Suboxone

[Copy]

How long do I need to take subs to come off percocets. I had neck surgery in June . But I was taking percocets a year before having it. Well , I'm so so tired of being on them . I feel like my life is over because of taking them. I started off swallowing them then I started sniffing them to get rid of the pain quicker. I know in my heart that they have cause so many issues in my life . I have lost three to four jobs because as soon as I felt pain I went in the bathroom to sniff it. I'm sick and tired of being tired . I want my life back . I have 4 subs that I plan to take one for the next four days . Then stop them. Please help

Withdrawal ease seems to help with the RLS and other symptoms. EmergenC should be in most drug stores or grocery stores, you may have to ask where they keep it. It is often in the vitamin isle or healthfood isle. Sometimes it's in the drink isle, depends on the store. Keep walking and moving around. Try not to think about how you feel but on who you want to be. It will get better, I promise. I don't make promises lightly. You will find that subs block a lot of emotion you may not have notice on it. You may go through waves of feeling better, then bad again. Just keep on drinking and forcing down the protein drink. Those amino acids are the building blocks your brain needs to make it's own opiates and sleep aids. Hang in there.

I'm on three Percocet a day. I was on four a day. There was days when I took five or six. I'm tired thou . I really would like to take the subs. But I heard what u said stay away from them. Do u know any one that took withdrawal easy that is being offered online . I feel the difference weaning off of them. Next week I'm going to go to two a day. I feel like crap. I have been very weak. Pushing myself to make it . Thanks

I agree with killerwds on this. I took subs for 18 months.  Clean for 40 days and the subs are hard to get off of.  its the pain and sickness all over again.  If I could change it I would!

Help I'm hurting .even though I'm weaning down. I can tell the difference. I'm really sick . Frustrated and feel like I'm going to pass out. What is going on. My back hurt , runny nose. It's so much. I can do this but I feel like turning all the way around

Hey weaver know I haven't started drinking emergenc. Where do I buy that from. I'm ready to start everything . Cause I'm so done with these pills. I know the withdrawals are going to be bad. But I'm ready. I want my life back for real. God is with me . But my arm and neck is still hurting . I'm praying that the doctors figure out what's wrong so I can get it fix. And never ever have to use meds again . Thanks for responding to me

Lets talk about ending it all, the insanity I mean. All those crazy thoughts are good all fashion addictive thinking. After you get through this you will wonder how in the world you ended up wanting to END IT ALL. That will be the next part, finding out how you got where you are and never going there again. I was real close to death when I came here. Now I have hope that I will live the dreams that pills blocked for so many years. Hang in there, at least give it a shot, a real honest effort of time.

How many Percs are you on now? Are you taking amino acids and drinking EmergenC yet?

I woke up this morning feeling like crap. I feel terrible inside because I really want to. Come off these pills. My right arm is killing me though. I have an appt with the doctor on Friday again to see what's going on with it. This started after the surgery.. I took one pill this morning to take the edge off the pain. I don't feel like I'm getting any where since I can't take the subs. I'm taking the vitamins and juice but I feel like it's not enough . I want to stop totally. I'm not thinking straight. I feel like giving up and ended it all . Please help

Thank each and everyone for the help. I'm just going to talk to my doctor. I still have pain after the surgery . But I know my life will be different without the perc . I'm going to do everything y'all told me to do thanks again. I will keep y'all posted

I agree as well.  Stay away from Suboxone!  It's wd's are worse than percs.

I am with the others, Subs saved my life, but would never recommend them for Perks. They are way too strong, much stronger than Perks. If you get stuck on subs, read killerwds' thread and see what you have to look forward to. I used a max dose of 8mgs sub for a 150-250mgs of methadone detox and that was plenty. I don't know if you could take a small enough dose to have an equivalent dose as what you are taking.

Start taking amino acids, multivitamins, drinking EmergenC, and hang close to this site. You will feel better in a couple of weeks and then it will keep getting better as you work a recovery program.

I agree with killerwds, stay away from Suboxone!!

[killerwds]

Don't we all.  I'm 17 days clean and still experiencing rls, insomnia, mood swings and the jitters everywhere.  I was on subox for 6 years and in my opinion stay away from the suboxone.

No I'm not under doc care. I was going to do it on my own. I'm scared of the withdrawal because I tried it in the past and I couldn't tolerate the withdrawals. I want to stop with little pain and other symptoms as possible. So I thought if I just do it for four days I would be ok

[killerwds]

I personally can't comment on the benefits of doing this....but are you under a Dr.'s care.  I'm assuming not as this sounds like a home detox situation and my advice would be not to take the subs.  I was on subs for a long time and the wds are worse in my opinion than just quitting percs or whatever else you are on.
I will keep an eye on you and let me know what else is going on.
