emotional part lasted well into 2 months...each day gets better.  Think of your awakening as a new journey finding yourself again after living in the med world.

Read the PAWS info...should help quite a bit.

Girl...................you can do this!  I know that you want to get back to yourself. I think it might help you a bit if you almost just "accept" that you feel like ****, and the sweating, etc, and almost just embrace it. Does that make sense?  Just do REALLY small things. Like, a load of laundry, and that's it. Or watch a movie w/your daughter, something seriously mindless. Even thought I know this may not help, the w/d's from sub, are far less intense that coming straight off of vics or percs, atleast it was for me. I think on day 5, I went to the gym and did the elliptical for like 20 min, really slow, and it kinda helped

I have never had suboxone wd before...I know they say it is much less intense than full agonists..but I had wondered how long the loss of energy and depression lasted after taking sub for a while....it took a few months for me to feel my old nrg and motivation after detox from hydros..but the sick feeling was gone in less than a week..with the runs being the longest symptom that I had....i know it ook a while to feel motivated again tho...how many days off the sub r u?  it gets better..exercise helped me the most..hang tight and keep moving forward.
