I really appreciate your post. It gives me a lot of hope. I'm 20 years old.and have been a user since about 16
I'm starting sub tomorrow. I'm concerned on how much I should take and.for how long.. will it just be over after a few days on the sub? I'm so nervous and excited. This is my second time I will be clean. I was clean 5 months.after leaving rehab im two days and deciding to do it myself. By the way.. I read the whole post:).thank you so much for the hope! Keep up.the amazing work. I'm so happy for you!

Hello! So I have been reading so much because I am so scared to go through major withdrawal. For about a year my doc put me on perc 30s for a major back injury. A month ago they changed my meds to diluaded (the DEA is cracking down on p30s in Philly) so I haven't taken any 30s in a month but that month I did take diluaded. I have had enough!! I want to be happy again. I'm seeing myself get out of control. My tolorence is growing rapidly. I broke down n told my husband, he's very supportive n wants me better. I got 1 8mg suboxone n cut it into 4-5 peices n I am on day 3 n woke up feeling a lot better then yesterday. I took a small peice today on day 3 n now I have 1 peice left possible two if I cut it into 2 more peices. My question is, by day 4-5 when I don't have anymore suboxone left, am I gonna go through WD bad? How do u think I'll feel by then? I heard diluaded gets out of ur system a lot quicker then any other opiate so I really pray at the end of my one 8mg cycle I been cutting down to small peices n tapering down each day, please help!! My anxiety is driving me crazy!!

Well here we go again. I'm going to try using subs. I have 3-8mg strips. I'm using about 3 grams of H daily. I've gone through this detox ride so many times before, it's been so terrible. When I get clean I feel great! I always think "I can't believe I let myself get that bad. I'm never going to do that again. Never want to withdrawl again. In so happy when I'm clean!" Then, sure as hell, cravings come creep back up out of NOWHERE. I'll last about a week ignoring that nagging voice/feeling. I'm an attractive, hard working, nice, helpful, loyal trustworthy guy. I'm 28 and I only wish that before I'm 30 I'll finally REALLY be over. My longest time bring sober is about 4 months straight. Will I ever be able to get over this? How many girlfriends do I have to let dien and lose? How many times must I disappoint my parents? Disappoint my real friends? Well. I'm going to wait till this 1/4 OZ. is gone, wait as long as possible, then take 4mg. I hope that goes, then go from there. You all have been very helpful and have learned something from all of your posts. I hope you all can get better and stay better! W/d sucks. There is nothing that will make you avoid it completely. But think about it. You deserve to feel like s*** for a couple of days after what you have done to your body and to other people. How you have let the people you love down. Get better and go volunteer to feed the homeless. Get hobbies. I hope I can do those things and feel better. I just wish I didn't find out about the Silk Road this last month. That made staying clean in the future more difficult, that's for sure. But then again that is where I got the Suboxone, so maybe it will turn out to be a good thing. Wish me luck and I wish all of you the very best. I thank you for sharing your stories. It helps me with my problem, and I know it helps others.

nothing is wrong with u. thats just herion for u!! its the fffff'n devil. everytime u try to quite, the drug somehow calls u back. u just need to reallllly want to quit, use suboxone for about 4 days, i wouldnt go more then 4 days on subs because then ull just be addicted to subs. trust me, i have tried every option, i failed all of them, and i figured out what works. and u really dont need that much subs. they are pretty strong. take about a quarter of a sub. and wait till u are hurting pretty bad until u take that quarter. good luck. all addicts been through it, have some WILL POWER

All your posts have made me feel better, I was taking Vic's Oxys basically whatever I could to not feel sick, I recently took subs for just three days in the beginning. I have been clean for a week, I think I have said the phrase it's just in your head a million times. I work And go to school full time and I'm fine when I'm there but I still want to get high I am trying to overcome this horrible depression, I want energy to live my life, any suggestions?
I always used the excuse that if I got high I could clean or get stuff done but rarely accomplished it I just want my life back!!!!! This has been my 3 rd relapse and it has to stop I am done with the bs the hurting loved ones and risking my life.
just need suggestion on. How to get motivation and energy

Omg you sound just like me. I did the same thing, I just want my energy back. I wanna be normal again! When I'm out n doing s*** I feel fine but once I'm home sittin around I get the itch for them!!! Wtf!!! Just know the thoughts will go away n u will get energy back. I did this back in 2009 stayed sober then got injured bad on my nursing job n the last year had to take perk 30s. I used a small amount of subs a few days also tapered down wit perk 10s for two days then perk 5 for two days. Just keep swimming! Hahahaha sorry my son is obsessed with finding nemo and he's watching it now n that damn just keep swimming song is stuck in my damn head hahahaha.you can do this. In 2009 when I did it, I didn't feel energized or normal or no drug thoughts about 3 weeks after not taking anything good luck keep in touch

Here goes.... Been taking perc 10's (about 10-15 a day) for about 10 years now. I've tried to clean up several times, even tried the methodone route. Tried to do it the right way, going through a clinic. But, I'm a nurse and I cannot risk someone I have a professional relationship with seeing me there. Naturally, I relapsed. I have to stop.... Recently met my soul mate.... And I cannot risk losing what I have. I'm so terrified of the withdrawals. Bought some Subs today (8 mg strips) and I'm gonna try this on my own. I cut it in 4ths and took one about 4 this afternoon. So far, so good. How should I dose myself in the beginning? Should I be on a schedule or just take a little bit as the w/d's begin to come back? I have 10 strips so I figure that should get me through? Any advice is much appreciated. I've been here and failed so many times before. On the outside, I appear healthy, successful and "together" but I'm living a double life and it's killing me.....suggestions?

Thanks Matt. Very inspiring story. However, as a professional in the medical community I am terrified of being "called out" and discussed outside the meeting. I am a nurse and if that should happen, it would ruin my career.... Thoughts?

Thank you. So far, so good. It's not been as difficult as I thought. Sleeping is horrible.... The dreams and night sweats. I think if I can get through without the physical withdrawals I can do it..... All I have to do is look around and see what I have to lose. Been drinking a TON on water .... I CAN DO THIS. Right?? Ugh,...

Looking around and seeing what you can and WILL lose helps mentally, we sound alike. I do the same things, beautiful home everything I could want, I don't wanna lose all that or my family. Keep going girl. And yes! Drink lots of water, helps with the leg cramps and helps get the oxy out faster

10 strips is tooo much to take. Trust me. By the time u finish all 10, u WILL be addicted to the subs. I wouldn't break them down in a specific length, just tear off a small piece (maybe a little less then a 1/4th the whole sub). Wait about 30 min and see how u feel. Just take enough to not hurt. Don't take subs to feel "great". Just remember, there is NOO easy way out. But subs will ease the pain. So just take as little subs as possible for a week at most. Taper down everyday. Before u know it, in about a week, u won't need anything. But of course this will only work if u don't relapse and have that will power. Its realllly hard, but how much do u want ur life back??? Evvvvverytime u relapse, its gonna prolong the time it will take to get energy back. HOPE THIS HELPS

Thank you so much. I got the Subs Friday and I've not taken a full strip yet. The nausea is awful but haven't has the other typical signs of w/d (runny nose, achy legs, excessive yawning) last little bit I had of Sub was this morning at 7 and I'm praying to make it through the day on that dose. Admittedly, I am craving the "euphoria" but I refuse to give in. Just want to be normal again (whatever that is). Pathetic to make 80k a year and never have a dime. Thanks for the advice.

I have heard before once u relapse it's harder next time around. I don't understand that. Cuz like, I know people that get hurt n get a script of perk 10s for a month, they take them here and there but don't physically go through it. So what if someone was off subs and everything for 2 weeks and then decided to do a 15 or a 30...u really think u would withdrawl after doing it one day?

@allie yea I feel your pain. Listen I wouldn't take a whole strip the first shot. The less the best. Cuz u don't wanna get hooked on the subs. I did two film strips in two weeks 8mg ones. Cut them literally into tiny box shapes. The first day I took about a quater of the sub n cut the rest down. By the next week I had another sub and was able to just keep cutting smaller n smaller pieces. Yesterday was my last tiny little piece. I pray the pain in my legs stops that's my major issue. The leg pain :( wish me luck n good luck to u
