How To Get Off Suboxone (Page 33)

Updated

Im Marina Im 24 years old and a mother of 2 beautiul little boys. From the years 2006-2007 i was heavily addicted to Oxy 80 and eventually started doing herion. I got help in sep.2007 at a methadone clinic, it worked for as long as i was on the methadone i had NO relapse's. In June 2009 i was completly off of the methadone that first day that i was on 0Mgs I went through extreme withdrawls i went through things that i would never wish upon my worst enemy! i stayed that way for a day and a half and decided to go to a suboxone doctor. He put me on 32 mgs a day which i thought was pretty high of a dose but he explained to me that methadone withdrawls was worst then any other withdrawls. so i trusted him. Now when i go to see him every month i pretty much beg for him to start the weining process and start lowering me and he pretty much refuses. After months of being on 32mgs a day he finally started tapering me down slowly, i never really thought any thing of it till now but i realized he's keeping me on the suboxne for as long as posible so that he can get my $200.00 a month. all he is, is a legal drug dealer bc now im highly addicted to the suboxone. I recently had to go a few days with out my suboxone bc i didnt have the money to see him and i went through hell. i thought methadone withdrawl was bad OMG there is no comparison. i wanted to either use which i havent done in years or rip my face off lol its funny now but it definatley wasnt funny a few days ago while i was feeling that way! So i spoke to a good friend whos going through the same thing and he told me that they just came out with a new pill to get you off suboxone. I just want to know if that's true. I tryed googleing it but i cant find any thing. If you have heard of this new pill please respond or if you even have a good way to get off soboxone as painless and posible... thanx

Bananas or potassium for leg cramps. Bananas especially help calm the nervous system down. Read my other responses to people you will see what I'm taking and using. I'm day 3 no subs and feel better than any other time I've tried to do this...and I've tried at least 5 times and failed.

Hi Michele, To minimize wds don,t rush it. Taper slow and steady. Under 4mg a day do not drop more than 1mg at a time unitl your down to 1mg. Once there drop to .5 than .25mg.
The important thing is that each time you drop you got to wait at least a whole week or more. This gives the long half life of subs a chance to catch up.
From 4mgs your talking at least a month and a half to get down to where you could jump after a week on .25mg. Hope that makes sence.

Michelle I agree with Jolter you have to take your time. I actually waited longer than a week between drops because my body takes so long to start feeling ok with it. I would say you just have to drop every time you start feeling better, if you drop too quickly you will definitely feel the pain.

I also think it's a state of mind too, if you are ready to get off and determined it will be much easier on you. I tried several times and I just wasn't fully ready and because of that it was much harder. I hope everything goes well for you, keep checking this site because everyone always puts some really great ideas that work on here.

Good luck

I have been on suboxone for almost two years due to being addicted to tramadol , I have been cutting down myself my dr doesn't seem to think I should get off the sub saying the relapse rate is to high. A year ago I agreed with her but now I'm so very much stronger and very much determined to get off this stuff completely. I can't even stand the god awful taste anymore. So what I've been doing is taking about half a film roughly 4 mg every two days I have only five full strips left and don't want to go back to see my dr because I know she will only discourage me getting off it . Is it possible for me to get off of theses subs with having only 5 films left also without any withdraws that would only lead to getting back on them I desperately need advice and with all my heart I totally want off of theses drugs I'm a 54 yr old wife and mother of two boys one 20 the other 21 they are great kids and thank god don't do any drugs other then smoke pot but think all the other drugs everyone is doing is totally crazy and a waste of theyer life and my husband along with them all support me and know my sincerity in being more then ready and determined to be done with this ugluy part of my life .so any help you can offer in getting off of suboxone would be truly appericated

Robin,
I encourage you to co tinue with trying to get off of them but you will most likely have to see your doctor again. You can not jump from taking 4 mg to nothing, you have to do it slowly or else you will want to relapse. I suggest you start taking 3 mg a day for about a week then 2 and so on until you get to .25 or .50 mg then try to get off from there.
I am shocked any doctor put you on suboxone because of tramadol...that is mind blowing! Anyway you are going to have to taper down until you are almost at nothing without feeling sick. You haven't been on too long so I think you should be ok.
I stopped when I was on for about 2 years but I am back on and have been on for 7 years, I am only on .50 mg a day but that last but is killing me. The half life is so long as well that the first week or so you may think you are doing well then it hits you pretty hard.
I wish you the best of luck!

I just saw your post about getting off of suboxone. I'm desperate. First of all. ... I've been on it for so long simply because I thought I couldn't get off without going through hell. I'm not interested in using at all. I hate it. I have a severe back problem and saw I was becoming addicted to opiates and sub was supposedly the answer. I only take 2mg strip that i make last 4 or 5 days. I just had surgery 2 weeks ago and i didn't tell my doctors which is awful but i was so ashamed. So i quit 3 days before and just took perc to get me through so i didn't feel any withdrawal. I didn't get high at all. Even in the hospital i got no high from anything just pain relief. Now I'm post op and down to the last of my 5 mg perc halved and I'm starting to feel withdrawal. The hot sweaty flashes and the restless legs. I was wondering if i could just take a tiny tiny bit of subox for like 4 days as needed only and be done. Thoughts?God bless you for any help. ..Ali

Ali I did the same thing last year, I had a double mascetomy and took the percocets as needed and thought I would be fine to get off the subs. Unfortunately the subs have a very long half life and even after being off for 3 weeks I was still having WD symptoms. If you are going to stop the subs I recommend that you go down to taking about .50 or .25 of mg first for a few weeks. Once you are comfortable with that dose then I would jump off. I got off and took tramadol to ease the WD symptoms. I didn't really feel bad until about day 8, after day 8 I was misurable for the next 2 weeks with no energy and hot sweats and no sleep. So after 3 weeks I ended up taking SUbs again but am getting ready to try again. Right now I take .50 mg a day and I am going to cut that in half first for a couple weeks.
I hope things work for you but my experience after being on this for 7 years is getting to the lowest dose first

It's another form of suboxone made by a competitive pharmaceutical company. I went to my legal drug pusher this week and he ripped me off for the last of my money and then told me to fend for myself to find the money to fill the script he gave me. OMG he's the worst person I ever met. If you find a way off this drug let me know !!! I did it for 3 ,months and went back on. Now I have COPD and nobody will touch me! I have MEDI CAL and think I'm going to just die !

If your on suboxone for abusing drugs I dont think a doctor is going to turn around and give you what you want. especially benzo's. using a highly addictive drug to get off anothet wont work. Everyone would be using xanax to get offf bupe /done if that was the case

Hello I have a question I'm on 2 mg every day and a half .. I still wake up with wd ready to jump off a bridge. how many days before the hard part passes?

Denise
You should probably take it everyday but lower your dose. If you are feeling sick you are coming down too fast. You really can't jump off until you get to about .50 or .25 mg a day and your body has adjusted to that.
2 mg is too much to try and stop on.
I wish you the best!
