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.

depends on how much you jumped off at! if you did a long taper shouldnt be much longer, if you jumped at a high dose it takes months, just hang in there, i did a long taper still went around 21 days with no sleep i also had to work it was rough, sleep like 2 or 3 hours tops, then after the no sleep thing you start sleeping more and your body is wore out than wants to rest like all the time for about 2 weeks with no energy, than the symptoms come and go, just hang in there man it does get better trust me! god bless!

exercise helps alot also, stay active, take vitiams, every day gets better, just keep thinking i abused my body for almost 25 years, if it takes me a year to feel like i did when i was younger it will be worth it all, i get little waves of energy now, my drive to get things done is getting better also. you will start feeling better and better every day, sub is a very strong drug, you did go off at a high dose makes a big difference, your at day 10 you got this man, you will relize how much sub messed with your emotions, might want to consider starting a new thread you will get more support, putting my trust in christ helped alot, just kept thinking what he went through for me carrying my cross with my sin's and he was god in the flesh he was sinless spotless son of god, god and life is so awesome now, i will never go back to them demon pills again, we are hear for you! hang in there buddy you got this demon running, god bless!

hey
im on day 20 its been a battle.. i went to a holding because i didnt trust myself at home i had a legal script. i was on them for about 10 months, i was a opiate monster and ill tell ya kicking suboxone was worse than any opiate i kicked! it lasted alot longer, i caught a bad sinus infection while i was in the holding so feel drained its been 7 days on antibiotics so im hoping any day i will start to feel better. i never thought i could be substance free but its happening! i suggets anyone thinking about taking suboxone get all the facts. i was told by my doctor no wd,s yea ok ! it sucked so anyone suffering..keep your head up it will get better..it may take a while but whats the alternative? staying high was a 24/7 job that i DONT WANT ANYMORE???
