How are you doing now? Hope still doing well. Went through 7 days off buprenorphine from 20mg a day to nothing. Been on it for over a decade. Those days were horrible. Day six started to get better. Got back on it. Going to try and taper it down and hopefully get off in the future now that I know it could be done.
@@zachb1494Hi Zach, it's rare to find people who have been on Buprenorphine over a decade like us. How was your detox? I quit cold turkey from 64mg Buvidal and it's week 6 and really sick but not as sick than the first weeks. I hope you're well.💗
Thank you for sharing your experience. You have no idea how encouraging it is to hear someone who made it through to the other side. Gives me hope.! Thank you.🙏🏼
Was on methadone for 15 years got off it 6 months ago it was rough but you start to feel human again ,I didn't taper due to Drs telling me I shouldn't stop taking it so did it solo,don't recommend this as I'm only feeling ok last few weeks ,stay strong your videos help people society shuns
Man that had to have been rough, hopefully you start feeling a lot better, in the coming months! Thanks for sharing your story, keep me updated on how you're doing!
I know your pain I was on methadone for 17 years for chronic pain syndrome and my doctors wanted to switch me over to Suboxone. I said absolutely not so I slowly tapered myself down took me about six months to do. It dropped off at 2.5 mg had very minimal withdrawal after day 14. I started to feel a little bit better right now I am on day 18 and so far the only side effect I have now is excessive sneezing and I’m getting between 4 to 6 hours a night of sleep. I would much rather deal with that then having severe withdrawal so I highly recommend tapering it really does help. It just takes a long time to do it.
Was on methadone 85mgs majority of the time outta the 13 years I was on detoxed for about 9 months it was rough but I finally got off in May 2021. I was clean for about 2 years until I took a piece of a subutex Aug 11th 2023. I really messed up and I am once again going thru withdrawal I know I can do it again problem is I never really experienced happiness when I got off methadone It took me months to feel somewhat normal. If u want off something u definitely can do it I had a moment where I thought it would be fine just to take 1 subutex well that pill lasted 8 days then on 2 the next pill lasted me 5 days and when I stopped taking the subs it felt like I started over from the beginning I was kinda shocked because I wasn't using much this subutex shit is very addictive. I will detox but it's rough just thought I'd share wish everyone the best in there recovery.
Thank you for sharing your real life experience! I’m just about to have to go “cold turkey.” My connection is no longer available……. So I’m forced into this……. I wanted to taper off but…… it is what it is. I was an opiate addict for 15+yrs and then on suboxone for the last 5yrs. I’m really scared and worried, but deep down I know that this is what I want and it’s been a long time coming. Again, thank you for sharing! It shows me that it is possible and that I am far from the last person to be in this situation……. Take care and have a blessed day! Wish me luck
Being worried and anxious about having to get off, is THE worst part about the whole thing, and the biggest hurdle. Once you're off, just know, it's not going to last forever, and you will be feeling better soon, just stick it out until you do. It's crazy the things you can do, especially when in a situation you're forced to do something. Just keep your mind on track, and busy. Don't think, or overthink the situation and how you feel, and you'll be through to the other side before you know it. GOOD LUCK, and keep me updated. Take care!
@@tcreative8030 thank you……. I SERIOUSLY APPRECIATE THE KIND WORDS!! I definitely need to hear positive things, cause my body is screaming negativity at me!!
@@backbudbonsai Try and remember this (it seriously helped me)..your body is incredible and it's getting rid of this poison that you don't need anymore. Be good to yourself in all ways. Say affirmative things, get outside, drink lots of water, and know that you're worth a fully realized life without this crutch. Keep going!!! xoxoxox
Day 6. Sub addict (illicit) for 8 years. tapered to 1mg for a month and jumped. I feel ok... RLS has been, by far, the worst. The horror stories kept me from going for it for sooo many years. I wish others would stop scaring people.
Awesome! Yeah it's really not that bad, I don't know why people have to scare people like they do. It's different for everyone but totally doable. Probably another 6 days and you'll probably physically be a lot better. Good luck!
Definitely everyone is different. I got RLS for about 3 weeks and the most I slept during that time was an interrupted 1.5 hours. The brain can’t function with that little sleep for a prolonged time. I was losing my mind and somewhat delirious. I don’t think people are trying to scare others. It’s probably a reality that they lived.
Your a good person man for trying to spread your experience to help people. Im down to 1 mg and only thing that bothers me is anxiety really. I still go to work but im jumping this weekend from 1 mg to none. Im done man i just want to feel myself again and be my normal personality. Im taking some Friday and hope the worst is over the weekend so i can continue work Monday. I just started the best job of my life and don't want to lose it. Do you think ill be feeling any better by Monday
The anxiety is definitely the worst part about the whole ordeal, mostly when tapering. You can probably make it to work on Monday, but you're going to have mild flu like symptoms for a couple weeks, and a tired feeling for a month or two. It's different for everyone, you'll just have to try it out and see how you feel. I would definitely make the jump though if you want off of that stuff. I'm sure you'll be able to tough it out at work. I wish you the best of luck, and keep me updated!
I went from 12 mg down to 8. I am about to make another jump to 4 mg. And then I will go to 2 mg. I really appreciate this content because I really look up to you for what you’ve done.
You got this! A lot of it is mental, but if you just keep pushing through it, any discomfort gets easier to deal with! Thanks for watching, and keep me updated!
I am not new to suboxone or taper but one thing I recently re-learned and applies to your particular taper schedule I want to give you heads up on is this- apparently you can half your dose as such all the way until the last 2mg or 1mg BUT at that point, go much slower , such as only decrease by .25 at a time , for a longer period . The dr that explains this taper reason is Dr. b or at least who I heard recently from - said many make a mistake jumping off the last so fast and underestimating some things - it makes sense with my experience of tapering 2 times to 10 months
Thank you for sharing your experience!!! I started at 16mg to get off dope... Like yourself, I cut down to 2mg fairly easily... The thought of coming completely off makes me nervous/anxious... I've been on them for over 3yrs!!! But I'm truly ready to get off completely!!! Thanks again for the inspiration, brother!!!
Honestly, that's the biggest hurdle, combating the anxiety, and nervousness of coming off. You just feel a little tired and a little achy while tapering for the most part. Just have to keep yourself busy, and not think about it. Just go about it like any other day. Taper the amount and length you feel comfortable, but the bigger drops you make, and the quicker you do it, will get you feeling better sooner! It's amazing how good you feel once you're off completely and give it a couple months. Well worth it!
Nice work getting to where you are. I've been on Suboxone for 16 years. For the last 10 years I've taken .25 mg (an eighth of one 2mg film). My doc and I have discussed getting off completely and together we decided there's no point. My life is fine, the expense is next to nothing so why? That's my story, I know not yours. Do what works for you but everyone doesn't have to get off it.
I tried taking the Sub route but for whatever reason, they did not work from me. I used Kratom which I will have to admit, I still use. It definitely helps me A TON! I now have a great life(in my eyes at least). I have a good job, health and wellness is a big part of my life, I have a wonderful lady with a nice home for us. Just living life and enjoying it man. Much better than the life before thats for dam sure!
Been on methadone and suboxone for the last 13 years I've been clean for 14 days, been 14 days of hell but I will get out of the devils grip and get off th Is shit. Lord help me, and everyone strong enough to get away from it. I'm Jesus name I pray.
You will get through it very soon! Give it two more weeks, and you will feel a ton better! Keep pushing, and just know you'll get better day by day! Good luck, and keep me posted!
Not gonna lie, these last 3 days have been absolutely fn knarly, I can't help but thinking jumping off a bridge at this point. I'm not gonna do it though there are many here in Florida, my god it's fn awful. My advice is if anyone is trying to get off of pills or H get off that, don't create another brain F resepter problem. I'm thankful for a wonderful family a loving lord. Please people don't take the suboxone route unless it's short lived. God bless all you good people reading this.
Im on 0.125mg right now for 3 more days, then going down to 0.0625 for 6 days and then jumping. I can't wait for this taper withdrawal to finally be over.
You could honestly just jump right now, and it wouldn't be too bad, but .0625 would be better. You'll be off soon enough! Good luck and keep me updated!
Hardest fight of my life Just crashed again and back to 2ml But will get there in the end And respect to you and anyone's win against this evil drug GODBLESS 🍀
You will get there! Just keep battling, and keep your will power high, and just know it gets better. Keep yourself and your mind occupied! Keep me updated!
i switched from methodone to subs, they started tapering me so id be off subs in a year aganst my will right off the bat and were going to stop at 2mg, last 2mg i went to different clinic and got back on methadone, was on it for 14 years and a peak of 188mg, I tapered over a 4 year period and jumped at 5mg as i couldnt take the feelngs no more and felt stuck, I was surprised that my wd were very managable and was able to function through the day "well muttle through" im at around day 70 since last dose and just cant shake this lingering paws, the only symptoms are waves where some times a feel ok then others i get hit with mild fatigue/brain fog/adrenaline feelings like roller coaster in my stomach and this intensity almost burning in my chest "the feeling you get when you begin to withdrawal after missed dose" i cant explain the last symptom very well but im sure you know the feeling. i do automotive car builds as a hobby and make so many mistakes and feel stupid.
I totally understand the brain fog aspect, I'm almost off a year, here in March, and still get that brain fog feeling. That's basically the only thing that I still feel from that, and wonder if that'll always be there, or if that just actually how I truly am. Sometimes at work I'm trying to think of something and just completely blank out on it and feel like a dumbass. I hope that eventually goes away. I really hope things work out for you, and get better, and your symptoms go away soon. They really should.
I would use some sick days. Definitely not go to work like that. Everybody would ask you what’s wrong. I wouldn’t share what’s goin on with co workers.
You should really tell a boss or coworker what you're going through, and tough it out at work, depending on your job and relationship with boss that is. Sometimes all you need is to just relax for a minute before you can get back up and start working again.
If you taper down, and then before the withdrawals hit, take 10mg Methadone, you’ll barely feel any withdrawal. It makes it much easier at least, and the Methadone has a really gradual let-off.
Just went from 8 mg to zero. On day 7 now. I don't even know how many times I roll over on my mattress all night but for me the sneezing constantly and the sweating is the worst part.
You should start feeling better within a week now! Sleep may vary, but will gradually get better. Yes, the sneezing is terrible, that will kind of go away, but will always kind of stay (not as much as now) I'm over a year off, and still sneeze more than I used to
Good luck man you can do it! It shouldn't be all that bad jumping off that low of dose. But if you feel withdrawal, just remember, in 2 weeks time you will feel A LOT better. Let me know how it works out!
@@D..S.. first 4 or 5 days sucked. After that just didn’t have energy. Been 3 weeks and 2 days. I barely started having regular bowel movements today. Power threw homie. Take a week off work. Don’t take any PM medication as they make RLS all bad. Fortunately I had some gabapentin and clonodine to help sleep the first 2 weeks. Cravings come and go. I feel great tho, I ain’t looking back man. Force yourself to excercise even just a walk.
I feel like it's important to keep working! I had the opposite, I couldn't keep warm, and was the dead of winter. Keeping warm at work was one of the hardest parts for me.
You must be young. I did it in my 30s, working outdoors in Louisiana heat. I'm now 52. I have to quit work because there's no way I can work and get off of sub.
I tried getting off 2mgs 3 years ago it was horrible but this time i got to .25 and its been way better i just get really out of breath cant go running or anything im on day 10 of my detox i hope i can go running soon don't want to get unfit
Awesome congratulations on day 10! Well 11 now. It's going to start to get a lot better from here on out. It may take a month or so to fully feel physically better, but it's coming! Stay strong and keep at it, and keep me updated!
Its been well over a month now i feel better but my cravings are so bad last week for 4 days I couldn’t get my mind off it i have lost all my motivation for running cant even do it and i have little to no energy will this stop or will i be like this for a few months? @@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it
a slow taper is key. .5 mg is still kinda high, IMO. I also recommend stabilizing at the new dose for at least a month before dropping the dose again. even when i got to .125, i was dosing every other day, then every 3rd day, for over a month. after my last-ever dose, My doc Rx’d a few days of a very low dose of valium because I was petrified of not being able to sleep. Interestingly, i was so exhausted from living life, i slept like a rock.
That's awesome! Especially that you were able to sleep good. Yeah I would definitely recommend a slower taper, I just kind of went for it, I'm sure the slower the better.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it we all get there however we get there ❤️ i also want to add that suboxone (and i was on 12 mg for close to 5 years) saved my life. There is no shame in being on if. People shouldn’t be shamed into going off of it until they are ready, considering the alternative. It gave me time to get my personal and professional life in order, as well as my finances.
@@_Roasted_Marshmallow they actually make a 4 mg and 2 mg strip that is LARGER than the most commonly Rx’d 8 mg strip. So. It’s easier to slice/cut. I used razors from box cutters
If I could give you any advice to get off, it would be just slowly taper off. Being at 8mg you could probably make pretty decent tapers. Try going to 6mg and see how you feel, maybe stay on that for a month or two, then go down to 4mg, do the same thing. Usually once people get to 2mg it starts getting a little tougher, and need to taper a little more slowly and smaller dose cuts. You can do it!
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it thank you, I came off methadone in late 90s early 2000s pretty easy but I've been on it sooo long it's hard. Thinking about trying the shot to get off it, thanks for the advice
I went from heavy heroin use to 2mg subs, they had to bump me up to 2 ¹/² tabs of 8mg subs and i still was basically useless for months. Withdrawal is completely gone now with 2 ¹/² tabs a day. But my depression is back 7 fold, and i dont sleep for 3 to 4 days sometimes and sleep can last for 30 minutes to 6 or 7 hours. Never restful sleep. Thoughts of suicide have come back. No feeling of purpose, and many days are accompanied by a lack of a will to live. My appetite has completely gone. I wiegh less now than i ever did on heroin of pain meds. And my childhood depression symptoms and suicidal thoughts were the whole reason I started self medication with heroin. I went from quiet, depressed, and lonely to energetic, happy, and outspoken enough to lead more of a life than i ever had before. I was even holding down multiple jobs on heroin. Stopped using and now I'm a worthless 27yo child living with my parents, no job, no truck, no friends, no money. Thats my personal experience
No one is worthless, or beyond help or repair. I know sometimes it's hard to see your worth in this day and age, and in certain circumstances, and sometimes we beat up on ourselves for our situations, but never worthless. I lived with my parents until I was 29, there's nothing wrong with that. With the price of things these days, it's almost impossible to live on your own without the help of someone else. You will get there, just have to give yourself time. Try working on things just a little at a time, start working on small things, and before you know it, you'll be further ahead than you realize, no matter how hard it is. Do things for yourself, and take care of yourself, do things that make you feel good, even pick up a hobby. Hobbies are great for for feelings of depression or suicidal thoughts, and gives you a sense of self. There's always time to change your situation, and things are never hopeless. Believe me, I've been in a similar boat before, if I can do it, you can too. Just take life head on, and power through it, even if it's just a little at a time, any progress, is progress. Things will get better. Keep me updated, thanks for watching and commenting!
Hang in thier it gets better find your hope. Just don't go back to H I was on Fent for 4 years I'm 60 days sober I feel the same things but remember it was the H that made us feel worser what we feel now never go back
You can't solve all your problems at once, friend. The ONLY thing you can do right now is lean into the shit and the void and fight for your freedom. You are Totally worth it. You can't be the person you want to be for your family and friends with this noose around your neck. You can Do this!!!
I know exactly what you’re talking about. I started at 24mg a day. I’m down to 6 now. Working on slowly coming off. Now, about the thoughts and depression. Start setting goals. Even small ones. Mine were things I needed to get my life in order from basically being an addict from teenage years until in my 30’s, so there was plenty to clean up. Take it one thing at a time. Believe it or not, each accomplishment no matter how small, will slowly but noticeably change your outlook on life. Plus you’re making your life better for when you’re off completely. Even non addicts need to set goals and work towards them for a sense of purpose. If you’re like me, you’ll have to literally force yourself. I used to not even be able to make phone calls, much less actually interact with people. But now I’ve cleaned up so much damage, including getting my record expunged and I feel so much better about my life and my place being alive. You have nothing to lose, so go for it! Good luck!🍀
Sometimes I think most of this PAWS good day bad day Is just normal cycles of life. Even a few good days will cause your brain to rebound and want to create homeostasis. I think addicts are numbed and forget those bad days
Yet you worked every day. You're a bad arse warrior if I've known one. What mil were you on when you jumped? I'm down to .5 a day,tomorrow is my last dose, then nothing. Have a farm in the UK, so can't take time off either. How'd you do it??
170 days, almost at 6 months. Its cyclical, so right now im okay. All last week was terrible. Its anxiety and sweating, diarrhea, stomach bloated, and depression. PAWS sucks.
9 Weeks here. Jumped from 16 to zero. Its getting better now. Dont know, why it was that easy this time. Or, I know. But I wont share rhe medikation, that shaved of like 90 percent of the withdrawel. But it heiped. PAWS are going up and down now, but it gets better. Sleeping is a big isssue. Not more like 2, or three hours a day. Freezing was the worst for me too. And anhedonia, depression. I was very insecure among other individuals. But its getting better. Methadone was much, much worse. Tokk me almost 8 months to even consider getting out of bed. My PAWS come in waves, thats weird. Totally fine, one day, and getting diarrhea out of nowhere after 7 weeks.
Awesome! That's insane you went from 16 to zero, major congratulations. Yeah paws is weird for sure. I'm almost at a year off, and I still get weird feelings sometimes, hardly ever though. Keep pushing, you'll be feeling very good within a month or two!!
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it Thank you. You know, my next thing was Benzos. Off them now. Five years on. Id rather do three opiate Detox in a row than this. But I push hrough. My skin flakes, my body stinks, I am lazy, holy sh....You see, I bought that Buprenorphine in a black market situation, along with crack and Benzos and Pregabalin. Almost 1200 Euro monthly. Had to drive five hours to, and back from the dealer. But, the last times he wasnt even there, sold out, or left me with five pills, only for me do do it all over again on three days later. I had enough. I was so pissed. I quit cold turkey, then the prega, then the benzos, which I tappered. I just dont know, where my Paws actually originate from by now. I said it, sleep is the biggest issue, the ringing in my ears is another. But going cold, from Bup. wasnt that bad, you'll have withdrawel , no matter what you do, taper or not. It just prolongs the situation and I did it so often, know what to expect. An old warrior, you could say. That one does not frighten me. Benzos do, in fact.
I forget what miligram it was i took that one time i was pukeing all over the place the next day i was still alittle messed up and went threw periods takeing perc tens roxcy 30 and so fourth but that soboxine put something on my ass but that was then now i dont shit sometimes it good sometimes it sucks
@@D..S.. yeah man that is definitely the way to go. If you do it slow enough you won't even feel the drops. Maybe you might feel like a tad off for like a day and that's about it. I would only do quarter mg drops. And then once I hit one milligram I only did .125 mg drops. It's so doable with the strips
@@D..S.. .25 mg. It was very mild if any physical withdrawals accept being a little tired. I had no RLS and I slept every night through the detox. Although I did have trazodone and I was taking 150 mg every night. I was able to start going to the gym I'm day like 5 or 6 I think, maybe even sooner than that. Although you won't feel a strong in the gym for a bit. If you can get the quarter mg and hang on at that dose for a month or two and then stop. You'll be golden
I’m talking about methadone. I was on suboxone first. But I kept going back to heroin after 3 stints. So 6 years ago I went to the methadone program: the good news is that I haven’t done heroIn in over a year. But the bad news is that I’m still on methadone. And I’m not even close to stopping cuz i take 170mg a day. It more addictive than anything. It makes your bones brittle and if I miss a dose I feel like I’m gonna implode: basically this is what the govt wants. They make a ton of money from each patient. We’re nothing more than lab rats. They don’t wanT us to stop using meth. That’s why it’s extremely hard to get off of it
The best way is to go from methadone to suboxone. Methadone is a 17 day kick of intense pain and madness, suboxone is much easier. It's the way. Methadone is near impossible to detox on. Sleep won't come for 7 or 8 days then maybe 3 hrs a night it's what causes the insanity
Jesus help me please make it just stop is what! This is totally torture and cruel af . Omg I went from 15 yrs 3 8mg then 12mg and stayed 5 yrs but he said my yearly ekg is 158bpm and tried cold turkey my ass until the nurse prat. Said DR YOU CAN NOT COLD TURKEY HER! thank God for her . But now it's like 3 weeks in at 1.5 whatever that means ? A HALF OR WHAT ? so I've just been taking a crumb of a quarter and spit it out instead of swallow the melted shit. And I'm fuckin dying dude wtf and I'm highly sensitive on all sense. My mind is fuckin with me and I'm not medicated for my anxiety disorder nor bipolar 1 , ptsd , and ocd. Good thing I'm not or I'd be triple effed . Done that before so fuk no . This is by far the worst thing I've ever felt. Atleast I still feel... it means I'm still alive.
Isnt it awesome knowing the feeling you never have to contact that shady thug for suboxone anymore!! Years ago before I started going to a doctor I was also going through a shady thug. Well it was expected he definitely ripped me off, I gave him $170 and he went into the CVS and I never saw him again to this day. All I had to do was tell a doctor the truth and he let me come on Suboxone
It is a great feeling to not have to contact those people those people anymore, and so great to be off. I think I'm at day 72 now, and feel fantastic, only symptom I have anymore, is just a little tired during the day at work, but that's about it. I have some bad days, but the majority of them are great, especially on the weekends.
Oh you can definitely get off 1.5 pretty easily! Just remember a lot of the challenge is mental, and pushing through any sort of discomfort. You can do it! Let me know how things work out for you.
I disagree, there's a difference between addiction, and dependant. Addiction is a mindset in my opinion, addiction is filling a void to a problem(s) that haven't been dealt with. Dependence is just something you have to take to not be sick or feel a certain way.
I've been trying to switch over from methadone to suboxone, then taper off suboxone... I've had a rough time on methadone, absolute fucking torture... now that I split my doses up twice a day I haven't had any issues (unless I'm tapering down)... I would withdrawal all the time for years and I could never taper down , I'd yo yo up and down... u want off this shit so bad
Yeah methadone is rough, but I heard if you get down on a low enough dose, you can switch to suboxone fairly easily. Can't remember the figures. If you want off, you can get off, just do what you have to do and make it happen, even if it means being sick for awhile. It will be all worth it in the end, and once you're on the other side, you won't regret it. It's an amazing thing not needing any substance to make you feel normal.
Was taking 2 2mg a day for a year I ran out Friday last week I'm on day 8 or 9 it's currently Saturday and I sart my new job mon dealing with steel on Monday lol life is grand😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kratom helped me ..I was on like 8 for 6 or 7 months ..it sucked for a few months..but i came off gabapentin and wellbutrin..it was do able ..still sober over 4 years
I took walks through the woods, I live in a very rural area. So I'd walk maybe 2-3 miles, it helped a ton. I also ate as good as I could, I ate a lot of fruit, berries and vegetables.
I rehab I've seen the majority go off methadone/subs, without serious withdrawal..myself on the other hand I'm like a hypochondriac..amfetamine helps . But Def not to be taken as advice
I know some people who took that route years and years ago, and they're still addicts, and doing other drugs to this day. I think that's a case of not wanting to feel the pain of life, and unresolved problems. Actually not wanting to be clean, and free of substance. Sometimes you just have to take the harder path to achieve the good.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it thanks so much for the support, I certainly will. I know I am in for a hell of a battle, but at least it will be quicker than doing a taper. Just had my last dose this morning, I am done with drugs and look forward to a sober life
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it wish you the best i jumped from 8 mg first 3 days not bad 4 day thats when it hits stick to it my friend going on 4 month clean tha hardest is the first month after that is just gets very deppress and lonely i had no support from my family let alone my dr he still thinks im on them not even gonna tell him just gonna change sphyquiatrist he was no help anyways had me on 3 times a day 8 miligrams 24 all toguether crazy the day i mention i want it out he just jumped me from 16 to 24 that when i said this guy dont give a fuck stick to it my friend is possible
@@DavidRodriguez-qn4wj Are you quitting? Id recommend taper although I just went cold turkey off of 8mgs. Im feeling almost 100% better after 10 days. It honestly wasnt as bad as I thought
I went through a lot of tough life events in the past few years. I figured I could tough this out pretty easily. It definitely wasn't a walk in the park, but got it done. I didn't have a doctor, but had enough to taper properly, just didn't have the patience!
Buying "stuff" off shady people SUCKS. Broken promises, 5 hour waits that were supposed to be 30 minutes. Sitting at a corner, in a hood-you had no fuggin business being in, sticking out like a cheerleader in a junkyard... Only gangs and organized crime had their shit together!-they were there when they said they would. Other people would forget, and then make you meet them INSIDE a fuggin Family Dollar!-"here lets stand under the camera, while we conspire to commit...."
Do two shots of kratom one at 72 hrs , then one more at 100 hrs. Will get you feeling almost normal to be able to get some fluids in you for rd 2. Every 100 hrs are milestones for the pain.
the horror stories are real, you tapered off a tiny dose fucking dose and still are making a video about it and complaining about day light savings. Proper opioid withdrawal you will not sleep for over a week out of shear pain because laying down is fucking painful just laying. "i still went to work" you can't work while in actual withdrawal so stop with the "you can do it too" stuff man, when you don't know what "it" even is. "i slept the first 3 nights" this guy didn't even have withdrawal
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it you told us what dose you were on and the taper you did. You had 1/10 withdrawals. You don't even know what actual withdrawal is, that's the reality of the situation
STAY AWAY FROM KRATOM!!!! I have seen people develop a massive kratom habit and be worse off then just taking the subs. Be smart. Don’t take something to replace the drug, just find a way to get through the withdrawal and you will be all good in the hood.
I 100% agree. I've also seen a bunch of people develop crazy kratom habits as well. It's best just to go through withdrawals with no aids or replacements.
Most people I know who 3:12 get off Suboxone are just waiting till they can get high again. Not saying this is anyone here. I've used kratom for years yes it's habit forming I don't take it for fun. It's help give me my life back it's not for everyone do what's best for you and your life.
You can tell this guy has never been through heroin withdrawal lol. Yeah people let me tell you something, you start with heroin and then you get on Suboxone. Your body if it is not used to opiates penetrating it's Marriw And you jump into Suboxone, the withdraws will be just as bad as heroin. So remember, start with heroin first!
Suboxone withdrawal isn't quite as bad as heroin withdrawal physically, but it is much longer, and drawn out, and mentally taxing. Especially when being on it for 10+ years, after years of various types of hard of substance abuse. This channel is about overcoming the fear of withdrawal, getting and staying clean. If you want an award for heroin withdrawal, you have to go somewhere else. Getting clean, and staying clean, is much more of an accomplishment than, experiencing withdrawal from any substance.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it true man, but I've seen people experience this first hand and I'm not saying you're wrong. Just seen a lot of people go through a lot of things

Awesome to hear, congratulations! It keeps getting easier, keep it up!
How are you doing now? Hope still doing well. Went through 7 days off buprenorphine from 20mg a day to nothing. Been on it for over a decade. Those days were horrible. Day six started to get better. Got back on it. Going to try and taper it down and hopefully get off in the future now that I know it could be done.
@@zachb1494Hi Zach, it's rare to find people who have been on Buprenorphine over a decade like us. How was your detox? I quit cold turkey from 64mg Buvidal and it's week 6 and really sick but not as sick than the first weeks. I hope you're well.💗
Im on day 16 after being on 8mg mostly and sometimes 16mg when i wanted too .. very hard but getting through it slowly but surely
I am working on it, it's not easy, I am down to a very tiny sliver of it a day

Was on methadone for 15 years got off it 6 months ago it was rough but you start to feel human again ,I didn't taper due to Drs telling me I shouldn't stop taking it so did it solo,don't recommend this as I'm only feeling ok last few weeks ,stay strong your videos help people society shuns
Man that had to have been rough, hopefully you start feeling a lot better, in the coming months! Thanks for sharing your story, keep me updated on how you're doing!
Have to be careful, cravings go up when on nothing,and depression gets a bit worse for me.
I know your pain I was on methadone for 17 years for chronic pain syndrome and my doctors wanted to switch me over to Suboxone. I said absolutely not so I slowly tapered myself down took me about six months to do. It dropped off at 2.5 mg had very minimal withdrawal after day 14. I started to feel a little bit better right now I am on day 18 and so far the only side effect I have now is excessive sneezing and I’m getting between 4 to 6 hours a night of sleep. I would much rather deal with that then having severe withdrawal so I highly recommend tapering it really does help. It just takes a long time to do it.
@@ChillingWithMel22That's absolutely amazing. So glad you are beating the beast. Do you feel better now?
Was on methadone 85mgs majority of the time outta the 13 years I was on detoxed for about 9 months it was rough but I finally got off in May 2021. I was clean for about 2 years until I took a piece of a subutex Aug 11th 2023. I really messed up and I am once again going thru withdrawal I know I can do it again problem is I never really experienced happiness when I got off methadone It took me months to feel somewhat normal. If u want off something u definitely can do it I had a moment where I thought it would be fine just to take 1 subutex well that pill lasted 8 days then on 2 the next pill lasted me 5 days and when I stopped taking the subs it felt like I started over from the beginning I was kinda shocked because I wasn't using much this subutex shit is very addictive. I will detox but it's rough just thought I'd share wish everyone the best in there recovery.
Thank you for sharing your real life experience! I’m just about to have to go “cold turkey.” My connection is no longer available……. So I’m forced into this……. I wanted to taper off but…… it is what it is. I was an opiate addict for 15+yrs and then on suboxone for the last 5yrs. I’m really scared and worried, but deep down I know that this is what I want and it’s been a long time coming. Again, thank you for sharing! It shows me that it is possible and that I am far from the last person to be in this situation……. Take care and have a blessed day! Wish me luck
Being worried and anxious about having to get off, is THE worst part about the whole thing, and the biggest hurdle. Once you're off, just know, it's not going to last forever, and you will be feeling better soon, just stick it out until you do.
It's crazy the things you can do, especially when in a situation you're forced to do something. Just keep your mind on track, and busy. Don't think, or overthink the situation and how you feel, and you'll be through to the other side before you know it.
GOOD LUCK, and keep me updated. Take care!

Day 6. Sub addict (illicit) for 8 years. tapered to 1mg for a month and jumped. I feel ok... RLS has been, by far, the worst. The horror stories kept me from going for it for sooo many years. I wish others would stop scaring people.
Awesome! Yeah it's really not that bad, I don't know why people have to scare people like they do. It's different for everyone but totally doable. Probably another 6 days and you'll probably physically be a lot better. Good luck!
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it Thank you! I'm in awe of myself....first time in a long time. xo
Definitely everyone is different. I got RLS for about 3 weeks and the most I slept during that time was an interrupted 1.5 hours. The brain can’t function with that little sleep for a prolonged time. I was losing my mind and somewhat delirious. I don’t think people are trying to scare others. It’s probably a reality that they lived.

How u doing now
Good for you brother am going for it starting today wish me luck
Good luck, I hope everything is going good!
Your a good person man for trying to spread your experience to help people. Im down to 1 mg and only thing that bothers me is anxiety really. I still go to work but im jumping this weekend from 1 mg to none. Im done man i just want to feel myself again and be my normal personality. Im taking some Friday and hope the worst is over the weekend so i can continue work Monday. I just started the best job of my life and don't want to lose it. Do you think ill be feeling any better by Monday
The anxiety is definitely the worst part about the whole ordeal, mostly when tapering.
You can probably make it to work on Monday, but you're going to have mild flu like symptoms for a couple weeks, and a tired feeling for a month or two.
It's different for everyone, you'll just have to try it out and see how you feel. I would definitely make the jump though if you want off of that stuff. I'm sure you'll be able to tough it out at work.
I wish you the best of luck, and keep me updated!
Hey how did you end up doing I don't want to take time off work either is it doable?
I'm also on 1mg
Thank You!
Headaches chills no sleep no energy not as bad as fetty but it sucks none the less wish me luck guys
Good luck, and keep pushing through it, you'll be feeling much better in time!
I went from 12 mg down to 8. I am about to make another jump to 4 mg. And then I will go to 2 mg. I really appreciate this content because I really look up to you for what you’ve done.
You got this! A lot of it is mental, but if you just keep pushing through it, any discomfort gets easier to deal with! Thanks for watching, and keep me updated!
I am not new to suboxone or taper but one thing I recently re-learned and applies to your particular taper schedule I want to give you heads up on is this- apparently you can half your dose as such all the way until the last 2mg or 1mg BUT at that point, go much slower , such as only decrease by .25 at a time , for a longer period .
The dr that explains this taper reason is Dr. b or at least who I heard recently from - said many make a mistake jumping off the last so fast and underestimating some things - it makes sense with my experience of tapering 2 times to 10 months
@@kate4biglittlevoices oh wow. I really really appreciate your insight and advice. Thank you.
@@kate4biglittlevoices My mother used this method to quit and she's successfully been off it for almost 2 years.
Just a suggestion try get them to get you to 0.5 mgs your withdrawal will be less than going from 2 to nothing
Thank you for sharing your experience!!! I started at 16mg to get off dope... Like yourself, I cut down to 2mg fairly easily... The thought of coming completely off makes me nervous/anxious... I've been on them for over 3yrs!!! But I'm truly ready to get off completely!!! Thanks again for the inspiration, brother!!!
Honestly, that's the biggest hurdle, combating the anxiety, and nervousness of coming off. You just feel a little tired and a little achy while tapering for the most part. Just have to keep yourself busy, and not think about it. Just go about it like any other day. Taper the amount and length you feel comfortable, but the bigger drops you make, and the quicker you do it, will get you feeling better sooner! It's amazing how good you feel once you're off completely and give it a couple months. Well worth it!
Nice work getting to where you are. I've been on Suboxone for 16 years. For the last 10 years I've taken .25 mg (an eighth of one 2mg film). My doc and I have discussed getting off completely and together we decided there's no point. My life is fine, the expense is next to nothing so why? That's my story, I know not yours. Do what works for you but everyone doesn't have to get off it.
Thank you for this video

Im on 0.125mg right now for 3 more days, then going down to 0.0625 for 6 days and then jumping. I can't wait for this taper withdrawal to finally be over.
You could honestly just jump right now, and it wouldn't be too bad, but .0625 would be better. You'll be off soon enough!

I'm glad you made it through, that would be really tough!
Awsome video my friend very informative
I'm glad it helped, thanks for watching!
i switched from methodone to subs, they started tapering me so id be off subs in a year aganst my will right off the bat and were going to stop at 2mg, last 2mg i went to different clinic and got back on methadone, was on it for 14 years and a peak of 188mg, I tapered over a 4 year period and jumped at 5mg as i couldnt take the feelngs no more and felt stuck, I was surprised that my wd were very managable and was able to function through the day "well muttle through" im at around day 70 since last dose and just cant shake this lingering paws, the only symptoms are waves where some times a feel ok then others i get hit with mild fatigue/brain fog/adrenaline feelings like roller coaster in my stomach and this intensity almost burning in my chest "the feeling you get when you begin to withdrawal after missed dose" i cant explain the last symptom very well but im sure you know the feeling. i do automotive car builds as a hobby and make so many mistakes and feel stupid.
I totally understand the brain fog aspect, I'm almost off a year, here in March, and still get that brain fog feeling. That's basically the only thing that I still feel from that, and wonder if that'll always be there, or if that just actually how I truly am. Sometimes at work I'm trying to think of something and just completely blank out on it and feel like a dumbass. I hope that eventually goes away.
I really hope things work out for you, and get better, and your symptoms go away soon. They really should.
I would use some sick days. Definitely not go to work like that. Everybody would ask you what’s wrong. I wouldn’t share what’s goin on with co workers.
You should really tell a boss or coworker what you're going through, and tough it out at work, depending on your job and relationship with boss that is. Sometimes all you need is to just relax for a minute before you can get back up and start working again.
If you taper down, and then before the withdrawals hit, take 10mg Methadone, you’ll barely feel any withdrawal. It makes it much easier at least, and the Methadone has a really gradual let-off.
That could be a way. The withdrawals weren't all that bad anyway. Way easier than I thought it would be. Mild flu for a couple weeks
I'm proud of you
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Watching this for motivation

Just went from 8 mg to zero. On day 7 now. I don't even know how many times I roll over on my mattress all night but for me the sneezing constantly and the sweating is the worst part.
You should start feeling better within a week now! Sleep may vary, but will gradually get better. Yes, the sneezing is terrible, that will kind of go away, but will always kind of stay (not as much as now) I'm over a year off, and still sneeze more than I used to
.25 everyday. I’m taking .125 tomorrow morning/noon then jumping off. Wish me luck man. I’m nervous. 🙏
Good luck man you can do it! It shouldn't be all that bad jumping off that low of dose. But if you feel withdrawal, just remember, in 2 weeks time you will feel A LOT better. Let me know how it works out!

a slow taper is key.
.5 mg is still kinda high, IMO. I also recommend stabilizing at the new dose for at least a month before dropping the dose again.
even when i got to .125, i was dosing every other day, then every 3rd day, for over a month.
after my last-ever dose, My doc Rx’d a few days of a very low dose of valium because I was petrified of not being able to sleep. Interestingly, i was so exhausted from living life, i slept like a rock.
That's awesome! Especially that you were able to sleep good. Yeah I would definitely recommend a slower taper, I just kind of went for it, I'm sure the slower the better.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it we all get there however we get there ❤️
i also want to add that suboxone (and i was on 12 mg for close to 5 years) saved my life. There is no shame in being on if. People shouldn’t be shamed into going off of it until they are ready, considering the alternative. It gave me time to get my personal and professional life in order, as well as my finances.
How do yall cut them up that small?? lol practice and patience?
@@_Roasted_Marshmallow they actually make a 4 mg and 2 mg strip that is LARGER than the most commonly Rx’d 8 mg strip.
So. It’s easier to slice/cut. I used razors from box cutters
The no sleeping is brutal!
That's like one of the main things in my opinion. If you could just sleep right, you'd feel so much better!
I've been on it since 2003 so 20 flipping years, down to 8 mg now and am willing to do anything to get off of it, congrats though
If I could give you any advice to get off, it would be just slowly taper off. Being at 8mg you could probably make pretty decent tapers. Try going to 6mg and see how you feel, maybe stay on that for a month or two, then go down to 4mg, do the same thing. Usually once people get to 2mg it starts getting a little tougher, and need to taper a little more slowly and smaller dose cuts. You can do it!

Suboxone withdrawals are different for everybody. I had extreme fatigue for about 3 months after tapering from 8mg/ day to .5 over a 6 month period.
Oh yes, it's definitely different for everyone!
I went from heavy heroin use to 2mg subs, they had to bump me up to 2 ¹/² tabs of 8mg subs and i still was basically useless for months. Withdrawal is completely gone now with 2 ¹/² tabs a day. But my depression is back 7 fold, and i dont sleep for 3 to 4 days sometimes and sleep can last for 30 minutes to 6 or 7 hours. Never restful sleep. Thoughts of suicide have come back. No feeling of purpose, and many days are accompanied by a lack of a will to live. My appetite has completely gone. I wiegh less now than i ever did on heroin of pain meds. And my childhood depression symptoms and suicidal thoughts were the whole reason I started self medication with heroin. I went from quiet, depressed, and lonely to energetic, happy, and outspoken enough to lead more of a life than i ever had before. I was even holding down multiple jobs on heroin. Stopped using and now I'm a worthless 27yo child living with my parents, no job, no truck, no friends, no money. Thats my personal experience
No one is worthless, or beyond help or repair. I know sometimes it's hard to see your worth in this day and age, and in certain circumstances, and sometimes we beat up on ourselves for our situations, but never worthless. I lived with my parents until I was 29, there's nothing wrong with that. With the price of things these days, it's almost impossible to live on your own without the help of someone else. You will get there, just have to give yourself time. Try working on things just a little at a time, start working on small things, and before you know it, you'll be further ahead than you realize, no matter how hard it is.
Do things for yourself, and take care of yourself, do things that make you feel good, even pick up a hobby. Hobbies are great for for feelings of depression or suicidal thoughts, and gives you a sense of self.
There's always time to change your situation, and things are never hopeless. Believe me, I've been in a similar boat before, if I can do it, you can too. Just take life head on, and power through it, even if it's just a little at a time, any progress, is progress. Things will get better.
Keep me updated, thanks for watching and commenting!

You can't solve all your problems at once, friend. The ONLY thing you can do right now is lean into the shit and the void and fight for your freedom. You are Totally worth it. You can't be the person you want to be for your family and friends with this noose around your neck. You can Do this!!!
Find your purpose brother. You are NOT worthless.
I know exactly what you’re talking about. I started at 24mg a day. I’m down to 6 now. Working on slowly coming off. Now, about the thoughts and depression. Start setting goals. Even small ones. Mine were things I needed to get my life in order from basically being an addict from teenage years until in my 30’s, so there was plenty to clean up. Take it one thing at a time. Believe it or not, each accomplishment no matter how small, will slowly but noticeably change your outlook on life. Plus you’re making your life better for when you’re off completely. Even non addicts need to set goals and work towards them for a sense of purpose. If you’re like me, you’ll have to literally force yourself. I used to not even be able to make phone calls, much less actually interact with people. But now I’ve cleaned up so much damage, including getting my record expunged and I feel so much better about my life and my place being alive. You have nothing to lose, so go for it! Good luck!🍀

9 Weeks here. Jumped from 16 to zero. Its getting better now. Dont know, why it was that easy this time. Or, I know. But I wont share rhe medikation, that shaved of like 90 percent of the withdrawel. But it heiped. PAWS are going up and down now, but it gets better. Sleeping is a big isssue. Not more like 2, or three hours a day. Freezing was the worst for me too. And anhedonia, depression. I was very insecure among other individuals. But its getting better. Methadone was much, much worse. Tokk me almost 8 months to even consider getting out of bed. My PAWS come in waves, thats weird. Totally fine, one day, and getting diarrhea out of nowhere after 7 weeks.

I had enough. I was so pissed. I quit cold turkey, then the prega, then the benzos, which I tappered. I just dont know, where my Paws actually originate from by now. I said it, sleep is the biggest issue, the ringing in my ears is another. But going cold, from Bup. wasnt that bad, you'll have withdrawel , no matter what you do, taper or not. It just prolongs the situation and I did it so often, know what to expect. An old warrior, you could say. That one does not frighten me. Benzos do, in fact.

It took me over a year to get from 1 mg to 0. I tapered for freaking ever, so slowly lol
Same here. 0.5mg to 0.125mg has taken me 3 months. Have to taper so slowly because I have to appear normal to other people.

@@seekingfreedom9020 what dose did you eventually jump off at?
@@D..S.. .25 mg. It was very mild if any physical withdrawals accept being a little tired. I had no RLS and I slept every night through the detox.

Although you won't feel a strong in the gym for a bit. If you can get the quarter mg and hang on at that dose for a month or two and then stop. You'll be golden
I suffered Suboxone withdrawal and meth withdrawal. I think the latter was worse. But the former was hellish as well.
You mean methadone right? Methadone detox is definitely a little worse but both can be bad it just depends on the dose and length of time your on it
I hear methadone can definitely be worse.
@muddyhotdog4103 pretty sure they mean crystal..their not likely to be on suboxone and methadone
I’m talking about methadone. I was on suboxone first. But I kept going back to heroin after 3 stints. So 6 years ago I went to the methadone program: the good news is that I haven’t done heroIn in over a year. But the bad news is that I’m still on methadone. And I’m not even close to stopping cuz i take 170mg a day. It more addictive than anything. It makes your bones brittle and if I miss a dose I feel like I’m gonna implode: basically this is what the govt wants. They make a ton of money from each patient. We’re nothing more than lab rats. They don’t wanT us to stop using meth. That’s why it’s extremely hard to get off of it
@@citizenbeeswax7985 gotcha.. take care of yourself and good luck
The best way is to go from methadone to suboxone. Methadone is a 17 day kick of intense pain and madness, suboxone is much easier. It's the way. Methadone is near impossible to detox on. Sleep won't come for 7 or 8 days then maybe 3 hrs a night it's what causes the insanity
I've heard methadone is very hard to kick.
My husband was 24 mg
It is eerily similar to McDonald's Coke withdrawals.
🤣 McDonald's coke withdrawal is much, much worse.
Jesus help me please make it just stop is what! This is totally torture and cruel af .
Omg I went from 15 yrs 3 8mg then 12mg and stayed 5 yrs but he said my yearly ekg is 158bpm and tried cold turkey my ass until the nurse prat. Said DR YOU CAN NOT COLD TURKEY HER! thank God for her . But now it's like 3 weeks in at 1.5 whatever that means ? A HALF OR WHAT ? so I've just been taking a crumb of a quarter and spit it out instead of swallow the melted shit. And I'm fuckin dying dude wtf and I'm highly sensitive on all sense. My mind is fuckin with me and I'm not medicated for my anxiety disorder nor bipolar 1 , ptsd , and ocd. Good thing I'm not or I'd be triple effed . Done that before so fuk no .
This is by far the worst thing I've ever felt. Atleast I still feel... it means I'm still alive.
Just keep at it, you'll get through!
Isnt it awesome knowing the feeling you never have to contact that shady thug for suboxone anymore!! Years ago before I started going to a doctor I was also going through a shady thug. Well it was expected he definitely ripped me off, I gave him $170 and he went into the CVS and I never saw him again to this day. All I had to do was tell a doctor the truth and he let me come on Suboxone
It is a great feeling to not have to contact those people those people anymore, and so great to be off. I think I'm at day 72 now, and feel fantastic, only symptom I have anymore, is just a little tired during the day at work, but that's about it. I have some bad days, but the majority of them are great, especially on the weekends.
I definitely plan on making more videos!
I I'm on 1,5 mg and I wanna get off that stafg
Oh you can definitely get off 1.5 pretty easily! Just remember a lot of the challenge is mental, and pushing through any sort of discomfort. You can do it! Let me know how things work out for you.
Clonidine helps out tremendously, so does Gabapentin. I find that opiate withdrawl is worst. But yeah still pretty bad. An you will get bad back pain.
Opiate withdrawal isn't fun that's for sure!
The headaches was the worst
Yep, headaches did suck, those should go away fairly quickly though!
you actually had a steady supply for years? without going to a dr or program?
Correct, I never went to a program. I wouldn't recommend that route.
Mate you are addict if you can’t go without something but one thing I agree totally don’t rush and cut your 2 mil to smallest pieces than jump
I disagree, there's a difference between addiction, and dependant. Addiction is a mindset in my opinion, addiction is filling a void to a problem(s) that haven't been dealt with. Dependence is just something you have to take to not be sick or feel a certain way.
how long were you on subs?
13 years
I come down 2mg every 2 weeks, and I never felt any symptoms at all. None, at all.
Good! Once you get below 2-4mg a day, that's when it starts getting tough.
I've been trying to switch over from methadone to suboxone, then taper off suboxone... I've had a rough time on methadone, absolute fucking torture... now that I split my doses up twice a day I haven't had any issues (unless I'm tapering down)... I would withdrawal all the time for years and I could never taper down , I'd yo yo up and down... u want off this shit so bad
Yeah methadone is rough, but I heard if you get down on a low enough dose, you can switch to suboxone fairly easily. Can't remember the figures. If you want off, you can get off, just do what you have to do and make it happen, even if it means being sick for awhile.
It will be all worth it in the end, and once you're on the other side, you won't regret it. It's an amazing thing not needing any substance to make you feel normal.
Not as bad as Suboxone with gabapentin
I had to move and I didn't want to drive to see the doctor and I said I was going to quit well today the day jr
Good luck!
Now I got the flue too smh
Was taking 2 2mg a day for a year I ran out Friday last week I'm on day 8 or 9 it's currently Saturday and I sart my new job mon dealing with steel on Monday lol life is grand😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh man, not a good time to start a new job! I'm sure though, if keep at it, you'll make it.
I on 8/2MG for 5 yrs 3times a day
Wow, that's a good bit.
i want to quit kratom by using suboxne then this video pop out..
kratom really hurt.can't sleep my back hurt,restless leg,yawning
Sounds like classic opiate withdrawal! You'll be able to get through it!
Kratom helped me ..I was on like 8 for 6 or 7 months ..it sucked for a few months..but i came off gabapentin and wellbutrin..it was do
able ..still sober over 4 years
Congratulations on 4 years sober!
I want to give you a long story of mine but first I want you to respond to me
Did exercise at all and how was your diet
I took walks through the woods, I live in a very rural area. So I'd walk maybe 2-3 miles, it helped a ton. I also ate as good as I could, I ate a lot of fruit, berries and vegetables.
I rehab I've seen the majority go off methadone/subs, without serious withdrawal..myself on the other hand I'm like a hypochondriac..amfetamine helps
. But Def not to be taken as advice
I know some people who took that route years and years ago, and they're still addicts, and doing other drugs to this day.
I think that's a case of not wanting to feel the pain of life, and unresolved problems. Actually not wanting to be clean, and free of substance. Sometimes you just have to take the harder path to achieve the good.
Day 4
Awesome! I hope things are going good for you!
Very low dosage u we’re on thank god hun
im jumping off 8mg a day to zero wish me luck
Good luck! The sooner you get off, the sooner you'll feel better! Keep me updated on how things are going with you.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it thanks so much for the support, I certainly will. I know I am in for a hell of a battle, but at least it will be quicker than doing a taper. Just had my last dose this morning, I am done with drugs and look forward to a sober life
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it wish you the best i jumped from 8 mg first 3 days not bad 4 day thats when it hits stick to it my friend going on 4 month clean tha hardest is the first month after that is just gets very deppress and lonely i had no support from my family let alone my dr he still thinks im on them not even gonna tell him just gonna change sphyquiatrist he was no help anyways had me on 3 times a day 8 miligrams 24 all toguether crazy the day i mention i want it out he just jumped me from 16 to 24 that when i said this guy dont give a fuck stick to it my friend is possible
i was on for 3 yrs
@@DavidRodriguez-qn4wj Are you quitting? Id recommend taper although I just went cold turkey off of 8mgs. Im feeling almost 100% better after 10 days. It honestly wasnt as bad as I thought
Why didn't you just taper properly? No doctor?
I went through a lot of tough life events in the past few years. I figured I could tough this out pretty easily. It definitely wasn't a walk in the park, but got it done. I didn't have a doctor, but had enough to taper properly, just didn't have the patience!
Hell is all I can say.
It's definitely not a fun time
It sure fucking is cold turkey buddy, not that bad my ass
I'm sure cold turkey would be really bad! That's why it's best to taper if possible.
Buying "stuff" off shady people SUCKS. Broken promises, 5 hour waits that were supposed to be 30 minutes. Sitting at a corner, in a hood-you had no fuggin business being in, sticking out like a cheerleader in a junkyard...
Only gangs and organized crime had their shit together!-they were there when they said they would. Other people would forget, and then make you meet them INSIDE a fuggin Family Dollar!-"here lets stand under the camera, while we conspire to commit...."
I'll never miss any of that stuff, dealing with people like that. Horrible.
Do two shots of kratom one at 72 hrs , then one more at 100 hrs. Will get you feeling almost normal to be able to get some fluids in you for rd 2. Every 100 hrs are milestones for the pain.
Although kratom helps some people, I don't recommend taking it.
Get the shot in the stomach no withdrawal
That is an option, and a good one apparently, but some people can't afford it though.
how many shots did you get?
It sucks!
It's definitely not fun!
the horror stories are real, you tapered off a tiny dose fucking dose and still are making a video about it and complaining about day light savings. Proper opioid withdrawal you will not sleep for over a week out of shear pain because laying down is fucking painful just laying. "i still went to work" you can't work while in actual withdrawal so stop with the "you can do it too" stuff man, when you don't know what "it" even is.
"i slept the first 3 nights" this guy didn't even have withdrawal
You're a real tough guy. Maybe you don't how to deal with painful, stressful, and hard times? Bro I was on that shit for 13 years 😂
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it you told us what dose you were on and the taper you did. You had 1/10 withdrawals. You don't even know what actual withdrawal is, that's the reality of the situation
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it day light savings messed you up. You don't even know what withdrawal is. You might as well have no experience with it at all.
STAY AWAY FROM KRATOM!!!! I have seen people develop a massive kratom habit and be worse off then just taking the subs. Be smart. Don’t take something to replace the drug, just find a way to get through the withdrawal and you will be all good in the hood.
I 100% agree. I've also seen a bunch of people develop crazy kratom habits as well.
It's best just to go through withdrawals with no aids or replacements.
Most people I know who 3:12 get off Suboxone are just waiting till they can get high again. Not saying this is anyone here. I've used kratom for years yes it's habit forming I don't take it for fun. It's help give me my life back it's not for everyone do what's best for you and your life.
This stuff should be short term max 3 months..why a doctor gives this shit any longer than that I’ll never know 💴
I definitely think they should at least give you more information on suboxone, and make sure it's something that the patient wants or needs!
You can tell this guy has never been through heroin withdrawal lol. Yeah people let me tell you something, you start with heroin and then you get on Suboxone. Your body if it is not used to opiates penetrating it's Marriw And you jump into Suboxone, the withdraws will be just as bad as heroin. So remember, start with heroin first!
Suboxone withdrawal isn't quite as bad as heroin withdrawal physically, but it is much longer, and drawn out, and mentally taxing. Especially when being on it for 10+ years, after years of various types of hard of substance abuse.
This channel is about overcoming the fear of withdrawal, getting and staying clean. If you want an award for heroin withdrawal, you have to go somewhere else.
Getting clean, and staying clean, is much more of an accomplishment than, experiencing withdrawal from any substance.
@@SuboxoneRecovery-kd3it true man, but I've seen people experience this first hand and I'm not saying you're wrong. Just seen a lot of people go through a lot of things
