SOMEBODY READ
Ive been on soboxone\subutex for about 5 years, Ive went up and down on my doses the entire time, always 8mg weather 1 a day or 3 or a quarter of a pill, until i got pregnant which is when i switched over to subutex and took the lowest dose which was like a crumb of an 8mg, after i had the baby i unintentionally went back up on my dose but remained on subutex, recently about 3 months ago i started tapering down and was only taking about an 8th of an 8mg, i completly stopped taking them almost 10 days ago and still feel awfull, i only sleep with chlonidine or xanax or valumes, ive gotten off herion, percs and subs and never remember it taking this long besides one occasion... somebody gimmi some advice plzzz

Heyy thanks for replying back,srry this is soo long, I do know 100% what youre talking about, Ive felt the same way befor, my mind would race uncontrolably i couldnt sleep think or focus it literally felt like i as doing massive amounts of coke and had serious depression which im dealing with depression now coming off, the mental part of withdrawl is rough and sos the phsyical, luckily that racing does stop but normally when that happens is an idicator that you may have been taking too much befor you stopped completley an could have been on a lesser dose, and right now im taking xanax valums and chlonidine to sleep which i also am scared of getting addicted to but i wrote in another reply today def has been my best day so hopefully youll be the same in two days lol that racing will stop it may just take some time and maybe try sleepy time tea? it worked pretty good for me or spraying lavender on your pillow, some type of home remedy so you wont have to worry too much about cross addiction but if you do decided to take xanax kps or some time of anti anxiety, i wouldnt be too worried about getting addicted because it does take time to set in your system befor becoming dependent so maybe try? thanks again for writing, good luck!!

thanks for replying and i know i really thought my withdrawls would have been over about day 5 and this is probally my 5th time coming off and its never been this long so it is very shocking, today i def feel better but ive had days already where i feel ok then the next is awful, so hopefully ill only have the 2 wks like your husband did, and i didnt breast feed just because of the subs its forbidden by the state basically, cant breast feed on any pain killers methadone nothing similar

Hey, so first thank you for replying and im sorry this is so long, while i was pregnant i was on the exact same dose as you i was taking literally an 8th of an 8mg subutex tablet or less and unfortunally she did come out with some withdrawl symptoms but not nearly as bad as it would be for methadone or benzos, it was a very mild withdrawl but she did have to stay in the nicu for almost 3 wks which was tramatic for me to watch obviously to see my first child in there BUT it 100% IS dangerous to wein all the way off, i tried 3x just so i could be completley clean for delivery and it will take a toll on the fetus and can potentionally miscarry also my obgyn advised me all 3x to NOT go off that i had already been on for 4mnths so unless you catch it very early id say no dont get off, i also heard its diff for everyone that it depends how much actual filters threw the placenta i think.. oh and to end this shes now 16 months and completley perfect beautiful and brillant, best of luck<3

Hey. I am on day 8 of a subutex detox and reallt suffering. Physically I am improving but mentally I am very very wired....feel like I am on speed. Am worried it will not go....have to be back at work in a week. I am taking zopiclone to sleep but am worried about cross addiction....just want to be completely clean as want to have a baby.

I am told you can feel bad for up to 2 weeks then another 2 weeks to get energy back. I have epsom bath salts vit b 12 and am trying to eat.

There is no way round this just through it...it has to hurt....I find the mental part the worst....I just want to relax naturally....I know if I keep going I will I dream of going to bed and falling asleep with no drugs in me....it will feel so good.

Keep going....you ve got 2 days on me....we ll get there.

At 10 days, this sounds totally normal.  Subs, wether they be subutext or suboxone's, take quite a while to come out of your system.  What blows my mind even more is the fact that you were only taking 1/8th of 1 8mg pill and still getting the ****** w/d???  But I've seen that happen.  I was on a high dose 24mg and it took 3/4 weeks to even remotely start to feel better.  My husband was only taking 1/2 of 8 mg and he suffered for like 2 weeks?  If you are at day 10....then just move forward....your almost there, I promise!  I was never explained by my dr about the subs extra, extra, long half life that takes way longer to come out of your system.  Hot epsom salt baths, lots of vitamins, potassium, immodium (for the runs if there still with you), I took also L-Tyrosine in the a.m. on an empty stomach, helped food absorb better so my body got more of the nutrients.  High volume protein bars and shakes for sure!  
Your not having anything abnormal, I promise.....it's subs!  Keep pushing yourself.  BTW...if your breastfeeding then I would double check on the immodium and L-tyrosine with your ob first.

I'm sorry I wish I could answer your question but I haven't got that far yet. But I was wondering if your baby had any withdrawal symptoms when she was born? Because I myself am pregnant and on subutext I only take an 8th of a 8mg pill so about 2mg, and I'm so worried about the baby having to withdrawal after its born but tbe doctor I see won't let me ween all the way off while pregnant. So I was just wondering how things turned out when you had the baby?

Hi.  I'm glad you took my suggestion and did a separate posting.  I thought I would pop by on my lunch break and pleasantly surprised to find this.

Unfortunately I have never been on subs so I am not the right person to help you but we have a lot of folks on here who can and will help you.  Many of the peeps that need to talk to you aren't here yet but please be patient and keep checking back on your posting.

As the day goes on you WILL get responses and the support you need.  In the meantime read other postings, do a search for postings that have sub, suboxone and subutex in the title...that will also help you a ton.  You can even go to the bottom of the page and just search page by page.  Every week someone comes here needing help and support to get off the subs so you will find some good reading I think.

Remember, keep checking back and be patient.
