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.

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! ;[

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.

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!

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.

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'm 57. Due to injuries I was out on fentanyl, then spent the past 7 years on 8 mg daily Subs. With one of those creepy doctors that just wants your $175 bucks to $200 out the door you go. The new wave of addiction doctors doing nothing but writing you a script that he will probably keep you until you balls up, and say look, everything I ask about getting off your rude, or skips the conversation. Until I got tired of it and started doing research myself on it. Holy hell, this jerk, kept me on this way to long. So to shorten this up, I tapered myself down for seven months then jumped month and a half ago. My GP is helping me with Ambein, just started it, but for two days now all it's did was nothing. Yes I have all the usual were all complaining about. The legs, the tossing and turning like a crazy man, night sweats. Obviously Ambein isn't working so need to tell him about that. But don't expect anything from the ones that keep you on it way to long or get pissy with you? When you ask and say, man, hey do you have a Exit plan for getting off this? He'll mostly do what mine did when I go slot got in his scrawny little face. No I don't. Bam got with my GP, who just got his License, and said nick we will be glad to help you try. 95% crash out rate though, because it's so new and most doctors just don't know what to do, but prescribe.

He's a cool younger doctor, knows I'm a straight shooter so he's trying to figure out day by day with me. I'll calm him tomorrow and say the Ambein doesn't work. And he will go down a list of different meds he think might help. But everyone's different. I suffer no depression just flu like symptoms, and my lower legs are bad. All I can say is get a careening new doctor research and go in knowing what your talking about, and quite possibly they'll be there the whole way with you through this horrible process. And I mean a staffed doctors office, not a Sub doctors, that just crank out the scripts all day to us. Oh it's great stay on it forever. When your ready to get off its real easy just let me know. But hey that's a question for down the road. Yeah right way done the road. For us. Well for now running out of room so that's enough for today. Get that night sleep trazodone, tramadol, and something for like said sleep. Remember these are going to be light doses and short scripts. Month should get you through the hardest days and nites. It's a battle no doubt but don't listen to neg reports on it. It can be done. Just need a cool doctors office open to his heart and not opening up his wallet. They're out there. Good luck. Oh and depression, I take 50 mg of Effexor working great for me. Lethargic feelings are long too. Hey I'm still in this with you all. Like I said just got the Ambein, so no sleep tonight because for some reason, or reasons it's now working. Next plan now doc. All the best everyone.

Same with me ,tramdol light dose month only ,hey it's new to all these doctors . But diff don't go back to the Sub doctors because he just wants your money . Also ask for some Ambein or trazadone to add to the lists. Eat force your self out magnesium baths salts help too. Even can use Vicks rub a big ol glob on your feet,it then moves up to your calves and up to those deep achs you feel , put on pair white socks on.that helped me and always ask for short term scripts they should see your sincere with that. Just that first month is worst. Tell your doctor from your heart and not a Sub doctor ,who's just a lair anyways . But to a GP you know. I'm established in mine ,so they'll here me out and diff listen . If not ? Walk out find another out there with a heart l you can do this and will

I have literally run out of words to express my "intense dislike, lol" of Buprenorphine & all its incarnations. Kick whatever you're on; it will be much easier. (Speaking from experience & I'm not talking about a few Lortabs. I'm taking about the Big Stuff.) Coming off a very small dose of subs (2mgs or less) for a very short time-4 months, tapering to 1/32 at the end, STILL brought me to my knees. It's a very strong OPIATE. Just because there is no "high" does not mean that it has not bonded tightly to your mu receptors & will leave quickly & without major withdrawal.
There are things that helped me: Gabapentin, Clonidine, water & Gatorade, loperamide, and mostly (& I hated it, EXERCISE. I had to sweat it out painfully) I had to see a PCP & get Linisopril & propanol because it affected my blood pressure. I was was also lucky enough to get Librium.
Opiate withdrawal is a terrible, horrible thing & I believe that Buprenorphine can be an amazing "stepping stone." It is, NOT a maintenance drug. For that purpose, methadone is much more economical & the withdrawal is nearly identical.
Chronic pain patients, please disregard this post, sorry.

Ok everyone, I'm here to tell you that most of the doctors that give subs out are not in it to help us! Mostly because it's a easy 8 hour, believe it or not, freaking online course. I am a former Army Ranger. I give you my word I won't lie or steer anyone into the wrong place, or do you dirty with garbage talking! Also I live in San Jose, Ca. The whole GP office I go to? They're there to help us / you out. If you have insurance Medicare / medical disabled etc etc Healthy Familes is the place part of the O'connor hospital system here! I'll tell you exactly how I'm doing it!! I'm slowly beating it, but doing it. Least amount of discomfort as possible. {edited for privacy}. Hope they help us all! Thanks medschat.

Rick ,it's fine if you need to the Suboxone ,just don't say on it long its worse then say ,in my case Fenytanl . I know it's a pardox me saying that. But the real point ,is just don't stay on it long ,or take more then 8 mg. actually if he's giving you more ,he's just making it worse . If you can cut it down ,so its a 2 mg , the better. But I don't know your whole position ,so you would have to write me if they print my email address , Also it's may 16,2015 some of these are old. People get off then just say frack it ,I'm not wanting to talk about it again. And I feel for them .Which I don't Blame anyone for doing that . I guess it will come like that for us too. we have to move on and your just over it all,you know . But I'm here for now . Ask away

So far so good. I used subs for 4 days, about 1/8 strip every 5-6 hours when I'd start feeling wd's from the pills I was using. Now it's all about willpower not to use. Obviously. I want to thank everyone for sharing your experiences, struggles, and opinions. I pray that each of you succeed and get well. Do not give in, you can do it. I hope we all make it through to the other side. In the struggle...

Today is day 14 for me. I honestly don't know why I ever started pills or even soboxin , I guess because I thought it made me happier with life. I managed a bank, had a household to maintain and four kids total that I had to take care of and it helped as horrible as that sounds or atleast I thought it did. I never thought I'd let a substance take control of my body but who does? I was so emotional for the first week and it slowly got better , but today I finally see the light. When I came off of it I didn't mean to at that moment I was going through major stuff and four days later I realized wow I haven't taken anything for four days and decided no more. My advice if you get emotional like myself have a support system because you need someone to show you that things will get better and to stop beating yourself up and don't eat Taco Bell. I do have a question though, tomorrow morning I am going into surgery and am afraid that the medication won't help with the pain at all because it's only been 14 days but I was down to a small dose once a day a strip would last 2-3 almost 4 weeks. I have one script for antibiotics , muscle relaxers and demoral , does anyone know if the fact that it will be day 15 whether the medication will help the pain because it's tomorrow and I am so scared that it won't ?

I've been on suboxone since it first came out.I've been on forty milligrams a day starting out, colotipin, and all sorts of other drugs. I tried to get my life back and start cutting hair and even running and working out again. It all came crashing down. I was still broke inside! I quit for 51 days. I had two seizures since then, I'm struggling, I'm scared, I want to stop and I can't. I'm dying inside and never have felt this f***ed up. I'm strong, but I'm getting my ass kicked. idk what to do, no drug or human can help me! I did this to myself. I pray I can do this, my life depends on it.
