3 year sub user, legal, Dr vista $15, 56 strip a month 30. got on while pregnant for a three month habit. Dr should have never put me on it. got one surgery in 15 days, stopped cold turkey off 8.only withdrawals I have is hopeless anexity. I have 5 vicodens, 45 norcos for surgery 10mg, wondering if they will help with surgery pain. my Dr said 24 hours sub put of system. I took 4mg before class section, and was okay on high doses of morphine, very high. You can actually push sub off recepters. not sure where this 4 week crappie came from but it is a pain medication like any other... it is a far tingling habit but it is wonder drug for anxiety and being off all drugs but it is drug itself. wishes luck. day one. man I had 40 percocets and another med but gave away. wish I had to help me now get off. Need a real plan from a dream who can get me off.

Dear Jamnewstart. I am a 66 year old woman that was addicted to Oxycodone after two surgeries almost back to back. When I couldn't get off of the Oxy I decided to go to a suboxone dr; don't remember how I heard of it. I was on Subs for about two years and went to a detox clinic to get off of 1 to 1/2 mils a day with 3 Clonidine a day. I didn't go into withdrawals until the 7th day I was in this detox hospital. Then it all went down from there. I remained there for 15 days and was sent home. It wasn't too bad that first day home but got worse because I wasn't on the regimin I was on in the hospital. I went to my family doc and he gave me Vistaril and told me to continue taking Clonidine three times a day to keep my blood pressure down. I had to change to Ibusporin because I have asthma and cannot take anything with antihistimines. This is my 19th day off of Sub and I am still breaking into a lot of cold sweats; having to change my clothes every time because I get soaking wet and freeze even worse. How long I this supposed to last?

I know this post is a few months old but I wanted to commend your courage, unless it was totally your docs idea. I have withdrew of bupe/subs twice. First one was not bad cause I was only on 8mg for 60 days.

In August of 2013 I jumped off at 4mg after being on 12mg for 9 months. I think it causes dysphoria and opiod induced pain in some people on maintainence doses, which is why I quit without the medical "Optimum 1 year taper". It may be the only option for a small percentage of sub patients but I consider it cruel, dishonest, ignorant, and worst of all.a "rackett" to make money. Anyways my buperenorphine withdrawal. cost me my job and I almost put a .22 threw my opioid malfunctioning brain. Pure *medical ignorance seemenly placing opiate "addicts" on a level that would make an Indian pheasant seem like the King of England. Its a racketeering madness coruot dangerous method thats ruining opiate dependents lives as well as their families and the American integrety worst of all.

I have been on every opiate for at least 30 days, save oxymorphone, and cold turkey almost everytime. Usually cause the DEA scares the doctor into bad medical decisions. Besides cold-turkey 80mg/9 mo. methadone treatment Bupe is the worst, for me, by far especially emotionally.

My pain is real, from a Spinal Cord Injury at Cervical 3 and fractures C2/C4 vertabrae. my pain was managed immpeccably impatient for four months cause the Dr. had little "liability" Once I left physical rehab it was if the pain was supposed to just vanish. The doc had me on 3 80 oxycontin with norco and 15mg roxi forbreakthrough. It numbed me out but was way too much which was not that bad. When I was discharged he put me on a one month O.C. taper with 5mg oxy for bteakthrough and cut me off 100% from the 2-6 mg of xanax I was on for four months. Anyways, I hope you and others who read this will educate themselves on opiods for your and your families well-being.

So back to the Bupe bulls***. I was clean for 8 months thinking my moderate to severe chronic pain would ajust using my bodies endegenous opiods. After 8 months of living a depressing, unfullfilling, and helpless life I went back to my "Pain Specialist" or the DEA and hospitals b****. I explained my pain was not improving and that I didnt want the Devil's drug methadone and Bupe only helped my pain noderatly at best and caused serious emotional side effects. Almost as uf was a robot programed by the maker of subutex he said I can only give you Bupe and "maybe" tramadol PRN. I was desperate for relief so without a proper adult to adult conversation I did what most people do and trust everything the doctor does, although you both know what would work best for your pain from your experiance.

Almost done........Its been 3 months on 8/day. I went to him two weeks ago knowing I had to get off of this dirty, fairly weak, untried long-term drug. I gave him your idea of switching to a moderate dose of a full agonist opiod for 2-3 weeks and see what happends. My limited pharmacology background told me it would at worst cause me to withdrawal for 3 days from the oxy or whatnot.

Apparrently after 12 years of medical school and 20 years practicing primairly anesthesiology his brain couldnt compute what was the obvious best medical decision available. Instead he told be it was my addictive personality syndrome that created the idea and put me on a 60 day taper and assures there would be no withdrawal even though he has my jumping off point at 1mg. So now I have to use my unique abilities to lie and manipulate doctors so I can manage getting off Bupe without losing a month or more of my life.

If we can get a few of us that have open-minded, sensical, and most importantly humble Doctors to get off sub maintainence using short acting or long acting full agoinist opiods I believe we can convinve the DEA and their b****es in the narcotic prescribing medical fields that this should be the first option when getting off the quite Unknown opiod called Buprenorphine.

Just a last note I got 20 norcos and hope to have my doctor write for 60 or so more. If not Im never touching bupe again so MY best option would be to buy a gram if tar and make it last 7-10 days. Crazy to think that route is most likley physically and emotionally heathier.

Man I need to talk about this with someone...thank goodness I'm seeing a dr on Monday. I've been fighting the good fight on and off H for three years and this last time ditched the cold turkey route and decided to give subs a shot. I work in the medical field and my job would not allow time off required for a cold turkey kick. I've been on a new sub med called zubsolv and I feel like I've been run over at all times. Every bone in my body feels broken, unless is exercise vigorously and even that only provides about half an hr of relief. I'm in so much pain my cravings for relief are skyrocketing. It's truly horrifying. Thanks for the insight you provided...I need to look into pain management if the dr I see in a couple days can't help me get off of this stuff without trauma to my body.

My life is getting harder in every way and other periods of sobriety have not been like this...I fear this med is dark in nature...just feels like everything is crumbling around me. At least I know I'm not the only person on earth going through this

I have been on Suboxone 8mg 2x a day for almost 7yrs. I was on pain meds for the lower back afta car accident, just like many of you, &couldn't get off. But it's been an endless hell being on Sub's. Is the Dr gonna be in...is insurance gonna clear me?? Too many anxiety ridden problems every month, waiting to see if I'd get my meds or not. Sick of this fight, &with 2 children that need my full attention. ..trying to get off. Tried tapering and wasn't working. As soon as I felt sick, I'd go and take some. Now I'm on day 5 of cold turkey. I've been on Xanax for almost 9yrs now(since my fiancé passed away from an accident). So it's not really helping the way it would if I just went on it. I felt better on day 3, I really thought I could do this. Now on day5 and feeling more and more sick....when does this start to feel better?!?! I've heard soo many different responses to this. If someone has any advice, or has done cold turkey, and an approx idea of how long I'm going to feel this bad..it would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!

I truly appreciate your responses. I'm on day 6...and can't say that it's any better yet. The RLS is exhausting, my stomach is always turning and I'm trying to concentrate on my little ones. They help give me hope that it's gonna get better. I have a handful of vicodin 10's...but I refuse to give in and take them, feel better for a day, and then start this fight all over again. I just hope some sort of relief comes soon. I hope you are all hanging in and doing well! Good luck and God Bless!!! If anyone starts feeling any relief, or even if your still feeling horrible, please write something to keep me in the game. I don't want to feel alone in this crazy fight. Thanks.
