Suboxone jones anyone?

[day5]

Anyone quitting suboxone?  I am an ex-heroin addict, turned pill head and spent my life savings on Kratom only to wind up single and on parole again.  Now it is day 5 off subs after 14 mos. and I am WIDE AWAKE!  I slept on day 1, 3, but hardly on two.  I am really glad to be feeling  better already but know more is to come.  I have a script for naltrexone in my pocket which I will fill soon, but NEVER suboxone for so long again. (God Willing)  This is much easier than heroin, but much slower.

yeah, i go through this from time to time, it will pass
a good rule of thumb for me has been to accept post acute withdrawl and all the mess that goes along with it
typically this last 2 yrs, i have more information about this in a journal, it may help you prepare
fyi.........its a medical journal, with studies, not my own personally opinion

Sounds like your doing GREAT compared to alot of people! I too am in the process of coming off subs. I've been tapering so that can get off of it myself. I've been on it for 4 yrs. Would love to know a little more details....like what dose you jumped at and did you taper?

So you are saying the only symptom of w.d you have had is lack of sleep? That is pretty good for a 14 mo habit. What dose did you stop at?

How long were you taking sub? I just started and still trying to figure out how long i will be on it.
Glad to hear you are doing ok.
