Hello, Liz! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about the bad experience you've had.

Suboxone, however, is an opiate, so withdrawals will be very tough and some effects may linger for a long time. There are risks associated with all medications, you really just have to learn everything you can about them, so you can make an informed decision on whether or not the possible benefits to you outweigh the risks.

The FDA lists typical withdrawal effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, rebound pain, drowsiness, fever and chills.

Have you looked into other causes for some of your issues? It sounds like you might be suffering from some depression.

Hey Verwon,
I have been through this battle with being addicted since I was 14. I am now 37 soon to be 38. I have Taken a multitude of classes on methadone maintenance while on that for six years and I know exactly what it is as I know what most is....bupeneprine is not at all widely understood. I began researching this after I nearly died. I came off of it in less than 3 weeks. I was on 2 & a half 8 MG subutex a day. I began tapering off quickly I want to correct this it took 4 weeks...on the final week I called my rx and ordered 2mg then went to the ER and was given a 7 day prescription for the 2
On the 3 from last day I went into a 24 hr coma I was vomiting while unconscious. ..even my father next door had no idea. By the grace of God I didn't asperate. I do credit my mom and God for looking over me...as far as depression well I WAS unknowingly very during those 3 and a half years. I was only existing. ..not living as many other posts like this read similar. I am more well adjusted than I have been in years!!!! I have been married over a year now. My husband is here moved from the UK. I spent 2 months over there not long after I got off suboxone. Backup, I threw the last 2 MG tabs in the bin and pored liquid over them...I've spent nearly 2 years with physical problems that never happened before. ..bp problems
..seizures. ..and kidney infections also brought into my pcp's office bc they were trying to shut down. ..now as far as am I depressed. ..my professional doctors in that department say an emphatic NO...am I stressed...being I'll over one thing or another when b4 I got off sub my only issues were hbp and degenerative disc disease for which I am disabled. ..but these health issues are scary as well as a strain on my life and my husband's. ..after research I have found that I am not alone others haven't been right since long term sub treatment and I am doing this discussion to gage just how many have this going on. ..it's not easy but I am clean and I credit that to myself and my loving no bs husband. If you have nothing to add about this then kindly not reply...I'm under the best medical and mental care I can be at this time. Simple fact is. .most Doctors and patients cannot understand sub. It is only a partial antagonist and tries to mesh with the brain and body but long term this can be devastating. .
I am hoping to hear from more whom have been through or are on sub for maintenance.
.blessings,
liz
