Thanks brother I’m on day 6 now, I’m going to make it, tired of this shit controlling my life , tired of waking up having to take something everyday!! Thanks for the help man
I know this is an older video but just wanted to share. I was put on suboxen by my actual doctor after getting off pain meds due to a coma. I lost my insurance last month, work have a husband, 2 kids and a heart condition which has made it scary for me. I'll be honest I'm not a cryer and don't show much emotion but I cry at the drop of a hat atm. Now n then I feel okay but I just have these moments of defeat. It can tear you down so much. Esp your spirit. I'm not hungry but I feel empty. I can't even explain it. I'm scared to death! I just wanted to share and tell u how proud I am of you. You gave me such a better feeling about this and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
That's a great inspiration to me, Amanda. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I had that very same feeling for months. It was like the first 8 days took away 50% of the struggle and the other 50% took months to go away. I would go places and feel like I was just a body filling a space. I would talk to people and think to myself "I don't care about this conversation and I want to go home." It was weird and uncomfortable. I realize now that I had to go through that experience to get to this point. I have almost 2 years clean and quitting subs was the best decision I've ever made. I believe in you< Amanda. I hope you're still clean and doing well.
Im goin threw the withdraw hell now day 4 notta fun thing but i did it to myself sucks bigtimes i love the longer videos they have helped alot thank you for these videos helps alot !!hang in there everyonr
Randomly landed on this video 5 days in after debating whether or not to turn back and I'm glad I did bc this was very sincere and relatable. I cannot keep taking something every day to make myself feel normal then live with the panic that comes with an upcoming vacation, business trip, etc.and not knowing if you'll be able to get enough medicine to last. Such an evil cycle man and I just wanna feel normal again too. Hope you've kept up with it and thanks for the post.
That 4th day explanation you talked about driving in your truck, thats what I heard is your 'addict impluse' and thats whats REALLY HARD TO CONTROL. In my opinion. God Bless you man if your still clean. Im on day 8, and it does suck, crying spells, no appetite, constant diarrhea, everything fucking sucks and just started a new job at Walmart and am on my last point before I'm fired. I lost my kids over this shit, and my independence. Please pray for me, If I ever needed Jesus's strength its now! Please if anyone out there has never tried Opiates, please stay away, they are a literal dead end!
So I'm in the middle of methadone withdraws, I hate the clinic shiii, and like you said I am over this whole entire cycle, I am over it.... But right now I am watching videos with my anxiety thru the roof and my legs running and came across you, its nice to see this will stop.. The things you're saying are exactly what I'm going thru I also have my kids, geeezzzz my legs are bugging bad, but congrats to you! Hope you are still good! ❤💯
Congratulations ,thanks for making these videos it can help a lot of people who want to try to quite this terrible medication, but it is hard as hell, the longer you been taking it the harder it is to get off, the with draws are terrible, but you just got to keep going
Bank you so much I have nothing else to say but thank you for the talk and support it’s the small things in life that help you get off withdrawals,,sometimes someone else telling how they do it makes it easier on your self..god bless bud
Thats some real talk brother, I've been in those shoes before Right now Im on suboxone and have been for a year...watching your video because I am trying to quit them and hate the withdrawal
No taper I jumped at 8mg I'm on day 5 and you really helped me! I cried for the first time when you said "you can do it" and "picturing the future" THANK YOU
I’m just past 90days I’ve had serious stomach issues after my 30 days of hell! I tried Kratom 3 times in the first 30 days and then stayed away from it Lord knows I had enough issues! How about an update from you
I'm jumping off at 8 as well but only after using Suboxone for 2 weeks .... I went to a doctor and got it because I was withdrawing from Dilaudid use seeing I was mentally prepared to just pack all opiates in ..... Now I don't even want Suboxone ..... I'm so mentally prepared for total abstinence but I'm wondering how bad my withdrawal will be .... I still have to work .... The sweats and chills I can deal with ... My only concern is the stomach issues, Diarrhea, and lack of energy .... I'm thinking how bad will that get or will I even experience it at all
Great vid! Im at 48 hours right now and i didnt sleep a wink last night! Its vids like these that are slowly giving me hope! Hope ur still fightin the good fight!!!!!!!
Tammy Rogne I'm also at the 48 hour mark. I slept 4 hours, and now here I am, on TH-cam, at 7am. The body aches, and anxiety is pretty rough. But, this is NOTHING like coming off of opiates. Maybe the worst is yet to come... He mentions that day 4-5 are the worst. Im on day 3. I'm prepared for this. I've got this! I have to make my CDL's to solidify my future. The laws have changed now, and they won't accept anyone on Suboxone. I remember days 2-4 being the worst, when coming off of opiates cold turkey. Since the half life of Suboxone is longer, I expect days 4-6 to be the worst with this. I relapsed 4 times after quitting opiates. I would always go 2-4 months of being clean, then the no sleep, no energy thing would just get the best of me. The first week of withdrawal is tough, but it's NOT the hardest part. The weeks, and months following the initial withdrawal period prove to be the hardest times for me. You get very impatient. You feel like you should be normal by now. The reality is... It takes time. Possibly a YEAR, to get back to "normal".
Dude you said something that really hot me. As far as taking off work it if a bad idea. Being alone and not having to push yourself will make you accept the fact that you can't handle it. Man I wish the best for you and wish I could help you and anyone else who understands the life we hated living
You did a great job. We are proud of you. Im tapering. Its hard. Suboxone 3 years. It works. But at some point we have to let those go. It just makes me numb.
Good job kid. Im 60. Been on them 3 years. Im tapering. Cold air and keep moving like you say helps. Im in tele med. It helps talking with people.Its a process.
I know this is old, but man you inspired to not go at it alone. I need to go back to meetings - haven’t been to a meeting in 11 years because, you know, I can do this on my own.... YEAH RIGHT! Who the hell am I fooling beside myself? Anyway, hope all is well. The best times in my life, when I was the happiest in my life just like you said, was when I was active in meetings. God bless
Hope you are doing well...this video helped so much im on day 10 off subutex...taking each day at a time but il get there. Not easy like u say some days better than others...thankyou for sharing you done brill 😄
This is the best explanation I've seen on how Kratom helps with sub withdrawal. On day 7 now with kratom. Feel like a person again, but it's gonna be a long road.
I was on subutex for 7 years was so sick of it I started taking kratom to get off almost 3 years later still on kratom Yupp just replaced the subs now I’m getting off this weekend want to be non dependent on nothing but coffee lmao good luck everyone
Stephanie Storm good luck Stephanie hope it works well for you and you can stay off this horrible stuff ,it’s a shame the UK won’t legalise Kratom to be used over here
Great video! I appreciate your positive mindset. Day 5 for me... Yeeesh! It's rough - but I've fought this battle too many times. I'm ready to finish this war. Hope you're well!
ja mitchell, thanks man! Day 15 today! What type of follow up plan helped you most, if you don't mind me asking? It feels amazing to have a clear head! I somehow didn't realize I was walking around in a fog & not being present in my life.
Morgan Steffey I joined Narcotics Anonymous. That shit changed my life. Abstinence without a recovery program just didn’t work for me. I’m so glad I did. Now I have a group of friends I can talk to who’ve been through the same thing. It’s priceless!
Day 5 for me stomach is messing up today but hasn't really felt bad since day1 was on 2mg daily subs for 2 years had been off opiates for a year and then relapse being curious I will make it this year
Wow people who have never got the beautiful experience of withdrawal will never understand watching this makes you feel so so proud of this guy that he actually did something that is the worst thing he new he will ever in life have to go through and stuck to it and won the battle. Hooray buddy enjoy your new beginning in life.
Man this is pretty inspiring. Im comin in on 3 years on suboxone. Im on 4mgs a day now. Started at 8mgs a day. In the 3 years ive been on it ive gone 3 or so days without it, and restless legs are my worse sideeffects. I cant sleep at all without suboxone and thats my biggest fear. I also have a 2 year old and 5 year old. Luckily i have a sopportive wife, so once i get off this train ill have her help. Thanks for sharing your experience. I also would like to get into NA. Ive not went because i know people with true sobriety kinda look down on suboxone and that deters me away. Anyways thanks again
Brother I know this is an old video I hope everything is going good and staying positive. I hear u when u wanna be normal. I’m down to 1 mg in the morning and 2 at night to help with the night pains. But after a few days I’ll bust down to 2mg and then down and down. I’ve gone through pain med withdraws and I know that doesn’t feel good but I love ur positive attitude right now in this video and hope u feel as good as u look and sound in the video. But would love to hear how ur doing now. Praying for ya.
What dose did you jump from? Everyone's very different same symptoms various intervals and durations span etc .. yours seem to be light thank God Hoare you doing now June 2020 you have a great mindset man
Thanks for video. Day one wasn’t too bad. Day too started yawning watery eyes tired. Day 3 started getting achy, sad, emotional, dry heaves and cold sweats, day 4-6 by far the worst. I’m now day seven and I actually slept about 5 hrs last night. It seems I have this incredible ball of anxiety and extreme anxiousness that I’m so freaking tired but I can’t sit still. Pure hell. Glad I finally was able to sleep. You mind if I ask how long u were on it? I’ve been on it years and years
Who were the 3 youtubers you watched that helped you each day? thank you so much for sharing your experience. Huge help watching you. I'm afraid to click on some videos so I dont get discouraged and give up. I have my kids, 7 and 9 similar to you that I got to take care of during this.
Hey ja Mitchell, really liked the video, I'm going to get off sub soon, waiting for my vitamin supplements to arrive, I'm from northern Ontario, so I have to order what supplements I need, thinking of taking kratom, but I don't think I want to ho down that route, but right on, was wondering where your at now.....have a good day....
Ive got 15 months off subutex. I used kratom for the withdrawal symptoms. Had problems sleeping the first week and a half, but it gets better after you get threw week one. Thanks for sharing. God bless everyone.
Chrissy How are you doing? I have almost 11 months clean. Still doing this thing. I feel better than I felt in years. Congratulations on your two days. That’s a miracle, To me
How low did you taper to before you jumped? 4,2,1,.5mg? I'm about to jump soon. I'm on 3mg at this point tho. I don't wanna jump yet. Like to get lower
Totally late to this video but, ten years for me personally on subs. Jumped after a long taper. Today is day 6 for me and its just like you said keep pushin. I feel great slight headache though. The hardest part for myself is the insomnia. Trying to find new ways of getting out of my own head. If youre reading this you CAN do it!
When did the withdrawals peak? I made it to day three off of 4mg and it got unbearable. Most people say day 7 is the worst and it gets better from there. It's such a marathon that can wear the best of us down. Glad to hear you're doing well though!
I'm on day eight and days 4 5 and 6 are really bad but everyday after day 6 you will feel yourself getting better. I recommend eating healthy heating pads and taking showers 2 or 3 times a day most importantly right before you tryin go to sleep. If you can even pace back and forth across your room it will cause you to sweat out those toxins quicker for faster recovery.
I’m on day 8 thanks man keep getting overwhelming emotions I been on that shit since 07 quit a few times in the first few years but always got back on I’m about to be 33 my birthday is on the 12th this is the best gift I can give myself is my old normal self congratulations man an thank you.
This video is helping me cope. I am on day 5 and I was only taking 4 mg per day. I know a lot of others that were taking 8-24 mg. And they really went through it. I agree 100 percent with walking and taking vitamins. It is funny to me that I was addicted to H for 3 years and took Subutex for 6 years. The withdraws from the Heroin were gone in 5 days but I felt a relapse coming so I went the Dr. Now I have no cravings and felt it was time to quit cold turkey. It sucks but manageable. I paid leave from work so that helps. I physically don’t feel that bad, other than no energy. For me it is messing with my head bad. I think the Klonopin the doctor prescribed it helping some. Keep it together bro.
Man would love to hear how u been doing. Having ur girls going through that I can’t imagine. I have a 4 yr old and I get frustrated with him and I hate that I hate myself for that feeling so I cave and take the sub
What if you were on it for 4-5 months taking about 2 to 3 mgs a day is that hard to come off... by the way how much were you taking a day and for how long.
What type of cbd oil? I just ate the edible distillate tincture yesterday and was feeling ok for pain management. I want to try some for anxiety and depression and manic depression symptoms. Where do you buy the “sodium ascorbate”?
Thanks for the video, I jumped off 24 mg for 2 years no taper. I’m at day 11 I have been to hell and I think I’m on my way back. Day 9 I felt a lot better. But now day 10 and 11 all symptoms full on. But I’m not gonna crack I couldn’t endure this again. I want to share something that I for some reason felt I needed during this and has helped a lot. I have a gas outdoor fire pit. I light it and sit by it and my symptoms go away. So needless to say I have been doing it a lot. The flames seem to stimulate my brain. Sounds crazy but If you have the means to try it, I would. Hoping day 12 gives me a little relief. I pray for all who are enduring this hell. Suboxone is the devil
I don’t know how long you were on Suboxone for. I was on it for 8+ years, and went through 7 days in detox (rehab) when I finally taper down to about 1 1/2 mg. They put me on a little bit of methadone. Didn’t do anything except give me diarrhea in rehab. So I get home from the rehab day nine, well that’s when the withdrawal actually kicked in. It was horrific, for about 3 months straight. I'll never touch Suboxone again! *update- I have 1 1/2 years clean as of 04-27-21
Hey man,I was on 16 mg of Subutex and I'm tired of being on it so I didn't go dose today and am starting to feel bad and o work second shift,have kids wife all that but I'm tired of taking this so thanks for your inspiration.
I was using Kratom WAY too much along with subs when I could find them. This is day 8 and I felt pretty great until day 6. Day 7 a little rougher but today is the worst. It’s not as bad as I’ve had it in the past, just very uncomfortable, especially at night! I just want to sleep, but can’t!
@@pappadoooos I am off the meds... completely nd this time it was not that difficult. Now I don't even feel such craving which I used to . But using marijuana like on every alternate day. But off meds...👍 thnx for asking .
I’m on day 6 after a 3 months taper to a crumb of subutex every other day. So far I’ve been okay, still working everyday. Definitely tired, sick stomach, sneezing and yawning. Day 3 I went and got of shot of Vitamin C, B-12, D-3 & Magnesium and taking 30k mg of Vitamin C daily since. I’m functional so that’s a plus.
I used Nyquil (nighttime extra strength) and Kratom (red vein) to get off suboxone. It helped, but the worst part is the depression, the diarrhea and the chicken skin, hot and cold spells, you're freezing one second and sweating the next but you're still cold. And you can't stand speaking to anyone. So you need to take some time off of work.
For some reason this video keeps stopping and buffering so it won't let me watch. I tried pulling up other videos thinking it was something on my end but they played without any issues. Anyone else having issues with this video?
Something I used to get off of Suboxone is Panax Ginseng 100mg and Vitamin B6 taken in conjunction. It works wonders. Find the amount that works for you. You can find both at Rite-Aid.
Hello sorry for bumping in, what exactly do these supplements do, while in withdrawal, does it calm you down somewhat. I recently purchased this herbal supplement called calm support, I haven't started yet but tomorrow I will begin.
If anyone's struggling and they want to get off to from where ur at and get prescribed lower if ur On 8mg just go to 4mg there way bigger and last longer taper down then when the months over have ur differ prescribe the 2mg do tht for couple months then cut down a half of 2mg which is 1mg I would cut a half into four slices take a piece every 4 to 5hrs then when u adjust to tht take half of a 1mg a day get low as you can also recommend buying a bag of red Bali kratom you can buy it online and you can mix one spoon with a little pink lemonade just a little bit of cold lemonade with one spoon of kratom twice a day while ur tampering off .5mg. when u start to feel clamy n crappy the longer u tapper and the less ur takeing the less of a shock ur body will feel also do small workouts like he said and kratom is okay long as ur not doing more then three tablespoons you will feel little scrappy first three days off but kratom really eases it it's worked for me I'm also a thinner framed guy so seeing the toxins out of ur system is quicker I hope this helps someone
I was on 24mg for years, then 16mg for years, then 8mg for years... now I’m down to 6mg I wanna be off it, But I Also have chronic pain, so it’s a bit hard as it does help with my broken hip & pelvic pain.. How Are you doing now, Hope you’re doing well ??
zoro cozgrove I can second that. Took a good year plus to get back to baseline. The depression hit me like a ton of bricks. BUT 4 years later and my life is better than it ever was before so in the end, it’s worth the fight
I had those thoughts and feelings too. Typically, it's the last phase of detoxification. In my opinion, it wasn't as bad as the physical withdrawls. It's the emotional stage of the process. I looked at it the same way I looked at the physical part. You just have to get through it to get to the other side.
I always get horror stories telling me it will take months. I took subs for 4 months after detox. Did you feel good after day 8? I am on day 5 going on 6. I work tomorrow.
Al Marzacci my experience is that it took 7-8 days to get through the most painful part of the withdrawals. After that everything else was bearable. It probably took a few months to get back to 100%. But it wasn’t painful and miserable after the initial 8 days. It’s was the occasional bout of lethargy or rls on occasion. It’s doable.
I’m down to 3 pieces the size of a piece of hair almost a day, one 8mg strip last me almost a month, I don’t know the math on that but I know it’s well under 1mg a day, I’m so ready to take that jump just tryn to man up and finally do it, just so scary. I will say that I get absolutely no high from them and never really did so I think mentally I’m not worried about a relapse or cravings cuz I’ve been on these for 10 years almost without a hype of high, just enough to not be completely sick, I went from cutting an 8 mg into 4 pieces a day to almost 1 mg a day, huge jump but it really only took me about a week or so to get used to it, im just still dreading the physical part, the restless legs is the worse part for me because I’ve had insomnia my whole life anyway and that just makes it unbearable, I want to cut what I’m doing now in half for a few months then finally just jumping off, pray for all of y’all and may GOD bless everybody on here and help them to get clean!!!
I’m starting to wein down and it’s definitely hard but I’m so done with being on it I have been taking 2 mg or less a day maybe 1.5 mg I’m yawning a lot My eyes watering my stomach has sharp pains but it’s manageable My sleeping is a bit off When did you jump off? How long were you on your tapered dose before moving down again and what dose were you on when you quit completely?
i just passed 4 months off suboxone. it was hard as fuck. the physical part was hell but then the PAWS kicked in and sometimes i think im still dealing with it. but still, getting off subs was the best thing i ever did. i know i had to walk thru hell to get here.
I'd rather have a job tbh, the boredom from no motivation to watch TV or movies or play games is what's getting me. I've been exercising, cold showers, lavander candles, chocolate and singing along to music, faking smiles, meditation, anything that's going to release endorphins and tbh the first 3 days were pretty easy, now I'm just kind of bored of feeling like this and my drive has sunk a little.
Day 6, feeling real bad still. Hate the warm skin feeling hot. Severe aniexty...it is hell and my 2nd time around at getting off sub's...I tell everyone not to even start them. Try for sharing by u are so darn handsome!
Did you or anyone commenting have burning or stinging feet either while in subs or trying to get off them? I've been on 16mg a day for four years and two months ago I got to where I felt that all my energy was coming from the subs and all of a sudden my feet started burning and stinging so I decided to get off them. I ended up losing my job over it and now my feet are killing me and I'm waiting for insurance to hopefully come through. Any thoughts appreciated.
I fucked up and didn’t pay attention so the clinic has given me 30 8mg strips but I always went and got them filled every 28 days. So now I go today to get them filled and the pharmacist says they can’t fill them to 2 more days. My question is an I go 2 days without feeling withdrawals when I only take 1 strip a day.
Lopermide is technically an opiate, however it does not cross the Blood-brain barrier like traditional opiates. This means it won't get you high, despite this though it will elevate withdrawal symptoms when taken in dosages that far exceed the recommended dose.
Day 2 listening to this at work on a construction site. My problem is no1 knows i have been on it the last year. Everyone thinks im on something bcoz im coming off 👎
Kratom is just as addictive. Currently in rehab for kratom. Be careful and only take it to get off. It’s fucked up withdrawals I promise you. If you’re not feeling it yet you will.
Vapornotsmoke word! People don’t get it. They are just gonna keep going around in circles until they had enough. My business was selling kratom and used it for 11 years. It literally sucked everything out of me and the past 3 years were me merely existing to take kratom and wait for my next dose...
Damn. I take a bunch of kratom and can go days without it. I took kratom for a full month once and when it ran out I was fine. I mean kratom is awesome compared to suboxones. I just got a lil depressed without but nothing that exercising can't help with. Does kratom withdrawals give hot flashes? Because that is the worse I think from coming off subs
I have been on Suboxone for about 4 years and it's getting to much for me I scared shitless I know how it feels to withdrawal can only take couple days off work any advice the first four days
Imodium is a opiate but it won't pass the blood brain barrier. It does help some but not a lot. There have been people that get addicted to imodium as crazy as that sounds so you always have to be careful.
Thanks brother I’m on day 6 now, I’m going to make it, tired of this shit controlling my life , tired of waking up having to take something everyday!! Thanks for the help man
How are you doing? Did you kick it?
I know this is an older video but just wanted to share. I was put on suboxen by my actual doctor after getting off pain meds due to a coma. I lost my insurance last month, work have a husband, 2 kids and a heart condition which has made it scary for me. I'll be honest I'm not a cryer and don't show much emotion but I cry at the drop of a hat atm. Now n then I feel okay but I just have these moments of defeat. It can tear you down so much. Esp your spirit. I'm not hungry but I feel empty. I can't even explain it. I'm scared to death! I just wanted to share and tell u how proud I am of you. You gave me such a better feeling about this and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
That's a great inspiration to me, Amanda. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I had that very same feeling for months. It was like the first 8 days took away 50% of the struggle and the other 50% took months to go away. I would go places and feel like I was just a body filling a space. I would talk to people and think to myself "I don't care about this conversation and I want to go home." It was weird and uncomfortable. I realize now that I had to go through that experience to get to this point. I have almost 2 years clean and quitting subs was the best decision I've ever made. I believe in you< Amanda. I hope you're still clean and doing well.

Sending Hugs from Australia
I enjoyed your video, I've been on subs for 4 years. You are very inspiring....thank you for sharing.
Randomly landed on this video 5 days in after debating whether or not to turn back and I'm glad I did bc this was very sincere and relatable. I cannot keep taking something every day to make myself feel normal then live with the panic that comes with an upcoming vacation, business trip, etc.and not knowing if you'll be able to get enough medicine to last. Such an evil cycle man and I just wanna feel normal again too. Hope you've kept up with it and thanks for the post.
Thanks, man. This has helped quite a bit.
The power of positivity is real my man... Keep sucking it up and keep going as alot of it is in your head
That 4th day explanation you talked about driving in your truck, thats what I heard is your 'addict impluse' and thats whats REALLY HARD TO CONTROL. In my opinion.
God Bless you man if your still clean. Im on day 8, and it does suck, crying spells, no appetite, constant diarrhea, everything fucking sucks and just started a new job at Walmart and am on my last point before I'm fired.
I lost my kids over this shit, and my independence.
Please pray for me, If I ever needed Jesus's strength its now!
Please if anyone out there has never tried Opiates, please stay away, they are a literal dead end!
So I'm in the middle of methadone withdraws, I hate the clinic shiii, and like you said I am over this whole entire cycle, I am over it.... But right now I am watching videos with my anxiety thru the roof and my legs running and came across you, its nice to see this will stop.. The things you're saying are exactly what I'm going thru I also have my kids, geeezzzz my legs are bugging bad, but congrats to you! Hope you are still good! ❤💯
I’m so tired of the cycle too! It’s hard for me to open up to people but I’m so tired of the back and forth. Proud of you!
Its hard. The subs work for me. Tapering. Keep up the great work. We can do it. We all can.
Congratulations ,thanks for making these videos it can help a lot of people who want to try to quite this terrible medication, but it is hard as hell, the longer you been taking it the harder it is to get off, the with draws are terrible, but you just got to keep going
terry caldwell I totally agree with your statement. It lingers for a while but it’s manageable after a few hard days.
Yeah those first few days are rough. it’s a slow progression to a priceless success.
Bank you so much I have nothing else to say but thank you for the talk and support it’s the small things in life that help you get off withdrawals,,sometimes someone else telling how they do it makes it easier on your self..god bless bud
Thats some real talk brother, I've been in those shoes before
Right now Im on suboxone and have been for a year...watching your video because I am trying to quit them and hate the withdrawal
No taper I jumped at 8mg I'm on day 5 and you really helped me! I cried for the first time when you said "you can do it" and "picturing the future" THANK YOU
I’m just past 90days I’ve had serious stomach issues after my 30 days of hell! I tried Kratom 3 times in the first 30 days and then stayed away from it Lord knows I had enough issues! How about an update from you
@@vickiakascottswife1929 i feel like kratom has no effect sometimes? Maybe I'm not taking enough.. I stuff the kratom in 750mg capsules and take 2
Thank you for saying that.
Coming off opiates id cry watching movies. Im a 30 year old guy hahaha
I'm jumping off at 8 as well but only after using Suboxone for 2 weeks .... I went to a doctor and got it because I was withdrawing from Dilaudid use seeing I was mentally prepared to just pack all opiates in ..... Now I don't even want Suboxone ..... I'm so mentally prepared for total abstinence but I'm wondering how bad my withdrawal will be .... I still have to work .... The sweats and chills I can deal with ... My only concern is the stomach issues, Diarrhea, and lack of energy .... I'm thinking how bad will that get or will I even experience it at all
A big Hug from italy , you strong !!! winn for you dother

How are you doing?
@@pappadoooos I regret to tell u I just couldnt continue the withdrawal process so I found another dr. and got back on sub!
Tammy Rogne I'm also at the 48 hour mark. I slept 4 hours, and now here I am, on TH-cam, at 7am. The body aches, and anxiety is pretty rough. But, this is NOTHING like coming off of opiates. Maybe the worst is yet to come... He mentions that day 4-5 are the worst. Im on day 3. I'm prepared for this. I've got this! I have to make my CDL's to solidify my future. The laws have changed now, and they won't accept anyone on Suboxone. I remember days 2-4 being the worst, when coming off of opiates cold turkey. Since the half life of Suboxone is longer, I expect days 4-6 to be the worst with this. I relapsed 4 times after quitting opiates. I would always go 2-4 months of being clean, then the no sleep, no energy thing would just get the best of me. The first week of withdrawal is tough, but it's NOT the hardest part. The weeks, and months following the initial withdrawal period prove to be the hardest times for me. You get very impatient. You feel like you should be normal by now. The reality is... It takes time. Possibly a YEAR, to get back to "normal".
Dude you said something that really hot me. As far as taking off work it if a bad idea. Being alone and not having to push yourself will make you accept the fact that you can't handle it. Man I wish the best for you and wish I could help you and anyone else who understands the life we hated living
You did a great job. We are proud of you. Im tapering. Its hard. Suboxone 3 years. It works. But at some point we have to let those go. It just makes me numb.
Appreciate this more than you know. Day 7 here. Hope you’re doing well
Are you still fighting the good fight? How are you doing now since a month has passed?
@@tommyc5436 Yessir headed on 1 1/2 months! Forgot I even commented this wow.. Was a hellacious week lol. Appreciate your videos my guy, much love.
Good job kid. Im 60. Been on them 3 years. Im tapering. Cold air and keep moving like you say helps. Im in tele med. It helps talking with people.Its a process.
Hope your doing well. Keep us updated. 6+months off over here, feeling GREAT.
mike s. How are you doing Mike? Are you still going strong?
I know this is old, but man you inspired to not go at it alone. I need to go back to meetings - haven’t been to a meeting in 11 years because, you know, I can do this on my own.... YEAH RIGHT! Who the hell am I fooling beside myself? Anyway, hope all is well. The best times in my life, when I was the happiest in my life just like you said, was when I was active in meetings. God bless
NA/AA Fellowship and God's fierce love for us is key - He want's us back!
Hope you are doing well...this video helped so much im on day 10 off subutex...taking each day at a time but il get there. Not easy like u say some days better than others...thankyou for sharing you done brill 😄
Honestly, Kratom is like a toyota vs a ferrari but it is still better than walking home.
This is the best explanation I've seen on how Kratom helps with sub withdrawal. On day 7 now with kratom. Feel like a person again, but it's gonna be a long road.
Try lyrica it’s amazing for opiates withdrawals it’s been proven to get rid of the physical symptoms
I was on subutex for 7 years was so sick of it I started taking kratom to get off almost 3 years later still on kratom Yupp just replaced the subs now I’m getting off this weekend want to be non dependent on nothing but coffee lmao good luck everyone
Stephanie Storm good luck Stephanie hope it works well for you and you can stay off this horrible stuff ,it’s a shame the UK won’t legalise Kratom to be used over here
🔒 and 🔑
Great video! I appreciate your positive mindset. Day 5 for me... Yeeesh! It's rough - but I've fought this battle too many times. I'm ready to finish this war. Hope you're well!
Morgan Steffey you got this! Don’t give up. I suggest a follow up plan after. 5 days is a miracle! How are you doing now, still going strong?
ja mitchell, thanks man!
Day 15 today!
What type of follow up plan helped you most, if you don't mind me asking?
It feels amazing to have a clear head! I somehow didn't realize I was walking around in a fog & not being present in my life.
Morgan Steffey I joined Narcotics Anonymous. That shit changed my life. Abstinence without a recovery program just didn’t work for me. I’m so glad I did. Now I have a group of friends I can talk to who’ve been through the same thing. It’s priceless!
Morgan Steffey congratulations on the 15 days. Keep walking through it. I believe in you.
I'm on day 5 right now. I'm taking some kratom which helps me sleep. But good lord this is rough. Called off work today. This sucks.
Rockin roberta!!! She's the best!!
I’m on day 5 cold turkey and this gave me hope thankkkk youuuuu
Are you sober ?i dont see many women withdrawal videos .
I heard is way bad then the men
How it go?
Day 5 for me stomach is messing up today but hasn't really felt bad since day1 was on 2mg daily subs for 2 years had been off opiates for a year and then relapse being curious I will make it this year
How are you doing now 1year later? If you dont mind me asking . Im gunna do cold turkey starting tommorow on my bday ! Im scared !
You can do it.! Weed helps although I only smoked once in like day 4 in the first week but when I did it helped. And showers.
Wow people who have never got the beautiful experience of withdrawal will never understand watching this makes you feel so so proud of this guy that he actually did something that is the worst thing he new he will ever in life have to go through and stuck to it and won the battle. Hooray buddy enjoy your new beginning in life.
What a great comment, Shirley. Thank you so much.
Man this is pretty inspiring. Im comin in on 3 years on suboxone. Im on 4mgs a day now. Started at 8mgs a day. In the 3 years ive been on it ive gone 3 or so days without it, and restless legs are my worse sideeffects. I cant sleep at all without suboxone and thats my biggest fear. I also have a 2 year old and 5 year old. Luckily i have a sopportive wife, so once i get off this train ill have her help. Thanks for sharing your experience. I also would like to get into NA. Ive not went because i know people with true sobriety kinda look down on suboxone and that deters me away. Anyways thanks again
I rather have restless leg than hot flashes. Ugh they both suck. Anybody have any idea how to stop hot flashes? I can deal with RLS
Bri Hennessey I periodically jumped in the pool. The anxiety was so bad that I didn’t stay long but it helped
Your freaking awesome brother !!!! NA is the WAY!!!
God bless you brother. Your video is so sincere. I know this is a older video but how are you today.
I'm doing great. i just posted an update. Check it out, Don.
Brother I know this is an old video I hope everything is going good and staying positive. I hear u when u wanna be normal. I’m down to 1 mg in the morning and 2 at night to help with the night pains. But after a few days I’ll bust down to 2mg and then down and down. I’ve gone through pain med withdraws and I know that doesn’t feel good but I love ur positive attitude right now in this video and hope u feel as good as u look and sound in the video. But would love to hear how ur doing now. Praying for ya.
How are you doing, man?
What dose did you jump from? Everyone's very different same symptoms various intervals and durations span etc .. yours seem to be light thank God Hoare you doing now June 2020 you have a great mindset man
Brother I'm at day 2 and I'm watching u lol ❤❤💪💪 we got this it's hard but that's what life's about
How are you doing?
Thanks so much for this.
Good job man. Great video. Thanks a lot. I'm getting closer to my jumping off point. I'm freaked out.
I was freaking out too. Ultimately, I just had to make the decision and go for it. You can do it! I believe in you.
Game Changer How are you doing? Did you jump off yet?
Thanks for video. Day one wasn’t too bad. Day too started yawning watery eyes tired. Day 3 started getting achy, sad, emotional, dry heaves and cold sweats, day 4-6 by far the worst. I’m now day seven and I actually slept about 5 hrs last night. It seems I have this incredible ball of anxiety and extreme anxiousness that I’m so freaking tired but I can’t sit still. Pure hell. Glad I finally was able to sleep. You mind if I ask how long u were on it? I’ve been on it years and years
Who were the 3 youtubers you watched that helped you each day? thank you so much for sharing your experience. Huge help watching you. I'm afraid to click on some videos so I dont get discouraged and give up. I have my kids, 7 and 9 similar to you that I got to take care of during this.
It has been so long I'm not sure I could pull them up, I'm sorry.
Hey ja Mitchell, really liked the video, I'm going to get off sub soon, waiting for my vitamin supplements to arrive, I'm from northern Ontario, so I have to order what supplements I need, thinking of taking kratom, but I don't think I want to ho down that route, but right on, was wondering where your at now.....have a good day....
I have no experience with Kratom. I just posted an update, Duke. Check it out. How are you now?
Ive got 15 months off subutex. I used kratom for the withdrawal symptoms. Had problems sleeping the first week and a half, but it gets better after you get threw week one. Thanks for sharing. God bless everyone.
Thanks. Im on day 5 and i got the cold sweats an chills bad. Hopefully it will be over soon its the worse part
How is it going? Were you able to stop completely?
I liked your video man it helped
Congrats brother much love
Congratulations! I hope you're still clean. I'm on day 2 right now. ugh.
Chrissy How are you doing? I have almost 11 months clean. Still doing this thing. I feel better than I felt in years. Congratulations on your two days. That’s a miracle, To me
How low did u go befor u made the junp off tbe subs im down to .5. And cant seem to stop iv binn on them for lik 4 years
Hey man what’s up. Do what makes you feel better
How low did you taper to before you jumped? 4,2,1,.5mg? I'm about to jump soon. I'm on 3mg at this point tho. I don't wanna jump yet. Like to get lower
Totally late to this video but, ten years for me personally on subs. Jumped after a long taper. Today is day 6 for me and its just like you said keep pushin. I feel great slight headache though. The hardest part for myself is the insomnia. Trying to find new ways of getting out of my own head. If youre reading this you CAN do it!
When did the withdrawals peak? I made it to day three off of 4mg and it got unbearable. Most people say day 7 is the worst and it gets better from there. It's such a marathon that can wear the best of us down. Glad to hear you're doing well though!
I'm on day eight and days 4 5 and 6 are really bad but everyday after day 6 you will feel yourself getting better. I recommend eating healthy heating pads and taking showers 2 or 3 times a day most importantly right before you tryin go to sleep. If you can even pace back and forth across your room it will cause you to sweat out those toxins quicker for faster recovery.
I’m on day 8 thanks man keep getting overwhelming emotions I been on that shit since 07 quit a few times in the first few years but always got back on I’m about to be 33 my birthday is on the 12th this is the best gift I can give myself is my old normal self congratulations man an thank you.
I hope you had a great birthday. How are you doing? Are you still clean?
Good for you man. Been on Suboxone for 6 years
This video is helping me cope. I am on day 5 and I was only taking 4 mg per day. I know a lot of others that were taking 8-24 mg. And they really went through it. I agree 100 percent with walking and taking vitamins. It is funny to me that I was addicted to H for 3 years and took Subutex for 6 years. The withdraws from the Heroin were gone in 5 days but I felt a relapse coming so I went the Dr. Now I have no cravings and felt it was time to quit cold turkey. It sucks but manageable. I paid leave from work so that helps. I physically don’t feel that bad, other than no energy. For me it is messing with my head bad. I think the Klonopin the doctor prescribed it helping some. Keep it together bro.
Eugene Weeks How are you doing brother?
Please watch the klonopin I am dreading withdraws while going through them from suboxone
Mrs Lassiter Wel if you don't abuse it or take too much it shouldn't be bad at all. You could always ween off it too if there is much issue.
Still doing well my friend? I hope so. Your video helped me a lot
Goodbye Suboxone thanks for the encouraging words. I’m still going strong. April 16th will be a year
amen brother!!! day 7 for me. hear for ya bro
Man would love to hear how u been doing. Having ur girls going through that I can’t imagine. I have a 4 yr old and I get frustrated with him and I hate that I hate myself for that feeling so I cave and take the sub
I can totally identify with that reaction to your 4 year old and hopelessness. I just posted an update video. Check it out. Maybe it will help.
What if you were on it for 4-5 months taking about 2 to 3 mgs a day is that hard to come off... by the way how much were you taking a day and for how long.
Found cbd balm quite soothing too also got rid of need for benzos it really does work tapered from 16mgs at 1mg a month was on it for seven years.
What type of cbd oil? I just ate the edible distillate tincture yesterday and was feeling ok for pain management. I want to try some for anxiety and depression and manic depression symptoms. Where do you buy the “sodium ascorbate”?
Thanks for the video, I jumped off 24 mg for 2 years no taper. I’m at day 11 I have been to hell and I think I’m on my way back. Day 9 I felt a lot better. But now day 10 and 11 all symptoms full on. But I’m not gonna crack I couldn’t endure this again. I want to share something that I for some reason felt I needed during this and has helped a lot. I have a gas outdoor fire pit. I light it and sit by it and my symptoms go away. So needless to say I have been doing it a lot. The flames seem to stimulate my brain. Sounds crazy but If you have the means to try it, I would. Hoping day 12 gives me a little relief. I pray for all who are enduring this hell. Suboxone is the devil
Fiuuuuuckk
I don’t know how long you were on Suboxone for. I was on it for 8+ years, and went through 7 days in detox (rehab) when I finally taper down to about 1 1/2 mg. They put me on a little bit of methadone. Didn’t do anything except give me diarrhea in rehab. So I get home from the rehab day nine, well that’s when the withdrawal actually kicked in. It was horrific, for about 3 months straight. I'll never touch Suboxone again!
*update- I have 1 1/2 years clean as of 04-27-21
That’s an awesome story! How much time do you have now?
Why would you take methadone to get off of suboxone? Are you also slow?
@@pappadoooos 1 1/2 years 💙💙
Hey man,I was on 16 mg of Subutex and I'm tired of being on it so I didn't go dose today and am starting to feel bad and o work second shift,have kids wife all that but I'm tired of taking this so thanks for your inspiration.
I can so identify with that feeling, man.
I was using Kratom WAY too much along with subs when I could find them. This is day 8 and I felt pretty great until day 6. Day 7 a little rougher but today is the worst. It’s not as bad as I’ve had it in the past, just very uncomfortable, especially at night! I just want to sleep, but can’t!
God I pray you are better now - this was very kind of you...peace ♥️🙏😇
I’m watching this in December 2020. I hope you’re doing well brother!
Day 1 already crying, but I am done with this crap! Thanx for the video💪
Yup pushing through ... been almost 15 days and I am completely off these meds. Weed keeps me calm.
How are you doing?
@@pappadoooos I am off the meds... completely nd this time it was not that difficult. Now I don't even feel such craving which I used to . But using marijuana like on every alternate day. But off meds...👍 thnx for asking .
I’m on day 6 after a 3 months taper to a crumb of subutex every other day. So far I’ve been okay, still working everyday. Definitely tired, sick stomach, sneezing and yawning. Day 3 I went and got of shot of Vitamin C, B-12, D-3 & Magnesium and taking 30k mg of Vitamin C daily since. I’m functional so that’s a plus.
I used Nyquil (nighttime extra strength) and Kratom (red vein) to get off suboxone. It helped, but the worst part is the depression, the diarrhea and the chicken skin, hot and cold spells, you're freezing one second and sweating the next but you're still cold. And you can't stand speaking to anyone. So you need to take some time off of work.
Thanks for hope. God bless you
Good job buddy, iv been there time ,time just keep fighting it takes TIME YOU WILL FEEL BETTER I PROMISE
For some reason this video keeps stopping and buffering so it won't let me watch. I tried pulling up other videos thinking it was something on my end but they played without any issues. Anyone else having issues with this video?
I'm not sure. I haven't had that comment before.Hope it starts working for you.
How long ago did you make this video ,I'm doing a suboxone detox I've just come off thirty miles of methadone,and I'm terrified of what's to come
Lynda Grainger I made this video a year ago. Still clean! You can do this. It’s not easy but totally worth it! I believe in you. You can do this!
Methadone is a different beast
Something I used to get off of Suboxone is Panax Ginseng 100mg and Vitamin B6 taken in conjunction. It works wonders. Find the amount that works for you. You can find both at Rite-Aid.
note2owns I’m a big fan of natural remedies and vitamins. Thanks for commenting
Hello sorry for bumping in, what exactly do these supplements do, while in withdrawal, does it calm you down somewhat. I recently purchased this herbal supplement called calm support, I haven't started yet but tomorrow I will begin.
Did u taper down I did from 12 mg 2 2 mg nearly dun now well done tho mate from the U K I understand
Thank you buddy thank help a lot
Thank u for this
Hey take vitamin b6 and b12 with ginseng tablets it will help with replacing those natural endorphins
Can I ask, how u know this?
If anyone's struggling and they want to get off to from where ur at and get prescribed lower if ur On 8mg just go to 4mg there way bigger and last longer taper down then when the months over have ur differ prescribe the 2mg do tht for couple months then cut down a half of 2mg which is 1mg I would cut a half into four slices take a piece every 4 to 5hrs then when u adjust to tht take half of a 1mg a day get low as you can also recommend buying a bag of red Bali kratom you can buy it online and you can mix one spoon with a little pink lemonade just a little bit of cold lemonade with one spoon of kratom twice a day while ur tampering off .5mg. when u start to feel clamy n crappy the longer u tapper and the less ur takeing the less of a shock ur body will feel also do small workouts like he said and kratom is okay long as ur not doing more then three tablespoons you will feel little scrappy first three days off but kratom really eases it it's worked for me I'm also a thinner framed guy so seeing the toxins out of ur system is quicker I hope this helps someone
I was on 24mg for years, then 16mg for years, then 8mg for years... now I’m down to 6mg
I wanna be off it, But I Also have chronic pain, so it’s a bit hard as it does help with my broken hip & pelvic pain..
How Are you doing now, Hope you’re doing well ??
Thanks, Pink. I just posted an update video.
Be careful months after being clean depression and suicidal thoughts kicked in which was crazy I'm not that type of person but there I was.
zoro cozgrove I can second that. Took a good year plus to get back to baseline. The depression hit me like a ton of bricks. BUT 4 years later and my life is better than it ever was before so in the end, it’s worth the fight
I had those thoughts and feelings too. Typically, it's the last phase of detoxification. In my opinion, it wasn't as bad as the physical withdrawls. It's the emotional stage of the process. I looked at it the same way I looked at the physical part. You just have to get through it to get to the other side.
I always get horror stories telling me it will take months. I took subs for 4 months after detox. Did you feel good after day 8? I am on day 5 going on 6. I work tomorrow.
Al Marzacci my experience is that it took 7-8 days to get through the most painful part of the withdrawals. After that everything else was bearable. It probably took a few months to get back to 100%. But it wasn’t painful and miserable after the initial 8 days. It’s was the occasional bout of lethargy or rls on occasion. It’s doable.
I’m down to 3 pieces the size of a piece of hair almost a day, one 8mg strip last me almost a month, I don’t know the math on that but I know it’s well under 1mg a day, I’m so ready to take that jump just tryn to man up and finally do it, just so scary. I will say that I get absolutely no high from them and never really did so I think mentally I’m not worried about a relapse or cravings cuz I’ve been on these for 10 years almost without a hype of high, just enough to not be completely sick, I went from cutting an 8 mg into 4 pieces a day to almost 1 mg a day, huge jump but it really only took me about a week or so to get used to it, im just still dreading the physical part, the restless legs is the worse part for me because I’ve had insomnia my whole life anyway and that just makes it unbearable, I want to cut what I’m doing now in half for a few months then finally just jumping off, pray for all of y’all and may GOD bless everybody on here and help them to get clean!!!
I’m starting to wein down and it’s definitely hard but I’m so done with being on it
I have been taking 2 mg or less a day maybe 1.5 mg
I’m yawning a lot
My eyes watering my stomach has sharp pains but it’s manageable
My sleeping is a bit off
When did you jump off? How long were you on your tapered dose before moving down again and what dose were you on when you quit completely?
How did it go sweetheart? Are you feeling better at all?
i just passed 4 months off suboxone. it was hard as fuck. the physical part was hell but then the PAWS kicked in and sometimes i think im still dealing with it. but still, getting off subs was the best thing i ever did. i know i had to walk thru hell to get here.
I'd rather have a job tbh, the boredom from no motivation to watch TV or movies or play games is what's getting me. I've been exercising, cold showers, lavander candles, chocolate and singing along to music, faking smiles, meditation, anything that's going to release endorphins and tbh the first 3 days were pretty easy, now I'm just kind of bored of feeling like this and my drive has sunk a little.
Day 6, feeling real bad still. Hate the warm skin feeling hot. Severe aniexty...it is hell and my 2nd time around at getting off sub's...I tell everyone not to even start them. Try for sharing by u are so darn handsome!
Did you or anyone commenting have burning or stinging feet either while in subs or trying to get off them? I've been on 16mg a day for four years and two months ago I got to where I felt that all my energy was coming from the subs and all of a sudden my feet started burning and stinging so I decided to get off them. I ended up losing my job over it and now my feet are killing me and I'm waiting for insurance to hopefully come through. Any thoughts appreciated.
Sounds like gowt
I fucked up and didn’t pay attention so the clinic has given me 30 8mg strips but I always went and got them filled every 28 days. So now I go today to get them filled and the pharmacist says they can’t fill them to 2 more days. My question is an I go 2 days without feeling withdrawals when I only take 1 strip a day.
Lopermide is technically an opiate, however it does not cross the Blood-brain barrier like traditional opiates. This means it won't get you high, despite this though it will elevate withdrawal symptoms when taken in dosages that far exceed the recommended dose.
You save lives every day while this video is up. Meetings. Meetings and more meetings.
Thank you so much. You have no idea how encouraging your words are.
I heard it takes a month to get off. But I was taking just a sliver a day of 8 mlg to make it last a week. Now it’s 4 days and scared
God bless you buddy
Day 2 listening to this at work on a construction site. My problem is no1 knows i have been on it the last year. Everyone thinks im on something bcoz im coming off 👎
Good video. I was on 8mg a day for 5 years. Today is day 7 of being off em. Kratom greatly helped me deal with the withdrawals.
dr32803 I’m on day 4 and Kratom has helped a bit. Day 4 is the worse. How much kratom did you take and how often?
Christopher Pooler I use a lot of Bali kratom. Couldn’t tell you how many mg’s I use. Just take as much as it takes to feel comfortable.
Kratom is just as addictive. Currently in rehab for kratom. Be careful and only take it to get off. It’s fucked up withdrawals I promise you. If you’re not feeling it yet you will.
Vapornotsmoke word! People don’t get it. They are just gonna keep going around in circles until they had enough. My business was selling kratom and used it for 11 years. It literally sucked everything out of me and the past 3 years were me merely existing to take kratom and wait for my next dose...
Damn. I take a bunch of kratom and can go days without it. I took kratom for a full month once and when it ran out I was fine. I mean kratom is awesome compared to suboxones. I just got a lil depressed without but nothing that exercising can't help with. Does kratom withdrawals give hot flashes? Because that is the worse I think from coming off subs
I have been on Suboxone for about 4 years and it's getting to much for me I scared shitless I know how it feels to withdrawal can only take couple days off work any advice the first four days
I just quit taking subs yesterday morning I’m out and only on 4 mg per day I’m also a roofer so hope it’s not gonna be too bad
Only
Imodium is a opiate but it won't pass the blood brain barrier. It does help some but not a lot. There have been people that get addicted to imodium as crazy as that sounds so you always have to be careful.
Man, I can tell he's going through it. I can hear it in his voice. Only the brave quit that shit.
Yup. No joke. God's gotta walk us through the fire to forge the sword.
