Default Getting off of suboxone

I am on day 6 of sub withdrawl. I opted to do the 1st 5 days in a detox center so that I could be heavily sedated. Anyways I am on day 6 it still sucks. To me the worst part of sub withdralw are the body aches and severe anxiety attacks the gut renching anxiety that makes your stomach feel like it is going to pop. No sweats or vomiting or crazy stuff like that but still real tuff. Insomnia, although I have passed out here and there due to meds. dont care how long this lasts I am done with this stuff. From what I heard the acute I can't handle this withdrawl lasts from 5 days to a week and the rest is PAWS or post acute withdrawl syndrome. While Paws sucks you will not be knealed over ont he flore crying to mommy having anxiety attacks and wigging out. That is more depression, fatigue and insomnia. While that is not fun I am welcoming PAWS with open arms at this point. If oyu wnat off you can get off. It sucks but you can do it. I promise you will not die and if you need to you can take 1mg klonipin twice a day for 7 days during it to help a bit. Preferebbly under a docs supervision. oh yeah and restlessness is also one of the worst symptoms. Godd luck and rememeber you can absolutely do it I know you can because if I can do it so can you.

This is not the way to stop taking suboxone. Good luck and God bless.
