I am 11 days into suboxone withdrawal, since about day 4 I have been just lifting dumbbells and running in place because it's cold as hell outside. But to anyone watching this video going through it, please listen to this man!!
wingbean123 I've been cole turkey of subs and I could only make it 2 weeks and I relapsed. I'm just wondering should i start getting healthy and exercise before I quite this horrible drug?
How the hell are you running? I run/lift like a maniac but when I’m weak like this my form is the first thing that goes, so I stay away from running. Gonna try stationary bike after I can get some fluids down. Accidentally swallowed my subutex (just 2mgs) and I just have to tough out the next 24 hours. Luckily I’m on such a low dose it’s not TOO bad. Just weakness. Clammy. Watery eyes. Zero appetite. And rambling obviously
Meagan Renee I’m currently micro reducing my bue, getting in shape first helped me ALOT. Long time addict. I swear it helped me. I did it at first out of desperation to sleep. Diet and exercise. Get healthy, then start reducing, but take it slow cause that drug is very difficult to get off, and not many doctors understand the consequences of stopping cold turkey, especially for a long term user. Hoping to be off the bue completely in a year. Went from 8mgs a day to 2mgs a day. Gonna slowly reduce that over the next year. After that, have to do the same with clonazepam. Trying to quit both those drugs at the same time is the worst withdrawals ever.
I can't wait just to start recognizing myself again. I'm 7 years into a heavy opioid addiction. I'm watching my life fall apart around me I'm not as good as a father or husband and I can barely keep up with the bills. For me I know that it is now or never.
Thanks for the quick reply Ryan. I have done this a couple times but I have never been so serious as I am now about quitting...my attitude was always terrible and I thought life was so dull and boring without opiates...well I am determined to permanently stop this devil drug. It has caused to much damage to my life .. I'm 25 but I feel 80... I am going to start running and working out ... Push myself and give it my all.. I hope my boredom will go away in time
Do it. You’re still young too. I managed to transfer my addiction to the gym, but not till I was 38. Just free weights and running, but a lot of it. Get some music you LOVE together, force some blood to your brain, it helps. Run. Watch your diet, that’s 75% of it. Lift. Jump ropes are cheap. Whatever it is, challenge yourself. A watered down vanilla protein shake is the perfect thing for withdrawal tummy. Get a pedialyte or Gatorade as well and that post workout shower will feel great.
I started the gym three months before making a jump off of 16-24mgs of suboxone....decided to start tapering after the 4th day Bc the withdrawals were tooooo intense, I am down to .25ish every other day now just two weeks later from my initial jump off, making the final jump starting tomorrow. & I know, I know, I should have tapered longer, but I can't live one more second of my life on this nightmare called suboxone. Idc how terrible I feel, even with starting a new job this coming Monday, which kinda has me in panic mode....but regardless of all of that, I've gotta get it done. Period. Your prayers are welcome. Thanks for the videos man. I have spent the last 6 years of my life on and off suboxone and oxy, and it's worn me down so badly, and I refuse to let this shit put me in an early grave. Pain is temporary, life is short, time flies, and death comes to quickly for me to sit here & live another day of my life under this spell, or curse, of this awful substance.
The Swamp Fox just curios how your w/d of subs went. I'm currently facing wanting to get off of them. I take 16mg a day and I've been on it for a couple years seeing diff docs. Well the doc I'm seeing now will not taper me down. He believes I should be on it for the rest of my life. Well I'm tired of going through life numb. I really would like some advice on quitting subs because I know they are the hardest to get off of.
Meagan Hebert There is a forum I ran across after I made the jump, that detailed how others tapered down on their own. Just Google Suboxone taper, if I remember right it was on drugs.com. Hope you're doing better and make your way off the subs.
been through withdrawal many times, and know exactly what you are talking about with that natural high. One of many things that bothered me the most was the hot flashes, but after experiencing it soo many times I found to embrace that heat. When I felt the hot flashes coming on I would do some push ups or some pull ups and embrace the heat. It seemed it burned the sickness out of me. Not to mention the pain in my back went away, and it also stirred up the natural high feeling.
First two days I stayed inside puking and eating. The third and fourth days I was out with friends and feeling a tad bit okay, fifth day I relapsed. Trying again soon. I think the key is keeping busy and occupied to keep your mind off the drugs because I stayed in on the fifth day cause I had headaches and didn't feel like going out and I got bored.
Just know, it’s gonna take four weeks. Before you’re feeling like you’re beginning to bounce back. People grossly underestimate the strength and length of the withdrawal period. Good luck.-also, unfortunately those four weeks will be plagued on and off with those headaches. FYI. You haven’t felt the full power of the withdrawals till the seven day mark in my experience.
Hey Ryan. I've been watching your videos for a while now...even the ones that got deleted...and I just had to say that you're a total inspiration. I wish you made more videos even. I'm one of those people looking for help and living the struggles you speak of and just to hear what you have to say and see how well you're doing after what you went thru truly does make a difference. Can't say enough good things about ya buddy.
Yea sure did. Been sober since may 17th 2014. Went to rehab in FL and stayed down here. Couldn't be happier, good job, good friends, working hard, going strong. Seems like another lifetime when I wrote that message. Those were tough times for sure but after you pull yourself out of the hole, you appreciate everything that much more
Disciple of Christ I saw it too and at the end too.. he was a wonderful guy no question he had beautiful souls looking after him and helping inspire others through him.. he was a great. I miss him dearly.
You have really motivated me im on day 4 they put me on a benzo cuz I am having lots of anxiety but defently getting outside would surely help you have taught me to put addiction in a postive way I just started my first video I actually have two peace love and harmony
The first few days you're completely unable to do anything. If you've been on opiates for years then recovery is a tough process. But this guy Ryan is really amazing with his helpful videos. What would people do without him?
Here's my problem tho; my legs turn to jelly for about a week and I can barely walk 3 feet without having to hold myself up on the wall. And if no exercise makes things worse, but I don't have the physical ability to stand up long enough to do any kind of workout, then what am I supposed to do?? I'm currently on day 3 or 4, I haven't slept for 2 days bc of the opioid induced rls so I'm not entirely sure which day I'm on. I also suffer from chronic pain and had back surgery a few months ago and think I need another one, add this seemingly never-ending torture and torment, and I feel like I've been hit by a car, kicked by a horse, and played football with no padding (all of which I've been thru, so I can use them as accurate examples, just not at the same time), and find it very difficult to get up to pee, let alone exercise. And I know I'm gonna feel better in a cpl days, I'm just not sure how to workout that won't turn me into a bed-ridden, pain-writhing, dying snake looking, dying moose sounding, psychopath lol, during or after the withdrawals bc of my amount of pain.
It's really difficult but as an on and off opiate addict. Had a withdrawal so bad once I had a seizure. Working out literally excelerates the detox. Get up. Sweat. Fight. Easier said then done but it works for certain types of people. But again. Everybody is different
Please!!!!! Throw me some advice Ryan I've been taken perks for over 3 years because of a faild back surgery I have recently took my self off .im tired of them controlling my life .it has been 15 days without "cold turkey" I consider myself a very strong willd person when I say I'ma do something I do it yes the withdraws were horrible but not imposeble but my cunumdrum is without them the quality of life is not good at all ..I have a family of 3 ...young kids and a wife and without these meds I can't seem to be there for them the way I need to be ..Im always in unbareble pain and trust me I know pain ...so I'm at a breaking point and I wanna just go back to them ....mind u in these few years I've been on them I've never misused them nore have they ever leadme down a horribley dark path in to any other drug ....I only take what the doctor gives me so just looking for a lil advice Ryan thank bud...
I know exactly what I want to do when I'm dope sick, go for a run and work out!!! Thats absolutely a joke. I can barely get out of bed long enough to get to the bathroom for my shit/puke, let alone work out.
about 4 months in. i have mainly just been lying around and its definitely made things worse. im.actually gonna just get the hell up an go. laying around obsessing about stuff makes me sick even this far in.
Connor Phebus controlling the cravings and making your mind up to get over it and focusing on new things is the hardest part from what I've been told. Learning how to live again is the struggle after initial withdrawals....congrats on your journey thus far, hope you're still doing good. You're not alone, always remember that.
I feel like suboxone is just on a whole nother level than pain killers. I've been on it for years and I try to quit but feel like I'm ready to end it all. Is there any tips for tapering of sub? I've asked my doc to start tapering me down but he doesn't think I need to considering my past! I'm just ready to be over this hell I'm in. I'm tired of being numb and putting poison in my body everyday. I've tried everything you've said to on these videos and nothing seems to help the horrible mental anguish I go through.
@@rudyferrell thanks for asking I'm still taking suboxone and hope that one day I will finnaly be done! So your 5 days without?! I'm def sending love your way its a tough battle but in the end it will be so worth it! 💙
Im on my tenth day of tramadol withdrawals plus my fibromyalgia and Atypical tn i really dont know whats what. My head is clearer but the pain really there. I just wanted to ask any of you guys if you got a pounding in your head and out of breath when you went for a walk?.
Forcing blood to your brain is what helps. A stationary bike is really best if you’re dealing with the “difficult to stand” exhaustion. Eventually nature is great no doubt.
RIP Ryan. I am done. Hearing of your passing has brought a lot of perpspective to my life. I must get through It, I want it!
How he die?
Proud of u
Hey Ryan, thanks for the tip... On day 7 now and my energy is NOWHERE to be found... It's hard to exercise when you feel so tired all of the time

Meagan Renee taper off slowly=almost no withdrawal symptoms. It might take some time but in long run you will be free from it for good !
@@yuliiaradler9780 or just quit and get that shit out of your body. Cold turkey baby

How ya doing man ?I'm in the same boat, it's now or never. I'm tiered of this merry-go-round.
I wish I woulda been looking for help when he was still here but I’m so thankful that he left us with all these amazing videos!!!

Kris Carpenter hope you’re doing a lil better now 3 months on. I’m day 6 no subs. I feel ya! 😫
day 6. jumping jacks truly helped
Day 10 off tramadol and went for walk .. because of the RLS .. CANOT sit in one place for several minutes ..
It's really difficult but as an on and off opiate addict. Had a withdrawal so bad once I had a seizure. Working out literally excelerates the detox. Get up. Sweat. Fight. Easier said then done but it works for certain types of people. But again. Everybody is different
For me once everything began to ache, moving around such as walking lead me to maintain exercising seamlessly once I was fully detoxed.
How is someone able to go outside and go for a walk with stomach cramps diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting every 30 minutes???

day 1 and I'm feeling pretty normal. Just curious if I can start working out now? If I force myself up if I will feel better with a daily workout?
+Jordan Brooks yup i spent about 5 hours at the gym for a week and then sauna and swimming it was great do it!

Yeah you are literally dying if you have been taking a lot. keep going you will heal and after a month you will be free.
Oh the comment I said made the white pill was a roxi.please let me know.
Stay comfortable in bed? Lol
