suboxone
all of it
sounds to me like you a very ready to walk away from suboxone, i jumped from suboxone to methadone, the two were similair to me, my body did not know the difference, i just have more experience with kicking methadone, there is really not a trick to getting clean and making it through wd's........just be willing to stop the drug and deal with the pain for a while, a few weeks of pain is worth complete freedom, you can do it!
I have been sober for two years and have been off suboxone for well over a year. Why am I so sluggish and have NO energy since I have stopped suboxone? I am a shell of what I used to be. I used to be very active...ride my bike religiously and now I find it hard to go up the stairs and find excuses not to. Please...someone tell me what to do. It has been over a year and I am pretty much a zombie. This is not me. I know myself physiologically and it is not all depression. Cant stress that enough.
I am an addict to suboxone. Suboxone was made to help with withdrawls from my oxycontin addiction. Not only does suboxone act as a back up drug, it also is horribly addictive and the withdrawls are worse in my personal opinion. I really want to kick the drug and become drug free but can't seem to get through the first week. Please... I need some advice, maybe some procedure I can do or something that can help. I really want the help just can't find it around me.
Cannabilistic Zombie?
My biggest regret is going the Suboxone route in the first place. My addiction was completely hidden and I regret not just asking for help for my 4 perc a day habit. The dr started me on 8 mg daily of the Suboxone and what a mistake. But I can't dwell on that.
This is costing my husband $125 a month for the visit and $300 a month for the medicine. It's sickening really and I want to get clean stay clean. I get zero support from the doctor.
As far as the Suboxone discussion goes... Honestly, haven't you found that Suboxone is extremely difficult to titrate and eventually get off of? As a professional, I seriously ask you; Is it really a miracle Drug? Most patient's report to me that getting off of Suboxone was harder than the withdrawal from the original opiate to which it was prescribed therapy for! I just feel bad for all these patients whom I feel have been gravely mis-lead.
Hey, you will feel better in a couple days, if your not already. I'm on Suboxone, and have been for 2 years. I was addicted to the same thing & methadone before I got on Suboxone. The Suboxone helped me right away. You don't feel high or anything, but you don't withdrawal either. Hope you have a great journey! Just keep your head up, and don't have anything around you that will tempt you. I will pray for you!
I looked talked to my doctor about switching from Methadone to suboxone. She said as soon as you take the suboxone you go into full blown withdrawals and continue to have them. So she is tapering me off the methadone. There is no easy way out with this drug. Trust me I've tried, I was on 100mg/day and am now down to 92mgs. it is a very slow process, and you get slight withdrawals.

Hello. I switched from methadone to suboxone in 2007 after being on it for almost 12 years. First, I had to drop my dose from 155mgs to below 30 mgs (22.5mgs) before it was possible to make the switch. I waited a full 4 days from my last methadone dose before I took 4 mgs of suboxone, incrementally increased by 2 mgs every 4 hours until I felt comfortable.
I finally stabilised at 12 mgs and began detoxing (2mgs daily) the very next day.
So about the Suboxone problems I was having, I think I finally got it down. I'm just taking a 1/4 of the 8mg tablet in the morning, and a 1/4 at night. I have started putting it under my tongue and letting it dissolve again, and it's not really causing any trouble.
I have never felt quite so zombie like in my life and this is my third pregnancy. Anyone else going threw this? Any suggestions in how to get moving I have class and work today and would really rather not look like a zombie.
To everybody who helped me I can't thank you guys enough. They turned me inti a zombie at detox, but I'm finally over it! Just for the record I turned down suboxone. I wouldn't even take the tramadol. They did have me on a massive amount of librium and adavan. I barely remember being there but all of the wds are gone..... after 4 weeks of agonizing pain and sleeplessness I bet. I won completely clean for thefirst time in 18 years.
I want to be off 100% . They have ruined my life and made me a zombie just searching for relief. If anyone knows of any over the counter or any home remedies that will help with WD please let me know. I Only suffer from extreme back pain. Well that is all i know i suffer from so far from WD. I have quit once before but only lasted few days. I want to be done for good but dont want to end up addicted to anything else.
It took me three years just to find something that worked and that would take my mind off of painkillers. I found that in Suboxone. For me suboxone has been a life saver. It has removed the craving for pain killers. If I did not have it I would be lost. It is considered a maintenance tool. If you feel like you don't need it that's a good thing. That means the suboxone is working making you feel like you don't need anything. That is what it is suppose to do.
They kept increasing my dose until at my highest I was taking 600mgs of methadone daily and was a walking zombie and suffering some sever side effects. It was hell trying to decrease from that high of a dose down to 30mgs to make the switch to suboxone.
High doses of methadone long term have really screwed some people up. Also as a new methadone patient be sure to pay special attention to your oral hygiene.
