How long do SUBOXONE withdrawals last?

[Sub2009]

Hi guys! hang in there, I am clean 35 days from Suboxone and still feeling no energy, murmurs, sleeplessness, anxious, dirreahea and feel depressed at night times.  The first day was hell! I felt a big snake biting me and it took one day to feel that pain and afterwards I knew I can do this and get off Suboxone.  I was on Suboxone 2mgs for 6 months and tried to taper down...  Can anyone tell me how long Suboxone withdrawals last???? im so anxious to know because I really can't wait to feel back to normal.
Thank you and God Bless all of you.

I am on day 3 luckily had two days off from work but now I go back. I am scared I work in a very fast paced environment and what if I am still feeling tired. I want to get some just to feel normal again but I also don't wanna go through this again! My other half thinks I just dabble here and there but I have been on maybe 1mg for 9 months. Dumb part started doing it just cuz it was cheaper than pills and I liked the high and the energy...dummy. now I don't get high off that amount but I need it to feel normal!! I promised I wouldn't touch it anymore so I wouldn't get hooked...so I pretty much am withdrawing alone and my family thinks I have the flu! I keep telling myself I can do! Gonna try some 5 hour energy drink before work and hope it helps!

I am on my 5th day clean from subs. It's true, there is nothing worse to have to detox from. I thought I was gonna die. I am beginning to see the fog clear. I am on lexapro now for a week so I am hoping that will start to help with anxiety and depression soon. I am also taking valium as needed. I hope to start working out in a few days to help. I am a firm believer in "bring the body, and the mind will follow" I know this is a late post but for anyone new hang in there. Have faith, stay positive.

I'm 63 years old.  Have to relate my situation with suboxone detox similar to those most recent posts.  Due to a severe back injury I was on hydrocodone (Norco 10/325) for nearly nine years, 30-40 mg/day, and MorphineSR for the last 6 months. I have a quite high tolerance for pain and wouldn't be described as having an addictive tendency in my personality. Twice during those years I went off Norco cold turkey in preparation for back procedures.  Both times it took 5 agonizing days but then was fine, like the world was suddenly a bright place on day 6, but both of these detoxes were a few years ago.  This time my whole medical team (surgeons, anethesiologists, etc.), decided I needed to get off the Norco and Morphine so the team could make an truly informed decision on exactly how bad was my back pain without meds.  Sooooo...a 7 day suboxone mediated-opiate detox program was implemented. Off the Morphine one day, off the Norco the next, 24 hours of full blown withdrawals, then next day started suboxone, 4mg the first two days, then 2mg for the next 5 days.  Doctor said WDs would, in earnest, start about day 3 after I stopped the suboxone.  That's the way it happened, but considerably worse than I was lead to believe by the detox doctor. Started having all the symptoms that people have described here (severe aches, RLS, sneezes, sleeplessness, everything).  Was prescribed methylcarbamol for the muscle aches and Ativan for the depression, and to sleep.  Those drugs helped marginally but made me a mental basket case.  Day 6 I had such severe symptoms that my wife had to take me to the ER where I was admitted and sedated.  They kept that sedation (with the Ativan, 2-4mg at a time, several times a day) over the next several days at home.  I was totally out of it and have no memory of that week.  My point/question is this.  I literally couldn't take that anymore so after several doctor consults they reduced the dosages to taper me off.  I am now on day 22 since I stopped the subs and can quite honestly say I still feel like total crap, with virtually all the associated WD symptoms, and definitely feel like I'm not getting better at any kind of acceptable rate.  Exercise helps somewhat in the short term.  I've seen comments indicating 30-90 days is normal for WD cessation, but most of these are from long time subs users.  Has anyone had a situation similar to mine, and if so, would you comment on your experiences?  The thought of another several weeks of these symptoms is almost too difficult of imagine.

Been off suboxone a week. Can't seem too feel better if my life depended on it!

The problem with most Suboxone detox's is that most Physicians are unaware of the withdrawal length if not tapered properly.

The best way to detox, in my uneducated but experienced opinion is to use Suboxone for a very short period of time at smaller doses. I have detoxed off Suboxone after 14 days of use.

I sleep about 7 hours per night, though fragmented and get the occasional stomach cramps and lethargy, but it's palatable.

Suboxone withdrawals are not worse than Oxycodone/Hydrocodone withdrawals, they are extended in their symptoms, which psychologically depresses the person going through it.It does end, for some within a few weeks to 30 days, for those who have depression issues it can subside a little bit later but it's nothing that is going to ruin you. Just stay the course and you will see advances in your health.

I'm with you on all oa it. I was on for a little over a year and now I have been off for a little over a week and I feel like I'm losing my mind. It's taking everything in me to not go back. I just want it to be over.
