Good Bye Suboxone

[dinak]

Hi everyone I was reading the post of others who are trying to get off of suboxone, I came upon this sight and thought if I write about it like all these other people did it would be good support. I would appericate any advise from anyone who has gone through this I'm open to any suggestions that will make this journey any easier. Well here's my story: I hurt my back a few years ago and was prescribed vicdon I was on vicdon for about 2 1/2 years then I had back surgery once I had my back surgery I really didn't need the pills but when I stopped taking them I went through horrible withdraw. I went to my doctors and she referred me to the "suboxone" doctor. He put on the "wonder" drug and I have been on it for 2 years. I tried to stop taking them cold turkey and that didn't go to well. When I went to see my doctor I told him I no longer want to be on suboxone I was tried of him treating me like this big drug addict and I wanted to stop seeing him. Well I have been weaning myself off I started a few weeks ago I'm down to a little more then a quater of a pill a day. I take a very small dose when I get up and I take the rest in the afternoon. The last couple of days I can tell my dosage is the lowest I have been on I have had really bad anxiety and stomach pains. I don't care I'm tired of being on this drug. If I would have had any idea this is would have caused withdraw's I would have never taken the meds. now I'm praying for strength that I can get through this. I have some meds left and I'm doing well with the weaning but I want to start skipping my morning dose but I'm scared that I will feel sick even though I only take a very small piece in the morning. I was wondering if it would be easier if I only take one dose a day instead of breaking it into 2x's a day. I want this so bad I'm just so scared I'm going to be sick I'm a full time student, mom and wife so I don't have much room to get sick. Like I said before I really need the support from people who understand what I'm going through. Thanks

Dinak- hello and welcome! You came to the right place. You will find nothing but support here. I am currently following Roberts taper plan after being heavily addicted to vicodin. If you'd like to read my story its all on my thread "anyone just starting suboxone..." anywho I haven't been on the suboxone for long, I am on day 9 ot my treatment and I now take 2mg in the morning and 2mg at night. I haven't had any withdrawals. Basically once you feel stable at whatever dose you're on, you decrease by 25%, wait a few days, and decrease again and so on. Robert is brilliant so you should take whatever advice he has. He has helped so many people get clean. I can't wait to be one of them! I know you said you are taking a quarter of a pill right now. What strength pills do you have? 8mg or 2mg? I've heard its harder to get off suboxone the longer you've been on them, but I have faith that you will get off of them and be clean! You can do it! Just post often and talk to us always! Keep in touch! -NLL

Thanks Robert and No longer lost I'm on 8 mg and so ready to get off. I was just thinking my doctor never once told me that I will go through w/d I'm so scared. I have been on this med way to long and I just want off so bad. I lost my job back in Jan. so I have been paying for my scrpit and the docs appts. I just went back to college and I don't want to get to sick. I did notice since lower my dose last I have really bad aniexty I can handle that I just get scared of the horriable flu. I'm so glad I found this site and Robert I'm going to check out your info out. Thank you so much.
