- Just sharing my experience and what I when through during Suboxone withdrawal.
it's not as bad as I make it out to be on here, and you shouldn't be afraid to make the jump, or at least test the water, if you're wanting freedom from Suboxone.

I was on suboxone for 6 years roughly. Prescribed 24mg a day but was only taking 8 mg split between 2 doses most days. Some days i would take up to 16 mg. Needless to say I stopped going to clinic and had hundreds of 8mg tablets. I got down to just 1/4 of one, or 2mg, a day over the course of 6 months. The last 2 weeks I made 1 8mg last the 2 weeks. I scraped off crumbs from the tablet with a knife. I stopped and had literally no withdrawels. I was expecting hell and it never came. I did take .1 mg clonidine 2x a day for the first 4 days after stopping as well as 10 mg of loperamide 1x day. Good luck yall. Alot of it is in your head. Freeeeee finally.
Awesome, and congratulations! I'm glad you were able to get off of it, especially with no withdrawal. It's a great feeling, especially after you get passed a couple of months, and everyday you think, wow, I'm not a slave to this no more. Thanks for your story!
I’m on day 6 from 2mg. I really have felt very little withdrawal. Been on it almost 20 years. I do have Ativan so maybe that’s helping but I keep waiting and nothing really is happening except minor leg pain, overall feeling kinda depressed but I’m hoping the withdrawal doesn’t start up like a week or more after my last dose. Like I said I’m day 6.
I’m going to a detox weds. Been 6 years on this and I’ve tapered down to 1.5 mg. Almost every day I start experiencing some mild withdrawal and while I’m sleeping I wake up with rls and can’t go back to sleep. Really nervous but happy to be getting off.
@@dwb131313 Wow, unusual but great to hear.
@@dwb131313 2mg for 20 year's is a very long time forget about the dose just the sheer amount of time you been on it is enough for the withdrawals to last 30-60 day's and that's just the acute withdrawal phase the post withdrawal phase won't be as bad and you should be able to go about your business by this time but seriously it could take a good year or so before you're brain fully recovers. Make sure you taking long acting naltrexone for atleast 12 months to help give your receptors a chance to heal and begin producing endorphins ( feel good chemicals) independent from the opioid. Long acting opioids like buprenorphine will make you suffer for a very long time mainly because it's a partial agonist. Let me know your status I know what I'm talking about.
I should have just taken the week off work to get off oxys 2 years ago. These subs are so much harder to kick. Couldn't afford to miss work. These cold sweats and no sleep yet exhausted is so much on top of other health issues. Let's all keep working at it. Tapper the right way. Time flies. Much love ✌️
Keep at it, it gets better pretty quickly once you're off! Thanks for watching!
How many mg were you taking a day? I’m coming up on 18 months 1 or 2 at most a day and nervous to start my ween off.
Happy I ain't u guys
The restless leg was the worst for me. As someone who took it on and off for 4 years the withdrawals sucked. When I started I would take a 1/4 of an 8mg strip. I took that amount for the first year on the recommendation of a friend and it was here and there. Then later I started more consistently. At the time I had no clue what withdrawals were so there was no panic when I was close to running out. Once you experience your first withdrawal it will forever change how you take a drug. Glad I left Suboxone behind. Good for you on getting off it.
Awesome, I'm glad you left it behind as well!
Videos like this are so incredibly important.
Thank you so much for making it.
Im so happy for you, and way to go!
Free from the chains!
Thank you, and thanks for watching, it means a lot!
Im on day 2 of no suboxone. I was on it for 6 years. I had gotten down to 1/4 of a 2mg strip. When i knew i had a little less then 1 strip left, i started cuttinf it with a razor, into the smallest little slivers. My last 2 days, i cut my last little sliver, in half. I mean, this thing was small, but it was enough to make me feel somewhat normal. Im day 2 of none and ive had restless leg like a mother at night but i still was able to fall asleep. I drink a lot of water, and i did light exercise. Im praying i can be back to normal soon but im expecting it to be at least 2 weeks or more of mental stuff. Be strong. This is your life. I know we can do it.
Awesome and congratulations on getting off! Just remember RLS and physical withdrawals will only last 2 weeks maximum, so keep that in mind and keep pushing to that goal, and you will surely make it! Mentally, it's a little longer, but keep yourself busy, and take walks and get that natural dopamine working again. I swear you will get high on natural dopamine!
Keep me updated!
@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it Thanks for replying! :) I'm on day 8 now and I'm actually doing really well. I'm still dealing with the restless leg but it's getting better and better every night. Also, taking magnesium, zinc and iron supplements and taking Epsom baths help. I notice that hot baths and showers are a big help and I will take as many as I feel I need to just feel good. 🫠
@@SarahAbukhalil hey can you update me, I'm.nosy as hell. I'm on 8mg per day and want to get off this shit. I once ran.out when I was first using it, in small amounts and I had restless legs like a mother fucker as soon as I'd sit or lie down at night, and shitting through the eye of a needle, interrupted sleep 😢
That was when I was on .5 mg and ran out.. I'm now up to 8mg.. please update me! 🙏 hope you're well
I'm in big trouble man it's the third day I been out completely,I been searching for baggies and stuff and I'm losing hope that I'll be able to do it ,I'm from Bay county FL boys and I'm 33 years old and I have only you guys for inspiration,idk what I'm gonna do you guys .I took it for four years to get off Roxy contin and I'm losing it ,I'm seeing things and I'm use to taking 8mgs a day to just nothing ,I couldn't afford my appointment and I want free of this ,I'm probably about to lose my job over this
@@gregorybeatyhey man you okay now?
That’s the best advice, working and staying active to keep your mind off of it. If you lay down in pain all day you’re gonna be fucked
That's the way I looked at it. If I was not doing anything, I was just thinking about it, and not being on it. But I kept as busy as possible, and within a couple weeks, you forget to even think about it.
Dude I woulda been scratch’n round for that 0.5 mg like a madman
I hear you, but in between my seat in console in my car is impossible to get into. So I just screw it, I'm going for it. Plus I would have to have dug through old French fries and other garbage haha
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it haha I hear ya! The “junkies” car floor. All sorts of shit makes it down there. How is your withdrawal going now? I swapped onto Buvidal injections once a month. It provides a smoother transition for coming off Suboxone. The way you describe the bupe withdrawal is very good. The withdrawals can be all consuming. I was stuck overseas once with a diminishing supply. It was the worst week I’ve ever had. I had to fly into San Francisco on my way home to go score off the street in The Tenderloin before facing the final 36 hour flight home with stop over.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3itjust curious, what were your personal reasons for deciding to get off of it?
I would have been late af to work with french fries in my hair The seats would have unbolted and if that didnt work? Id a called my ex that girl would have found it for sure iykyk lmao
@@Checkoutbetweenthesoulandeyethat seat would have been unbolted and thrown out in the yard in about 2 minutes
Glad you got off of it buddy. Currently tapering rn. Be safe.
Awesome! Congratulations on tapering, just keep on pushing through, and you'll get there! Keep me updated
Your my hero. I’m only on day 7 and there’s no way i could go to work
You can do it! I wish you the best. Keep in trucking!
I worked in the Louisiana summer heat while getting off in 2006.
Idk how I made it.
Congrats dude thanks for sharing. I'm on day 3 right now and took a week off work to get through hopefully the worst of it so it's good to hear from people who already did it
Keep at it! Physical might last about 2 weeks, but you'll be fine!
Thank you for this video!!! I have been on 8mg for 7 years and on 10/26 something in me couldn't take the high dose of subs anymore. Full blown anxiety, chills, idk what tf it was but it triggered something. I was also a 12 yr bulimic. That next day i dropped to 3mg, day 2 was the worst, sweating, cold, chills, but by day 7 i was feeling good. 2 weeks later i dropped to 2mg and then thanksgiving day (why i chose that day ill never know lmao) i went to 1.75 i was feeling amazing til day 4 (last sunday) and mannnnnn did shit creep up. A little anxiety, nothing i couldn't handle but the restless lefs at night is BRUTALLLLL. Feels like fucking bugs in my legs. Im taking otc restless legs meds and otc sleeping stuff but nothing works. Its wild between midnight and 7am my legs are wild but once 7am comes, they go away and im able to finally get sleep. The body is so odd lol im doing hot pilates and havent done my bulimia at all. Im eating super clean and drinking a ton of water, i even quit my daily coffee. I think id be way worse if i was throwing up, not eating right, and drinking caffeine all the time. Im soooo ready to get ME back. Thanks again and hope youre well!!
Awesome to hear! It gets waaay easier, but takes a few months to really feel any type of normalcy. Hang in there, and keep at it! It's so amazing to not be on that stuff, and to feel normal again!
The same thing happened to me after being on 16 mg for ten years. Just suddenly, one hour after taking my first 4 mg to start the day, the same dose I had taken every day for years just fine, I began feeling like garbage, and I had no idea what was causing this. This went on month after month for seven months, ruining every day, feeling this way all day, every day. Finally, after trying all kinds of other things, and blaming it on my other medications that I take, I decided if I am going to feel withdrawals, I might as well try reducing my buprenorphine dosage. I dropped down 2 mg and noticed that I didn't feel quite as bad. Then I did it again several weeks later, again feeling somewhat better again. I am now down to 1 mg daily and finally my withdrawals are gone. And still to this day neither my doctor nor I have any idea why after 10 years of taking this medication that I suddenly started going into withdrawals daily. Go figure.
Crazy part is we all went to subs because we was tired of oxy or whatever and then for it to get worst is a scary feeling because when you have it in your mind that your done but ya body is telling you something else YOU JUST DONT WANT TO FEEL SICK!!
Exactly!
If you was able to work while coming off those bro my hat is off to you bro.. Its a tough fight but one well worth fighting..i would stick a hot poker in my mouth before i would put myself through this mess EVER AGAIN!! its the hardest thing ive ever done n i think it takes months before you feel completely normal but not too long before you can function...
Oh yeah, it's definitely a couple months long process, then gets better and better after that. Congratulations, it's definitely a feat to get off of that stuff, I'm glad everything is going good!
I have to say it's so bad I loaded my 9mm. Trying to stay positive but if you've been there and on it for over 10 years it is awful. I'm safe right now
@@Steffy-u5b I know the feeling! hope it"s a lil better!
I just started tapering a week ago and last night I had the worst headache I've ever had in my life never had one like that I'm so glad you mentioned that cause I didn't know that that could be a side effect of withdrawal from Suboxone
Oh yeah, I definitely had headaches. That will go away pretty quickly though, should at least. It takes time to get off, but you'll get there! Just keep moving forward.
I entered the story with this opioid so naively, thinking that if I take no more than 2 mg, that I will not have a difficult withdrawal. For 7 years, I was delusional, thinking that there was nothing worse than heroin. Last year at this time, without any knowledge about this, I tried to get off that 2 mg and experienced hell. I was on 0.75mg for a year and before the last intake 0.5 for about 10 days. I'm entering day 9 and I can only say that it's hell in a nutshell.
I bet you're feeling a ton better now right?
@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it
Yes, you are right, a much better condition if we exclude the restless legs and the sleep that comes only in the morning hours. Two or three hours of interrupted sleep, but even that is a lot compared to the first two weeks. There is a strong will, and I think that is crucial.
Your absolutely right about that ...
If you do your dose in 48hr comparison, as opposed to 24 hrs, you get less withdrawal effects.
week 1. 0.5mg. 0.5mg
Week 2. 0.5mg .25mg.
Week 3. .25mg. .25mg.
Week 4. .25mg. 0mg
(Add day 4 ) Week 5. .25mg. 0mg. 0 mg. .25mg.
Week 6. .25mg. 0mg. 0mg. 0mg. .25mg
Week 7. .25mg. 0mg. 0mg. 0mg. 0mg. .25 mg.
Week 8. .25mg. 0mg. 0mg. 0mg. 0mg. 0mg. .25mg DONE!!!!!!
Im on day 10. Its been cold af. Fucking with me bad. But getting better everyday! After 4 years i was ready to move on. Hope everyone keeps on keeping on! One love!
Congratulations! Keep at it, you'll be feeling a lot better here soon! Keep me updated!
@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it Thanks for looking out and posting your journey 🙏 Starting to even out. Sleeping and eating better the last 3 days has made a big difference.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it feels crazy, but a month later I'm starting to get some sort of joy again. Could be the warm sunshine after working in -14 but life feels ok again. Thanks again man hope all is well with you!
Thank you for your testimony. I was on up to 16 mg. I am down to 6 mg daily. I am on my taper journey. I'm giving myself as long as I need to taper. I need to function and run two businesses while I do this. I need hope and encouragement and thank you SO much for your videos. Love and gratitude,
You'll be just fine! It's not a fun journey, but there's tougher things to go through in life, that's for sure. Once you get to the lower mgs it's a little tougher, but you can still function in your daily life. Go slow once you start feeling withdrawal when you decrease, then when you're ready, jump off, and fight through it. You'll get there I know it!
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it Thank you so much for your encouragement. These videos are SO important so folks like me and others know and understand.. this is possible. I WILL be chemical free.
1/8 of a milligram I jumped off without any prproblems except I struggled to sleep ever night
Sleep comes back!
I totally understand the blahhhs! Trying to live life instead of just excisting. Thank you for sharing your journey. You have a lot going for you, and doing that while coming off or being off something that sustains you, cant be easy.
It was a journey, it's a lot easier now!
I'll try not to think about while shitting and throwing up at the same time and this debilitating leg pain is all in my head i guess..glad you got through it but im really struggling
Keep at it man! You'll be through it before you know it. Can't speak for puking, but the shits will last a while. Not where you have to go instantly, but you'll have the runs for a good while probably. Keep going!
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it2 more days under my belt, still feel like I got hit by a truck but it is what is. If nothing changes,nothing changes..
Me too bro we have to pay the price to get my life back …be strong one day at the time …..
Same here; pls share how many days worse withdrawals happen as i broke on day 4. And on my second try …
i talked to a doctor about a 12 gram per day kratom dependency and he recommended subs
i told him that’s an overreaction and he told me i don’t know what i’m talking about
i tapered down the kratom on my own
I didn't sleep for 3 weeks after stopping. It took my about a solid year before i started to feel normal. Things begin to come into focus after about 6 months. Suboxone is no joke.
It is no joke. It definitely takes a lot of time to get back to normal. I would say the first 2-4 months were the worst for me, and yeah, 6 months is where it really starts to get better. Congratulations on getting off that stuff!
What dose did you stop at, and how long where you taking it? Did you taper down? How are you feeling now? Congratulations on quitting.
Im day 20 cold turkey was searching for old pill bottles trying to find something. Dont know weather to be sad or happy fml

Ryan you're almost through it, I wouldn't turn back now. Give it another week. You will get crazy emotions early and on like that, you're actually staring to feel again, but that will eventually go away after a couple of months. Go on walks and get some exercise, you will get natural highs from it, and it's great, and enjoy it while it lasts!
Keep me updated, and thanks for watching!
Remember, one day at a time, and one week at a time. You will gradually keep getting better!
Thanks man I appreciate the support. It's been a long road, but I'm done with opiates I'm gonna push through it. @@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it
I'm alright now I don't plan on relapsing I've had like a 13 year addiction
10 years starting with hydrocodone all the way up the ladder to heroin/dilaudid
then 3 or 4 years on subs its hard you have to legit want to be sober 100%
and I think I'm at that point 21 days now. Not gonna lie I feel way better than day 6-15 ish @@bradleyozbun1012

Thank you sir, it's definitely a hard road, but well worth it! Thanks for watching!
New subscriber ur greatly appreciated 🙏🏾
Thank you! You're greatly appreciated too!
I started taking it twice a day and I start feeling withdrawal after 12 hours or less. It always starts with a runny nose for me, its like a running faucet.
Yep! Runny nose and sneezing!
I've been taking it for 5 years and lemme tell you. I start going through withdrawals only 4-6 hours after taking a piece of my strip. I'm currently taking 1mg worth. And for some reason, the longer I've been on this medicine, the more I hurt and feel like total crap. Idk why though?? How are you doing btw?
There is no way to measure accuratley anything below 2 mgs
The strips are fairly accurate, the pills not so much
You can get really low with 2mg strips. Or use volumetric dosing with pills.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it I got the pills
Im 52, health issues galore, and am jumping off soon. Im too old for this crap.
I went from a strip a day to an 8th and smaller and l am dealing with minor withdrawal symptoms.
Ive kicked opiates once before and cant believe Im here again.
Im in Subs due ti getting off a yesr long rx of Tramadol.
I had no idea withdrawals came with that.
You'll do great getting off of them, it's just a matter of doing it, and dealing some discomfort, and the mental aspect. Main thing is to just keep pushing through it all. I wish you the best of luck!
*Symptoms are the worst in the first 72 hours of Suboxone withdrawal. This is when most physical symptoms are experienced*
I would agree with that!
Happy for you man. I keep trying and trying and the most I’ve gone is 3 days. I’ve only been on for a year and a half but I’m always craving it. I guess I have to taper instead of trying cold turkey
I would definitely taper if I were you, depending on how much you take anyway. Physical withdrawals only last for 2 weeks about, so if you can make it that long, you're good!
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it thank you my friend. You really give me hope. I’m definitely going to give it a shot. Can I ask, what is the most you were dosing a day? I’m on a film a day
Oh no the bottomless pit, i have dropped many of things down it, including my daily dose. I understand!
🤣 it's the worst place!
Your 💯 that jumping off is more mental that physical especially after the first week
Absolutely!
Do anybody have a fix for the restless arm and leg situation at night?
I know some people take stuff for RLS, but I don't remember what it is
Get up and move. That’s the only thing that’s ever worked for me. I heard a lot of people say it. An I tried to take all the supplements and bs. None of it worked. Then I said f it. I got up and walked and it wouldn’t take it away but it would cut it to 50% to minimal.
You know, when doctors wean you they will give you different doses for different days. Like you take one every other day, a larger dose, but you skip days. I've ran out for a day one time. I was fine.
I've heard of people weaning off that way, whatever works!
Kratom worked for my brother. The internet puts out a lot of lies to keep people from getting well.
Whatever works!
Kratom was my gateway drug. Sooner than later I was popping Oxy on top.
Hi there, I hope you see this message. I've been on Suboxone almost 15 years. My daily dose was 16mg and for the past 1.5 years I've been on Buvidal. I tapered from 128mg to 64mg, unfortunately was unable to taper more. Lost my job last month and quit cold turkey. Goes without saying that it has been hell and there's still week until it's fully out of my system. I hope to feel better in 4-6 months, is this realistic expectation? I'm really worried that I have permanent brain damage and I will fall into depression. Only my partner knows what I'm going through so some experiences and communicating with people who have went through this would be much appreciated.💗🙏🏻
I honestly don't know much about buvidal, but I know it's similar to Suboxone in the way it works.
I definitely don't think it's going to take 4-6 months to feel better though, and you definitely don't have brain damage!
I would imagine you will start feeling better mentally this next month if I had to guess. Might take longer to be back to completely normal, but it will get a lot easier.
Keep going, and you will feel better soon enough! Keep me updated
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it Thank you so much for your message which brought me in tears💗 I know that I should've tapered down but I was so frustrated when I couldn't get from 64mg to 32mg that I decided to go cold turkey. Buvidal has a half life of 19-25 days and next week should be out of my system. This week I haven't had the chills anymore. I truly hope that I will be able to feel pleasure when this is over and get my energy levels up. On Monday I was at the beach and got this weird thing happening to me where I felt that everything goes backwards for a short moment and today I has massive social anxiety, almost a panic attack (diagnosed anxiety and panic disorders). My doctor cut my Valium in half 2 weeks ago as well, on top of everything else I quit nicotine so it's proper roller coaster but I'm a fighter and didn't start this fight to lose. Thank you again, bless you and I'm so happy for you😊 Will send some updates.
Can't believe you had bad withdrawal,I jumped off 96 mg and it was a breeze.33:wks off it's definitely all out your system at 125 days if you metabolize slow
@@JasonBrown-dd7dj Hi Jason! It was around 6 weeks of torture but I did it. These things are very individual I believe. I'm really happy that it was easy for you, congratulations for getting rid of that Big Pharma scam😊 I'm now trying to jump off benzos and I hurt my neck really bad and was hospitalized for a week. Now I'm slowly starting also that recovery. Blaming myself so much for everything. Hope that you're better and all the best 💗😊🙏🏻
I broke on day 4; i couldnt take cold sweating and chills & hives anymore. All my towels in the house 20+ were used up on that day and i was jumping into hot bath 3 times in each hour …. I took 1/ 8 or so cut of the daily slip and back to normal …. Now, next day, symptoms crawling back on me but now i have Clonidine prescription ( begged the doctor for it ) so my second try begins …
Btw ( was doing nalbuphine shots for a year prior and boy what a mistake it was to not finish that instead of jumping to suboxone ) …
Awesome! Just keep at it, and push through it, and remember that stuff WILL end in about 7-10 days, could even be quicker than that. Once you get through the physical stuff, it's a long haul to get back to completely normal, but it gets better week by week. Within a couple months you'll be feeling pretty darn good. Keep my updated, and just keep at it, and keep your mind busy. Walks help a TON, or any kind of exercise.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it thx bro ! Yea i wish to get those energy levels back … never felt so weak in my life and i swim & work out regularly…
Btw, saw another vid that gabapentin helps alot so will mix both …
Day 8 🤦♂️…. Still going … crazy chills yhen sweats but much more energy and no more rls … i instacart those little ginger; detox & energy shots ( they help tremendously )….
I take 8 mg a day sometimes 16 mg pending on how I’m feeling. I get the worst back pain when trying to not take it. Add in the fact I’m in a life or death war with a family Narcissist sometimes I just want to nod out forever.
Narcissists are one of the worst things to deal with. I had an ex girlfriend that was insane out of her skull, she was narcissistic, but I would say she suffers more from psychopathy. Getting away from those people is the healthiest thing you could do for yourself at this time, even if they are family.
Whenever I reduced my dose, my body got used to it in 3 to 5 days. It's not bad.
What part of Pennsylvania are you from ? Accent, got a bunch of fam in pa
South western PA!
Also for me personally the 4th and 5th day the insomnia goes from 2 to 10!
Day 4 my sleep started being super disrupted.
I'm day 8 of 1.75 down from 7 years of 8mg..and I realllllly felt is on day 4..the Restless legs at night are the only real symptom I have. Other than that I haven't felt this good in yearssssss. Scared to down down more but I have to..I'm excited for this new me. slowly everything is coming back to normal
I have a very important question. I’m on the road to getting off. I’m very low finally , but in the morning my chest feels heavy like I went swimming all night long. Did you experience anything like this. Freaking me out. I take my .25 at 4 in morning. It’s the best time for me. Don’t want my body to go into shock but that’s how I feel. I’m not having the normal withdrawals which is amazing and lucky but this chest thing and panic thing is tough.
You might be feeling heavy in the chest from anxiety and panicking. I never had that particular symptom though. You are probably fine, but if you feels it's something more, see your doctor immediately.
Otherwise keep pushing through! It's not a fun road, and a scary one as well, but you WILL make it through! Keep me updated!
Especially with tablets
I'm currently on it.
Been on it for 60 days .
You think i should start cutting back not.
A few times a week i skip taking it and feel fine for a bit but i start gett aggregate.
Even when I'm on it i feel somewhat drained at times .
I bet it an after effect from cutting off for a day or so .
Even through a doc. Prescribed it
Hell that is what got me started it this mess 20 yrs. Ago. So I'm always suspicious of dr. And meds like this stuff now.
It's up to you if you should cut back or not, if you really want to, then you should, but if you're doing good, and are fine with how things are going I wouldn't. I was on it for 13 years, it definitely helped me, but I'm ultimately happy with my decision to get off of it, and being clean.
Took me an entire month to go thru all the withdrawals. Not gonna lie i used Adderall to get thru the work day because i was a slug until i used it. Once i got my energy back i dropped the addys too. Im in Minneapolis too and the winters here are cold and i still dont know why i chose to do it in the middle of winter! I kept turning the heat up at work and damn near fighting coworkers because i had the heat so high!😂😂😂😂 Good video dude, congrats!
Oh man, I bet Minnesota has cold winters! Yeah winter is probably the worst time to do haha, spring or summer would be the best time I would think. Glad you got through it though, I was a slug too for a good month or two. Congrats on getting off of it, and thanks for watching!
How long were you on it and what mg? Im freaking out I've been on it for 1 month and a couple weeks. Was at 8 mgs now taking only 4 a day. But mentally i don't even want to be on it. I can take some pain from my experience with past withdrawal but i figure if i cut down now and quit il be better off than 6 months later.
If you think you can stay clean without it, then by all means taper off. But I wouldn't rush it if you think you could possibly relapse. I was on it for 13 years, started at 8mg tapered down to 2mg and stayed there probably 10 years. I tapered off of 2mgs in less than 2 months. It can definitely help you get your life in order, so it's your call.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it oh yeah ive been on maintenance in the past, had 3 years clean without suboxone before, this time it's more withdrawal trauma that is eating me more than the core issue that I've already came to terms with :/
I would stop while you can, the sooner the easier.
Guaranteed caffeine withdrawals made it worse.
Oh absolutely did
Kratom helped me get of subs with no withdrawal. I was on 24mgs day
I'm happy that helped you get off!
@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it Thanks man.
Did you get off the kratom? How much subs were you on and how much kratom did you take and for how long? Congratulations on getting off of the subs!
Heroin did it for me 😂.. Just joking, quit Kratom or you just switched one thing for another.
Don't do kratom unless you're sure you're going to get off it. It's stronger shit than you think.
Dude I would have turned right the fuck around and called off work lol
😂 it was definitely a rough day that day
Take sublocade almost 0 withdrawal
If you can afford it
That's what I've heard! But it does cost money.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it most insurance covers it now
Do you think it would be safe to take over the counter sleep aid?
I would consult a doctor! But I don't see why not.
Clonidine is stated to take up to 60% off of withdrawal symptoms away. I just picked it up from the pharmacy, will let you know how it goes. Day quil & night quil didnt do anything for me …
@@OGmediahubcan I ask if it actually helped?
@@Jen-le3ui 80% of symptoms were gone but expect to be super drowsy & weak.
Not to get personal but did you get any emotions back or you libido back when you were at 2mg? I'm not ready to quit but feel 16mg is too much for me as my libido is nonexistent and so are my emotions.
Emotions started coming back after I started tapering down from 2mg. I went from 2 to 1 and got crazy emotional. After I was completely off, even more so.
My libido is much much higher now, it took some time to build up a tolerance again though.
Being off for 232 days, my emotions are pretty much dead again. Hoping they come back after a year or so, although, I'm much more stable mentally now.
I was at 8mg for 7 years and literally never wanted anything sexual. I'm down to 1.75 and my libido is coming back in full swing. I have some withdrawal symptoms but nothing I can't handle. You're taking way too much, your brain receptors are almost complete clogged. Get down to 4mg and you'll feel alot better
16 mg is too much and your doctor should know better.
@@dwb131313 fun fact. everyone has a different body. what works for one won't work for the next. I'm WAY off label for severe fentanyl addicts even though i never needed anything stronger than vicodin, now i'm on 300mg sublocade every 2 weeks. it is brutal as fuck and the only thing keeping me off heroin for this extreme pain I'm in thanks to 20 years of malpractice from my former "doctor" ignoring a severe arthritic neck impinging on my spinal cord. but there's literally nothing else they can do at this stage, it's pretty much confirmed that i'm a rapid metabolizer and I've got at least 2 years until I can even see the surgeon
@@dwb131313not if they were coming off fent or H
Don’t feel withdrawal until four days………who the fuck
I felt it the same day I quit!
Ketamine for
Withdrawal
Whatever works, but I don't think more drugs to get off drugs is the right way.
How long have you been off it now
At the time of this comment, 232 days.
Why does everyone who does these videos do them out in the middle of the woods?
lol just something i noticed.
Good place to get some peace and quiet, plus we're supposed to be in nature!
5 days off suboxone now dts hitting me hard what do I do
Congratulations on the five days! Just keep dealing with it honestly. It's not going to last much longer.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it thank you. My anxiety and mood swings are so bad. I thought I was a strong woman till this. The Dr. Put me on pain pills for my back and I told him I wanted to stop taking them. So he put me on suboxone this was 10 years ago. Call me naive but I had NO idea how hard it would be to get off of. Anyone that's been through it congratulations it is hard. I'm still staying strong. Thank you so much. We should all encourage one another. Life is hard enough without this crap. Love and prayers for ya'll. Stick together, stay strong and lots of prayers for all of us.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it had to go to er Friday and had to take it thought I was gonna die. Found a doc willing to help me get off of it slower. Was told I tapered down too fast. We shall see.
@@Steffy-u5bHi congratulations on your 5days this will be my 2nd week going cold turkey off subs. Yes it's hell but the 1st week is the hardest , I literally wanted to die. Just think about it like this you already going on a week and you didn't put yourself through this pain just to go back again. It gets easier the second week. All the physical symptoms like hot flashes, restless legs, diarrhea, irritability goes away. Now you'll just be dealing with insomnia and a little depression then your 3rd week you'll be feeling like a new person. Don't go back.
I bet you only have to work 8 hours dont ya?
I worked 10 hour days there, 9½ hours on my feet.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3itdude if that's true your a trooper man I could barely get out of bed for 15 days
I still have a 4mg. that fell between the console and driver's seat 🤣
When stuff goes in between the console and the drivers seat, especially something as small as a piece of Suboxone, it's as good as gone 😂
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it I've been off junk for awhile now💪 and never once thought of trying to pull my drivers seat out 🤣I wanted to get clean so bad💪 and glad I never looked back👉💪✌️😁
I'm snorting this shit
I snorted that shit for years, even the strips, melted it in a drop of water and snorted that. Until I got a horrible sinus infection.
We all do...
sounds like your full of it like your making up being on box cause nothin your saying happens
I wish I made it up, and didn't waste 13 years of my life on it.
Hey brother im on .5 been off 60 hours any advice?
Just keep pushing Travis! All you gotta do is hang in there for a little over a week, and you'll feel a ton better. Keep your mind occupied, and try not think about it. Take walks if you can, or do some exercises, doesn't have to be anything crazy.
Keep your mind off the fact you're not taking it anymore, or how you're feeling. Hang in there my man, physical only last 9-12 days, mental takes a little longer. You got this!!!
Keep me posted!
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it hey brotha. Thanks for reaching back out! Great video.. and will do. I just had surgery so yesterday I did have narcos during surgery. But no perscription narco, last dose was monday around 5 am in the morning. (Sure you can relate, you seem like a working man)
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it but ill keep you posted. A lil achy so far and im sure tonights sleep will be rough. But its more mental than anything! Thanks dude!!
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it hey man... still going strong. Honestly my symtoms have stayed the same?? Day 4 now...
How long until you had a relatively restful night sleep?
About a month and half I started sleeping a lot better. Then after that, maybe just a night or two a week I didn't sleep very well.
I never had full on insomnia, I was just like half asleep, with crazy dreams.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it 🙏 thanks for the reply - your videos do so much good for so many people!
Use Gabapentin to sleep. It helped me so much
@@Josh-rn1em I just got a Gabapentin script from my doctor- I didn’t tell him the real reason for my RLS (sub withdrawal) I’m not sure his dosage recommendation would work….how many milligrams worked for you and at what time did u take it? Thanks 🙏
@@Owyourhurtingme the first time I took it I took 600mg and it made me sleep after a week of insomnia only getting an hour here and there. It helped my brain relax
