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.
