How to quit opiates, please help

I am stuck with this horrible habit and am trying to figure a way out. Every time I try it seems like I'm ready for it but then some new feelings start emerging or some new twist that makes it so hard. The restless legs are really bad and even worse is the constant sense of anxiety and low/depressed mood all the time. Does anyone have ideas of things to try or anything that helps. I want to stay away from Suboxone as I only hear success stories from people who are still on it and it seems like many horror stories for those that tried to quit suboxone itself. I just need help, has anyone here gone through it and been done for awhile and feel completely normal again?

Well I was on suboxone for two years. I am clean 18 days. And feel great alot easier than I thought depends how low you taper down to until you end up stopping. It has been helpful yet i did become somewhat dependent on it but once I got through detox I was like wow I feel like Im still taking subs . I feel pretty good.

Hi, I am going through the same journey right now as well. I have a similar question posted, I will try to help out if I can. Hot, hot baths help my restless legs as well as heating pads. It doesn't last for long though...
