Welcome...

Everyone is different. I too tried to detox with Sub, and I went through w/d all over again. I also stopped the Sub at my own discretion. So mabey that is why. If your doctor has been monitoring you and your husband, then you should have minimal w/d...but I am sure there will be some.

I am now 18 days clean, from a 3 years oxy (500-1000mg a day) addiction. That was also with my husband. Unfortunately, my husband is no longer here to celebrate my recovery. I lost him last July to Oxy's. Anyway, I am just starting to feel a little better. I detoxed with the Burenporphine shots then onto Naltrexone. More expensieve for this method as it is a rapid detox...But after all was said and done, I still had Restless legs, insomnia and lack of energy.

Look up the Thomas Recipe..this will help you tremendoulsy. As far as length, there is no estimated time, but we are all different. There are people on here that it took months for them to feel better, and some after 5-6 days. The worst of whatever is too come should be over in a few days. But, Energy, sleeping patterns and other things may stick around. You never know...

Good Luck and Keep me posted on your recvoery.

I had to laaugh!!!!! You are just like me!!  I needed a time frame.  Thats how I am w/everything.  I can endure almost anything as long as I have a time table.  I'm sorry I cant help you with the sub w/d but I'm sure some one here can.  Best of luck!!

Yes, I am a very analytical person and timelines work well for me :-)  It's like when I was in grad school or my kids were newborns...if I knew I would be able to get some sleep on day X, then I could keep on trucking until that day.  Same rationale here, if I know when this shitty feeling is going to end, atleast I can focus on the light at the end of the tunnel.  Granted, what I'm feeling now is NOTHING like coming CT off the Percocet, so thank goodness for Subutex...but as human beings, noone likes discomfort.  But I know this is a small price to pay to get myself out of the mess I've gotten myself into.  I used to judge people like me because I never understood the power of addiction until the Percocet came into my life.  Wow, if I could just go back I would never have taken that 1st one.  But I can't go back, all I can do is go forward...

I had 3 years of flying high so I had to realize that the party was over and getting back to even was going to take some time.... give it 2 months... during which you are getting exorcise and aminos.... I had a nice ride and now I have to pay for it... it was like buying something having to pay for it later.  A couple of months compared to the rest of your life is a good deal.

You won't feel normal again until you stop using all drugs......

All drugs like what?  As I mentioned previously, today is my last day of Subutex and it has been 6 weeks since my last Percocet.  I don't understand your comment.
