suboxone withdrawel

[CarissaLou]

I have been on suboxone for 3 months--not entirely. not every day becuz i did use here and there. i used for two weeks straight then i took two ml of suboxone one day the nthe next day i took i ml and now it has been 50 hours since i took anything. i am narthatic-- no fuel and my legs are crampy but i have to say last year i got clean i used for 8 months straight no breaks at all--this time i took a week at a time of fand had very little habit. do u think i am throug hthe worst now. i cant sleep but i take serequil. i guess my question is what other things can i do to amke the next 30 days easier. i know that i am withdrawing from opaites not the suboxone. if i take suboxone off and on like 1 ml every two or three days is it going to interupt the proces of my body getting back to normal. i dont think so becuz my habit wasn't bad. please if anyone know abouthtis stuff please help me understand

than kyou for the info. i am not using any otherdrugs. i have been off of opiates for 6 days now. i took sub in withdrawels on the 2nd day but only 2 ml and the n1 ml the next the nwent 50something hours and felt exausted and emotionalliss so i took 2ml and now i havent took any sub in almost 48 hours. but very tired and a little anxiety. i know it takes atleast 20 days to feel normal. im counting doe ndoen the days but have really bad anxiety. so if i have to take a ml here and there to make it through month do u think it will interfere with the process. some have told me know.

You may be getting sick from using opiates one day, and then Suboxone the next day. The suboxone binds to the portion of your brain that accepts opiods much stronger than the opiods themselves, so what will happen when you take the Suboxone after taking an opiod it will make you sick. Think of it this way. Say you took 2 oxicontin 80's and you had all of that in your brain, and then you take a Suboxone....because the Suboxone binds so much stronger than the Oxi or any other opiod, it is going to blow off all of the other drug and replace it with the Suboxone which is not a full agonsit, it is a half agonist, making it not as "powerful" as oxicodone, or pretty much an otehr drug you are taking. So even if you felt sick befoer you still do have some of the drug in you, and when you take a Suboxone you will instantly go from having say 50% of what your body needs per day, to having 0% of what your body needs. This will leave you sick. If you were a very heavy user you would notice this much much worse, it happened to me, and that is what put me in the hospital. Within minutes of taking the Suboxone(because I did not wait long enough, you have to be in FULL w/d:shaking goosbumps, vomitting, anxiety the whole works) I was thrown into the worst sickness you can possibly imagine. So this could be what is making you sick, it is a horrible idea to use other drugs while taking Suboxone it is very dangerous, and it will make things worse. Why are you using the drugs still anyway? is it because you want to get "high" every now and again, because the suboxone will take away sickness, but not get you high, and if you are still desiring the high, then you may as well jsut use drugs, until you are actually ready to quit. Good Luck

hi there..how much of the L-tyrosine do you take?  and do u take it more than once a day?  i noticed that it says to take it in the morning on an empty stomach...i am also taking the B6 with it and then the B12...after that settles a little i take the 5hpt and a daily with energy and calcium, magnesium, and zinc combo pill...
i have been clean for 27 days and i still dont have the energy back yet...but maybe im just thinking of the energy i had when on the percs or subs...and i will never have that kinda of energy...that is why i used...the energy was great and i actually accomplished things!  thanks for your help!

ur drug of choice is not one of the most common here but it is still a narcotic...and the withdrawls would be like a narcotic....a narcotic is a narcotic unless u r speaking of sub or meth...a bit different....dont feel that u have anything to hide cos u dont girl!   everything is ok here...ok to say how u feel and what u need...so u may have a mixture of ur drug of choice...which we will say is a high mg a day habit of a strong narcotic that u quit a few days ago and recently off sub as well.....

so u were on sub for 8 months(but used a bit of ur doc here and there during this time)...stopped sub and used a strong narcotic for 2 weeks..then a few days of sub...now 50 hours with nothing   right?

If this is not right...let us know...i dont think she needs to hear how indecisive she has been thus far...she is trying to be decisive now and needs our help

how do u feel?...lethargy can be helped alot with the supps avis mentioned

I would try something like 5 hpt (good for mood and sleep ) and l'tyrosine (it is an amnio acid great for energy).before going on antidepressants sometimes .I think natural works better . A little walk on the tredmill along with these supplements and in a week or two I think you would feel much better .It is worth a try it really did work for me .In 14 days I felt better then I ever had.

thank you for your advice i need it. i have gone through ti quite a few times but the last time was memorable. ahahah do u think maybe an antidepressant may help? i started tkaing two days ago amulti vitamn, today i took b6 and b12 with a baanana the potassuim is good. and i ahve been eating protein the past fewnights. L TYROSINE I HAVE HEARD ALOT ABOUT WHTA IS IT . i did the tredmill last night even though i didnt want to. so you can see that i can do it withoutthe subox but hoenstly i would rather not fee lmiserable the whole month of the recovery process. i am goingto to do the tredmill everyday so maybe by next week i =dont even have to take a ml of sub here nadthermy energy will be built by me working out. right?
