Well here I am again talking about loratab WD's and the Florida Gator must know me better than myself!!!!  LOL,Kidding!!!  I have gone thru LORATAB WD's 3 times because I was a terrible addict, and ONCE again like I said before I was Laughing and dancing arround with my kids!!! Of course there will be cravings and lethargig tendancies, but thats part of life!!!! If you cant take them, well then I guess you cant!!!! I loved feeling that!!! It made me a stronger person or so I thought before taking again!!! hahaaa....Dont let anyone try to bring you down about WD's, YES they suck, but you can beat it!!! Theee sub WD's last up and over 2 weeks, but they Physical WD's of tabs will last 5 days!!! I promise!!!  If you wanna talk about it, E-mail me anytime!!! I will try to help anyway I can!!!

Thank you!!!

How long has she been taking tabs and how much does she take a day also?
Cause if she hasn't been on them a ling time andbdoeant rake a high dose there is no sense in justbswitching from opiate to opiate when there r other options to help her and subs r also really expensive to.

I am on day 5 of Suboxone and I feel great.  I have a support system in place, a caring dr. that helped me put a treatment plan together - including 6 months of Sub - therapy - PA mtgs - etc.  I have hope, my depression is gone and I'm being responsible and returning to myself again.  I look at it like this - I tried and tried to stop when I returned to using again.  I stopped using for THREE YEARS before I relapsed after numerous surgeries.  I couldn't stop - mentally or physically.  I sought help and this is the treatment plan me and professionals came up with.  Subs are not the solution, they are helping me get to where I need to be.  If I had diabetes I would need professionals to help me treat it.  I have a disease and if this is what it takes for me not to die then so be it.  I'm proud of everyone who can do it without sub.  I'm just not one of them.

I never tried it I always went cold turkey and after a handful of times and have been clean for a lil over two months but I have heard the wd's from subs r worse and last longer than tab wd's now the other guy said in 5 days she will b laughing and dancing and that is far from the truth she will b feelin a lot better than the first four days and most of the wd's will b over but sometimes it tajes ppl two weeks to get over the wd's and even after the wd's r over she will still b tired all of the time for a while and the cravings and the mental wd's last for a while sorry cause I know this is not the news u wanna hear but noway she will b back to normal and dancin around in only 5 days because as a former pill head and someone that will always b an addict we didn't get this way in a week and we won't get better from this in only a week
GOOD LUCK with her and I hope everything works out and she gets clean and stays that way

Sboxone is only really a short term fix - Mark is right, in the end, she will eventually need to withdrawal and going through withdrawal from lortab is much easier and quicker than suboxone.  Don't get me wrong, I took suboxone for nearly 4 years and it did help me, but looking back I would have much rather gone through the few days than nearly the month that it took to get back to normal after suboxone.  Best of luck to you.


Mark - glad to see you, I hope that you are starting to feel better.

Listen, I was a tab head myself, and I started taking suboxine because I was terrified of the withdrawls, but OMG, I wish I took the 3 days of HELL, because after the suboxine for 9 months It took me 15 days to feel good again!!! Do the math, have her take a few days off and after 5 days she will be laughing and dancing arround!!! Be strong for her, baby the **** out of her when she's going thru it.  She can do it. The sub's are sooo friggen strong and have a terribly LONG half life. **** Im into day 17 of WD's but I do feel much much better.  NO NO suuboxine,k  Believe me!!!  Im here for any ?'s!!!
