suboxone horror stories

t u just hate when ppl who are suppose to be ur friend fill ur mind with doubt and worry?? All week I have heard horror stories from the girls from work (who are nurses) girls we gotta remember that no pregnancy is the same and personally I feel listening to girls drag us down makes us feel waaay worse. I ended up booking a private scan cos I was so torn up by what ppl were telling me about my nausea symptoms stopping. If ur not sick ur whole pregnancy something is wrong?!?!? I was terrified.

Congradulation's ! Sounds like you are doing great. How was it getting off the suboxone ? Did you taper down really low ? Did you have bad withdrawals ? We hear so many horror stories about getting off Sub. I'd love to hear how you did. Please keep us posted and again, CONGRADULATION'S !

Ok I am weaning off suboxone slowly have gone from 8 mgs to 4 mgs over the last 4 months but have been very depressed, the doctor started me on 30 mg of cymbalta 8 days ago, nauseous first 3 days and now mouth is very dry, haven't really noticed any other side effects and it's too soon to tell if it's helping with the depression but I've been reading some horror stories about cymbalta withdrawals, should I stop now?? Or is it alot of hype?

I want to stay away from Suboxone as I only hear success stories from people who are still on it and it seems like many horror stories for those that tried to quit suboxone itself. I just need help, has anyone here gone through it and been done for awhile and feel completely normal again?

I owe my sobriety to suboxone...truly. I have heard horror stories about stopping subs but I had very few issues when I cut them off. This is just my experience but if anyone ever asks about this med I am all for it. Don't let horror stories scare you away...make up your own mind but please research suboxone or talk to a doctor to see if its right for you. I'm at 105 days and my life just keeps getting brighter and brighter.

Hey Marie, follow their plan, if it doesn't work, I'm sure they'll adjust it for you. Don't get ahead of yourself, I agree with IBKleen, reading horror stories on the Internet is not going to help you. You're dealing with professionals there, stick to the plan. Good luck to you!

Here goes. I've been addicted to oxycodone for about 2 years. I went on suboxone about 10 months ago, was on that for about 4 months than right back to oxy. I was averaging about 150 mg oxycodone a day and about 2 months ago it was bumped up to about 300 mg a day. I finally realized that I am not going to go another day on oxy. I went to dr. Monday and he put me on suboxone, 8mg 2x day for a total of 16 mg a day. I took that mon and tues, felt ok.

Welcome to medhelp while I cannot offer advice on the methadone, I can offer you support for wanting to get clear and free of the drug that has taken over your life. Just from reading here and from friends experience subs can be just as addicting, I agree with above that weaning methadone sounds beneficial. Have u checked with another med professional for their opinion?

t need them anymore and told my doctor. He gave me 2 mg suboxone strips and after reading all the suboxone horror stories, I am deathly afraid to get hooked on these. I know I will have norco withdrawals since I tried to quit a few weeks ago cold turkey and it was too bad. Is it better for me to just deal with the norco withdrawals or try maybe half of one strip when it gets bad? I don't know what to do. I know that I can't keep taking these pills.

No experience with sub but definitely have read a lot about it here. Yes there seems to be more horror stories than successful ones. I have also read many times it saved their lives. The high amounts you take and smoke scare me and I am always relieved to see you post. Wishing you all the best with whatever choice you make.

Today is day 4 of no suboxone for me (after taking it for 4 and a half yrs) and I must admit that unless the wds just haven't kicked in yet, I don't feel very bad @ all. Yes...my legs ache some, I get the chills, and I feel tired, but other than that....I feel pretty decent. I was so scared to come off b/c of the horror stories I have heard. Do yall think I'm in the clear or is the worse yet to come?

I feel nothing other than normal right now and would rather nit hear horror stories unless they are similar to mine. If I can make it thru this without missing work..my goal. This is the beginning of my TRUE SOBRIETY without the crutch of sub...

s not that bad and the physical withdrawals only last for about a weekto its awful and that depression and anxiety can last for months. I try not to waste trio much time reading the horror stories. Are you deciding to coming off the subs? If you're only taking 1 mg it Prob will be fairly easy for you! Good luck. Keep posting Id like to keep up with what and how your doing!!

I am wondering how bad it will be and is this acceptable taper process. My dr. wants to keep me on subs for a few months but I have heard horror stories about wds after a couple months of subs so want to get it over with in a week. So is it also safe to this as well? Thanks for your time I appreciate it. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/721252'>Forum Guidelines - Please read before Posting</a>.

but there is still the memory of all the horror stories i have heard about peoples drs cutting them off completely i am really stressing over the withdrawls that will start tommorow ya know? tell me a littl eabout YOU if you have time to chat..

Yeah...I have heard horror stories about it as well. Maybe you could talk to a doctor about your options??

On one hand I understand where he is coming from as far as the pain goes but on the other hand I have heard so many horror stories about methadone. Can anyone suggest anything? Sub doctors are hard to come by where I live (canada) and I just don't know what to do anymore. Please help. I know I can't stay on oxys as my tolerance just keeps going up but like I said, the methadone idea scares me. Is there anyone here on methadone for pain management that can help me?

t know much about that. Just be careful because I have heard some horror stories about it. Good luck to you.

In my opinion stay far far away from the Butrans patch (Suboxone) I hear/read horror stories on this forum daily. Have you tried any non narcotic pain meds for the pain?

I think i am going to make an appt to go speak with him next week. what scares me so much is that i have heard and read so many horror stories about suboxone W/D's being even worse than the drugs one needed to get off of in the 1st place. when i talked to the lady at the Dr office she said no way that was true. the only way she could think of that would be true is if someone was taking themselves off of suboxone and not following the Dr's directions.

the methadone even titrated slowly still has withdrawals and some say you do not feel right for another few months or longer after it is stopped. I don't know first hand yet because I'm still tappering on it and it has not been fun whatsoever! I am functioning allright but I can't remember anything i feel permanatley "stupid". If I had it to do over I would have tappered off of the oxy and would have never tried the "easy" way out because it's harder.

Dr wanted me to stay on lon term at 24 mg a day but I went against advice after reading horror stories of long term sub use. I tapered quick and got off didnt feel much then, Then I relapsed bad at beginning of Dec went for 2 weeks strong taking 180mgs of perc a day. I had some sub left from script so I started again. This time for 2 weeks then took my last one on Wed at 6:30PM. I was expecting more wds and did have crawly skin hot flashes irriatiblility but wasnt that bad.

I have been reading A LOT of posts about suboxone ( which im on ) and all i see is horror stories about it! Its working amazing for me and my dr is really great. He said after a cpl months or a yr we will begin to taper down until im off completely. But im getting scared about it bc of the posts im reading. Im on day 43 and back to my old self in most ways.and thts what ive been looking for the past 2 yrs.

If you have a positive attitude, and tell yourself you will do fine, you will probably do better. If you read all kinds of horror stories and scare yourself silly, you may do worse. Don't underestimate the power of the mind! One day at a time!

if its something you found out on your own let him read through some of the posts from past addicts on this site and see some of the horror stories that being on pain medication can cause.

Hi all. I feel so stupid. I don't know how I ended back in the same situation I worked so hard to get out of. I was on oxys, got on suboxone, got off suboxone after being on it for 3 yrs. I have heard horror stories about people coming off suboxone, but it wasn't that bad for me. Anyway, I ended up being clean off everything for about 5 mths before relapsing. And here I am again, about to start withdrawing. I told my husband this morning. He had no idea. Please help.

I beg to differ. There are plenty of success and horror stories regarding suboxone. I am not an advocate of it, nor do I dismiss it. It's all about being empowered by knowledge and making informed decisions. I just try to keep and open mind and not dismiss everything that I personally had a bad experience with.....I don't feel that would be right on my part. You say Potato, and I say pottattto, and that's okay. luv, nauty..........

Just warn him there are some horror stories of people coming off sub, but most these people jumped off at too high a dose. He will get so much support and info here.
