Sub Withdrawal Will it ever end! ;(

[kickinhydro]

I have been on Suboxone for over 2 years, went from 24 mgs daily tappered all the way down to 2-1 mgs per day this is day 11 and I feel like I'm going to die, can't eat or sleep how much longer?? is there a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm so ready to just end it all to make this go away, i've lost 20 lbs in 11 days is there anything I can do? I've been taking xanax 1 mg 3 times a day but still major anxiety and depression, I would be so greatful for any and all suggestions. I'm on the verge of seeking out other painkillers just to get through this Percs, hydros, Oxy even alcohol but tryin my hardest to ride this out, I have no one to talk to no support system at all so I hope you guys can help me and @ least listen or talk/chat with me.  :)

Thanks,
Jess

Hi Kickin, I'm so sorry you are having a difficult time! I have heard Sub is really hard at best to get off of! You have done great to get to day 11! Try to hang tough! Taking something else like Percs or Oxy isn't  going to help, and will certainly prolong this! Try to get some protein in you! Shakes can really help with a lot of the issues! Stay hydrated, all the usual stuff! I'm sorry I don't have any experience with Sub, but lots of others have and I'm sure they will be along soon to offer advice and support! Don't give up, you do not want to have to start over! Be proud of your success, so far!

I am on day 21 sub free.  Was on it for 4 years before I stopped.  After about 2 weeks you get to a somewhat normal state.  I still don't sleep well at all but am eating more and feeling more normal when I do get some sleep.

11 days is great just got to stick with it.  I would be careful with the Xanax, it's very easy to get addicted to that.
Taking another opiate would just get you back where you started so don't do that!!!
