suboxone withdrawel

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

Carissa , ohhh many times ..(wish I hadnt )  I have a different DOC however .There are some things that helped me feel better faster .If you are not taking antidepressants there are a few supplements that really help with energy and mood. L'tyrosine  5 hpt   magnesium and calcium  vit b6 and 12. Getting exercise everyday even if its just out for a walk will really help get your body back to normal. If you ever need to talk feel free to PM me ..

absolutely. i have been having trouble the past 8 months . i am done for good. i was doing heroin. i am really done it is just the not feeling goodthing. i am past the worst of the withdrawels i was stuck with no energy which i know sticks aound for a good month or so that is from using dope for so long. i onlt took 2 ml a suboxone that will stay in my system awhile and i wil ltry not to take it for longer next time. i jus tdont want to go competely empty--no energy and the achy legs. whe ni get past the month mark i will work real hard at trying not to put a substance in my body. honestly this time  irelaly want it. i was not feling good yeasterday but ypu have to think i have only been off of dope since saturday at 3. it takes over a week for it to be compelely gone then two to three weeks to get backto normal. have you ever gone threw withdrawel

i have been using for like 8 months the first 2 every day and then after that i would use thurs-thru sun then take sub 2 ml to 4 ml a day. just recently i used for two weeks in a row and the lsttiemi used was saturday at 3pm. so sunday in the am i took 2ml to take the edge off and it did  then mon i took 1 ml and that was the last time till today at like 12 i didnt fel terrable but not comfortabl e to siut here. but i started exercising and taking vitamans i nthe pas tfew days so i am thinking maybe to do what uyou sadi nw every three days take 2ml sub the nmake it longerand longer. i think i am feeling narthatic from not having any endorfins. will they still kick back in if i dont use and only take a ml here and there. i haev to take care of my life and i cant  when i cant talk or walk.

Yes, it will effect your withdrawls.

I do not understand your taper system.  It would be
very helpful to knowyour DOC and the amount in
a day and for how long you used.  It is a bad idea to
just take 1mg of suboxone when you feel shakey.  I am
on suboxone and Suboxone w/ds are worse than hydrocodone
w/ds.  So if you want to use the suboxone to stop the
w/d's make a taper plan (that depends on how much you took)
exsample 1mg every other day for a week, than 1mg every 3 days
and so forth and so on.  Be careful with the suboxone it can be very hard
to get off of.

I think the problem comes from using sub to get off dope and really not knowing if it's helping or hurting because of the way you are taking it. I think it's easier to kick on the drug you are hooked on unless it's street dope.
