Too late; I sure do wish I had a Doc like that! Mine looked me dead in the eye 5 days in a row & never once told me about PAWS. He just me think I was losing it. See, I was surrounded by other patients at this inpatient facility; they were all being cured of their opiate addiction...right? I found out about PAWS right here. And I thank you all. 99.9% of all doctors are narcissists. Helping people, especially low income people just part of their agenda.

I was dropped without notice from my dr after 18months of 16mg daily of subs so its cold turkey for me. I agree with the greedy Doctors mine has 2 private planes. He is making a killing off our wanting to change our lives for the better. I am preparing for the worst withdrawls since all I have took for 3yrs is subs and with kids this should be hell.

Thank you for this thorough plan. I just started suboxone one week ago and I'm scared to go through with it, but I'm withdrawing from 540 roxy 30mg/month, 540 methadone 10mg/month, and 120 percs 7.5/month, but I'm still taking 120 2mg Xanax /month due to severe anxiety attacks and seizures. The cut me of my pain meds with no plan or anything so I had to resort to the suboxone. I would love to know the doctors to speak to about getting off of it all safely without digging myself into a bigger hole. I'd love to speak with you about my concerns {edited for privacy}. I'm in the Cincinnati area. Please help!

Weaning down from Suboxone now. Have been taking them for 9 months to wean off Vicodin. I have never taken a higher dose than 2 mg a day. I started cutting down 10 days ago and today is my first day on 1 mg, .5 twice a day. My plan is to drop my dosage 25% every 6 -7 days until I am taking 0. I also plan on skipping days when I get to .25 until I am only taking the .25 once, every 4 days. I ordered some natural vitamins that are susposed to help with the w/d's and plan on starting them tomorrow. I am not too concerned about the nights as I already take sleep meds that are prescribed. I am more concerned with the depression that I know is going to happen no matter how low or slow I cut down before stopping. I rode this roller coaster once before on a very fast Suboxone (7days) taper to get off pain pills before and I thought I was going to be committed because of the deep depression. I'm praying that since I have educated myself more (on cutting down slowly and taking supplements and exercising) that j will be able to accomplish it for good this time. I'm over 50 and the fear of needing emergency surgery and the pain meds not working because of the sub, scares the sh*• out of me! Any pointers from anyone for the last week of tapering, once I get there, is greatly appreciated.

I believe that the worst experience of withdrawal was subs..I would go thru the dope sickness 100 times before experiencing that again..I am here for you..if you need anything.. {edited for privacy}. But sadly..it has been since last July..and it seems I have been having an unquenchable craving for it lately..ugh!! I had to move states away to escape it..and now cold turkey from everything and it keeps calling my name! ;[

I'm sorry but that is just replacing one drug for three others. Xaxax is hell coming off of, also. But so is buprenorphine. In my experience, you must ween off of bupe. You should be taking pieces you never would have picked up off the floor before. Miniscule amounts. I swear it helps. You get a real grasp of how potent this junk is when you taper to the extreme. And even then, you don't start getting better until you completely quit taking it. My experience and I've been through it a few times. It's a terrible drug. The worst in my opinion.

To anybody out there, subs are the BEST way to get off opiates. I was a long time addict with oxy and hydro around 100+mg a day. I kicked it with about half a strip at a time. Twice a day. Never felt better. Performing better at work. Friends and family are closer than ever. And I don't hate myself. God that's the best part is that I love myself now... Good luck everyone God bless.

I am on day two of being off Suboxone I wean myself down to almost a tiny little flake from 2 mg tabs. I started off taking 24 mg a day. So you can imagine it's been a very very long battle. But lately I feel like my restless leg syndrome has gotten so much worse that I can't sleep at all. The saddest thing is that I'm a mom and I have to take my young daughter to school. I feel like Iwant to help because I don't want to go back. So I was wondering if you would give me the name of your doctor? Or do you think that I should keep going the way i am.?

Thank You Savannah, I am going through something similar, I was in a bad accident the Dr put me on roxicodone for 2 years, I wanted to get off of that so he put me on methadone, I found it very difficult taking methadone I went to another doctor, put me on suboxone 2 years ago. I tried talking to my doctor months ago on how to get off the 8 milligram strips ofsuboxin they told me to take it for a week then don't take it for 2 days take it for a week don't take it for 2 days lower the dose it didn't work for me. I finally wean myself down to less than 2 milligrams twice a day 4 days ago I started cold turkey and I'm having a little bit of a hard time I have epilepsy and I do have dilantin which helps me with the notion of having a seizure, but I hope in 14 days everything settles down and I can become a normal person again. Your article made the most sense I do recommend to anybody who's trying to get off of Suboxone please do it through a doctor god bless all of you and please pray for me

And it's definitely from stopping the meds!! It can't be a coincidence that I have blood in my urine too...and they can't give me 1 reason as to why I'm in such pain and y my organs aren't functioning properly. I swear, as soon as they know u once were an "addict" or know about Suboxone, they treat u completely different!! I have to go back bc my body has filled up with 40lbs of water weight...they said Edema +4...I woke up looking like a blimp and it hurts soo bad to move. But they said if Lasix won't get the water out I could seizure. I feel ure pain soo much!!! I wish u had my cell number, so u could text me whenever, & I wouldn't miss a message...like I did this week!! Gotta figure out a way! We're too much in the same boat&going through the exact same thing. I cant believe I've been going through it cold turkey for weeks now and still feel horrible!! It's a nightmare! &Brian I hate to burst your bubble...but the 1st couple of days, u feel not that bad at all...once I hit day 5, that's when I was ready to have someone hit me over the head to get rid of the extreme sickness. But Lost and Looking 68..I'm here whenever you need to talk!!! Please get a second opinion from a different doctor!! Let me know how it goes. Much Luck, Love, & God Bless!!! Hang in there!!!

Stay strong brother,I been on this crap for 2-3months now,the Dr. Cut my dose and I been one step ahead of him. I'm down to a strip a day. I'm prescribed 1 1/2 ,I haven't had any for 24 hrs now and I feel fine. I'm wondering if it's going to hit me too. I've just been pray'n that I want to be clean from all this stuff. With perseverance and a little help from the Lord I think will be fine you just have to have the desire to be free from all of it and the rest of it will come to pass.

Hi MOMCOLDTURKEY, I'm actually doing horrible. There's something wrong with my kidneys from when they switched my medicine. I went to the doctor and he gave me Aleve and a steroid. I'm in excruciating pain and there is nothing that I can do. I had blood in my urine about a week ago and I thought it was my period but its not. My doctor doesn't even want to listen to me he thinks its muscular pain. It's not. Sorry I can't make you feel any better today because I am in pain and crying. I don't know what to do I think I'm just going to have to go to the hospital. I stopped taking that other medicine too so I'm going through withdrawal. I think it has something to do with it. Other med is like since. I figured if I'm going to go to the hospital and have to get some sort of procedure I might as well not be in pain for the procedure. I am taking my klonapin. It's the only thing holding me down.

Lost and Looking, I completely agree!! I wish I could give u my email, cell or even my first name!! How can we get around this sites precautions?? I'd like to keep in contact for sure. We have a lot in common!!! How are you hanging in today?? And for u others that just joined in...trust me, I know it's no walk in the park!! I tell everyone I know that they have never been sick unless they've tried goin cold turkey off of Sub's!! It's physically, mentally and spiritually draining!! My friend said after the 2&1/2 month point..is when he finally started to feel not just better, but renewed! I'm not even a quarter of the way, so for me it seems like an endless battle. But damn it's gonna be a battle I'm gonna win!! I have to take each day as it comes. The Only thing that remotely helps is the xanax. But then I feel like, "damn...ure just switching 1 for the other!" But I need something for now, or I'm gonna give in! I'll worry about weaning off that when the time comes. How is everyone hanging in today??!! Need to hear some encouragement!!! I hate feeling alone in this. Especially when you have the duties of being a mom always weighing on your mind. And I pride myself on doing everything I can for them. And this is definitely one of um!! And girl, u've gone 2 months!!!! Do u have any clue what an amazing accomplishment that is?!?! Don't go back and make it all have been for nothing!! Ure now at the home stretch! My boy said just a little further and ure gonna feel a huge difference!!! Good Luck to all & God bless!! P.s. Lost and Looking, if u figure out a way we can get around having to go through the site...I'd love to know your name and vice versa! :-) U've been an amazing support through all this!!! Thank you again!!!

I had to go to the mental hospital to get detoxed of my suboxones. It had been two months and I'm still crawling or if my skin and that was worst emotional depression I've every been in. That Funk still is not debunked; ( I moved 500 miles Away from all I knew here to Nashville and I find myself looking at every gas station or stop I make to see if anyone had the look where I may score something. I really need to know what I should do. Relapses ate becoming too old. I've tried real hard these past two months.. But our feels like I'm running against the wind. .
