Spirutein, ensure, Muscle Milk all have a good balance.  A smoothie drink will go down easier too, of it gets hard to eat.

The amino acids and EmergenC are the most important in my opinion. Those things hell with symptoms and have the nutrients your brain needs to heal. Cal/mag/zinc tabs help a lot too, especially for RLS. Get some supplies ASAP. The things I listed will still make it suck bad enough to remember, but it will help you heal. Keep posting and keep your eyes on the prize. You will love the freedom on the other side. You can do it.

From what I've seen, dosage seems to make the symptoms worse, but they are long no matter what dose you jump from. It takes 21 days for your last dose to leave your body. Detox symptoms seem to peak at about  day 5-7. Insomnia, anxiety, and restless legs syndrome are often the biggest complaint. Between day 21 and 30 sleep starts to improve and then it's a slow recovery from anxiety. I have seen people quit at 4mgs several times. Just know it's all you brain healing, detox will not hurt you, if you are healthy otherwise. Keep moving, walks, or anything. Keep drinking water. Take a vitamin, amino acids, and EmergenC. Hot baths as hit as you can stand it with Epsom salts helps the cramps and RLS. If you keep your mind positive it helps a lot. Just stop worrying about what's coming and ride it out. You can do it. Did you have a plan or just quit?

If you have 8mg subs, that's 4mgs a day. That's pretty high dose for jumping subs. What was you stable dose? How long? Do you have time off? Tell us more of your story so we can help.

Hi- what is the exact dosage you take?   Usually, SUBOXONE is tapered...not abruptly stopped.  Keep posting...
