by the way, I would only get on suboxone as a LAST RESORT. if you've tried everything else and cannot get clean. I decided that wasn't the way to go for me either, just another drug to take and then try to get off of later... take care!!
I use xanax for the anxiety and insomnia that come with withdrawals. I KNOW a lot of people on here disagree with that because we're ADDICTS...but if you're anything like me you weren't using the perks to make you tired. You were probably using them to get high, at least eventually? I was able to do away with the xanax after about the first week and only used it in small amounts. .5 mg a night should work if you don't take it on a regular basis. I know that insomnia makes me feel crazy and xanax really does help for sleep and keeping your heart from racing. take care and congrats on trying to get clean!!!! :)
I take aleive for the pain...funny thing is, it is working almost as well as the dilaudid and soma did. Days 4 to 6 were terrible for me with the "flu" I had ....The very worst part was the shaking....not only my hands and legs, but my insides were like jello. Today is day 6 or8...I felt well enough to go to the dentis and shopping at khols.....nothing helps W/D like a good sale LOL prayers for you ...My love Jerri
hmmm well it depends on who u asked..i got it from a friend and started to abuse it....well when i decided enuf was enuf i got to last pills and 1/4 them and took 1/4 a day. im now 9 days clean. some people say it should only be taken under docs care, but if it wasnt for my friend that gave it to me im not sure if i would be clean. u just have to be careful w it bc u can abuse it. ive heard alot of sucess stories on here from people that are taking it. everyone is different
thanks guys!! its going to be a week or so before i stop, but does sub really work or is it a bad idea??
I am so sorry you are in so much pain! I can't imagine how much pain that procedure causes. Have you read the Thomas Recipe & the Amino Acid protocol in the Health Pages? It will tell you how to ease the wds the best you can.... warm baths... etc...
Keep posting....that will help as well!
