Suboxone withdrawal.

Question

I have been doing crumbs of suboxone everyday for the past 10 months or so. I WANT my life back and to be free of suboxone. Im not prescribed to it, one pill last me up to 3 weeks to a month. I've tried to get off of it, but I can't take the withdrawal, the depression and the RLS is the worst for me. Anybody have any advice with this? I know im at a very low dose but it still seems like its gonna be harddd. I used to do a quarter a day. I read alot of forums and people say there PAWS, where you will be depressed for up to a year, I cant take the depression. NEED HELP PLEASE!

This discussion is related to how long until the depression subsides?.

Yeah I was thinking about doing that, but I have NO energy what so ever without it. But I guess I should suck it up.

maybe you should stop taking it 2 days before the last day of work because well in my case the third and forth day are the hardest then it give you a few days of being sick not at work

Im planning on stopping the 31st of this month. I requested off of work for 5 days, work is also a main concern for me. I can't loose my job. Thank you for replying to my posts, I find the internet a good support system, even tho some of the stories are scaring me. I just want to get off of it and not have depression. Sub just makes me feel normal. And I want to be normal without it. I have a half of pill left and do not plan on buying anymore. Im just extremely terrified of the w/d. I've w/d from heroin and that was rough but not long, I'd almost rather go threw the intense pain of w/d from straight narc. for 5 to 10 days rather than months, possibly years of paws. I hope there really is a light at the end of the tunnel.

can you go on a anti depressant like cipralex? it really helps me alot and i been on pretty much every anti depressant in the past 15 years i find its the best one. drinkin nyquil before bed helps with the withdrawl a little not alot but it stops the mouth waters and the legs for me
