how long till suboxone kicks in

I have been on opiates for 10yrs and now suboxone for the last 3 my question is HOW LONG till my body stops wanting this stuff???!!!! Mentally I'm soo ready to stop but I cant without going through the usual: runny nose, chills, the runs and all the others.. I have weened myself to 1mg suboxone a day but that doesnt seem to be enough.. What do I do next??

Those who have had the best successful stories concerning suboxone withdrawal ultimately got down to tiny crumbs or slivers of suboxone before quitting.. Unfortunately long term suboxone users have no way to do this pain free. There will be withdrawal. Everyone's story is differnt but the good stories I have heard are from those who went down to teeeny tiny amounts. And YES you will feel normal again (better than normal)--so long as you stay clean after sub.

What did your doctor say? How long did he tell you to wait before taking it?

So, I'm just wondering how long withdrawal from Tramadol usually lasts. I have been doing a lot better lately; the brain zaps are very infrequent, and I usually feel okay on just 2mgs of Suboxone a day. I want to stop taking the Sub when the withdrawal from Tramadol should be over, but I heard that Tramadol withdrawal lasts longer than opiates. I'm getting excited because I might not even need an SSRI, as I am feeling much better from the Serotonin withdrawal symptoms.

Did u say that you swapped from Methadone 130ml to 8mg of suboxone. what day did You take the suboxone? How long have you been on Methedone.I only ask so that i can answer your question.

I'm sure this is a very common question, but is it better to quit cold turkey as opposed to replacing my opiate addiction with a maitnance program? 90+ mg of Roxycodone---Oxy's daily for 4 years. And that was just to not feel crappy. During a weekend i'd easily do 210 in a night. And how long till you get to feeling halfway normal again??? Like waking up to goto work and just not wantin to move. I've never really tried to quit.....

Oh my! How long have u been in w/d? How long were taking them and what mg did you jump at? Kim715 gave you sum great advice. I got RLS when I decreased my dose, but they didn't really hurt that bad. They ached a little but that was about it.

Okay. Did he give you Subutex or Suboxone? Have you taken it already? When was your last dose of H? I wouldn't mess with the Sub before Monday. You don't want to do anything to interfere with the induction he'll be doing.

Well I have a very close relative of mine who needs to know how long suboxone stays in your system. They havent took sub ever before but did for the first time on April 29 taking 2mg and on April 30 taking another 2mg, then never took it since. They have a drug test on May 28 and they are very nervous that this sub will show up. Does anyone know if the sub will be out of their system by then for a drug screen? Thanks in advance for any answers.

everyone is different...sub is a narcotic with a long half life...how much did u jump off at? For me that doomy fatigued feeling lasted off and on for a few months after a hydro addiction ..exercise helped alot with getting off my couch cos i was melting into my couch...rocket shots to get out the door for work...the fatigue was horrible....and i am a get up and go type//dont like laying around....I do know one thing that helped me is tyrosine...

Hiya I'm currently 22weeks 1day and I was told at 20weeks that my placenta is laying low so her kicks maybe delayed now for that last week or so I've felt what r like flicks I'm wondering how long will it be till I actually feel her, I'm so impatient but I can see her wiggle I'm just waiting for her kicks.

Oh yh I placenta was also infront of the baby soo it was blocking her kicks which explain why it took soo long for me. I know how you feel bt truest me when ya baby kicks you will know an its amazing. I.cant help bt smile when she kicks. Its like she is saying hellooooooo.

t feel like I have turned the corner yet, which seems absolutely amazing considering the Suboxone has to be completely out of my system by now. Is this typical for quitting Suboxone and how much longer until withdrawal symptoms stop? I'm in need of advise!

had a tt 12 days ago. on 50 mgs. im still tired not on full dose yet still waiting on pathology report.doctors won't increase till after clean report, Im 6'4 240 pounds how long after on full dose do you think ill be seeing an improvement in my feelings , energy ect.

Also I want to know if I was in full withdraw today and took 1 Roxy 30 how long will I need to withdraw before I can feel better. Will I just be withdrawing from the roxy or will it be a combination of 4 drugs this week. Methadone I haven't touched in over a month, tabs I haven't taken since Thu, tiny suboxone piece I haven't taken since Sat, and the Roxy 30 I took today.

hi iwas on long term suboxone and then switched to subutex cause it comes in very low doses and allows you to wean off more gently. big, however the withdrawals did seem never ending and were hard to cope with but valium and clonidine helped. i would make sure you are in a very good spot mentally and physically. i did it at what was not a good time for me and unfortunatly i couldnt cope and have relapsed but having said that you can do it just take your time and get lots of support in place.

WHAT? your saying how long till you can go back on drugs????? Am i reading you correct? Nauty.........

it is going to be hard when you get off them completely. You'll be sick physically and emotionally torn. but you have to tell the people around you, by telling them you'll be taking the 1st step, when you tell them, say this is what I've been doing, and not only am I admitting this but I am making a promise to you and to myself that I will now seek treatment cause you can't do it alone. I've tried for 4 years, I never told anyone and it just doesn't work.

On a scale of 1-10, how bad would you expect the withdrawal to be at such a low dose and how long do you think it'll take to be over it? Sometimes I'm forced to go without them for a day and I get flu-like symptoms. I don't crave opiates anymore, with or without the Suboxone.
