sub wd

Tomorrow will make one week since my last sub and for the first time I am feeling the cold sweats and the aches, not as bad as the WD from the vicodin. I'm just hoping that this isn't the beginning of hell for me my husbad deploys in 31/2 weeks for iraq so i guess i'd rather be WD now while he is here then wherI'm all alone. I foolishly thought I'd get threw this with no pain guess I was wrong dr. still swears no WD will happen, just goes to show how stupid they are! So I guess this is really just replacing one drug for the next. And not only that it is just so very expensive. And I stupidly thought I could kust stop and be done, I feel so stupid. And now crappy on top of that!

I pay 350.00 per dr visit and its about 400.00 for a months supply of the pills my insurance pays for none of it. And when I was getting my vics I only paid 3 per RX threw my insurance. I just wanna be done with it all ya know/

It sounds like your doing great from dropping from 8mgs..

You give me hope, I plan to stop at the end of this week, and yes cost
so much.  Here in Florida most Dr's that are Suboxone DR's do not
take insurance and the office visits are around $150.00 to $200.00 and than
for the Rx my insurance make me pay $$$because there not generiac.
Last Visit cost me $410.00, but I paid more for the vic's so it's worth it guess.

Hang in there.

sub w/d usually didnt start until about 5-7 days after last dose for me. And it lasted a month. You will make it, just bear down and grin it.

I went CT because I could not afford it anymore, 8mgs is what I stopped at. Its really not to bad other then sweating and then the chills, no runs, no stomach problems sleeping just fine. Hot then cold and of course just feeling yucky, but vic WD were worse

I know what you mean.

I was detox with suboxone from norcos, I was doing great on my taper and
I had a lot of back/neck pain so the DR put me on 6mgs a day of suboxone (for pain control).  Now I want off of everything and am finding it hard to detox from the suboxone.

I am getting the sweats/colds so bad I need 5 showers a day.  But I also went from 6mgs down to 3mgs in a week (and I knew it would be too fast) I just want off of them.

The last time I detoxed with suboxone, I was down to 1mg every other day and just stopped and I felt nothing.

And from reading a lot of post on this site I hear suboxone has a longer half life
and the w/d's are bad.  That's why I want off so bad.

How many mgs Where you down to ?
