Suboxine withdraw ..
I've been going through subox withdrawls I recently bought some tramadols and took them. I can't sleep I can't eat I'm sweating uncontrollable . I'm out of town on work with all strangers and nobody knowing my demons so I'm working and going through complete hell . 10 hours a day 5 days a week no sleep . Addict for 8 years total . Tramadol seemed to help make w/d tolerable but I'm scared I'm goin to have to start all over because I made the mistake of taking them . Please help I don't have much money I wanna keep my job what can I buy to at least put me to sleep I could handle every symthom of these wd besides restless leg and sleeplessness . What can I do to ease it with no doctors ???? I really just wanna sleep I'll pass out for an hour and wake up wide away tonight I haven't slept at all and have to be up in an hour I really just need help I need somebody to talk to that has gone through this ... I think about killing my self at least 20 hours a day . I attempted it before but my girlfriend came home from work early and found me and called 911 I should be dead so I feel like I'm being punished I'm sorry I rambled and this might not make a lot of sense but please help somebody .... Anybody ........ The worst part is the only person who knows my demons was my girlfriend .. But she left and I don't blame her !

Most people find it difficult to come of Suboxone. One of the patients in our clinic, who we had to detox from Suboxone, was so addicted, that no matter how far down she titrated this drug she could not get off. At one point she was literally just licking the 1 mg strip, but she could not give it up. I find that most Suboxone prescribers tend to leave their patients on this drug as a form of maintenance and are either unwilling or unable to taper them off. It is unusual for a doctor to just cut a patient off. Tramadol is not a solution, because it is an opiate substitute and also very difficult to quit.
In case you are curious, it takes us about three to four days to get a patient off of any opiate including Suboxone, and feeling well. You are more than welcome to look at my clinic's website by clicking on my name and than the clinic's logo. Give us a call anytime if you have questions.
In the meantime see if a doctor can write you a prescription for some Requip for restlessness, Neurontin for anxiety and malaise, some Flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose, for sleep and Klonopin which will be helpful for sleeplessness and anxiety. It will make withdrawals easier. Valerian and Magnesium is sometimes helpful remedies over the counter.
The residual symptoms of insomnia and depression can last another few months. Thus, it is not easy, but it gets better and better over time and you can look forward to a drug free healthy energetic self in the future. When one takes opiates for a long time like you have, the body's physiology has been altered. The central nervous system has created a multitude of opioid receptors that all are screaming for endorphins (opiates) to fill them, but one's body has now forgotten how to make them by itself. It will take time - two to four weeks at least, for your receptors to down-regulate (for the brain begin to heal) and to start making its own endorphins. Brain heals pretty slowly, so it may take as long as a couple of months to get rid of feelings of sluggishness, restlessness and depression. The best thing to do is take good care of oneself, eat healthy food, stay hydrated, keep active and busy. Stay away from sugar, soda, and simple carbs. Do not consume caffeine at least 6 hours prior to bedtime.
Take a look at my blogs about options for detox and recovery. You may also take a look at my clinic website where I also have my blogs and a lot of other info about drug addiction and recovery. Look especially into the blog and the info on Naltrexone therapy after getting clean. It really improves your chances of staying clean for good by cutting down your physical cravings. Look into my clinic website as well. All this can be done by clicking on my name in blue. Good luck.
