Can anyone relate to the withdrawl symptoms of subxne? Ive been sucessfully taking it for 3yrs and stopped taking it a month ago because im sick of having to take something everyday. It feels like im still addicted to a substance because I am! So its been over 30 days and I am still not feeling myself... My doctor perscribed Tramadol to help curb the withdrwl symptms. That helped but now thats gone and I am still feeling the sting! can anyone tell me when I will feel normal again?
I was reading about you being on suboxones for 3 years and are finally off them? and still feeling ukk??? oh man, i also have been on for about 3 years almost and i am so ready to get off these darn things myself, however having read your comment about not feeling well STILL? that scares me as i have a 2 year old active little girl! all i want is complete abstinence i am so sick of taking a pill everyday to feel normal i was told that it was no withdrawals if weened down properly by the medical doctor and staff but now you have me a little nervous:( do not want to use at all but how much were u on and for how long? were you weaned or just taken off? and what is the worst part of withdrawal symptoms?? HELP!!!
I tried to stop and is was real bad 6 days later so I got 3 more of which I used 2 so far. Felt I needed to sleep and feel normal but that was the wrong thing to do. I am going to throw the last one away now and Fight and Pray. We need Gods hlep not another day of drugs. My suggestion is to pray and do not stop, stopping. You must admit at the 30 day point you were feeling Better, not great. Good days will start to come, Wait for them, I am in it with you.
Wendy and Johnston I hope you read this again because i am feeling completely normal and I am so greatful! I think this stuff just stays in your system for way longer than normal opiates, kinda like methadone. I was only taking 1/4 of an 8mg sub a day but trouble with my insurance co forced me to quit early. I called my doctor and he scribed Tramadol and that helped me through the forst week which was the hardest. Honestly I tend to make things of this nature way more complicated then they are and was so scared of what i would feel like with out my subs that it probably made the symptoms worse. I just felt sweaty, chills hot and cold, weakness, aches, and some restlessness. But I have now been off of it for....well since Aug 5th 09! And I am feeling myself. no cravings either. Best of luck to anyone on subs or opiates.

If you have been taking opiates for a long period of time, such as several years as some addicts do, or as is required by people on pain managament and suddenly stop taking them, you WILL experience withdrawal effects and YES, they CAN LAST for several months, until you get through them all.
Not all of this time period is utterly miserable with the worst symptoms, they do taper off, but it will take quite awhile, before you begin to feel normal, again.
I was on pain management for over 5 years, Morphine and Oxycodone, when I stopped taking them, it took me 2 months to get over the worst of the withdrawal effects, even though I had never abused them, only used them as prescribed.
You may experience: nausea, chills, fever, headache, diarrhea and rebound pain.
There were still some symptoms, such as mental effects, that lasted another month or so, which I thought were going to drive me crazy.
