| | TO ROBERT_325!! Sub W/d ROBERT.. I had spent hours going through and reading all these posts last nite and i cant believe some of the people on here first off.. Getting on suboxone treatment for taking 5 750MG viks? THats just stupid, isnt subs meant for ppl who had been taking high doses for a long time? and all the ppl on here bashing suboxone and the w/d symptoms i dont understand.. Well no ******** cuz you been on suboxone for 2 yrs and started out taking 24 mgs, my goodness! So i need and want your help, just from reading all these posts it sounds like you have helped many many ppl and i had no clue that you could w/d so bad from subs, but i guess thats just the idiots who dont kno what there doing huh!! So heres my story for you, I WAS addicted to oxycontin for many many years (5) and for 2 of those yrs strictly only took oxys, i went to rehab was sober for a month then relapsed.. From there i was never as bad as i used to be w/ OC, so i would take oxy about 2-4 x a week, and inbetween those days i would take suboxone and I HAVE NEVER TAKEN MORE THAN 2MG OF SUBS IN ONE DOSE, NEVER! I had never seen the need to take so much when i didnt need that much yah kno? not even 4mg ive taken at once, I would take 2 mg in morning and 2 mg at nite but that was the highest i ever got on subs.. And then approx 22 days ago I quit OC and WEED and have never looked back since and have never been more serious about quitting both of those drugs.. So i have been on Suboxone only for approx 3 weeks.. and in that tiem period i believe i havnt used more than 4 8mg suboxone, I would do more certain days.. like before i was going out on a friday or sumthn would do a 2mg just cuz i thought it made me feel better and more energy but only did that a few times in this 22 day time period that ive been on the subs completely ( oh and i have been sniffing them, i kno not good.. so starting today i started under tongue again ) LIke i said i have never done more than 2 mg in one dose, i would actually say its more like 1 mg cuz now it hink about it when i break a 8mg into 4 pieces, i think those pieces are huge adn break those down to either 2 or 3 lil pieces.. so my doses have never been high and have always been really really low just cuz i had no urge to take more and havnt neeeded it and becuz i didnt go to doctor and bought off street i believe has helped me cuz sound like a doctor trys to get addicts on such a high dosage which is not necessary and did not give then adequate information as to how much they needed, i believe starting out lower than higher is much smarter becuz u can always take another smaller piece untill u feel no w/d! So my friend i kno its kinda complicated buit i need and want your help becuz i have only about 2-3 mg left, but are broken into about 5-7 lil pieces.. and duno if i can get more subs, im pretty sure i can but if i do only going to get 1 or 2! Like today, its hard to judge the MG, but i'd say i definetly did not take more than .5 mg, so help my friend so i dont experience w/ds becuz i just want to be done and over with any **********g drug and any dependancy i have on anything! I dont want to rely on sumthn to make me feel good ne more! I kno my w/ds will obviuosly not be as bad as someone who has been taking 16 mg for a year but i kno i will still have some? So whats best way that i can not have NE! THx bro you are a savior, just like suboxone has been a savior in my life!! Jason
-Sorry i posted this in the other threat about suboxone w/d, but figured it would be much easier just to post my own so it was as confusing and me and you could just talk on a daily basis!! But if you had any more questions, or i didnt explain in detail enough then just ask.. Im sick today so not working, and no not w/d sick lol my GF gave me her flu bug =( So just on here reading threads! I have been a member to topix.com, duno if you go there or post there but ran across this website and believe it gives ALOT more sound advice that topix, cuz that site has ppl tryn to sell OC and what not and tho there are good ppl there the majority is not! So im goin to stick to this site and try to become " part of the family" lol so thank you very much for your help and your time.. Its ppl like you in this world that we need more of, just willing to take time out of your life to help others! Truly amazing, god bless u |

| | Jason I'm glad you started your own thread. This will make it easier for me to keep up with you.
First thing is STOP snorting anything. That is addict behavior and that has to stop immediately. NO more snorting of anything for any reason. Enough said, you know that is wrong.
You need to get on a stable dose regardless of what it is. Stop breaking the pills up into little pieces that it's impossible to tell exactly what they are.  It's imperative that you do this on a regular regimen, the same way every single day. This is very important.
I want to see you start out at 2mg and we can work this from there. Remember that you're still kind of in opiate detox after effects still. That should be a dose that you have no problem with based on what you say. I am very happy to see that you're smart enough not to have taken huge amounts in the past. That will make this easier. As you said we can and WILL lower the dose but I want you to be at a dose that is okay for you only being a few weeks into this as that is the way I read your post.
Starting tomorrow take 1mg when you get up and then take 1mg about 5:00 in the afternoon. Let's do that for four days. After four days of being on that same dose every day, taking the subs at the same time each day, then we will begin tapering you down and off. We can and will have you down to zero in a short time. Just communicate with me daily on this thread. Let me know exactly how you're doing. It won't be long and you will be another success story.
You sound like a fairly young guy. I give you credit for doing this and trying to change your life around. If you will just follow my suggestions to the letter I promise you I will stick this out with you until it's done. Stay in touch and let me know you're doing well. God bless.

| | Yes i kno i need to stop snorting them, and i did starting today.. I just thought it made the effects of subs kick in quicker and better tho it was prob all mental! So i will stop that immediately! and you say stop breaking into such tiny pieces, how come or what am i sposed to do then? Cuz since im already down to about less than 2 mg a day why would i want to go back up in MG yah kno? Not sayn u dont kno just trying to understand iT! And yes you got it right, I quit taking OC and smoking weed on the 1st of Jan, It was my new years resolution that was to change my life, and to change it forever in a way that i never thought i could.. I believe god is with me during this time and help guiding me through this hard process even tho i have never been big into religion! But yah your right since my dosage has kinda been all over the place for that past few weeks ( even tho its been a low MG ) guessing thats why u said to start taking the 2 mg a day ( 1 morning, 1 nite ) makes sense to me, but am eary of basically raising my dosage since like today i've only taken about .5 mg and wasnt planning on taking more! So im sure you can kinda understand! But i kno u kno what ur talkn about and will start doing that tommorow! Yes iam young, i just turned 24.. and couldnt take it ne more i really couldnt, it ruined soo many good things i had so many GFs so many good friendships/relationships! OC is the devils work and i truly truly believe that! I lost my father when i was 17 and always liked opiates, started w/ viks n percs and after H.S. turned to OC.. then lost my grandpa and think those 2 deaths had a huge factor in my addiction, and also my father was an addict him self so kinda runs int he family! and im just glad all this happened sooner than later and im taking care of it now! Cuz i've always tried quitting and said i wanted to quit but past few weeks have never ever been more serious than iam about NEVER EVER going back to drugs, not even weed every once in a while! I refuse to let it run my life, i want to run my life i want to be dependant on myself not a FUUKKKNN drug! So just kno this isnt for nothing and that after im done w/ this suboxone weaning off treatment u have suggested that my life has been saved and can start living it like i used to! even tho due to subs ive started to do that i just want to be tottally off everything and sober free!! I Met an amazing GF and the love of my life, have a good job.. good family so i have good things going and that has truly helped me to want to do better and get better and only strive for the good things in life and not take for granted what i do have! So thank you seriously sooo soo much robert, words cant explain how much i appreciate ur help and the way you help others! I look forward in working w/ you the next couple, few weeks and doing this together with your help, and you canlook back and say theres another addict who i helped in this evil evil process! Jason |

| | Jason ... ok. I will agree with you on that. To be honest I was having a little trouble following exactly what you are taking. Saw the .5mg thing, but it looked like you had still been taking other little pieces too. Now I know where you are.
Take .5mg then for the next four days. Let's see if you can have four perfect days at that dose. When four days go by I will have you do one taper, and then we will start you skipping some days and getting off. Stay in touch and sorry for the confusion. God bless.

Truly amazing, god bless u  | Most of the people here on suboxone for 2 years or were on 24mg are not stupid.They were misguided by their Dr and were only following instructions.You call them stupid, then you go to say you were snorting suboxone.  We have all done stupid things or we would not be here.Good luck to you. |

God bless.  | Hey robert its ohk, i did kind of word it confusing! But today i DID NOT SNORT IT lol and took another .05 mg, if that.. and am doing good so far this afternoon! So i have a question for you and kno ur prob going to say its stupid and not to do it.. But look i said im a member at topix.com as well and in reading threads about ppl who have taken vik 500mg after gettn off sub have helped them tremendously in the sub w/d. But i kno there situation might have been a lot different then mine, as far as how long and how much sub they were using.. Thats just not smart huh? Cuz ALMOST EVERY SINGLE thread ive read on many websites is ppl experience w/ds almost worse than opiates and i dont want that and i cant have that, just cuz of my job.. I do roofing and its physically hard and cant work if im w/d and wouldnt want too, i just hope this works to where if i do experience w/d its so minimal! and the other thing is not being able to sleep when im offf sub, cuz thats so frusterating and i need my sleep and i dont have insurance and cant go get sumthn to help that.. and other question, i had told u that for past couple years i had been doing sub inbetween my OC use, and just recently have been only on sub for 23 days.. Is that going to affect me getting off, basically does that mean ive really been on suboxone for 2+ yrs, or becuz i was doing OC just cancels that out?? thank u so much again and am doing good at this dosage and really hope this works! cuz w/d is the worst thing int he world, god bless my brutha!! |

This deal is very simple. You do EXACTLY as I say to do, doesn't matter what any goofball from another site says about taking any hydros, percs, oxy or anything else. They are stupid if that is the way they say to do this. They are going through bad w/d because they are ignorant.
Tell me exactly how you're feeling, do exactly as I tell you, and you'll get through this without w/d problems. I guarantee that. If you alter ANYTHING from what I say then I won't accept any responsibility for how this goes. Not being a hard a$$, just telling it like it is. I know how to do this the correct way. That's the only way I will do it.
Some people don't like the way I'm a little harsh at times but this is serious. I receive 20 posts a day here from people asking for my time because what I say will work actually works. I'm not on an ego trip, I'm just very busy. If you want to get off this stuff just listen to me and don't deviate ANY from what I ask you to do. I'm just trying to help you get clean the correct way. God bless.

God bless.  | OHk i gotcha.. shuldnt of said anything and im sorry i didnt mean to word it like you dont kno what ur talkn about because i know you do and kno u have helped many ppl on here!! K So i guess i have to be honest with you because if iim not it wont work, and as you kno is alot harder than it really is.. K so yesterday i did prob 1 mg instead of .05 like i said i did and today i prob did 1mg as well maybe 1.5, its just hard cuz it does give me the euphoria feeling and hard to get away from that, so ive been all over the place with the dosage im taking for 23 days and think its best to stay at the 1mg for the 4 days like you said and then we will go from there and taper yah.. is that ohk? Or what do u think is best, oh and am i sposed to do 0.5 mg in morning and the other 0.5 mg at nite right? Im sorry i dont mean to be difficult and kno u take time out of ur busy day to help me and that does mean alot, so dont think im wasting your time at all! Not like i snorted a whole 8mg yah kno, i just took 1mg more than i shuld of and went up in dosage just for a cuple days.. so like i said i kno ur advice says to get on a steady dosage for 4 days and going to do that at 1mg and will let you kno how im feeling here in a few days! Thx again bro and kno this is going to work out for the best! |

| | I feeel bad that i toook more subs when i didnt need it! ahh i hate this! Im sorry for not stickin to waht u said and only doin the 0.5, but like i said i didnt do more than 1.5 mg today and think the 1mg a day for 4 days is the best, then 0.5 after, and so on to whatever ur suggestions are! I just feel bad and am sorry, and NEED and WANT your help and dont want you to say " oh f this guy he's wasting my time" cuz like i said thats not the case at all! I wnat to get off and need your help in doing so! In reading all threads it seems you've helped so many ppl and are actually smarter and more knowledgable about suboxone than most doctors are! its crazy! Its frusterating seeing how the doctors of ppl on here prescribe so much and keep them on for so long! Im just fortunate i found this website and found you, bcuz if i hadnt i prob wuld just have stayed on subs for 1+ yrs, and glad that i've been strictly on subs for only 23 days and sounds like im exactly on the right course! and now is the time to stick EXACTLY to a certain MG and not get off that course.. So i look forward in talkn to you soon and bcuz i did more than i shuld have today, i will not be taking more later in the day! Robert i believe you are a God send and i do mean that my friend! I dont think you have any idea how important you are to the ppl on here! Well im sure you do but just lettn you kno cuz you really have saved some lives from addiction! God bless talk to u soon! -Jason |

| | Take the .5mg two times a day and don't stroke me anymore with this. I'm not a probabtion officer who is going to try to catch you on a random UA. I'm trying to help you. Don't BS me anymore. I can't and won't get wrapped up in a deal like that.
DO NOT go over the amount we have agreed on you starting at. If you are worried about feeling euphoria from the suboxone then you aren't ready to do this and you're wasting your time as well as mine. So if you can't or won't do this the right way save yourself some grief too and admit it. Just continue to use. If you really want to get clean then do as I say.
I understand addicts lie and BS everyone. I did it too. But when we decide to get clean we have to at least be honest with the person who is trying to help us. I will trust that from now on you will be honest with me. Please don't do this to me again. This is your life we are talking about. No need to discuss this anymore. Just do it right. God bless.

| | IM so sorry i really am.. I was wrong and you are right, i shuldnt of lied, even tho it was only about +.5 mg than what i was sposed to do for 2 days but still that can change your tapering process and i didnt realize it was such a set regime that needed to be followed to the exact T.. I kno this now and am not going to disregard what u say ne more and from now on am only doing what YOU say and what YOU say only! IM NOT listening to ANY other outside sources. this is the ONLY website i will be going to and u will be ONLY person i talk to untill im off of suboxone!!I dont want u to think ur wasting your time cuz your not and I want to get clean and am ready to get clean! and I swear by that for everything i love! I need your help and you kno that, and i kno that as well! I dont want you to stop helping me cuz i need help.. and kno you will if i dont lie again and stick to what you say and thats what im going to do!! Its always been so hard to admit i have a problem, and especially that i need help from some1 else besides myself cuz i always thought i could do it on my own.. and part of my sobriety has been me realizing this and talking to ppl about my past and problems which has helped me tremendously!! So Robert WE WILL DO THIS TOGETHER, and WE will get me off of SUBOXONE, I kno that and i kno I Can do it and I Will do iT! No more fuukkn excuses no more BS no more lying to myself no more lying to others no more of nothing! Im ready, im determined, and im focused! May god bless me and YOU in this process! Have a wonderful night and god bless.. LIke i said im not taking ne more MG today due to me takn more this morning, and tommorow i will take the .5 mg when i wake up then another .5 mg around dinner!! -Jason \
P.S.- In your opinion does coffee and energy drinks while im tapering down only hurt the process and only make things worse? I've heard different things about this but only want to hear what you have to say! Not like im addicted to coffee, like i havnt got ne in 3 days but during the work week i will get some! Was just wondering =) |

| | Jason We don't have to talk about it again. We both know where we stand. That is all that matters, the past is irrelevant now. I just want to help you get clean and it takes a very serious commitment on both our parts. So let's drop it and move on to bigger and better things.
If you want to drink coffee that is fine. No way that drinking coffee will compromise your suboxone taper. I am not big on the energy drinks but wouldn't say you can't drink them. I know roofing is a tough job so I would never pass judgement on what you have to do in that regard for work. If you need an energy drink go for it. God bless.

But i have SUCCESFULLY Been on 2mg for 5 days, today is day 6 and i was toook the 1mg today and was wondering what u suggested next.. Im guessing to stay on this 1mg dose for 4-5 days and then we talk from there again right?? And will be .5 mg for another 4 days? I am feeling good and havnt felt really any w/d sypmtoms on the 2mg dosage.. only thing really is the creep craWLIES on my back but that isnt anything thats is bad or unsustainable at all yah kno? I also have notices that after work i will come lay down on my bed and watch t.v. and be really really tired and somtimes have to foce to keep my eyes open and if i dont i will just pass out.. almsot reminds me of the nodding i used to get when i was so high on OC, was just wondering if its due to a lack of energy or what?! But thank u again so much for sticking with me thru this and hope this process works! Hoppe to hear from u very sooon!! |

| | Don't go to 1mg. That's too big of a drop. Just go to 1.5mg for four days. Then let me know how you're doing at that dose. After four days at 1.5mg you can then go to 1mg. Let me know what's happening. God bless.

Stay on the 1mg for five days just like musicman suggested. Stay in touch. God bless.

Dropping from 1mg down to .5mg is more than I think you should drop at once. I don't care about staying on the 1mg for a week, that is fine. But I don't recommend reducing by 50%.  You should reduce to .75mg for 5-7 days. When people reduce too fast they are more prone to w/d symptoms and relapses. Do as you choose, but I can only really help you if you adhere to the 25% reduction or as close as possible realizing you have to estimate how you are cutting the pills. If you want to be more aggressive and do a 50% reduction that is your call. It's just more than what I tell people to do. God bless.

You've only got a little more to go if you are shooting totally straight with me. I only say as you remember embellishing your results some in the beginning. I have no reason to doubt you now. Plan on 4-7 days at .5mg (whichever you are more comfortable with...) and stick to it.
After this it's about skipping days. When this time is up we will walk you through the skipping days. You'll take .5mg then skip one day, take a dose and then skip two days, take a dose and skip three days more. After all this you should be ready to jump off. Just stay in touch throughout this and we'll get you off following the ending process. God bless.
