Suboxone W/D!!!!!

I was addicted to roxy 30mg for about 1 1/2 yrs. i was taking 3 to 4 30mg tab daily. I then decided to get off roxys and turned to Suboxone. I started taking 8 mg once daily and tapered down to 1 mg daily in the past 6 months. I am currently on DAY 4 without Suboxone and feeling very badly. The worst part is the lack of sleep and the kicking!!!!! WOW this is almost worse then w/d from roxys!!! Today i broke down and took a crumb of Suboxone that i had left over. It was probably less then .25 of a 2 mg tab. Will this set me back and prolong my withdrawls???  I am feeling very s****y about that fact that i broke down and took it! Any advise will help! thank you

Do not feel bad about taking a crumb, its better than relapsing. I have weaned myself down to about 0.25 a day. I find, even with a crumb, it helps with my chronic back pain. My plan is to eventually start skipping days then jump. A few freinds of mine have done that and were successful but everyone is different as far as symptoms. Maybe take a crumb for a few days may help, IMO so your body can adjust to a very low dose. You have done awesome so far do not beat yourself up. I really wish you the best. You are not alone here.

do you have any crumbs felt the best way to get off sub is to go all of the way down to a crumb  then a crumb everyother day .You are right sub withdrawl (withdrawal) can be just as bad wd  or worse then your roxis

dont beat urself up..like mentioned a crumb of sub is better than relapsing...most taper to a liver if they have been on sub for a while..sub packs some power and people do not realize this til they try to let it go...and then it becomes evident that sub is a very strong addictive narcotic....hang in there...aftecare will help....can u talk to ur sub dr about any ideas?   keep us posted..just dont relpase..u have come too far
