how can I reduce with drawl symptoms of subs?

While camping I lost my subs. My dr. won't be able to get me a new script until Monday. I'm already going through with drawls (vomiting, diarrhea, head aches, sleeplessness). What can I do to help get through the next few days. I have to work tomorrow and feeling like this there is no way. What can I do to ease this withdrawl?

Thanks for that. I wish I had Xanax or Valium, even fenagrin.  but I have no connect or dr. to prescribe. I guess I might go to the ER, but I don't have insurance nor the $ to pay for it (Subs are VERY expensive). This ***** in so many ways. I'm drinking lost of water (and spending copious amounts of time in the bathroom...) Thanks for the information. Now when I get off this stuff I'll at least know what pharms to stock up on.

I know how you feel. That happened to me before. I am not a medical doctor our anything like that, the only thing that ever has helped me some is Xanas or Valium. Do have another Dr. that perhaps can help you out. Keep in mind the dope sickness should stop when you get your subutex. Drink lots of water & Gaterade, immodium, try to occupy yourself, to keep it out of your mind. You may want to go to the ER if you can, they may be able to help. If they won't give subs for the weekend. Sometimes they might, if no ask about clonidine it helps with withdrawals. Also potassium and magnesium have helped me before
Good luck to you. Feel free to message or leave me a note, if you would like some other ideas. P.S. if you don't have insurance, don't worry they have to treat you, just claim that you are indigent. Let me kinow how things. Looking forward to here from you.

Do you think he's suspicious of something?   16mg...Have you ever gone without that high a dose before??

I'd be back at that camp site searching! Did you look everywhere??

I'm on 16mg daily for about 1yr. I've been 2 days w/o them already. 2 more will be hell! My dr. WON'T write the script till Monday. Who knows if he CAN. Sounds like there's nothing to do but wait it out in bed. I need to get off this stuff. It's becoming as bad as the original drugs I was taking when I started subs to clean up.

Were you on a high dose?  Your doctor doesn't/won't want to help you out here?

All you can do is treat the symptoms: Immodium,Pepto,Motrin...Can you call the doctor back and ask if you can a few until Monday?
