Ok so I see I am not the only one! About 6 days or so before Christmas I ran out of my Suboxone a 90 day supply @ 3 per day, before that I was taking it as I felt, 2 a day here then one a day, Then 3...I wanted to see if I could get off this stuff on my own. Feeling a bit confident, I let the stuff run out and planned on walking away and starting a new life. This stuff certainly had my withdrawels for Oxy's AT bay and I felt Normal, so again, I felt so normal in fact I just let it run dry!

I have never been so wrong about anything in my life! On day two without them a debilitating ache in all my joints surfaced, I felt misrable, I was alarmed at this persistant "Joint Ache" and thought I had the flu! A bad case at that! But I did get the flu shot? anyway, I called my suboxone doc, I went right in and he perscribed me more after yelling at me for letting my supply run down, I took one in the car on the ride home and by the time I pulled into my driveway I felt perfectly Normal again! Amazing and terifying all at the same time.

The withdrawels from Suboxone are horrendous, in my opinion much worse than the Oxy's etc...I am now terrified of ever going thru them again, so I guess I am on this stuff for a long, long time, I am mad as hell, depressed, and a slave to this horrible tasting stuff that was supposed to help me lead a normal life, this is far from a normal life, it is without a doubt Chemical handcuRAB of the worst kind..I feel that the drug manufacture must have known this! and realize they will make an awefull lot of money having all of us hooked on Bupe for life, and at $600 or more a month! Oh My god what have I done to myself, what have I become?? I wish I could turn back the clock to four years ago, when I took my first opiate.....That was the worst decision in my life.

This stuff does take away cravings but it is nothing more than a substitue addiction in my opinion, and it doesnt even give you a joy ride for all the trouble! I HATE IT..and I fear so much I will never get off it, I am taking more of this that when I took drugs recreationaly..

Please be carefull with this! Weigh your options, you may just be better off detoxong cold turkey than getting on this stuff..

There is no doubt in my mind that as time passes more and more info will be let out, this drug is still fairly new
 
Hey whats up. Day 7 for me off suboxone and its just as bad today as it was the first
few days without it.. I should not be feeling this on day 7, that is just total bs.. I would had stayed on my reg percocets if i knew it was gonna be this bad... After looking around and seeing bup is 40 times stronger then morphine i pretty much put 2 and 2 together... Bottomline of course the drug maker knows people are going to get very addicted to a drug thats 40 times stronger. They are riding high on sales of this evil crap.. I thought Percs were evil i know see sub is much much worse...

Good luck to you though..

Hello Bill

I am sorry to read of the distress here. I know it is a frightening feeling believing that a drug will forever control the life. Please, in truth there is no reason whatsoever to give up and throw in the towel. I did not withdraw from Suboxone, but from Oxycodone and then Xanax. WHile each is different in our experiences, believe me when I tell you I know withdrawal at its supreme worst. I truly do not know any known symptom that I did not endure. But you know what? I did endure and I am drug free, clean and happy today. It took a year for me to be totally withdrawn and symptom free, but it was possible. I educated myself by reading and re-reading this board for hours and hours and reading anything I could get my hanRAB on to educate myself about withdrawal from opiates and benzos.

Suboxone does have an opiate in it so withdrawal is going to be experienced without a doubt to some degree. How slowly we taper has much to do with our ability to withstand the symptoms and to perservere. It is my understanding that Sub serves a wonderful purpose for some. It buys the time for us to straighten out and change the way we view drugs and how we handle this issue in our lives. During tapering for me, I had much worjk to do to change my thinking. It was much more than just "Don't do drugs." We pretty much figure that one out on our own eaerly on. We need to discover the why of our abuse and misuse, and to resolve the buried issues. This takes time and the use of Sub is a way for some to gain this time.

Learn, ;earn, learn all you can about how to counter the tough symptoms. And let the Sub work for you as you do this.

All best wishes

It almost killed me.Had a bad reaction to Suboxone and almost died.Ended up in the ER.
 
I'm sorry for what happened to you. Suboxone is not for everyone, and just like any other pharmaceutical drug, ANYONE can have a bad reaction to ANYTHING. But for some Suboxone is a life saver.
