SUBOXONE WITHDRAWAL
by COOLK, Jun 14, 2007 12:00AM
Could someone please help me. I was wondering when I would start to feel withdrawal symptoms from suboxone and how bad they will be. I have been taking 8mgs a day for about 4 months. My doc tapered me off this week. 2 days @ 6mg, 2 days @4mgs, 2 days @ 2mgs and today nothing. I feel the same. No major withdrawal. When will it happen? Does it take a few days to wear off? How long? Any advice helps. Thanks!

Yesterday was the first day I heard anything about a "half-life" of suboxone? I think FLaddict knows about that. If this day without, is going well, that has to be some kind of indication of Great news. It's good news to many people here that are on it and worried about the wd's from it... please check in daily and let us know? thanks for the post.

If it's like methadone, you won't feel wd's for nearly 3 days. really long half life. i chose not to use it cause the woman who told us about it said it is really hard to kick. i didn't want to exchannge one addiction for another.

Suboxone stays in your body a long time.. at 36hours after your last dose half of it is left. Most people do not feel WD for 2-3 days. It is alot like methodone this way. And because of the long half life not only are the doses left in your body you took yesterday but the day before as well.. they stack up in your body. In Europe they dose some addicts every other day and it is still effective. I hope that you only have mild Wd ahead of you. I am stopping tonight as well. I have only been on it for 10 days, and tapered down to 0.5mgs so I am crossing my fingers for both of us..

To: suboxone w/d,s
I had been taking suboxone for a few days under a month at first 8mg a day then cut back to 2mg to help get rid of w/d's from roxy's & hydro. I'm on my third day with no suboxone and at times I feel like **** with similar w/d like the day I quit the other stuff. Does anyone have any idea how long this will last? Thanks for any help available

I have been on Suboxone for over 3 years now, at one point I was up to 32mg a day. I tapered down to just 4mg a day. Today is the 5th day without any and I think I am going to die. My question is this, how long will this withdrawal last? It did not hit really hard until the 3rd day. I am used to opiate withdrawal and that used to be about 7 days. Wish me luck,
