Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone withdrawal home remedies

suboxone

What are some of the best home remedies for stopping Oxycodone use? I have no money for the suboxone. I have been taking 5/325 8-10 a day for around 2 years prescribed by my VA doctor and I want to quit and I have tried but the withdrawals got the best of me? Any help is much appreciated.

ive known people to go through suboxone withdraws for over a month its a slow process you have ween your self down slow and easy or it could put you in the hospital

I was on OxyContin, so i imagine the withdrawals are similar. I couldnt deal with the withdrawal symptoms. I tried weening off Oxy, weening off suboxone but by day two i was in hell. Im not a doctor so i suggest you do the research, but The waismann Method was a godsend. I lloked into other treatments, but none seemed anywhere near as qualified and compassionate as Waismann. It does seem your withdrawals arent as severe as some, but before it gets worse you may want to give them a call..

the methadone will prolly help,but dont over dose yourself, start with 10 mg's,that should suffice for 24 hours maybe 36,its one evil for another though,methadone is very addictive too.

i know the only reason i am feeling ok now is cuase im on suboxone. i just fear the withdrawals after i stop taking it. so i am learning how to taper off sub. hopefully i can avoid the w/d's.

This is an old forum, so I posted a question which starts a new forum. The title is suboxone withdrawal, hopefully to see you there. I was asked to do so by another member. They said more ppl can help there and give more specific information.

And I'm about to the point of just quit taking the subs, I know all about the withdraws but I'm to the point that I'm thinking a few days/weeks of pain will be worth a lifetime of sobriety, but is there anything I can do to minimize the withdraws,home remedies? Thanks for your help!!

How long do suboxone withdrawals last? I only took it for about 2 weeks-I started w/ 1 8mg strip a day & then gradually decreased the amount over the last 2 weeks; however, I have used opiates regularly over the last 8 years. Prior to taking the suboxone I was taking 12-16 Norcos a day. Today is the first day without anything & I wanna crawl outta my skin!

I have has to withdraw from suboxone a couple of times in the last 2 years. Tapering down on suboxone doesn't really give you the same effect similar to tapering down of oxycontin per se. It is such a strong opiate that it gives relatively the same effect in lower doses. If you are at 8mgs a day, you could easily be down to 2 mgs in about two weeks if you setup a good taper schedule. Just know that when you go completely off, it's just as bad withdrawing from any other opiate unfortunately.

” I withdrew from tramadol a few years back and was fine after 23-25 days. I have heard that Suboxone is so strong that the withdrawal period lasts a lot longer, but no doctor I have seen seems to know anything about this potent drug. Any information about the Suboxone withdrawal process would be greatly appreciated as this has already gone on a lot longer than I or my doctor expected. Thank you so much!

My fiance and I stopped taking suboxone on Oct.7...the emotional and mental aspect of the withdrawals were worse than we could have imagined and we have detoxed from methadone and almost every imaginable opiate (OC, opana, morphine, dilaudid, etc.). Although we have suffered far worse physical withdrawals, coming off suboxone (less than 2 mg. daily at most and then we tapered to crumbs) was far more difficult than we anticipated...

Do some more research, I have found some interesting posts on here and other sites that talk about long term Suboxone usage resulting in bad withdrawal. The consensus is the shorter you are on it the better. But some folks need it to stay off the bad stuff, and that is the right choice for them. Suboxone definetly has it's advantages to keep you away from abusing, so you and your doctor have to decide what is best for you.

As far as I know, the medications perscribed by a doctor to help with withdrawals are methadone or suboxone, they are a synthetic opiate and are supposed to block the pleasure receptors the real opiates give you making you not want any. Which, from what I hear, these are real ***** to get off of as well. Some say it is just trading one addiction for another.

never have those 2 drugs in your system together or you will go into severe and intense withdrawals. Although I would not recommend this, you might actually get past the sub withdrawals easier by riding it out with this 20mg methadone you took. Again, that is not a good idea but perhaps it will help.

Just in case you are curious, it takes us three to four days to detox a patient and get him/her back home drug free and feeling well on Naltrexone therapy (no opiates). At home, the basic technique is to space out the pills you take on a consistent manner until you take only one at night, then half at night, than every other night and then none.

Does anybody have any home remedies or secrets that doctors, etc. just will not tell you (unlike Suboxone) that will help me get through the withdrawal side effects of taking 200mg/day or more of Oxycontin for over a year now? Trust me I have tried alot including Suboxone and tapering, nothing really works. Even rehab, made it through but then right back on after a month.

I mean think about it, what did they do in the olden days for medicine? They used home remedies, herbs, and etc. So I know that it works. But I would NOT go to a GNC and expect to get what ya need. I'd go to a hole in the wall, small herbal shop somewhere..make sure that they have taken some kind of classes or that they are certified in herbs. Because I went to a small herbal store and thats how I come to find my special regimen.

i dont have a mental addiction to the pill i dont crave the high but i have a strong physical addiction to oxy. are there any home remedies that seemed to help? or other drugs i should ask about from my doctor? please list anything and everything u have to ease the pain that is to come. please help like the person above me said i cant remember how i was happy before but i know i was...

Ultram is non-narcotic so doctors don't mind prescribing it and it helps with the aches and pains of withdrawal. Literally, I was at work one day and was going to have to go home sick because I was going through Vicodin withdrawal. I got my doctor to call me in a script for the Ultram and was able to stay at work the rest of the day. It's no miracle drug and will not make you feel "high", but you will physically feel at least 85% better.

They can give you medication to make you feel a bit more comfortable but the withdrawal is inevitable. Hang in there. We are here to support you and can recommend some home remedies to try and make you comfortable.

I stopped taking suboxone 5 days ago, After 4yrs of use the withdrawal on day 1 and 2 were enough to handle, But since its feels like it getting harder, last night must have been the hardest, Smoking pot, and drinking didn't help, but taking phenergan I finally mange to get a couple of hrs sleep.. Barely have enough energy to do anything at the moment...

Let us know how you are feeling and we can recommend some at home type remedies to help ease the process.

been on 12 mg suboxone for over a year..stopped taking them 15 days ago with no tapering and it wasnt that bad and its almost over i just still have bad cold sweats and little energy and little sleep. if i took 2mg of suboxone just to get a great nights sleep for one night would that make the withdrawls worse again or prolong the withdrawls or would i just go back to how it is now on day 15?

What brought me here is I started surfing around for home remedies to make detox easier and I started reading about suboxone and was really getting my hopes up with all the positive comments (this was another board where I read the good reviews) and found a dr. here in town and was going to call tomorrow for an appointment. But now after reading the FAQ on suboxone on here I am afraid to go this route.

Took away some of the withdraw symptoms, but not all. If I ran out of those and didn't have my Norco's, the withdraw from them was worse than the opiates. It was much harsher. I wouldn't take the suboxone for the tram. Like it was said, it is like substituting a glock for a flyswatter. You are better off to keep on your taper plan.

but thats the truth. My doc wrote me a script for suboxone in May of 2008 (2 months before I went into the detox center), but couldn't afford it at the time ($380.00 for the script) and eventually lost it so I went to detox. MY QUESTION - Am I still a candidate for suboxone? Im thinking of asking my doc if she will give me 2 days worth of suboxone, before paying for a full script, just to see if it helps me feel somewhat normal.
