Hylands restful legs to help you with RLS , hylands cramps legs
maybe some natural stuff to help you with sleep like melatonin and valerian root ( good for anxiety too and it helped me with the stomach cramps , imo).
lots of hot baths ( with epsom salts if you have them ...)
start with walks and some light exercise as soon as you can to boost your endorphines, enjoy the sun ... exercise will really help you a lot to heal and feel better :)
I had been on 20-25 day each of vic and soma and was off 4 months not feeling much better from the beginning. I just couldn't kick the laziness or get any energy back. I was so tired of feeling like **** I was going through my own little personal day of hell. 9 days ago I started suboxone. I feel wonderful, I have not felt like this in years and years. It is also helping my chronic pain. I will stay on it forever if they let me. I don't have fight at 51 to do the cold turkey wd anymore. I am taking 16 mg right now and I guess they will cut me back with a maintence dose.
Hi there -
We can't allow tapering schedules on the forum, but members are certainly free to give you tips for dealing with symptoms.
Best,
Emily
Thank you for responding, so how much longer until you stop the suboxone completely? Please let me know how you feel after stopping. Cause I read so many responses saying that the withdraw was twice as hard with the suboxone.
