How to Quit Suboxone... Or try to stop Suboxone...

[HIPPIELOVER]

Hi! I have been on Suboxone for approximately 1 year and 3 months for an opiate problem I had. I started out @ 2 8mg orange pills/ day, I am on 1/4 in the morning and 1/4 @ night now. Suboxone makes me seriously feel like a Zombie and I am tired of being out of it all the time. I am in College and can't remember jack and it's from the Subs. I am motivated to quit but it is very hard. I have 9 pills left and am not going back to my Dr.. My Doctor charged me $280 for a drug Urine Test (after insurance paid for most of it), I am so mad about it. Anyhow, I am weening off and will be off subs soon hopefully. Any advice for quitting? I know my Energy level will be down and sleep may be hard. I just really want to stay motivated and knock-it so I can stop feeling like a Zombie and looking like one. I feel like I am mentally challenged when I am on them, it doesn't feel good anymore, it just feels better than "bad." REMEMBER WHEN DRUGS WERE FUN? I sure do. I will let you all know of my progress if you are interested, Thanks for any support! I am here to help if anyone is going through this as well. e-mail me @ ***@**** to say "HI" or "How ya doin" or "I am trying to quit too" or anything! I am bored 21/7. haha Later Gals and Gents, I hope to report back here with success soon, Your Boy: Pj 0lson

Hi there, I am two weeks off of them (the Subs), and it does SUCK. I take Valerian Root and Melatonin to help me sleep. You can get both at Wal-Mart or Walgreens and they are non-addictive.
I use to take cough syrup to help me sleep, but I'm a recovering alcoholic as well, and it has about 10% in it, but works wonders....

I have been taking approx 2mg of a 8mg strip for 2 weeks now, only taking it once every 3-4 days. I want to know how to taper down appropriate. I have extreme restless legs and I cannot get any sleep when the sub is completely out of my system. I've tried ibuprofen , lyrics, withdrawal ease and nothing seems to make a dent. Any suggestions , btw I have got the "I still wanna take an opiate" out of the way. I've got my mind in the right place I just can't shake the physical "restless legs" .. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
