How To Get Off Suboxone (Page 32) (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

I think the easiest way to go is once you and your gf get down to a quarter and your on that daily for about two or three weeks I would stop and get some tramadol because that takes the edge off. I just got to 20 days off and ended up taking it again because I have a lot going on and I still had no strength. It is going to take at least a month to start feeling a little normal...depending on how long you have been on it. I have been on it for about 7 years and it just gets harder the longer you are on it.
Good luck to both of you and your gf.
If you also have anyway you can get something g for sleep I would do that too. The first two weeks were smooth sailing for me but it got worse as the days went on.
I will keep you all in my prayers!

I hope that works for you, trust me I have a ton of faith, I work out and eat healthy and I take supplements and I got 20 days off and day 21 couldn't take it anymore.
Let me know if this works for you, I only take .50 a day but just can't seem to get off. The first two weeks were not bad at all then it kicked in pretty bad and I couldn't take another minute of it. I think I just kept holding onto hope that the next day would be better but it just never got better...so if you are taking something that may help you let us all know.
I hope this does work so you can share this with us.

Does anyone know of something to take for the leg cramps? I still get them everyday even taking the .50

No I wasn't even uncomfortable yet and I've tried many times and failed! but I'm using l tyrosine, cell food oxygen formula for fast detox...gets it out the body much faster...along with l glutathione, Sam e, amino acids, vitamins and Minerals, don't ignore the mineral part! Also vitamin b complex droplets, no pill form, ph balanced water, juice fasting, no real food, no meat, and exercise. emphasize liver detox formulas through herbal or cell foods liquid oxygen(nasty) but it works!

Hi everyone! I'm clean 3 weeks and a day. I feel like I have my mind back but, the body still gets tired. I'm not understanding why here and there I still get those chill sweats. I get about 6 hours of sleep. I pray that the worst is behind me. I'm not taking any meds. Only a Multi-vitamin. I notice that nothing taste the same and on week 2, underneath my tounge where I'd put my subs, felt weird. It's now back to normal. I feel like I saved my life getting off the things. I'd say I'm about 90%.... Good luck to everyone and thank you so much for the support and kind words.

Ok look here's how you get off the sub I'm doing it now and it's working. Go to doc tell him u want colondine , belerium and Zanex .. You take as prescribed for about 7 days and your done.. Now you take 4 belerium for 4 days along with two colondine twice a day and Zanex 1 every 4 to 6 hours .. You will feel week and tired but trust me it's solid man .. It's been two days that I stopped sub and man I'm doing it and feeling fine. This method was told to me by my daughter who do the same method this s*** works big time .. Do it man sub is bad s***. My doc refused to do this for me so I told her wtf your bucked up .. She wanted me to keep paying her for 6 months to ween me off .. Buck that .. Please try this people set yourself free

Thank you Jolter,
I do take magnesium everyday but I am not a big banana lover, I will try to eat some though.

About the supplements, milk thistle is a good one to clean out your liver but I am going to try the one you recommend as well.

Subsuck that is awesome you got to three weeks, that is right where I got to and I gave up because I was still so weak. I am glad to hear you are getting your energy back because I just felt like it was never going to happen.
I am very encouraged and I am getting Ready to start this over again. I only take a half of a mg a day but it just stinks that little piece controls my life.

Thank you all for posting on here cause it helps!

Hey Subsuck, That's great news, I,m glad to hear your sleeping. That's allways been a problem for me in the past coming off subs. Exercise help promote endorphins so stay active if you can.
Worst is behind you, keep going!

All of those and more...read above as I posted everything there. And normally by day 3 I feel like utter crap...I don't feel bad at all...I do have clonodine though...take one a day...no Benzo at all...don't need them! Get clonodine from doctor or ER...I got them online though from another country...telling you it's not just the clonodine that's helping... it's everything...just waiting for my adrenal supplements in the mail so I can feel 100%. I've tried this many times with no success. Most of all .. ph water called Essential... get that...I'm also juicing using pineapples, watermelon, coconut juice, and drinking that once a day.

Bananas or potassium for leg cramps. Bananas especially help calm the nervous system down. Read my other responses to people you will see what I'm taking and using. I'm day 3 no subs and feel better than any other time I've tried to do this...and I've tried at least 5 times and failed.

Hi Michele, To minimize wds don,t rush it. Taper slow and steady. Under 4mg a day do not drop more than 1mg at a time unitl your down to 1mg. Once there drop to .5 than .25mg.
The important thing is that each time you drop you got to wait at least a whole week or more. This gives the long half life of subs a chance to catch up.
From 4mgs your talking at least a month and a half to get down to where you could jump after a week on .25mg. Hope that makes sence.

Michelle I agree with Jolter you have to take your time. I actually waited longer than a week between drops because my body takes so long to start feeling ok with it. I would say you just have to drop every time you start feeling better, if you drop too quickly you will definitely feel the pain.

I also think it's a state of mind too, if you are ready to get off and determined it will be much easier on you. I tried several times and I just wasn't fully ready and because of that it was much harder. I hope everything goes well for you, keep checking this site because everyone always puts some really great ideas that work on here.

Good luck

I have been on suboxone for almost two years due to being addicted to tramadol , I have been cutting down myself my dr doesn't seem to think I should get off the sub saying the relapse rate is to high. A year ago I agreed with her but now I'm so very much stronger and very much determined to get off this stuff completely. I can't even stand the god awful taste anymore. So what I've been doing is taking about half a film roughly 4 mg every two days I have only five full strips left and don't want to go back to see my dr because I know she will only discourage me getting off it . Is it possible for me to get off of theses subs with having only 5 films left also without any withdraws that would only lead to getting back on them I desperately need advice and with all my heart I totally want off of theses drugs I'm a 54 yr old wife and mother of two boys one 20 the other 21 they are great kids and thank god don't do any drugs other then smoke pot but think all the other drugs everyone is doing is totally crazy and a waste of theyer life and my husband along with them all support me and know my sincerity in being more then ready and determined to be done with this ugluy part of my life .so any help you can offer in getting off of suboxone would be truly appericated

Robin,
I encourage you to co tinue with trying to get off of them but you will most likely have to see your doctor again. You can not jump from taking 4 mg to nothing, you have to do it slowly or else you will want to relapse. I suggest you start taking 3 mg a day for about a week then 2 and so on until you get to .25 or .50 mg then try to get off from there.
I am shocked any doctor put you on suboxone because of tramadol...that is mind blowing! Anyway you are going to have to taper down until you are almost at nothing without feeling sick. You haven't been on too long so I think you should be ok.
I stopped when I was on for about 2 years but I am back on and have been on for 7 years, I am only on .50 mg a day but that last but is killing me. The half life is so long as well that the first week or so you may think you are doing well then it hits you pretty hard.
I wish you the best of luck!
Cheri

I just saw your post about getting off of suboxone. I'm desperate. First of all. ... I've been on it for so long simply because I thought I couldn't get off without going through hell. I'm not interested in using at all. I hate it. I have a severe back problem and saw I was becoming addicted to opiates and sub was supposedly the answer. I only take 2mg strip that i make last 4 or 5 days. I just had surgery 2 weeks ago and i didn't tell my doctors which is awful but i was so ashamed. So i quit 3 days before and just took perc to get me through so i didn't feel any withdrawal. I didn't get high at all. Even in the hospital i got no high from anything just pain relief. Now I'm post op and down to the last of my 5 mg perc halved and I'm starting to feel withdrawal. The hot sweaty flashes and the restless legs. I was wondering if i could just take a tiny tiny bit of subox for like 4 days as needed only and be done. Thoughts?God bless you for any help. ..Ali
