1st time writing on any forum. i've gone through hydocodone dependency and withdrawls once, oxy twice and now suboxone. I have major pain problems due to auto accidents, being hit from behind by drunks. sad!
today i hope i can shed some light on sub withdrawls for those who might be thinking about going through it. my first suggestion would be to immediately begin your plan to taper down as soon as you begin taking it. stick to it! let me say that again, stick to it at all costs. you should really put someone else in charge of your pills that will stick to YOUR plan no matter what. when you first start taking sub you will be at your best to make up your mind about a plan to be free from dependency. the longer you take sub without a plan, you will begin to form the same dependent behavior you have with any other drug, so start right away at the beginning. you can read else where the best ways to taper.
I, being the smart guy i am jumped off the subox train at 4mg a day. I would not suggest it. no need to suffer like that. if you decide to jump off at 4mg, you might as well forget sub and go though ct on you drug of choice.
i would say personally that ct off off sub at 4 mg is physically more difficult to ct than dependency and then ct off of hydocodone or oxy. it is designed to stay in your system for a much longer period of time.
for myself, and I speak only for myself, at day 12, life still sucks! i am much better but, with all i am doing, i still have absolutely no energy, i can't sleep, i have this nervous energy that just creates a need to pace both knees and arms anytime i try to rest. And i was only on sub for about 3 months. i had been on oxy for about 18 mos with one ct after about 13 mos.
the pain was still pretty bad after detoxing for 10 days, ct off of oxy. after about 2 mos of being free i could not handle the pain and went back to the oxy thinking i could handle it. ha! but, after 10 days ct i was coming back strong, feeling good except for the damn pain which began to increase the more active i became.
well, this is where i am today at day 12 of being off sub. i hope that tomorrow is better. each day seems to be. i am anxious to get my life back. i feel like it was hyjacked. i wonder where i went for the past 18 mos. my advice to all is tto listen to the people around you. if someone tells you they feel something is wrong, that you don't seem the same, listen to them! you are not you on pain meRAB. YOU ARE NOT YOU ON PAIN MERAB. get off of them. stay away from them.
oh, yea, to you doc's out there who think with all you training that giving someone a presription for 120 pills a month is helping them,......NO! you have pobably just signed their warrent to dependency. think again. these things are bad news. and as a doc, give prescripts out to your patients as if they where you daughter or son. think about that with what you know about drug dependency.
good luck to all, i'm going all the way! i keep reading that it will pass and i know it will, i just always thought i was smarter than the average bear, booboo.
