suboxone

I was taking 20-30 oxycodone pills a day and when I heard about suboxone I took advantage. I did not want to go to rehab. When I took the first sub, I had to go 18-24 hrs without any oxys. Doc gave me some tranqs to keep me somewhat calm. Then I took my first sub. 30 minutes later, I was STUNNED. ABSOLUTELY NO WITHDRAWLS. Felt like I never was on oxys. Been on subs for about 6 months and tapered down to a half a pill (2mg) a day. Finally finished the last one and I got the flu. Its going around my job and my home. Then I realized something. When I went through withdrawl from oxys, It felt like the flu. (Weak body, sick to stomach). Im going through withddrawl. been four days now. feel a little better. I'm going to ride it out.

yeah the wd's especially at the low dose youw ere on and the not long period you were taking it will def. play a big role in how bad and long the wd's will last. you should feel disocomfort and flu-like for possibly a month, the mental part takes longer and could be at least a few months for your brain to get abck to normal functioning. sub wd's take almost a week to present themselves cuz of how long it alst and how its stored. it will probably get worse for the next week or two but hang in  there it wont be super bad. its def. doable and youll be free of all substances.
