Hey everyone,
First of all, I was addicted to Oxycontin for over a year, then went to an addiction specialist for suboxone. I have been on Suboxone for two years now, and I just finally quit cold turkey after tapering from 24mg a day to 2mg over those two years. I'm on day 4 of no suboxone and am taking clonazepam for sleep and anxiety, but the withdrawals are still very bad. Not as bad as when I went through Oxy withdrawals, but the restless legs, hot and cold sweats, shakes, etc. are all still there. I am trying to understand how long it will take until I feel "normal". I'm afraid that because I have been on the Subs for so long that it is going to be a very long, difficult battle, but I don't know. My Dr. said the physical withdrawals should only last 48 hours, at the most, but I've already found that not to be true. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
