Hey Hope,

That is good to hear! I am glad that you got through it without too much discomfort! In retrospect, I realize that my experience really wasn't too bad either. I am doing well this holiday season, and it sounds like you are too! I am glad that you are now liberated! The funny thing was, when I was tapering, I kept waiting for extreme withdrawal symptoms, and when it never became as bad as I thought it would, I got relief and comfort from that. Anyway, Happy Holidays to you!

Hi Grunt111. I was taking .25 every day for about 6 days. I can understand your discomfort given the high 'cliff' you jumped off of; .7 is still pretty strong. I definitely wouldn't have wanted to take that route. When did you stop? My most intense withdrawal symptoms lasted about 4 days to a week but I felt lethargy for a good month. However, as we all know, we get 'energy' from drugs whether it be street drugs or prescription and since I was on codeine for almost 5 years then Subs for about 10 months I really don't know if the lethargy was a withdrawal symptom or simply how I'm supposed to feel after all that time. Regardless, stay the course sweetie. It does get better. Us addicts are wimps when it comes to ANY amount of discomfort so dig deep and know that you can do this. Keep me posted with your progress!

Thanks for the info went back to .25 once at night will try it for the next three days and then try and drop of from there. I am at the .25 at night and do not feel to bad at this point so I am hoping a couple days here and then jump. Will be so glad to be done.
Thanks for the advice will keep you posted

Hello again Grunt111!!! I didn't want to say anything but I'm sooooo glad you decided to go back on that horrible stuff for a little while longer. The fact is, Sub is so very potent and cannot be misconstrued when it comes to its strength. PLEASE do me, AND YOURSELF, a favor...take the .25 for 3 or 4 days and then cut it down to even less for a couple of days. I only say this because I want you to DETOX as comfortably as possible. I know how hard this is. I don't know your story (how long or how much you've abused your body, mind or soul) but I literally pray that you experience the least amount of discomfort. If you decrease the dosage gradually, slowly, etc....you could literally feel 'almost' no discomfort. We are addicts so the most important thing is 'to NOT keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result'. Basically, this drug is not intended to keep you high but to help WEAN you from all drugs. Stay The Course...PLEASE <3

Thank you again for the support I appreciate it truly helps coming from someone who has been in these shoes. Second day on .25 and I don't feel to bad tired and the occasional sweating but tolerable. My plan is to take .25 till Friday and stop there hopefully that will be it. I have to say in between the feeling off I do have moments short moments where I feel really good. Stay in touch

I wonder if most of the pain you are suffering is from chronic nerve pain--which would make sense as your nerve endings in one of your most sensitive extremity' swerve crushed. Even phantom pain is a brute! Ask your physician about lyrica or gabapentum. I have chronic pain in my sciatic nerve
where herniations calcified and made a stone pressing on nerve root. I have been taking fentanyl 75 mg transdermal patch but won't recommend it as withdrawal is a nightmare. I have been taking lyrica in fairly high doses..some use gabapentum. Might be worth a try. Next recommendation is medical marijuana Indicate Glass. Take only when you can't sleep for the extreme pain as our bodies quickly becomes immune to smallest dose.
Good luck!

FDA approves two higher dosage strengths of Orexo's ZUBSOLV

The new dosage strengths are 8.6 mg/2.1 mg and 11.4 mg/2.9 mg buprenorphine/naloxone CIII sublingual tablets. The 8.6 mg/2.1 mg dosage strength is expected to be launched early 2015 and the 11.4 mg/2.9 mg strength later in 2015.

The new dosage strengths complement the existing strengths of 5.7 mg/1.4 mg and 1.4 mg/0.36 mg tablets and enable patients to receive their optimal dose in one tablet.

The new strengths are made with the advanced, proprietary sublingual tablet formulation in ZUBSOLV providing higher bioavailability, a fast dissolve time, small tablet size, and menthol flavor

I just moved to the Dallas ft worth area, actually denton and have yet to find a dr that does zubsolv. I have been on subs but insurance isn't paying for it anymore. Would you be able to share your dr name?

Can you break a 5.7/1.4mg Zubsolv? I heard you can't.... I don't want to do anything crazy with it, just want to see if I can cut the dose in half before going to the doctor on Monday to get lowered. Help please! Thanks!

Of course you can Brittany!!! It's ridiculous that the doses are so high in the first place. The hard thing about Zubsolv though is that the pills are very soft so use a very sharp razor blade when cutting it. Suboxone is so much easier because it comes in film form so it is easily cut into smaller doses. Wean yourself off the Zub slowly and get yourself off of it! This drug is nasty!!! Good luck sweetheart :-)

I have looked a dozen times and just found it. I originally was looking for ways to live without fentanyl and hopefully lyrica so these drugs in discussion are unknown to me. Thank you Hope for your help.

Dude....If you think the "label" junkie doesn't fit you you have yet another trait of a junkie....denial. Seriously dude you act like just because you hit the road of drug use from the doctor in ramp that you are better then a junkie? Hell I ONLY did H. Seems like you were doing everything under the sun an you are going to bad mouth junkies? Especially since clearly you know how hard it is to get off opiates. Or are you calling me for the mistake I made at the age of twelve. I was a kid. Made a stupid decision that as an adult I would have never done. An addict is an addict is addict. Get over yourself. We are all in the same battle. Drawing class lines is not going to help anyone....especially yourself.

Hey Ken,

I agree with you. I remember responding to your message a while back and I agree that what I said was pretty lame and not helpful really at all. I am only human though. I did a lot of stuff ( not everything) but most opiates for sure. No need to argue about it though. How are you holding up?

Best,

Joey

Hanging i there I work retail so the holiday is a tough time for me. Yesterday took the last .03 mg so far today I feel a little flu like typical mild withdrawl. I am very restless and a bit anxious but it is strange I get these moment where I feel awesome. Just taking a hour at a time and will get thru it.

Hang in there Nick. The time will seem like it's going slow but JUST HANG IN THERE! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. This is the best thing you will ever do for yourself. If you can, try exercising...force yourself if you have to. Ya gotta jumpstart those endorphins (the human body's natural drug to feel high on). It will also help you sleep. You're in my thoughts!
