Clean...4 Days and counting
4 days. That Requip ain't no joke. Hardest part of my previous detoxing was getting pass the RLS. Even with the Requip, it was rough that first night. Instead of my legs shaking...it was my arms. I would have passed as a really good "air" boxer. The submoxone helped alot. It curb alot of the craving, but I only had three 8mgs. I'm out of those right now and the w/d's coming back. It look like it's going to be a rough night. Good luck to all that are still fighting the good fight.
ok thanks...sometimes i feel that i get out of breath too...from doing nothing...i did just go out to the gym and walked on the treadmill for 10 min...now im really soaking wet!!! but i have to do something to keep my mind off it...cause if i had the pills i would be buzzing around the house getting things done..ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I have them..but not as bad as you. I keep on adjusting the AC every 15 minutes. I'm at work..so there isn't much more I can do. Take a hot bath..i read somewhere...a jacuzzi will help.
I really wish I can tell you what to expect. I'm learning as I go along. Get support man...be with love ones..it makes a ton of difference.
Well seems i was wrong...the pills that i had i thought were 2 but they were the 8's and i would break them into 4pcs...so all this time i thought i was only taking .5 in reality i was taking 2 !!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....i just dont know how much more of this sweating and chills **** i can take...its like 80 outside and im walking around in sweats! and in the house with the AC on im wrapped in blankets cause when the cold air hits my sweat i get the chills....how many more days will i have to go thru this?
hang in there love... u have support, you have people counting on you to get through this. It's your leg of the race. You can do it, I know you can, you are my chicken.
Requip prescribed for patient with RLS (restless leg syndrome) and to some extent..people with Parkinson. I think the dosage is triple for Parkinson's though.
I know about the skin crawling feeling...i'm suffering through that now. Dude...from what I read so far..you are at day 4, the worse of it is almost past. I tried weening and that didn't work one bit. There was no self control. I know it’s easy for me to sit here and tell you to just ride it out..but that seems to be the only solution that works.
I'm still to new at this to offer any sound advice, but here is what i did. Right before bedtime..(i usually sleep at around midnight, but i set it to an earlier schedule because I knew it was going to take hours before i could manage any sleep), I will take the Requip with Lunesta to help me sleep..it didn't knock me out right away, but it got me tired enough to get a few hours in. Each time i woke up..i took an extremely hot bath. Throughout the day, I did was popping potassium supplements and washing it down with fresh OJ..pulp and all.
I would tell you to get some Suboxone, but it’s the same/similar product you are trying to quit. I suggest you keep on reading and find something that is more helpful than what I can provide. Don’t give up now…you are so close to get this all over with.

i am on day 4 of ct from subutux and it SUCKS...i did not taper but never took more than .5 and only once a day...my legs and arms dont shake so much but are painful and i have the feeling i want to crawl out of my skin...the hot flashes that make me sweat and then the sweat on my skin makes me cold....i haven't slept at all the last 2 nights...i have no support as my family does not know about this so i've been playing the sick role...how much longer will this last...im tempted to call my friend to just get one last pill and shave it and take crumbs to ween cause this cold turkey **** is nuts and if i dont get some relief soon i dont know what i will do...any help is appreciated!
The plan was to always go CT from here. I only bought 3 Subs off the streets and threw away the person's contact info as soon as possible. Because of my addictive nature, it was the best course of action.
It was a very restless night, but very manageable compared to previous attempts. I'm in the office and i can't keep my legs from shaking and these dang hot flashes and cold sweats keep coming and going. I don't know what menopause is, but I feel bad for the ladies that have to go through this on a monthly basis.
The support from this forum is awe-inspiring. Last time, I tried to do this alone and it kicked my rear end. I locked myself up in an empty apt. and shut myself out of the outside world. I thought armed with only will power, I will overcome my addiction. Much to my dismay, found out it was harder said than done. Before I started another attempt of detoxing, I found this site and started sucking up all the knowledge and learn from all the stories. Some were very inspirational, others made me want to give up before I even try.
Thank you all for everything and even though I don’t believe in your God…God bless you.

4 days is wonderful and just keep thinking that you made it through the worst of the w/d's with the Requip and Submoxone!! You wil probably have about 3 more days of w/d's which should be alot less painful than the first 4 would've been!!
Stay strong and you will get through this and be much happier in the end!!

4 days is great!!! Keep up the good work! None of its easy, I've detoxed from lotsa drugs. You just need to hang in there. And since youre out of the suboxone, you think you could go ct from here? Might be a good idea. Im not sure what the wd's are from that stuff. Just a thought. Good luck, hang in there.
