subutext withdraws. please help me

This is silly question considering its the same question that everyone has asked on Here; "how long does it take for subutext withdraws to pass"?
Well I was an oxy, percs, vics and hydro abuser for almost a hear. I wanted to clean my life up blah blah blah and started taking my friends subs from his script. I used subutext properly in little amounts each day and I mean I snorted a tiny tiny ttttiiiiiny line once it twice a day . So, one pill would last almost a week. Well I can no longer get these subs because I moved away on purpose to free myself from users and a certain life style blah blah...well to shorten this up im dealing with all of this in my own. I was diagnosed with border line personality disorder and because of it I have NO FAMILY AT ALL. NONE. I am literally on my own and by myself I life and only 29 years old. So this makes it harder for me psychologically as well as mentally. Makes me want to give up and not try. I need someone to please let me know what's going on with my body. Its been three days since my last crumble of subutext. I can not sleep at all, I wake up throwing up dark liquids and my arms feel like I need to flail them around violently. How ling does this last? I tried smoking weed but it only made me anxious even more. cutting or "self harm" has taken its place with me badly again. I'm alone with this and I need some comfort or words of affirmation please. Its hard to deal with things like this when you have no one that loves you or even cares the slightest. Makes me want to give up on myself as well seeing that I'm not worthy of, love, affection, honesty, family or friends or simply just a normal loving life. I don't wish this kind if agony upon my worst enemy. Its not right and no one should ever feel the way I do.

While it very well could be...I wouldn't mess around with it.  GI bleeds can be very very serious.  Wouldn't hurt to get checked out.

In that case too, they can give you something non habit forming (like Zofran) for the nausea/vomiting.  Just my opinion.

Hang in there!!

Dark dark green almost black. I think it's from the valerian root that I take before bed to ease my night jitters. All I'm left with are cold sweats in mid summer and vomiting in the morning.

You're vomiting a dark liquid?  Like coffee color?  

You really need to get checked out medically, and ASAP.  Dark emesis can often times indicate internal bleeding (like a bleeding ulcer, etc).

Good luck to you!

Thank you everyone. I'm not having any issues of wanting to relapse at sell. In fact I'm 200% DONE using and ZERO urge or thought of using ever. This isn't right. I need to take control of MY ZBODY. I bought valerian root to help me sleep. Still I'm waking up throwing up my guts every single  morning. It makes want to give up and just die on my bathroom floor wear on laying as if this very moment. How long dies the sickness last??? How freaking long?!????? I want my energy back not a silly program to join. It's not for me bc I feel I'm passed all if that considering I have zero urge to use ever. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to read my cry baby crap. It means a lot to me and helps me pick myself off if this bathroom floor.

I completely agree with what weaver said about getting with a 12-step group. You will suddenly have instant family that will help you out. When you go, be sure to pick up a meeting list and ask for phone numbers. You'll always have someone to talk to. And also, ShaBay's "this site will become your best friend" is so true. You are never alone with your disease of addiction when getting with folks in recovery. Recovering addicts are our addiction's worst enemy.

Don't worry about the future and don't worry about what you have lost in the past. The future will take care of itself as long as we don't use. The past is history. But what we CAN do is work on today. Stay in the now. Today's mission is, simply not using and staying the course on your detox. Try looking at what you're going through as a medical procedure that's necessary to get well again. Like Weaver said, it's doable. I wish you the best of luck.

Cant agree more with weaver! Not only with AA or NA help you stay the path of being clean, but will introduce you to people either feeling the same way you are and/or people that have been there and done that and can walk with you thru this! YOUR NOT ALONE!!!! Head up and keep fighting! Positive thinking is the hardest part for me and I have to fight with my head daily on why this is a good thing. TRY TRY TRY to think about yourself and what a GREAT thing you are doing!

You say a tab lasted a week. That's about 1 mg a day, that's actually a high dose to stop subs, but totally doable. Insomnia is the worst part, for me it was. It took about 3 weeks to level out. Are you going to 12 step meetings? AA or NA? I would find some support in your area. You do not need to be or feel alone. Keep moving, go for walks, and stay hydrated. You will be okay, but I encourage you to find help, friends, a recovery program.
