Wow, that's great! I'm amazed to hear you are doing so good so soon. For some people it takes a little longer time before they feel as good as you do. I wish I would have known about this site back in November when I was detoxing. I had a difficult time trying to get treatment for Suboxone. It was like going through an obstacle course before I finally, actually got my first prescription! I'm still very happy for you and glad to have been any help. I'm new at this site but I've learned a lot before getting here. You know... attitude means a lot and you have a really good attitude. Gratitude means a lot also, it helps in having a good attitude. You express a lot of gratitude for the support you got from everyone and that's a good thing. I'm proud of you and I'm sure your family is proud of you too. Enjoy you new life!
Later,

Hey UPPY ,I'm so glad for you. To answeryour question i am taking vicodin 7.5/750 4 times a day. I should say was. I have not taken any for about 2 weeks now. I was also taking wygesic once in a while. I quit the wygesic about 6 months ago.I have turned into a hermit in the last couple years or so.I don't go any where or see anyone unless they come to my home. Sometimes the pain is so bad i have a really tuff time of it. I feel like I let so many people down by my drug use.Right now it feels like my insides is running away with me. Keep up the good work UPPY. I'm going to go for now.

It truly is sweetlemelon I am happy again for once. I sleep all night last night that's the first time that has happened in ten years. I used to get up three four times a night and having to fight off the urge to take a pill because my mind and body was telling me to then couldn't sleep past 4:30. Well today I didn't get up till 9 and it felt great. I will always be grateful for the kind words and support that you gave me and I hope that I can still lean on and look to you for support for days to come I know I feel great but I also know that this will always stay with me my whole life the addiction that is so I am going to have to take it a day at a time and just work really hard to stay clean and happy. But I know I can do it and will do it for now and everyday to come for the rest of my life. Well looking forward to hearing from you soon Always thankful chris

Hello ,u Dear Friend,
I have thought about you over the last few days when I was awake you were on my mind, Thursday I had to be away to do the friend who died, I sing again today, I am just so happy it makes me so uplifted to know that you are feeling better! I know I PM you a lot but it was because of genuine concern!
23 Apr 2011
Wow, way to go! I sincerely wish that I could have your optimistic view as well! I went down on my benzo and cut off several different meds only to find myself in a ton of pain, back on more meds, and now battling severe depression without taking the Abilify, something that I'll probably have to go back on as I can barely get out of bed. Nonetheless, I really am happy for you, and hope to see the sun as well through the rain and clouds. You've made a great choice, and am sincerely glad to see you doing well!

Wow, i couldnt be happier for ya uppy... I recently turned over a new leaf as well in my life... although i missed my weekend dose, which was a very scary ordeal, im pushing thru it tho like its nothing... I cnt imagine myself goin back to that everyday lifestyle of having to take things and risk jail time, n never seeing my daughter again... If there ever is a messege to get across to others, it is simply this... please get the help if u feel its needed. I personally am on methadone, and yes its like trading one addiction for another, but none the less, I have my life back. I am no longer in search of a better drug to get rid of my pain, i can be free minded about the day to day activitys, and enjoy every moment i possibly can with my daughter, who is my life, my beauty, and my world.

Hey Von so nice to meet you. Addiction can be very overwhelming and when it gets to a cretin point you just want to block yourself off from the world because it just seems easier not to deal with anyone else. But my friend I can tell you this is not the answer I have a very bad opiate addiction that I'm in recovery for now and will always be for the rest of my life but it has got so much better now that I reached out and asked for help. I know zanax is a hard thing to withdrawal from and the lexapro not sure if your doctor could switch you to something else that would work better for you. Please Von talk to your doctor about your problem and ask him to help you get out of this rut. I can tell you that life is a wonderful thing and we should never let it pass us by. I did for so many years and finally got help and for once I feel like I'm living again it's all the little things that I missed so many years wasted cause I was at the bottom of a pill bottle.

I'm here for you Von plus so many others are to I know what it's like to have panic attacks and the constant stress just eating at you but there are people here who could help in so many ways and hopefully we could get you back on the road and out enjoying your life again I'm sure you have a family who loves and cares about you very much and would love to see you out of your house enjoying a nice sunny day at the park or just a walk around the block so I'm going to keep checking in on you and I will pray for you and your family to to help you through this time in your life hope to hear back from you soon Your friend Chris
I tried my best to come off subs completely, but continued to get profuse sweating. Every single time I thought I could get through it, I had to take a tiny amount (.25 mg!!) just to take the edge off... job interviews or whatever, it just isn't a good thing to have the sweats all the time. When this started, I thought Oxycodone was my only probably; shows how much I know. I had been on 2 mg of benzodiazepines up to 6 time a day for about a year to a year and a half. Can someone please tell me how long that takes to clear? I have a feeling the benzos are the things that are slowing the detox process down. If I take .25 mg I seem to be ok; is that psychological or can that tiny amount really deliver a therapeutic value? I don't want to take anymore suxoxone than I have to because I just can't go through another withdrawal. I feel like my whole life revolves around this and it is really getting me down, exhausted and can't live a normal life.

I would love nothing more than to be completely clean for good. Can someone PLEASE tell me if I stop, and pitch the last few crumbs of suboxone, how long it might take to get through it and feel human again? Thanks everybody
uppy, thanks for your kind words! Im trying!!!
Thank you so much for what you said. Guess what I went to see my brother in law today and I also went in Wal mart, have not done that in 10 mo, not wal mart. Stay out of big places, where alot of people are. But I had a good time. Thanks
