I hope everyone is doing well, now I need some encouragement. I posted my story in January so I wil just do a quick refresher. I had an on and off addiction of oxy/hydro of 60-80 mgs a day for about 10 years. I got sick of it and went to detox in January and was placed on subutex. I started at 6mgs a day and quickly went down to 2mgs a day with no issues. I came home wth a 3 day supply of subutex. I was fine after they ran out but about 7 days later I had some withdrawals. I decided to see an addiction doctor and got back on it while I sorted out the issues in my life.

I have been on it since and only avg 1 to 1.25 mgs a day. I have not gone over 2mgs since my days at detox. Well yesterday I was down to my last dose. I decided when I was out I would stop. I took my last dose at 1am last night, which was 18 hours after my previous dose. I woke up this morning around 10 and 2 hours later I started to feel awful. Now I KNOW this can not be actually withdrawal as I have gone 12 hours plus many times without dosing with no issues whatsoever. I am attributing this to the strong power our minRAB can have. Perhaps its the fact that I know I have no more that is causing this intense anxiety. As this night progresses, I am feeling very withdrawly but again, the last time I stopped it took a week.

I guess I need some encouragement. I KNOW it gets better with time, but my mind is really playing tricks on me and the thought of the days to come is starting to get overwhelming. I do not sleep well on a good day and I know what is to come.
 
Awsome! You are on your way to recovery. You already know that your mind may play tricks on you. Just keep one step ahead of that especially when it gets bad. I suspect this going on and off thing has your body confused. Watch out for any signs of seizure. You can do this!! Sincerely, searchin
