How long do SUBOXONE withdrawals last?

[Sub2009]

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.

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?
