Thank you for your story gives me hope to keep pushing !
I was on methadone for 9 years, quit that and got on suboxone. I started at 20 mg a day and over a period of three years I weaned down to 4 mg a day by October 2011. From there I began a rapid detox taking only a barely visible sliver of an 8 mg strip 1 or 2 times a day until my last strip was gone by December 5, 2011. The biggest problem was inability to sleep at night. I never stopped working my job and took ibuprofen to combat the symptoms. It took three or four months to be able to feel completely free of withdrawal symptoms. Luckily my wife has never shared my addiction to opiates and was able to be there when I needed some moral support. It's been over a year and a half and I am drug free. It was never easy but I stuck it out and am grateful I did.
I am not trying to get on suboxone !!!!! I just wanted to make are w.d symptoms minumial . Its been 4 days and I haven't even used a full 8 mlg strip .
