How To Get Off Suboxone (Page 27) (Top voted first)

Im Marina Im 24 years old and a mother of 2 beautiul little boys. From the years 2006-2007 i was heavily addicted to Oxy 80 and eventually started doing herion. I got help in sep.2007 at a methadone clinic, it worked for as long as i was on the methadone i had NO relapse's. In June 2009 i was completly off of the methadone that first day that i was on 0Mgs I went through extreme withdrawls i went through things that i would never wish upon my worst enemy! i stayed that way for a day and a half and decided to go to a suboxone doctor. He put me on 32 mgs a day which i thought was pretty high of a dose but he explained to me that methadone withdrawls was worst then any other withdrawls. so i trusted him. Now when i go to see him every month i pretty much beg for him to start the weining process and start lowering me and he pretty much refuses. After months of being on 32mgs a day he finally started tapering me down slowly, i never really thought any thing of it till now but i realized he's keeping me on the suboxne for as long as posible so that he can get my $200.00 a month. all he is, is a legal drug dealer bc now im highly addicted to the suboxone. I recently had to go a few days with out my suboxone bc i didnt have the money to see him and i went through hell. i thought methadone withdrawl was bad OMG there is no comparison. i wanted to either use which i havent done in years or rip my face off lol its funny now but it definatley wasnt funny a few days ago while i was feeling that way! So i spoke to a good friend whos going through the same thing and he told me that they just came out with a new pill to get you off suboxone. I just want to know if that's true. I tryed googleing it but i cant find any thing. If you have heard of this new pill please respond or if you even have a good way to get off soboxone as painless and posible... thanx

Jill the key is taper very slow and to as little as possible eating food that gives you energy exercise or just doing some activity to motivate you and taking vitamins really helps i have been going through this for almost a year and a half now i fail because i dont keep to my plan but it because of me not the plan this time is going way better im doing all the things i suggested and its night and day compared to other times ive tried

Hey Jill, Sprinkle is right about going slow and also the excercise. Even when you don,t feel like it just a walk around the block makes you feel better.
I read somewhere that it gets your endorphines going or something like that. I,m really not sure what it does but it helps.

I don't know if anyone can help me with this. But, I have Hep C. Most likely from using a dirty needle or sharing a needle. My sub doctor told me that I should stay on suboxone while I'm on hepatitis treatment. He said being on subs won't make you feel as s***ty than compared to just doing the treatment alone. Does anyone know about this or have heard this? Thanks for your input!

actually such a pill would b a godsend, iv been stuck in just the suboxone cycle for almost 10 years now, n iv gotta say, for me at least its the hardest thing to come off of by far!! methadone is a close second but i was only on that for about 3 or 4 months. im stuck back on this FU**IN suboxone with no end in sight n im all the way down to 2 mg once a day, i jus cant do the final jump its complete hell!!! i dont kno y my body takes it so hard and i cant b the only one, if i could, i would honestly go back to my dope n pill habit to get off this junk but i cant even begin to afford that now, i get the boxen thru the state for free (i hate sayin that, sry to everybody whos gotta pay out the ass for em :/ i wish i could help) but like i said it would b a godsend if a pill came out to get u off ssuboxone

I have studdy this and find ibogaine is the real deal. There is a clinic in Toronto Canada, its$3000 I believe for 3-4 days and they aren't urs side 24:7 to make sure u have no problems. Plz google it! It's been used for thousands of years and it does reset ur brain back too the day before u ever touched drugs. And no withdrawls or relapse .
once I have the money , I am going to go too it and also a few of my friends! I have one friend that's done it , it's now been a month and no problems. He is brand new, as the day before he touched the evil stuff!

Its hard to believe how difficult this is, I am down to one mg a day.....still extreme hell to jump off, nearly death feelings and must function faily w kids, a must. Do I understand. Exercise is amazing, wish I would have started running sooner. Really does help make you have energy and feel good. Justa ten to fifteen minute run helps increase endorphin s. And its a myth that you sweat out your meds. Not true.. interesting chat bout ibogaine. ..hudidnt know this..

Hi Jill, Not sure if you were talking to me. I,ve come off subs several times in the past. My problem has allways been staying straight afterwards. I,ve tapered about the same way and jumped off at around .5mg to .25mg. The most important thing is to taper slowly and just cutting dose a little bit at a time when you get below three or four mgs.
Don,t taper until your body feels comfortable on whatever dose your on. Then when you drop a quarter or half mg wait again until your body gets used to it.
Don,t rush it.

I only have about a 3/4 strip right now so I will work with what I have. Are u sayin after 4 days of not taking it I will feel the wd? I have klonopins that I can take and ill buy some tylenol pm. I already take the klonopin so I have a tolersnce so it may not help. I'm on uas so I can only come up hot for benzos since I have a script. What can I take to help me sleep that won't come up in a ua? Seriously, ur sayin 4 dsys later the wd comez on even after only taking .25? Oh no. I'm scared. I can't drink either. I'm on etgs. I can't go back to jail and I have this secret.my boyfriend and family don't know I've been on subs since Sept. 1mg. But I will do what u say and cut it. Into tiny pieces. Thank u.

Thanks Jill. I just found out the other day that there is new treatment for hep C. No more taking 3 pills a day and no more poking yourself in the tummy with a needle. All you take is one pill a day for however long. I hope Froedtert has this new treatment. Either way, I'm nervous. But thank you!

Hi Feliciano, You gotta go slow and when your on higher doses you can take bigger tapers and not feel them too much but when you get down low like 2 or 3mgs you have to do little tapers like .25 or .5mgs because you really start to feel it then. You should never go down on dose until you feel comfortable on whatever dose your on. I got this info from an honest sub dr. I had once.
Hey Jill, Everyones different when it comes to wds. I never felt much of anything when jumping off subs until around day 4 but some folks will start to feel wd right away. Don,t know what to suggest for sleep. Allthe OTC stuff never really worked for me. They do for some people though.

Jill i went to the dr yesterday and we discussed me getting off the suboxone and he said it would take me a year im taking 16mgs now and he wants to start weening me down the first step is down to 12mgs then 8mgs then 6 to 4 to 2 to 1to .5 then to.25mgs thats how he is going to do me that 6 weeks on each he said he would give me a list of vitamins to start taking and some exercise to start somewhere around 6 months to go and he said if at anytime i felt like i needed more time on any step we would do that also he said that is how he does all his patients and they had very little discomfort some none at all but its the easiest and most reliable i wish you well pray for me ive already degan doing mine im at 8mgs now but the dr dont know. I wanted to try myself first.

Hey Sprinkle, it sounds like a good plan. Jolter keeps saying how important it is to go slowly. I think that is key to success. I wish you all the best in your efforts to get off of it. We are all rooting for you and each other.
