Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone withdrawal home remedies
suboxone
It seems you jumped off at a bit of a high dose, even for Suboxone. I know the withdrawal stinks but in a few days you will begin to feel better and you can put this all behind you. You have come this far and I would hate to see you take any other addictive drugs at this point.
Let us know how you are feeling and we can recommend some at home type remedies to help ease the process.
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'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.
i am a reasonably healthy 46yo female & spent 18 years on methadone before being involuntarily withdrawn from 75mg methadone over an 8 week period. Last 20mg I came off at 1mg per day. I am now taking (not prescribed) 5-20mg methadone per day as I couldn't cope with some withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone is not available to me in New Zealand & my GP prescribed zopiclone 7.5mg for sleep.
I recently made the decision to stop using opiates and tapered myself off using some suboxone I had left over from an old prescription. I've never really gone this long without using AT ALL throughout the entire process, it's been about 2 weeks and I'm still feeling uncomfortable. Are there any at home remedies that will take the edge off a little bit? I've heard vitamins B and C, warm baths, bengay and heating pads, but is there anything else you guys recommend?
I felt fine the whole time while on suboxone (2 weeks) but a day or two after i came off of them i started feeling the oxycodone withdrawal again. My question is does suboxone just mask the withdrawals or do they actually eliminate them? I know im not having withdrawals from the suboxone because a year prior to this i tried it with one 8mg strip that lasted me 8 days and the same thing happened. Please help.
I was on suboxone for nearly 4 years and tried doing what you suggesting and quit off 2mg. The withdrawal was pure he!! just from 2 mg. Suboxone is very strong and has a half life of 37 hours, so the withdrawal is much longer and drawn out. I personally could not even taper and ended up going through an 8 day medical detox that was quite expensive, but to me it was worth every cent. Please taper down to below 1mg, it's best to quit suboxone at around .5mg for minimal withdrawal.
does suboxone affect pregnancy test at home, i've missed 4periods and urine home test says negative but i think i have pregnancy symptoms.
Well the question is why you are on suboxone in the first place. Are you working with a sponsor or are planning to come of opiates entirley? My question is if you are in so much pain from your Rheumatoid Artthritis, perhaps there is an alternative to manage your pain that you should be on, because with RA, even if your through detoxing the pain symtpoms will still be there and you may need to take medication.
On day 6 of suboxone withdrawal. Did my research and got Clonidine, St. John's Wart, Same 400mg, Passionflower, Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin B 6, Immodium. I am able to function but I cant stop the "crawling out of my skin condition". Try to laugh, pray, exercise, sauna, eat 3 meals, I don't know how much longer I can take it. "Suck it up" is starting to lose its meaning with time. Been on subs for more than a few years. Lost count.

This is a great place for support. Have you been tapering? And now you jumped at what mg? When was your last dose?
Unfortunate as it may sound, one way or another you will go though the process.
There is really no easy way of detoxing from home. I have dealt with hundreds of addicts who have all told me horror stories of doing it by themselves. I would only guess that if are successful in doing it at home you don't end up in my clinic.
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).
Read the Suboxone/Subutex FAQ's at the bottom of this Substance Abuse Community page. You can follow that until you get to 2mg. You are at a high dose and depending on how long you've used subs, you may want to stabilize there and do the rest of that taper at a slower rate. You will have to form your own schedule, as we cannot give schedules on this forum. Just remember that each dose lasts about 21 days and it accumulates over time.
I started doing coke on and off to stay awake because my nerves were so tore up from worrying about my middle son and then got back into pill and one day was like what am I doing so I knew a person who had suboxone and I could buy some to detox myself at home from pills.
But for right now, to deal with your withdrawal symptoms, see if your doctor can write you a prescription for some Requip for restlessness, Neurontin for anxiety and malaise, some Flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose, for sleep, Clonidine helps with the creepy-crawly feeling and helps stabilize the blood pressure. All of these medications will make your life easier during this time.
) it is generally short-lived; if you take the Suboxone as scheduled each day the withdrawal is usually gone by 3-4 days.
The third way is not for the faint of heart. I have done a couple of these inductions, for people who are on high doses of methadone and who failed tapering several times and who are desperate to get off the methadone. DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME!
