Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone withdrawal anxiety
suboxone
cold chills frequently during the anxiety attacks much like withdrawal symptoms,, amy suggestions??????
I've been on suboxone a lil over 2years. I was addicted to Laura tabs and opanas for about a year and a half. I wanted to try and get clean but the withdrawals was too much seeing I worked 40+ hours around the clock so my buddy hooked me up with a couple of subs saying they would help me get off opiates which they did but I slowly started to get addicted to the suboxone. Next thing I know I'm buying them every week off the street.
That helped a bit. Three days later I think withdrawal has peeked (I hope). I have lots of anxiety in my stomach along with mild diarrhea. Also my pulse rate stays very high and then I have a hard time sleeping. I haven't had the RLS or aches and pains or nausea. Since I'm 66 years old I was worried about my heart so I went to Emergency room on day 6. They did EKG and said every thing was normal. They IV'd me with saline and something to calm me down.
HI. I am on day 12 of suboxone withdrawal. It has been hell. How much long will this be going on? Im not sleeping more than an hour or 2 a night. When I jumped off, I was down to 2mg a day. I haven't been able to function at all. No work, barely able to get out of bed. It isn't getting better. I have pretty much accepted that I have condemned myself to a life of this agony. Please help.
The idea is the patch keeps you from feeling the effects of the suboxone withdrawal. My Doctor said it takes on average three months for suboxone to leave the blood stream. In my case it took longer. I've been off suboxone since may 2008, and off fentanyl since august 2008. I'm still a wreck, fatigue, loose stoole, depression, anxiety, insomnia, constant sneezing, stuffy nose, watery eyes, etc....I've been off of everything for one month, and things got worse before they got better.
I already take Valium ( completely as directed ) so it’s going to be anxiety over anxiety when I stop completely. I mean constant, considering like most substances Kratom helps and alleviates anxiety at first, but when you need a dose after a while the anxiety is shiz !
I have some Liposomal Vitamin C I know people have results from with Kratom withdrawal. I bought a CBD disposable vape.
I started taking suboxone I got off the street, and I didn't wait to be in withdrawal before I started I took my last opiat at night and started on 8 mg in the morning, this is day 7 of me taking them I cut down on day 3 to 2mg twice a day for 2 days now I'm down to 1 mg a day, but I have really bad anxiety and can't sleep. I know I shouldn't have done it this way without a Dr, but I was afraid my job would find out through my insurance, and I would loose my job.
Hey, have been dependant on methadone/ suboxone /subutex /methadone for 13 years. I returned to methadone as was best option during pregnancy.(fortunately baby had no withdrawal symptoms). Haven't used heroin for about 5 years but so scared of withdrawal, thought i would be on one of the above for life. Baby now 19mths & have been withdrawing slowly so can still fulfill parental (single). I am currently on 4mg and have conflicting info regarding what to do next.
He did not want to take the Suboxine, but had been on Xanax for about 25 years for anxiety and panic attacks. He accepted the Suboxone. Over the next two years on Suboxone he gradually lost the will to live. He went from an active AA participant (15 years recovering & sober alcoholic) to a man with almost no friends and no hobbies or interests at all. He lost interest in his children, grandchildren, hobbies and even sex.
What dose of sub did u jump from? I was on sub several months but switched a week ago to oxy hoping that would give me a typical oxy detox and not the hellish wd of sub. All I can say is that it will get better but I know with sub detox sub takes longer to get out of the system. What day are u on now? Hang in there. Subs a great tool but I never used it right. I was prescribed 8 mgs but only took maybe 2 mgs and did oxy on top. Stupid but thats what I did.
I took suboxone for a long time and was prepared to give some advice, but IBKleen could not have said it better. You will need to be in withdrawal when you start, but the suboxone works very fast and really helps with the detox process. Some people use suboxone to detox and others are on it longer term. Listen and take the advise of your doctors and work your program. Most of all, keep posting - ask lots of questions and keep us posted on how you are doing.
t know the exact situation you are in, but to be prescribed suboxone after you had already been off your drug of choice for 6 days is pretty crazy. Suboxone is meant to be given to help detox with minimal withdrawal and is usually administered within 24 hours of your last opiate dose. If you had stopped vicodin 6 days prior, then the majority, if not all, of the withdrawal symptom for the vicodin would have been over.
the worst part was the anxiety, he may have to wait as i did to get the full benefits of the suboxone...methadone acts like super glue in your receptors, and takes 4-6 weeks to leave your system completely. with or without sub. i was also on the maximum dose of suboxone 32 mgs of suboxone daily, split dose, 16 mgs in the morning, and 16 mgs at night, for just under 6 weeks, at this time i was able to taper quite rapidly down to 10 mgs.
ve been reading alot of posts on here where people are dealing with anxiety while going thru detox or taking suboxone and just wanted to share my experience, 7 years ago after taking narcotics and getting addicted, I went to a doctor who introduced me to suboxone, but the one thing I had really bad was anxiety and the last thing I wanted was to get benzos and she gave me a medication called Vistaril, it's not a benzo, it's not addictive and it works great for
anxiety.
