. Don’t feel like you NEED it in your life forever. I’m super grateful for how it helped me build back my life, invest in things, fix my credit, learn a trade, have a skill set that’s an asset. But now it’s just a rusty ol’ ball & chain. And I want to feel deeply and hurt right and focus my thoughts with clarity and just be free to feel like my true self again. I’m Shawn I’m 34 years old. 12 year IV opiate addict. Suboxone maintenance for 5 years. Just tryna get free. And to anyone else on this wicked endeavor, Salute & Dig Deep. 🤙

i want quit kratom should i use suboxone??any suggestion.kratom.withdrawal really2 bad

I know it has been years but when did you jump off? I have been titrating, and I am at .15 to .25 every 12 to 14 hours but think tonight I can jump. Why? Surgery this Thursday in 4 days. My fear is the pain after and I'd like to go off in clean. I am sure residual will remain as I hope to stay away at least 4 days prior. My doc will give me dilaudid for pain after. Hope it help.

Need an update bro

I’m on day 8 right now and going strong! I watch your videos daily as a form of encouragement thanks for posting your experience and helping others! Sleep still sucks I’m really tired haven’t taken anything except melatonin and Benadryl and that has only been the last 2 nights! I want to feel the suck so I never go back! Thanks again for your videos!!💪🏻💪🏻

Im on day 3... Its starting as in feeling cold. Then i couldn't wake up like i normally do. The sweating while cold sucks... I find you as an inspiration. Without your videos i would not be able to get through the shit

I am tapering this time a really slow taper but I have come off suboxone cold turkey a few times in the past. I do remember it got better at the end of the 3rd week. Please hang in there. Take the good with the bad. Alot of bodily functions return like sneezing yawning and sex drive. Those are good things. The insomnia and aches and pains are the worst. I am grateful I have seroquel for the sleep. Suboxone lowers hormones especially testosterone and hormones impact every single function in our body. My estrogen was almost 0. I had to get on hrt. Since you stopped suboxone your testosterone levels should return to normal so that's a positive. Having low testosterone can make you feel like crap and impact your body composition. You can get gelatinized maca root powder to help your testosterone to go back up faster. Keep going you are almost there. If you really need comfort meds for the next 10 days it'sOK. .

Ty so much for making these videos. You have no idea the strength and courage you have given me. Means the world. Lots of love from Charleston SC ❤

Ahhhh the withdrawal sneezes lol

I had seen some one detoxing used something called Kratom ....You get it at a smoke shop...I got some and I fuking was able to SLEEP at night " Red Vine Kratom " It will save you

I hope your doing good because how you are going about this is realistic. Real is all that works

you'd be better off with some red bali kratom. Or nothing lol

I have use subtex manny years!! And now metadon!! I know how difficulty dere is to get sober from opiate adiktion!! Stay strong bro❤

Wow this shits crazy. I’m on day 8 off subs and I gave my bars to my gf yesterday cuz I didn’t want to take them more than 7 days. I saved a quarter secretly though and I’m fighting the thought of taking it cuz I’m feeling all the emotions of withdrawal today. Talk about a sign from God seeing this video haha

Hopefully he still clean its been what 2 years since last video

Im on 80mg of methadone been on for years im looking into switching from methadone to suboxone since methadone is so much worse on your body so im hoping it gets better

Out of interest, I came off fast and long acting oxy over 150mg daily for years, then went to hospital to get off them, so 3 days cold Turkey, in massive withdrawal, i know you know what i mean, then saboxone tongue dissolves for 3 weeks, now sublicade monthly injection of 300mg for 5 months, 100mg last month, and hopefully 1 more 100mg this month and that's it. I want to share my journey to help you. I was on oxy for 5 years because of knee and other surgeries. If i didnt take them every 2 hours i was sick, I woke up in withdrawal every morning. I just saw you've been on saboxone for 8 years. Maybe different to my journey. Ok, keep your strength up, I know how bad opioid withdrawal is. Please look at sublicade see if it can help, it's been life changing for me and I'm almost there. Minimal withdrawal coming down from 300 monthly to 100, and next month, zero. I watch these videos and appreciate how hard it is to just get back to what normal people feel. I'm months in and still I'm not there. I cannot believe how damaging these prescription medications are, I hate them.

I'm on 14 bro it's a nightmare hard to eat

Cold Turkey???? You're so strong. I wouldn't even attempt that.

Why no body mentions exercise

If today is the “WORST” day, the previous days were vacations!

Dude you're day 7 was my day 1-65. I'm 100% serious it took me almost a year to fully recover from 19 years of 2mg buprenorphine daily!!! I was put on subs at the age of 20 and didn't decide to stop until 39. Worst experience I ever had, suboxone is a wicked drug and keeping people on it long term is a really bad idea and totally unnecessary. If a person wants to stop they will.

I’ve come off of suboxone a handful of times. Insanity at its finest. Everyone EXCEPT MY LAST was absolutely brutal at the 7day mark. The last time I had weened way down and had been on 1mg for a couple of months until my last two weeks when I just took less and less almost everyday. But hanging on the last few days until April 14 2023! NO MORE! Never again! I’ve started to wake up between 3am-5am every morning. I learned exercise was rough but vital. Here I am on kratom. WORST IDEA EVERRRRRR. 😂 today is day one no kratom, killin itttt. Struggling with sweating, emotions, and restless. I found that Tylenol PM was a god send for a bit

Brother how long were you on .50 mg before going down to .25?

mad respect

Damn I’d hate to be stuck in an escape room with withdrawal diarrhea lol

Ive been real lucky with my methadone withdrawal as my pleasure receptors are still firing, im at day 16

Hey bro I'm on day 16 myself... I just wanna say your videos gave me the push I needed man... I honestly, truly do wanna say thank you! I worked everyday through all of this.. but again I did have 4 days off for Thanksgiving break... which truly gave me the first 4 days on my couch... I'M telling you guys, you can do this! KEEP YOUR MIND BUSY!!! day 2 I got no sleep at all but 30 minutes... day 3 4 and 5 I just felt cold chills here and there, and day 6 through 8 was a little tough. But, I got through it. Since day 9 to now I feel pretty good.. not perfect, but pretty good. My main problem is at nights, I do wanna crash around 8, 9 pm... I get really tired at night, but I still get it least 5 hours of sleep.. REMEMBER YOU ONLY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS ONCE!!! Dedicate yourself for 1 week, and I promise you, you would not look back!!! I love you all, and you can do this!!! Keep your mind busy! Working really helped with that!!! God bless you all!!!!!

Great video dude!

Bro you still active? I am loving your videos!!! ❤

Love your videos man

By the way, I’ve been on Subutex for 20 plus years and just jumped from 3 a day. I feel your struggle’s brother.

I’m doing the Hyper Ween. Keep the Faith, and trust in Jesus Christ. He WILL deliver us from this POISON!!!

Your awesome buddy!

Good vid bro ! You look good; i am day 19 and crazy chills & sweating still … ohh and insomnia is terrible…

It's day 18 , no hardcore physical withdrawal but sometimes feel slight joint pain on legs , lack of energy. Taking 1/4 ibrupine pill to feel a bit relaxed, don't know how long more will it take .

I don’t know if you’ll come back to this but how are your energy levels? Then and now. I have such addict mentality that while in a storm my brain assumes it will be this way forever. I’m 12 days and I spend so much time feeling sorry for my poor brain and all I’ve ever put her through. Like almost same exact amount of time spent on this as you and maybe an irrational, maybe a rational fear is of just permanent damage like things will never reach homeostasis again.. Like a normal functioning, dopamine and serotonin synapses will never be again. Do you feel “normal”? Is there normal? Haha. Meh. Being a human is hard.

Wooooow!! The strength!!! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

Samauri !!

Amen brother, love that mindset.

Best video I’ve seen! Even included that useful calculator. How many days did the diarrhea last? I’m on about day 4.
