How Long Does It Take For The Withdrawals To Go Away After Taking Suboxone (Page 5)
(Newest replies first)

Hi, I was put on the 8 mg. strips at 3 per day in Oct. 2012..I used 3 per day for a couple of month's.. I quickly tapered down to 1&1/2 of the strip's per day..I got so tired of being on it so I began to stock pile it to withdraw on it at home.. I got down to 1-2 mg.s per day for about the past month and began yesterday (Monday) withdrawing..It's now Tuesday (July 9,2013) and still feel like I did yesterday.. No vomiting nor the big "D" but sweating, lethargic, chilling, feel achy, etc.. How long will it take for the withdrawal's to completely go away..PLEASE answer ASAP & THANKS....Oh, don't scare me about it because I'm all ready an emotional wreck..

A little back story first, I was on subs for six years, prescribed 12 mg however like many others abused it and took as much as 32 mg a day. Now to awnser your question, ittook 6 months to taper down to .75 and at that point being December 13 th I jumped. I experienced minimal withdrawals from day 1 1/2 to day 5, they worst of it came around day 12 and slowly started dissipating. The key for me was plenty of fluids and good food, I treated my body as if it were sick and did whatever I thought would help it. Aside from that chlonodine was a huge help with the RLS( which was the biggest hassle for me during this ordeal). Now I have 5 weeks under my belt and feel greaT, not quite 100% but I'm grateful I made it this far. The hardest part is mental, be strong anyone can do it if they part they're mind to it, a better version of ourself waits on the other side!!

How many mg are you jumping off from? I'm surprised you found a doc to prescribe a Benzo while have been on Subs. I have tried amny times to get off but the insomnia and depression are terrible!

I am on day 3 of withdrawal. It sucks. I have the worst anxiety ever, insomnia, and my eyes feel like they have been dialted from the eye dr. I cant focus on anything.This is my second time tryin to get off suboxone. The first time was way worse. I went to the emergencey room 3 times in two days. I lasted 8 days. Plus I have a four year old. So I feel so guilty for her. I try to do what I can but u cant . U lay down u have to get up, ur just never comfortable. I googled home remedies about anxiety and they had some ggood advice. This time around I got a prescription of lorazepam for my anxiety and a prescription of ambien. It has helped. Its so hard but u gotta stay posotive. Just take one day at a time. I'm goin to suceed this time. I am doin it for me and my daughter. I always felt like I was all alone. This website has helped me a lot.I wish everyone the best.

Hi, Shay!

A day or two really isn't enough for your body to process it out and get back to normal, after being on it for awhile. It will take about 4 to 6 weeks, though the symptoms will slowly ease up as more time passes.

Some of it will depend on you and how your body reacts to such things, so the time frame may be a little shorter or longer, there's no way for anyone to really say.

How are you feeling today?
