Take your subs and flush out your system, subs are intended to be a detox drug not long term... there good for depression and alot of other things not just detox meds.

I had similar usage and for me yea the withdrawls are lighter and easier using a 3-4 sub taper.

everything you said is 100% correct. ive read a lot of drug forums just for fun but never seen a post that everything was right...just wanted to let you know someone out here acknowledges your advice even though I wasn't looking for advice personally....

I completely agree with your NA comment its just not for everyone. I understand the concept if wanting to not feel alone with your addiction and knowing there's other people out there going through the same thing as you. But I already know that and I haven't been able to relate to these horrible rock bottom stories a lot of participants in NA have. Also the people who I've seen that had most succes with NA just use it as a substitute. They all seemed worried if they miss a day there gonna go straight back to using and I don't think that's a solution. If it works for you great but, it's definetly not my cup of tea

U say that na is bulls*** but what u dont understand is that its not working because you obviously aren't ready. That program only works for people who really want it and is willing to do step work get a sponser go to meetings everyday putting your self in uncomfortable situations so u can get past the fear of letting people in. U have to literally make na ur life. U have to be completely committed to the life style. If you dont do the thing they suggest u to do then yes it wont work. I notice that when I start to get too comfortable and get back into my old destructive ways and try to do it my way ill relapse. Your relapse always happens before u actually pick up the drug. When u start to lie or steal or isolate yourself and stop going to meetings or what ever u used to do when u were using u will end up using. U need to stay honest with your self and others. U need to call someone when u feel u want to use. U need to put ur self in uncomfortable situations in order to over come that fear. Fear tends to drive an addict to use because they dont want to feel uncomfortable. But its ok to feel thats what makes u who u r. And if u dont work ur steps ur not going to figure out who u really r and what usually triggers u to use. It helps u to become a better person. And its sad that just because u had a bad experience because u were not truly dedicated to the program to show it really works.. that u have to tell other people it doesnt work and make them feel like there is no hope. U have to chase ur recovery just as hard as u chased the drug.Athe reason u felt like an outsider ehen u went to meetings is because u didnt keep an open mind.. all these people used to be where u r or even worse then u and they foumd a better way to live. If u honestly surrendered and gave it ur all and followed the suggestions for 1 month I bet u wouldnt want to go back to where u r now. Na works for the people that want it bad enough. Good luck there is hope as long as u have the faith and the drive to want to do it!

Hey all, just got through reading the entire thread. I hope what I am about to write rings a bell with someone or at least gives someone some place to start with the process of getting off opiates, whatever they may be (I have been on them all, for years, from smoking to shooting, amidst being able to also quit addictions to alcohol and cocaine). Of course it is 2 in the morning and I have 2 midterms tomorrow which I should have been studying for but ive spent the past week doing other things completely shady and unprogressive just to score enough just to keep that sickness at bay. Well, I am going to start my detox this weekend, given I have only 3 days until my next round of tests and papers due. Look, suboxone withdrawal after taking upwards of 24 mg a day is the worst, besides siezuring and flatlining after cold turkeying off of 120 mg a day methodone 2 year habit. Wait 24 hours if you can to take the first sub. Usually one 8mg is enough for the next 24 hours, but you may need an extra quarter or half 12 hours later. Day two take no more than a whole one. Even for day three. Day four, a third or a half if you can manage. Day five a half, and day 6. Day 7, a quarter, and day 8 a quarter (optional). That should the longest detox using suboxone. I have gotten sober for a couple months before and literally haven't slept for a month straight, nor been able to eat more than a tub of ice cream or a bowl of cereal a day. Plus, all this leg trembling and nausea stuff is alien to me. My w/d means me crawling on the floor puking up blood and going in and out of consciousness almost, delirious from lack of sleep and all the s*** my body (and mind especially) are going through. my point is, you will need some sort of benzo to alleviate the anxiety during the first 4 or 5 days of detoxing. no more than say two xanny's a day. after the week or so of detoxing you will have minor physical symptoms, but the mental part is the real deal. exercise. FORCE yourself to get out of bed. To do everything exactly that you don't wanna do, but know you have to do. if that means going on walks and eventually when you are at what, 25 percent (yea I only felt 50 percent normal after being 6 months sober) go and try to find a simple part time job. If the whole 12 step meeting thing works, do it. outpatient can be helpful (ive also been to rehab over 7 times). To make something out of this late night rant, the subs will help. Listen to those proposing the week long schedule. usually about 5 or 6 subs is all you need. For you hard cores, get 10 or so xannys or valiums, you will need them. After that, you're on your own. find something, anything, that gives you that tiny, itty bitty little sense of satisfaction whilst sober, and hang on to that. it'll lead to better things. and don't be afraid to admit your situation to family or friends who are close, and who you know will be looking out for you and your best interests. the easiest way to relapse is isolation, being alone, stuck with that devil in your head that will be with you until the day you die. Just do the right thing, what you have to do, not what you want to do. eventually, what you want to do will be that right thing. god bless and good luck. life is so goddam precious, and there are people along the way who are still thinking about you, so don't forget about them either. cheers and good night

i am in the suboxone program taking subs for ove 5 yes. i advise u to take a wole sub for the first day the next day a half a.m and half p.m and the next day the same thing. after that just stop taking them . u may feel sick how ever u will be so much further away from your sickness since day one . and deal with it. buy some boost shakes drink one a day. it t is very health for u and bananas are also read good for u. maybe your first day see if u can get a dr. to give u a valium for 3 days . if u take subs longer that 3 days ur first day being off them will be greatly sicker if u take subs longer than 3 days good luck to u

Wow. Thanks so much, I just might be that one person. I've been on pain pills since 14, I'm 23.. Currently my choice is perc 30's and yesterday I found myself taking 16. At 30$ a pill it's insane.. I'm too pretty for this. I got 3 8mg sub strips last night and I'm scared. So scared. Idk wtf I'm doing with life anymore.. I just want to b normal. My whole day consists of my next high.. It's sad. I'm losing everything.. Financially I'm able to keep this up, but damn who would want this?? I'm so ready to just be normal again
