Suboxone Detox

Suboxone/Subutex should be used one way and one way only. Start with the professionally recommended dose; (usually according to one's opiate intake) and ween off of it in 5-14 days. Any longer than that and it becomes a crutch, simply trading one demon for another. I know people that have been on it for 3yrs, and when it came time to stop...HELL. I took it for a year. Mistake. I suffered worse withdrawals from that then any other before. I relapsed. Relapsed with a plan of pure Will. I used vicodin for two weeks, weened myself off and suffered much, much less. Suboxone is powerful s***, not to mention expensive. I am a member of Pills Anonymous; therefore, I am speaking not only from my own experience, but dozens of others. Trust me; save yourself. Aloha

Thank you for your post. You are RIGhT! Suboxone withdrawls are ROuGGH! I am a month free of subxne and ive been on it for ...3 years? Ive been putting this part off for way longer than necessary and I have remained clean the entire span of my treatment. Subxn has saved me as far as i know. I am one of the only sucess stories according to my doc. He said I could stay on it as long as I wanted to but I had trouble with my insurance company and said f it, im gonna do it, im going off of this. I still felt like I had the monkey on my back (LIKE WHEN I WAS USING H) I found this site in hopes to learn more about other peoples experiences with withdrawl from longterm subxn use. Any other opinions? Oh yah, my Dr scribed me tramadol to take the edge off the withdrawl symptoms and that helped too. But like I said, its been over 35 days free of subxn and I am still feeling withdrawl symptoms. almost out of tramadol, considering asking dr. for more but I think im just gonna bite the bullet and sweat this s*** out.
