i am a recovering alcoholic and hurt my back got hooked on oxycodone and went to a oupatient detox. they gave me 8mb of suboxne then 4mg hen 2mg in 10 days. i got out then started having withdrawls and i hate them i have withdrawled from alcohol many times and it is not pleasent.i like a dummy got suboxne of the street took 8mgs the first day then 4mg for 3 days now im back too 2mgs now. i want to stop they gave me flexaril clonodine and sleep  pills at the detox but im almost oot. i have some ketorlac i want to know if i can take that its like flexaril i think to help the withdrawls i just want to stop. im starting to get aching in my legs and restless and i had the seats real bad for a few days but now im down to 2mgs again i want to be done with it. if anybvosy has any suggestions to how i should taper of i would really appreciate thank you for reading god bless

I have to disagree with vicky. If i am calculating right, you have been on the subs for 2 weeks? So you will do a c/t if you just stop at 2mg. In my opinion you would be best tapering down to nothing over th next week. Its best to drop in increments of 0.4, right down to 0.2. If you are having to cut up your pills to drop, then doing it 0.5 at a time should be ok. If you can manage to do that over the next week you should not feel much withdrawal symptoms at the end. The important thing with Subs is to get the taper done in 3 weeks, that way the detox off the original opiate is done, and the subs haven't had time to build up in your system. The key is to get right down to 0.4 in that timescale. Dont stay on them any longer though. If you maintain on them and let them build up in your system they are a nightmare to get off!!!! Best of luck

No. It's not bad. You'll have withdrawals no matter what. We just can't avoid that. So just get it over with! You don't want to get hooked on Suboxone now...

thanks vicki i appreciate the help but wouldnt stopping suboxne suddenly be a bad thing or is the symptoms  i have is the end of withdrawl?

[vicki595]

Don't take any more Sub. It won't help at this point. The withdrawals you feel are from the oxy and they'll pass soon if you stay away from the Sub!

Get some Immodium. Get vitamins and take magnesium and potassium for RLS. Force fluids and eat small meals.  You'll make it!!
