How long do SUBOXONE withdrawals last?

Hi guys! hang in there, I am clean 35 days from Suboxone and still feeling no energy, murmurs, sleeplessness, anxious, dirreahea and feel depressed at night times.  The first day was hell! I felt a big snake biting me and it took one day to feel that pain and afterwards I knew I can do this and get off Suboxone.  I was on Suboxone 2mgs for 6 months and tried to taper down...  Can anyone tell me how long Suboxone withdrawals last???? im so anxious to know because I really can't wait to feel back to normal.
Thank you and God Bless all of you.

If you have no sex life STAY ON THE SUBS! They put salt peter in those so to rid you of sex drive.But they do give energy and are going to be used as a pain killer soon. As it does contain painkillers. If you are married like, you should stop if doc okays it. but know this, SUBS change your body and mind and after long term use you become like a zombie. I had no strong emotions, could cry on SUBS, was very very difficult to have sex.There's more in this drug than we are told .beware! Funny are soldiers in Afghanistan protect the opium crops for the CIA  who uses the money for their black-ops and very black-ops. 90% of the worlds heroin comes from there. So, the CIA owns it, brings it to the USA & big pharma and on the other end in the USA they arrest everyone for what the CIA brings over and puts on our streets? Plus methadone & SUBS  you can be arrested for? THEY ARE opiate blockers! Screw Americas games! They work all angles and don't care about anyone or thing but economics! America is dead.All a bunch of liars a fags like Obama  and Bush. Learn your recent history of George H Bush as cia and how he and BIN LADENS DAD started their own company called the Carlyle Group in the 80z. then you will begin your journey of the truth!

Interesting what you say about sex drive, I felt mine returning in day10 but I thought it might be due to the muscle relaxer's I am taking.
I love a good conspiracy theory! Was a heroin/dilaudid user by IV for about 10 years and lost everything and I mean EVERYTHING!!!! My kid, my husband died from overdose, and I lost my home. I was tired of struggling so practically crawled into a suboxone clinic and have now been on this medicine for about 3 years at 8mg twice per day and I see how I'm a slave to the game and not only do I wanna be drug free because of the obvious reasons, but also because I am dependent on government assistance for the medicine and when the time comes, I'd like to be able to know I'm strong in every way. I'd love more info on the hidden ingredients of this medicine. Anyone with any info?? My mind drives me crazy when I'm not feeding it some sort of substance and thats what scares me the most as I have built some semblance of a life and never wanna go bad to the hell I crawled out of. Thank you!

Hey, that's awesome that you were feeling better so fast, I see this post was really old but I'd be extremely interested in knowing how much you were on/ how long you took it before you quit...everyone else seems to say withdrawals last a month or more :/

Hi Hippielover...

WOW!..You nailed it..your response is so spot on and true. I was addicted to BOTH Perc's AND Suboxen..taking both together two strips and about 20 pills A DAY. I got a job in Dubai that paid big bucks but they don't prescribe narc's unless you are dying. I quit cold turkey and literally went thru HELLLLLLLLLLLLL..Sleep was limited to about 2 hrs a night for the first month and I was sweating had nausea, the runs and thought I was losing my mind. Saving grace was my job that paid $15K tax free and I actually managed to function during the day but night s were ******* awful. Took 6 months and then my life changed..I had clear and felt like I was reborn. Hot baths, EXERCISE (critical) healthy food, and including your family to support you all highly recommended. You have to take the approach that every second that ticks off the clock puts you closer to feeling better and being opiate free...life is so much better without that ****..we just don't need it and the sooner you kick the sooner you will find the promised land..HANG IN THERE..it's hard but dig deep and believe in yourself. Good luck everyone..and reach out to me anytime. take care beautiful people.

Six months?  Are you serious? I am on day 10 after being on sub for a few years. I have been in bed the entire time and had previously lost my job due to absence from the previous month when I had trouble getting prescription filled after switching insurance. Lengthy delays,   Insurance nightmare! I finally decided to just get off of it since I was already partly through withdrawals. Everything I read previously said the withdrawals lasted two weeks and then depression often sets in.  I will be financially bankrupt if this goes on any longer. I can't make it six months! I am currently switching to medical marijuana, thank God it is now legal in California. I am consulting with  A pain management specialist who is helping me with my plan. I hope to god it works because the pain is unbearable. I hear that Suboxone increases the pain severely during withdrawal and I can attest that this is true.

I am currently on subs (Subutex generic) but I only have a handful left and no more Rx. I am trying to get a jump on it before I have to be without, trying to taper slowly and also get other things in order. Scheduling stuff to do, really working on eating better and exercising.

How did you come off in the first place - CT or did you taper? Any advice there?
