Used suboxone for 16 years. Crushing and snorting everyday for the entire ride with no other drug use at all. I just bought them off the street and snorted them. I tapered down myself to about 1.5mg a day before jumping off for the withdrawal ride on 25 February 2024. 56 days in and I will never go back. The first 10 days were tough - restless legs, insomnia, cold sweats, irritation, anxiety…all the good stuff. It wasn’t nice but it starts getting better bit by bit as you get to the end of week 2. I lost count of the hot baths I took just to try and get relief from the Rls, forcing myself to eat something and avoiding caffeine which exacerbated my RLS. Moving into week 3 I started getting a decent 5 or 6 hours a night and I feel much better…managing work the entire time. I’m at the stage where I’ve stopped counting the days and I know I don’t want to do the withdrawal again so it’s all gravy. If I can do it after 16 years to snorting then so can anyone…keep at it and grind away. Good luck! You deserve to be free and I am rooting for each and every single one of you.
Thank you so much for sharing! Your story is a valuable inspiration for so many that feel they may never win. Congratulations on your victory!! Your strength is amazing!
I needed this I’m on day 5 after 16 years and I feel like 💩 I have 3 young daughters and want to get off for them. And myself but this 💩 is super stressful and hard. I love your story 💪🏼🙏🏼 god blessed you. Have a great day keep up your fight ❤
I did crack heroin for 20 years, decides to stop one day . I just stopped cold turkey. Didn't get withdrawal n im not sure why since I was smoking h on foil every single day n crsck too. Did like 5 bags daily n so much crack.its been 2 months since I stopped. Pray for me I don't go back. Also I have a massive appetite like I put on 20lbs since I stopped
Hey I just wanna tell you that you are the definition of motivation. Looking at the videos of you back then withdrawing , till now . Your a complete different person, like it’s crazy. Hey God bless you sir. Subscribed 🙃
The difference between living and dying is amazing!!! Glad I could help! You won’t regret winning the fight. That is guaranteed! Ty for commenting. And never stop trying to break the chains:)
I came off of 2mg a day about 15 years ago. Took about a month for the entire process to complete. I'm grateful I was on such a comparatively small dose at the time. The worse of it felt like I was carrying a midget on my back who was constantly trying to strangle me. Since then I was on Methadone for about 8 years with a successful taper ultimately from 110mgs in July of 2020. Fast forward to October of 2023 I had Double Bypass Heart Surgery which ultimately led me to going back on Suboxone in November. Now I'm on 16mgs of Suboxone currently. Looking forward to going on a weekly shot to help ease the process of tapering.
I’ve just recently switched to sublocade from Subs. I started at 3-8mgs a day for the last 9years an 9months. Look around and see if you can find the sublocade shot near you. I’m excited because my understanding is there is no to very very little withdrawal! I’m almost through the first month of my 300mg dose in about 8days I get the next 300mg dose and then maybe 1-100mg after that and hope to be done!!!
Wow. It sounds like hell. I have Quadraplegia, you might have to look that up but anyway I’m 65 been on subutex for years for severe burning of lower extremities severe spasms just overall pain. Was on 16 mg in April now down to 6mg a day. But the anxiety has already begun so I think I’m in for a long withdrawal period 😢. Hope I can continue because I’m a coward!!!!
I am sure you are no coward. And yes I am well read despite my poor grammar. lol Thank you for taking the time to comment here. It means a lot to me as I truly appreciate your support! If you are able to continue a reasonably patient taper it should be a lot less dramatic than my 8mg jump off stories. Those who taper slowly say they have little to no symptoms. Distraction is key to ease the physical and mental symptoms. I think you will find peace once you get through the first hump. Everything gets better. It was the best decision I've made in a very long time. My anxiety is much much lower knowing I am free from the bondage of addiction. Also side note.... Keep an eye on those teeth because suboxone ruined mine. I already paid to fix them but people are suing over it.
Update for you. Just can’t taper any lower than 6mg. The physical and psychological effects from my disability are just too overwhelming and 6mg seems too be my comfort zone. I could write you a book on physical and mental anguish I go through every day, hour and minute. I will not give up I will keep trying to taper and take one day at a time.
@@user-ep6nj7tn3p Hello! Welcome back and ty for the update! My advice…. Be patient take your time and never give up. I tried to taper from 16mg and failed to go all the way. I was on 8mg for two years following that. After that I eventually made it to 4mg after trying to go to zero multiple times. I stayed at 4mg for a couple more years after before jumping off. It takes time. Settle in at your lower dose for a while before trying to go further. I imagine that in your case things will move slower because the medicine has to be burned off by the body so I am sure without doing physical labor that it may take more time.l and patience.
@@animevideos956 Eggs and cheese and oatmeal for me during that time! Pb n j is an another helpful one. Bland, easy to make, quickly, and helps keep the system solid.
Get a load of this. I just had a hip replacement surgery. I went off subs for 72 hours prior, using 7.5 mg. Oxycodone every 6 hours to get by. Did fine. Had surgery. Was given 15 mg. Oxycodone every 3 hours for pain, did okay, went home with script for 15 mg every 4 hours. By the time it was 7 days without subs, I was literally in borderline withdrawal even while taking that much Oxycodone. 90 mg a day. I was chilly. I finally started taking my Suboxone again. I was completely immune to the Oxycodone.
Crazy. Ty for sharing! There are people that try saying go back on oxy or perks for a month to get off subs because the withdrawals are easier. I have always believed that is a terrible idea. This kind of proves that it’s not a good idea. Suboxone is actually stronger than most opiates. We have been fed lies about it. It was easier for me to withdrawal from 100mg daily Percocet habit than withdrawal from 16mg Suboxone. The perk withdrawal was more painful but way shorter..(like 5 days). The sub withdrawal is more mild but it drags out so long that it is impossible for me to deal with it without a major life disruption.
@TruthLivesHere it really opened my eyes. 5 years ago, I had a hip replacement. But at that time, I was only on 8 mg sub a day. I thought that after going almost 4 weeks without them, being on oxycodone, I could've gotten off if I had tried. Maybe at that dose, going to oxycodone to get off made sense, but not this time. I was taking the oxycodone every 4 hours, even more, and still, I stayed in low-grade withdrawal. Luckily, that started after I got out of the hospital. I always believed that being off the pills, etc, my tolerance would go down. Nope. As long as you have subs, you're fine. Just never run out.
Just watched a science based video on suboxone,an they say 3 mg fills 70 percent of the opioid receptors,so that ells u what double that does ,they say getting off 1.5 mg is where it gets hard ,interesting,,,I’m not a user never have been ,I am non drug nor alcohol,but my brother in law is on suboxone an can not get off ,it’s killing him an my sister so I decided to research to try an understand it ,,sad 🙏
@@laurahenry3562 It is truly is a nightmare. I thinks it is incredible that you love and care enough for them to help him find his way. If It were not for someone caring for me enough to help me… I don’t think I would have made it through my final withdrawal.
Well, I'm hoping if I taper down.I will have no withdrawal effects at all from what I've read online. And I mean taper all the way down two point five milligrams
Heck ya! You got this! The slower the taper the better also. The first time I tried to quit I only went from 16 to 8. Then the second time I tried a year later I went to 2. I was between 2n3 when I went the rest of the way. I was forced to jump from there. If you can taper lower it’s definitely the way. Years ago there were days I would cut them with an exacto knife and leave them to dry on a plate before eating them. I could make one last all week. The taper tricks your mind into thinking it got a fix for the day.
I need to get off sub. They make me so sick. I don’t know how to do it. I can’t even go one day for some reason. I looked into the vitamin c method but I can’t tell if it’s fake.
I did try the high dose of vitamin c . I believe it can help because of what I read but when I tried it, I ate two cans of pineapple also that week and my system went highly acidic and it was a not fun. I’m actually scared of pineapple now.😂. But vitamin c can help. I did continue them for a while during both my major withdrawals. Vitamin B can help too. Subs never actually made me feel good. If they are making you sick definitely lower the dose slowly. They will make you puke if your body can’t metabolize the dose quickly enough. The less physical activity you do … the less the dose that is needed. Generally. And the American dose is ten times the uk 🇬🇧 dose. So lower doses are better. And definitely try to taper off the amount per dose. Skipping days can be hard. Skipping dose is good once you can’t cut the dose amount any smaller. The daily dose cycle can be hard to break if you can’t set up a time to withdrawal. There will come a time when you have truly have had enough of them and are ready to feel sick without them instead of with them. Keep trying to fight it. It literally took me years and multiple tries to get it. As I mention in my other vids and comments diet is huge. I was brought up poor with poor eating habits and it really affected how my body handled withdrawal. Eating healthy needs to be the habit that replaces the sub habit.
A lot actually. Can you miss work? Can you afford professional help? Do you do labor or sit at a desk? Were you raised to eat healthy by healthy people? Will someone lift you up if you can’t get up? Or do you have to fight this alone? Is everyone counting on you? Or can you take all the time you need for yourself to heal?
@@TruthLivesHere Those factors reflect more about how you will deal with your withdrawal, and the impact it will have your life. However, all the money in the world won’t make drugs leave your system any sooner..
@@TruthLivesHere yes, but none of that changes how fast it takes your body to process your withdrawal. (But they do help to negate the impact it will have on your life).
@@markmansfieldsbwc4674 the amount of exercise and nutrition does change how well you metabolize things. Also mental game can change the perception of severity. And yes diet will change the amount of time as well. Are you rich and triggered or poor and in denial of your disadvantages? Or are you young and think you know everything? How many times have you gone through withdrawal? I’ve done it 5 times both with money and without. Having money helps.
Yes, it ruins teeth too. People are suing over that. It took my gut the whole year to get better. Diet and exercise is key to get the gut back in shape. The insurance company limits how long you can have it covered because it’s known to attack cartilage. I think the nerve damage was amplified for me because I have blood sugar and circulation issues. I’m doing much better with those things now at one year and five months. My cartridge feels great and my gut is regular and the nerve pain in my feet has ended!!! Never got spasms but always got cramps.
@@5.0_meatballmarinaraThe crumb is probably the correct dose. The American dose is more than ten times the UK standard dose for some reason. I would always try to spread the doses apart further when I wasn’t ready to lower the dose. Making the daily dose time change by spreading helps break the cycle and lowers the over all amount in the system while still feeling the same when dosed.
Funny enough quitting weed is kinda the same but way more mild of course. I’m having a harder time dealing with myself on day 50 than day 30. So weird.
