Suboxone Withdrawals (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I really truly need someone's help...after many years of surgeries became addicted to narcotics. Now, I have been on suboxone for close to 6 years. I just can't keep doing this...I can't afford it anymore and I am sick of the Dr's. I have tried getting off before and wished for it to be all over! Is there anyone out there who has gotten off Suboxone? And do you have any tips or can tell me if it's possible to get off without going through hell? Thank you in advance

Both of you need to see someone that specializes in Suboxone and its use and cessation.

The narcotic in it is Buprenorphine, which is very potent and it needs to be very slowly tapered to prevent severe withdrawals. In some cases, depending on the severity of someone's addiction, it can take years for them to be able to safely taper off of it.

Do either of you have a treatment clinic in your area?

I just posted almost the same question... I'm looking for advice that I don't already knw but I can tell u what has been helping me... I figured out that a lot of the suboxone w/d is in your head.. Your mind plays games with u and tells u that u need more but u really don't.. I don't know how many u take but I took 1- 8 mg pill for 5yrs and I cut that pill in 4s and I only take 4mg per day.. Psychologically my body is satisfied because I'm going through the motion of taking the pill twice per day... I've been cut down now going on a month and I feel like I accomplished a lot by cutting my dosage in half... The only thing I had trouble with was I didn't want to work or go to the gym.. I had no motivation but it's getting better now... My next step is to cut down half again 4mg to 2mg.. I'll let u know how things go
