Suboxone Withdrawal-how bad?

[Old foggie]

I had a pretty bad oc habit-maybe 150mg/day snorted. Now i got hold of some Suboxones and Im taking maybe I per day and I feel OK but i should have quit these after a week.
NOw i think im in trouble-Im finding it real hard to stop taking these things as long as I have them. Im probably going to wind up taking them til I run out which wont be for amonth or more -then the fun begins-Any advice?
What kind of hell will I go through w/d'ing from the Suboxones-Thanks!

You won't have any withdrawls from them. I just got done taking suboxone myself and I feel fine. It's designed to gradually taper out of your system, it takes about a week actually. This way, it gives your body a chance to get use to the change instead of doing it suddenly. If you don't believe me, try taking oxycontin about 3-4 days after your last dose of suboxone, it won't work because the sub is still in your system. Good luck.

i had a motorcycle wreck in aug.2000 and was in U.T. hospital for 13 days the Drs called the family in twice and said i would never be the same. I have recovered well but started taking lorecet for the past 6+ years until my family DR. had a heart attack i have no insurance and cannot afford it due to the past injuries then i met Dr. Mike Chavin in Morristown he has got me addicted to Roxycottin i have been taking 120+ a month for the last 6 months last week he wrote me my final perscipion i want to stop taking them but i cant can anyone help me?

Emory, you have other problems. Apparantly you suffer from being a grade A MORON. there is NO Roxycontin. There is Roxicodone which is a branded name for Roxanne Labs version of Instant Release Oxycodone.

Secondly, a Doctor cannot get YOU addicted. Addiction is a psychological event and the only one who controls your actions is YOU.

A Doctor can prescribe you opiates that you can become dependent on. Most chronic pain patients on opiates will become dependent on them. All that means is that if the meds are abruptly stopped, you will suffer withdrawal.

But Withdrawal does NOT mean addiction.

Addiction is when you take more than you are instructed to.

Addiction is when you Doctor shop or buy more meds on the street.

Addiction is when you take the meds for non-pain relief reasons.

A Doctor cannot make you take your meds for the wrong reasons. A Doctor cannot make you Doctor shop.

A Doctor cannot make you addicted. That cxredit goes entirely to YOU and YOU alone, bud.

Until you take full responsibility, you probably will not be able to stop.

I have heard on here that w/d from subs is as bad as oxys.

[edubs]

It simply depends upon how long you take the subs. If taken over a short period of time (one week =/-) you'll probably not suffer w/d. If however, on the other hand, you take subs for over six months, as I did, you WILL SUFFER, as I am currently suffering. Here's how it goes: Day 1 of no subs, slightly slugish. Day 2: Twice as bad, and gets worse as the day progresses. Day 3-4: death can't come quickly enough, nor can sleep, as that is a luxury long since past. Day 5: still sucks, but slightly better. Day 6: Off and on good and bad. Day 7: Still slugish, feels a little better, can't tell if the lack of energy is from w/d or the lack of sleep. Day 8: I've no idea, as that day, for me, is tomorrow. That being said, the one universal truth that I am currently holding near and dear is that from here on out, every day SHOULD get a little better. Long story short, subs are great in moderation. It's a painful lesson I'll not soon forget.

suboxone is an opiate. just like any other opiate there will be withdrawl upon cessation of use. how much depends on how long you took it and at what level you decide to jump off. you need to taper as low as you possiby can before attempting to jump off. you would be surprised at how small you can cut those 2mg pills. the good news is the taper itself is pretty easy, relatively speaking. just trying to jump off an 8mg dose would be very unpleasant. taper, taper, taper
