I know this video is old now, and I think I’ve commented before, I just wanted to say your videos help me so much man. Im tapering after 6 years and can’t wait to be off. Im still on 6mg a day, but I can’t wait to get to the super low doses so I can feel like the transition into true sobriety is right around the corner instead of seemingly miles and miles away. Im hoping I can get off within this next year for sure. What you’re doing here on UA-cam is phenomenal, and I know everyone else here loves you too. Thank you and bless you.
I just want to say your videos have really kept me laughing thru my suboxone detox..I hated that shit..I was on it 10 months..I'm 43 and have done everything under the sun..I'm burnt on being high..I'm really trying to line up with the will of my father..I suck at tapers because I hate a tease..I feel this way secrew me or leave..I jumped 16mg a day..I'm 11 days out I threw half a month supply out..I'm just like whatever..but yeah anyway thanks for the videos man..the Lord will bless you.
Suboxone had a real similar effect for me. Suboxone for me was making me lazier, more complacent, and less happy. It's a miracle drug and does save lives, but it needs to be used right. I don't believe in putting people on it for years(sometimes forever) on maintenance.
The more I read your comments the more I realize how incredibly similar we are and our experience. U thought I was normal ti for so long. I wouldn’t see my family much either
@@gabemccall3523 Gabe straight up we definitely have had similar experiences! Watching you tell your story made me feel like I’m not alone. Dude I was an angry hermit on that shit. Now I’m in the gym 6 days a week and actually enjoy being social again. Thanks for always keeping it real, it’s rare these days in the age of fake ness !
Gabe man your videos help brother. I know we’ve talked before and I didn’t think I would fall once again but here I am. Praise Christ Jesus man for His forgiveness but dude I want to get better, actually better.
Amen to that! His mercies are new every morning. He runs out to meet us as the prodigal son (us) comes back from turning his back in his father and living selfishly.
@@gabemccall3523 Hey man I have to ask. I’m planning on a semi quick taper. Could I take Kratom during the morning and later that evening take 1mg sub ? That would help me cut the dosage down but I’m not sure if you can do that or not
Like you i just got to the point where i hated the stuff, on day 16 today. Main wds are slowly getting better still not 100% though. Actually thought about documenting my journey at the beginning but then found your page haha. You did a good thing man. Alot of ppl out there are wanting the same as we did and i feel your videos have helped tremendously with that.
I was on it for 5 yrs .....I hit my 1 yr off subs in November.....my friends and family said I sounded like a robot.....It was the worst detox but the best thing I have ever done in my life! I'm so glad that chapter is over! Now it's re learning how to deal with my feelings that's hard.....
Hey how long did it take until you felt fully normal? I’m 7 months off suboxne I still feel uncontrollable anxiety & depression I feel like it will never let up .
I’ve been on subs a year now and it’s like where did that year go. I go to work and that’s it. Get home do what I’d have to at home and just sit around. Never go do anything. It’s the worst. I’m down to 2 MG and getting off soon. Don’t get me wrong it serves a purpose and saves lives and got me into a better place. I’m looking forward to getting off it.
Wow. This was an eye opener. I'm just going through the motions. I don't do shit. I don't. I work some days and then I just lay around. I workout and am in good shape(muscular wise, crap cardio) but honestly other than that Idk. I'm probably really not but think I am lol. Constipation is horrible. I am right now. I'm bloated and exhausted from it. I was going and then lately my dose feels so strong out of nowhere and feel sick from it. Zero sex drive. Zero. I'm married. It's so uncomfortable. Like it's a huge deal. When we met it was a couple time a week thing. I was the weirdo and would roll over and be begging like a dog. Now I roll my freaking eyes. That is a problem. I have dropped from 16mg to 8 since the winter and it's still a lot. Ugh life is tough man. Married, have a kid and 3 dogs. I let the stress ruin me. I want to be having sex, be off this and have another child too. My heart tells me I have to. I'm better than this. I owe it to myself and to my family. My daughter will say oh sorry dad I won't talk I see you have your medicine in and inside it hurts yet I'm also just like numb to the emotions. It's like I don't feel but I do deep down. I want to be sad or to cry again. I don't even cry unless it's something like a loved one dying. I haven't sneezed in years too. Long comment but man this video is something I need to watch over and over and over. I need it to truly click for me.
You're the only UA-camr I've watched who makes me laugh without even trying - just being yourself. I'm sure you've been told that, you're hilarious. Anyway, I relate with so much of what you said here. It made me a zombie. I think it's because opiates release dopamine that you haven't earned. Dopamine is a chemical that's released when you earn it - like accomplishing a task, but if you get it without accomplishing anything, then you have no drive to do anything. I recently got off it again (day 10 today), but I've been using kratom to manage the withdrawals, and then I'll get off that. I was on it way too long (a decade) because it was just so hard to get off. Usually I end up replacing the sub with the kratom and then I just need to get off that. But my plan is to actually create a tapering schedule and stick to it to get off the kratom.
@@gabemccall3523 I honestly thought I was the only person experiencing your same problem’s! I jumped off at 4mg on day 9 but taking it day by day . I have never had problems with the wife until subs it’s like I was num! Really no sex drive went to my family doc and asked for a testosterone check I’m 38 I was at 80 on my level! So I had to start getting injections every two week’s back up to the 800’s now hopefully my natural comes back! But other stuff was I had no motivation didn’t care to do anything with my wife and kids I just wanted to sit at home basically if I wasn’t working! No feelings really it’s sad! Oh and ended up getting colon impaction and almost had to have surgery! I’m so happy to be off this crap! Love all your videos they really helped me🤙
Bruh me too. I have a pretty good sex drive but I don't feel like putting in the work to meet a girl lmao. The shit makes me so lazy and not want to be around people.
I was on it for 11 years, been off it for 24 days now. I feel fine except for the fact that I feel like a short circuited robot that just landed on planet earth.
@@chadodickson9333 I didn't go to the dentist for like 7 years because I was scared. But I lived a healthy lifestyle and took care of them so just a few cavities. Went a few months after I stopped.
It sounds like you and me think of Suboxone the same, we actually enjoyed taking it and feeling it kick in. I feel my Suboxone almost every day, granted now that I'm under a half of a milligram I barely feel anything but I still do tell that I take it. The only thing I feel now is a tad less jonesy. I start to feel a tad jonesy 24 hours after I take my dose but then I take my next dose and it goes away. Taking like .3 or .4 mg once every 24 hours
Coming back to this video so I can remember why I quit. Coming off the first time sucked, but once I got to the other side, it was so worth it. I changed for the better.
Gabe I've been on suboxone for like 2 ½months and i pretty much slowed down from 26 mgs and took 3 days off in between then micro dosed my way out. I'm still tapering but only when i feel sickish do i take any. That principle works with every drug too thats physically dependent
Ya know.... I've often wondered if my lack of energy and lack of desire to do literally anyyyything is because of my suboxone. I'm about to have a sleep study done because I'm falling asleep doing daily activities. It's not normal. And my teeth are actually crumbling out of my mouth. Before opioids I had never had a cavity.
I've been on subs 8 yrs & had to have my top teeth taken out 3 months ago & have to go back to to my bottoms. This med ruins enamel cuz you hold it in your mouth. Its terrible. But when I was on 24mg of Subs, I'd fall asleep like a heroin addict even doing dishes. It was insane. Once I lowered my dose, I stopped doing it. I had burn holes from cigarettes all over my room from falling asleep like that. Luckily I never caught my house on fire..
Hey Gabe this is Joe and this is my new YT account just want to say thanks so much for the vid and always being here I appreciate u brother much love ❤️
They put me on Subutex for chronic pain but it doesn’t even help the pain. I haven’t ever felt excited about taking it. I don’t even take any of it all day long. The only time I take any is a little bit before I go to sleep. It seems to kill my motivation for life. I’ve been like this almost from the start. I think it’s time for me to quit. Thank you so much Gabe!!!
I was talking to a lady last night and she’s prescribed Suboxone for pain and it’s not helping her and she doesn’t wanna be in it... it sucks! U truly believe in you Cindy. Keep chipping away. Love you! My mom from Carolina lol
On day 30.. feeing great aside from insomnia.. question, when you wake up in the morning is it normal to feel EXTREMELY tired, nose runny & intensely uncomfortable? After around a half hour of being awake I feel fine for the most part. Just wondering if this is normal, thank you & your videos are a huge inspiration & big help to what I’m doing with this ✊🏼 your videos are getting me through 💯
I know it’s been a minute now, but I don’t think you’re in full on withdrawal like the other commenter said, from my perspective, it sounds like your body is still adjusting with post acute symptoms. It takes a while for all the tiny bits of sub to fall off the receptors, so it could just be residual symptoms lingering. Do you remember how it felt waking up in the morning after not a lot of sleep as a clean person before drugs? You’re kinda groggy and out of it, low energy, but after a while you’re ready to go - it sounds like you’re getting back to that place, but your brain isn’t hasn’t adapted just yet. I haven’t even jumped off yet, I’ve got a ways to go, I just saw your comment and wanted to say don’t give up and you’re doing fantastic to be off at all, it’s such an incredibly difficult drug to get off of, and to be off, to me, is a miracle of and testament to the human spirit.
I lost alot of friends because of canceling plans and wanting to do nothing but sleep.....I have had my tonsils out and a un explained rash on my face since getting off.....but it is still worth getting off! It should only be used super short term in my opinion.
I'm 28 years old and i just had 6 cavities filled, I need 5 root canals... I need to get 4 teeth pulled... I been on subs since 2016!!! It DOES mess your teeth up... And my dentist also told me allher patients that are on Suboxone react terribly to the numbing needles like it's SO painful
I have been on it since 2017 and have lost 4 teeth and currently have 3 more that are about ready to fall out anyday..So God damn painful and embarrassing. I'm terrified to go to the dentist because of the way he treated me last time when one of my teeth needed pulling. Like a God damn junkie lol. So I haven't been back to a dentist in 5 years now and I'm letting the subs eat away my teeth. Terrible. I still love suboxone though I'm not mad at it.
@@derrickpeterson3651 Yeah I know exactly what you mean about the teeth thing. I swear it really does rot your teeth. I brush 3 times a day and my teeth are still falling out. I just got 2 pulled a couple months ago and that shit hurt even with the novocaine so now I'm scared to go back and get the rest pulled which is like 6 more lmao. But I am mad at Suboxone. I fucking hate it and how it makes me feel so I've weaned myself down to 2mg from 16mg in the past month. I just don't want to be on it anymore. I don't care that I don't feel that great from tapering so fast it's gonna be worth it.
I've been on it for 8 years now. I stay in my room constant & skipped my family reunion 2 yrs in a row the last 2 years. I have no drive to want to do shit or see anyone. I'm tapering again to get off this shit. It use to give me energy in the beginning but now it dont do shit. I was on 24mg now im at 16mg but I know if I have to do shit that day I have to take my 1 pill plus more after that first one dissolves. Then take more throughout the day. The sex drive is damn near null n void & my husband struggles to understand that its not ME personally its the damn meds.. I'm over this shit.
Oh yeah, I had to my top teeth taken out 3 months ago n now I have to do my bottoms! Ruins your teeth is an understatement! On days I do cook, I will make dinner & fix my husband a plate but not eat till like 3am & barely eat. My dogs love it 🤣 then I'll leave my kitchen like a twister till i get the energy the next day to clean it.. I'm a fuckin mess over here
dude omg i get up at 6am daily to take the Zubsolv. i hatw he sweating. it sucks. but dope bags and used rigs are not a comparisson. I agree with the inability to spend long amounts of time with people. When you sit too long you will fall asleep. The sex isnt bad I get up every day tbh but im only 25 so lol. I hear yu though. If its less than 6hours after I take it. then yeah we got a limp bizkit.
I am prescribed 16 mgs a day and it sucks, it doesnt do anything for my anymore, i can totally relate to the lack of motivation. Im also hooked on benzos and literally dont know what to do. I literally may end up in another shithole detox even though im only using prescribed meds….
I was also hooked on Benzos with my suboxone. Im over 3 years off suboxone and over a year off Benzos. I used opiates and opioids for 12 years and Benzos for 9. It can be done. It’s a long road though. I’m still not feeling 100% from the Benzo.
@@posadamaestre5110 Hey thats awesome. Keep on fighting! I ordered a load of Kratom yesterday, now im waiting for the mailman. I will wailt 2-3days until the buprenorphine withdrawal symptoms show up and then drink my first Kratom tea. I hope it will help
Lol facts it gets old man and you don’t feel like a normal person let’s all be honest, there’s some weird ass shield that surrounds you from feeling all types of shit, I just wanna go back to the old days, day 26 or 27 with nothing. still zombied out but feeling my brain functionality slowly getting better
@@iamanidiotbut5523 that’s not the kind of shield I’m talking about, not getting high and forgetting about you’re problems, I’m talking it makes you think different and view things different. Like life is just passing you by I’ve seen a sht load of people say the same exact thing, the feeling is CLEAR as day for me
@@kingk5827 I know what you mean. I called it a film around me or it's really just being off or numb enough to not truly notice everything around you. Or anything happening to you. You can almost feel it physically too. I swear I can. It's like getting messed up a night and you still feel foggy the next day.
Yeah man, for some reason suboxone and kratom made me the most reclusive out of literally any opioids including heroin which Is weird because bupenorphine and kratom are only partial agonists...which I guess could be the reason, because you're never really high but you still have the apathetic zombie feeling at play..I didn't wanna hang out with any friends while I was taking bupe, I craved junk food and alcohol all the time and I basically was 100% complacent just going from work to home where I'd veg out and watch TV..rinse and repeat, totally killed my sex drive, my social life and my emotions overtime. Though it definitely had its pros too
@@paradiddle5150 I flushed that 7 months after I had stopped taking it. So to really answer your question… I just had in my room somewhere and never really paid attention to it. But it was definitely around
It is so rough honestly but your videos help a ton also I just found this stuff called theraworx and it’s great for the rls I know it’s worth it that’s what I keep telling myself
@@gabemccall3523 I’ve been on this garbage for 7 years and jumped off at 12 mg just didn’t want to wait any longer I watched your videos for a year before I finally did it. I just felt like God didn’t want this for me anymore my mind felt so flat and dull I was becoming a shell of who I am.
Hey Charlie! I deleted my FB account so I haven’t been able talk to u. My page will officially disappear in a week or 2. If u got a phone # react me so I know I got yours. I e been hitting other people up and asking them if they you were all right. Love ya man
@@gabemccall3523 thx I’ll check it out...I’m going thru it too.. 7 months off methadone and now down to one mg a day of klonopin .. dr had to put me on elavil, which has helped a lot w the anxiety.. she’s dropping me .25 mg a month with the klonopin
Works great for me. No problems with my sex drive at all. Also makes me want to do produtive things. This has to be the most inaccurate description of Suboxone ive ever seen.😂😂
That’s weird cause I talk to hundreds of people who agree with me. Usually people say what you’re saying when they haven’t been on it very long. Its a horrible thing being a slave to a medication like this and as your dependent on it year in and year out I’m sure your attitude towards it will change. Having a sex drive while on opioids is a pretty rare thing dude. How long you been on em?
About to try that soon! I was close to being done with Suboxone and gave in again. Been back on now for around 3 1/2 months. I bought some good Kratom so hopefully this helps me stop subs
I can’t, I really really want and NEED to follow this channel, but between the fast ADHA talking, bouncing to topics, and this guy talking like he’s slammed adderal or coke, or both. Holy shit. I want to follow and listen but I my brain doesn’t work this fast. Yikes.
If you can hold on, it's worth iit.Gabe speaks so much truth about addiction and gives so much insight. Yes his ADHD can overwhelm some, but that's part of the reason he did what he did. I know this because I have it too, and went down the same road. Just enjoy the energy and try to find it humorous. I do, Gabe cracks me up!
Lol! I totally understand. It is annoying to me a lot the times. I try to cram as much information as I can I a short amount of time but in doing that I get off topic a lot. Please stick around though. I can tell that I tell the truth and call a spade a spade. God bless and take care.
Russ Fultz heres the weird thing I actually like this guy, like I truly do. Maybe it’s just my brain rewiring or readjusting to being sober I don’t know but some days I just can’t watch him and I want to, I need to. I’m trying to give him a try I keep logging on because I know even in our support groups they talk about his channel all the time both in Phoenix and Pittsburgh so I’m tryin buddy, I promise I am.
Gabe McCall totally not you buddy, It’s me I don’t know why my patience is just on edge I never used to be like that but anymore I’m just really really impatient with people I apologize. It’s not you it’s me as shitty as that sounds it really is the truth. Keep doing what you’re doing I know so many people are benefiting from it
@@meghanservidio1726 I understand, truly. I have ADHD and I know how people reacted to me. Sometimes we are just to much. High intensity. There are times we can't stand it either. All I can say is keep trying to watch. It will be worth the effort. You will never find another person more relatable, honest, and insightful about having an addiction as Gabe. (I'm pretty close tho, if you ever need support.)
Suboxone, methadone, kratom, heroin, vicodin, oxy all made me depressed as shit overtime, at the beginning its the opposite but once you've been on opioids for awhile you definitely start feeling depressed as shit, for me it was both while on them and withdrawaling..opioids including mantience opioids made me complacent with sitting around and doing nothing, it was either work or sitting at home on the couch watching pointless shitt and frequently canceling out of plans. There's a point where you say I'm not even me anymore fuck this. No sex drive and zombified all the way.
The worst is when you have a dr and they try to keep you on it, and make it difficult to get off of it.

Hey Gabe this is Joe and this is my new YT account just want to say thanks so much for the vid and always being here I appreciate u brother much love ❤️
They put me on Subutex for chronic pain but it doesn’t even help the pain. I haven’t ever felt excited about taking it. I don’t even take any of it all day long. The only time I take any is a little bit before I go to sleep. It seems to kill my motivation for life. I’ve been like this almost from the start. I think it’s time for me to quit. Thank you so much Gabe!!!
It does suck the motivation and makes life bland! I was on it for 8 years and I just didn’t want to do anything
I was talking to a lady last night and she’s prescribed Suboxone for pain and it’s not helping her and she doesn’t wanna be in it... it sucks! U truly believe in you Cindy. Keep chipping away. Love you! My mom from Carolina lol
@@gabemccall3523 Always!!!♥️
On day 30.. feeing great aside from insomnia.. question, when you wake up in the morning is it normal to feel EXTREMELY tired, nose runny & intensely uncomfortable? After around a half hour of being awake I feel fine for the most part. Just wondering if this is normal, thank you & your videos are a huge inspiration & big help to what I’m doing with this ✊🏼 your videos are getting me through 💯
Sounds like you're in withdrawal.
I know it’s been a minute now, but I don’t think you’re in full on withdrawal like the other commenter said, from my perspective, it sounds like your body is still adjusting with post acute symptoms. It takes a while for all the tiny bits of sub to fall off the receptors, so it could just be residual symptoms lingering.
Do you remember how it felt waking up in the morning after not a lot of sleep as a clean person before drugs? You’re kinda groggy and out of it, low energy, but after a while you’re ready to go - it sounds like you’re getting back to that place, but your brain isn’t hasn’t adapted just yet.
I haven’t even jumped off yet, I’ve got a ways to go, I just saw your comment and wanted to say don’t give up and you’re doing fantastic to be off at all, it’s such an incredibly difficult drug to get off of, and to be off, to me, is a miracle of and testament to the human spirit.
It’s normal
I forget how long I been off all. Lol it’s closing in on like 8-9 months. A lotta your saying is true.
I lost alot of friends because of canceling plans and wanting to do nothing but sleep.....I have had my tonsils out and a un explained rash on my face since getting off.....but it is still worth getting off! It should only be used super short term in my opinion.
Wait what kind of rash??
😊 thanks
I know what you mean.. methadone made me numb to everything.. slowed my blood flow alot
Suboxone has Dulled my creativity so much
I'm 28 years old and i just had 6 cavities filled, I need 5 root canals... I need to get 4 teeth pulled... I been on subs since 2016!!! It DOES mess your teeth up... And my dentist also told me allher patients that are on Suboxone react terribly to the numbing needles like it's SO painful
I have been on it since 2017 and have lost 4 teeth and currently have 3 more that are about ready to fall out anyday..So God damn painful and embarrassing. I'm terrified to go to the dentist because of the way he treated me last time when one of my teeth needed pulling. Like a God damn junkie lol. So I haven't been back to a dentist in 5 years now and I'm letting the subs eat away my teeth. Terrible. I still love suboxone though I'm not mad at it.
@@derrickpeterson3651 Yeah I know exactly what you mean about the teeth thing. I swear it really does rot your teeth. I brush 3 times a day and my teeth are still falling out. I just got 2 pulled a couple months ago and that shit hurt even with the novocaine so now I'm scared to go back and get the rest pulled which is like 6 more lmao. But I am mad at Suboxone. I fucking hate it and how it makes me feel so I've weaned myself down to 2mg from 16mg in the past month. I just don't want to be on it anymore. I don't care that I don't feel that great from tapering so fast it's gonna be worth it.
@@Dmacxxx77you guys need to join the lawsuit! It might be too late, but it's a thing
Everything is So true. I was on Kratom extracts though
So very true with Kratom as well. I hates being in it
I've been on it for 8 years now. I stay in my room constant & skipped my family reunion 2 yrs in a row the last 2 years. I have no drive to want to do shit or see anyone. I'm tapering again to get off this shit. It use to give me energy in the beginning but now it dont do shit. I was on 24mg now im at 16mg but I know if I have to do shit that day I have to take my 1 pill plus more after that first one dissolves. Then take more throughout the day. The sex drive is damn near null n void & my husband struggles to understand that its not ME personally its the damn meds.. I'm over this shit.
Oh yeah, I had to my top teeth taken out 3 months ago n now I have to do my bottoms! Ruins your teeth is an understatement! On days I do cook, I will make dinner & fix my husband a plate but not eat till like 3am & barely eat. My dogs love it 🤣 then I'll leave my kitchen like a twister till i get the energy the next day to clean it.. I'm a fuckin mess over here
bro... lol so true!
7:Days off it, I despise it so much , would rather die than go back.
dude omg i get up at 6am daily to take the Zubsolv. i hatw he sweating. it sucks. but dope bags and used rigs are not a comparisson. I agree with the inability to spend long amounts of time with people. When you sit too long you will fall asleep.
The sex isnt bad I get up every day tbh but im only 25 so lol. I hear yu though. If its less than 6hours after I take it. then yeah we got a limp bizkit.
Same with me and I’m on 0.6 I feel like robot always feel like nothing
I am prescribed 16 mgs a day and it sucks, it doesnt do anything for my anymore, i can totally relate to the lack of motivation. Im also hooked on benzos and literally dont know what to do. I literally may end up in another shithole detox even though im only using prescribed meds….
I was also hooked on Benzos with my suboxone. Im over 3 years off suboxone and over a year off Benzos. I used opiates and opioids for 12 years and Benzos for 9. It can be done. It’s a long road though. I’m still not feeling 100% from the Benzo.
I’m taking suboxone I only take half a 8mg strip per day I’ve almost been on it for 2 years I’m kinda nervous about tapering anyone have any tips?
Would you take kratom with the over the counter stuff and lonidine and trazadone?
First!!! 🏆 😂🤣😂
Oh yeah!
Jumping off next week but I’m excited to get off. I lost a lot and I need to get myself back.
Good luck! I will follow.
@@pimmelpaule5606 thank you! Day 3
@@posadamaestre5110 Hey thats awesome. Keep on fighting! I ordered a load of Kratom yesterday, now im waiting for the mailman. I will wailt 2-3days until the buprenorphine withdrawal symptoms show up and then drink my first Kratom tea. I hope it will help
Lol facts it gets old man and you don’t feel like a normal person let’s all be honest, there’s some weird ass shield that surrounds you from feeling all types of shit, I just wanna go back to the old days, day 26 or 27 with nothing. still zombied out but feeling my brain functionality slowly getting better
That’s a good way of putting it. It’s truly a shield over our minds
I’m confused... isn’t that shield the whole reason you ever got addicted to opioids? That shield is precisely why I take opioids lmfao
If I was normal to begin I wouldn’t have ever taken them
@@iamanidiotbut5523 that’s not the kind of shield I’m talking about, not getting high and forgetting about you’re problems, I’m talking it makes you think different and view things different. Like life is just passing you by I’ve seen a sht load of people say the same exact thing, the feeling is CLEAR as day for me
@@kingk5827 I know what you mean. I called it a film around me or it's really just being off or numb enough to not truly notice everything around you. Or anything happening to you. You can almost feel it physically too. I swear I can. It's like getting messed up a night and you still feel foggy the next day.
Sooooooo true all this I do the same thing!
Yeah man, for some reason suboxone and kratom made me the most reclusive out of literally any opioids including heroin which Is weird because bupenorphine and kratom are only partial agonists...which I guess could be the reason, because you're never really high but you still have the apathetic zombie feeling at play..I didn't wanna hang out with any friends while I was taking bupe, I craved junk food and alcohol all the time and I basically was 100% complacent just going from work to home where I'd veg out and watch TV..rinse and repeat, totally killed my sex drive, my social life and my emotions overtime. Though it definitely had its pros too
Down to 1 mil. Trying to get. 25 and jump.
Gabe, what did you do with the suboxone you had left when you made the jump?
I have a video showing exactly what I did. It’s called “flushing my suboxone script”
@@gabemccall3523 Out of all of the hundreds of videos I've watched that you've made, I missed that one. 😂 Thanks from a long time subscriber
@@paradiddle5150 I flushed that 7 months after I had stopped taking it. So to really answer your question… I just had in my room somewhere and never really paid attention to it. But it was definitely around
@@paradiddle5150 appreciate your comment too btw.
@@gabemccall3523 Thanks Gabe 🤝
Gabapentin and Suboxone
Same stuff for me too. And I was sooo irritated all the time. It’s a terrible quality of life!
How r you doing? Still plugging away? Please let me know either way. I really care about you! Hoping the best
@@gabemccall3523 hey Gabe! I’m so glad you asked. Yep. Still plugging away. Just woke up from some gnarly dreams, but I’m surviving.
@@gabemccall3523 it really made my day that you asked. The last few days have been pretty rough. Not gonna lie.

It is a pretty awesome shirt isn’t it. My wife got it for me.
I’m 9 days off it’s a ride but we’ll worth it for the quality of life
Good for you! Keep grinding away it’s worth it indeed!
It is so rough honestly but your videos help a ton also I just found this stuff called theraworx and it’s great for the rls I know it’s worth it that’s what I keep telling myself
@@aaronbales7212 how long were u on suboxone? How much did u jump off of?
@@gabemccall3523 I’ve been on this garbage for 7 years and jumped off at 12 mg just didn’t want to wait any longer I watched your videos for a year before I finally did it. I just felt like God didn’t want this for me anymore my mind felt so flat and dull I was becoming a shell of who I am.
I got 14 days today it’s well worth it besides energy I’m coping well now my symptoms took longer to get bad because I jumped at 12 mg
I F'N HATE IT & THANK GOD I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO WANT FOR IT!!!
Hey Charlie! I deleted my FB account so I haven’t been able talk to u. My page will officially disappear in a week or 2. If u got a phone # react me so I know I got yours. I e been hitting other people up and asking them if they you were all right. Love ya man
Are you off the klonopin? Dr is weaning me now
Not yet. I just made a video a couple days ago and I go over my plan. I’ll be jumping in early March.
@@gabemccall3523 thx I’ll check it out...I’m going thru it too.. 7 months off methadone and now down to one mg a day of klonopin .. dr had to put me on elavil, which has helped a lot w the anxiety.. she’s dropping me .25 mg a month with the klonopin
You smoked before this vid 🤣
Works great for me. No problems with my sex drive at all. Also makes me want to do produtive things. This has to be the most inaccurate description of Suboxone ive ever seen.😂😂
That’s weird cause I talk to hundreds of people who agree with me. Usually people say what you’re saying when they haven’t been on it very long. Its a horrible thing being a slave to a medication like this and as your dependent on it year in and year out I’m sure your attitude towards it will change. Having a sex drive while on opioids is a pretty rare thing dude. How long you been on em?
@gabemccall3523 It will be 8 yrs in February. I'm down to 4 mgs a day.A very gradual taper. Guess I'm just lucky then!😁👍
Pro Tip: Use Kratom to get off subs!
If you use Kratom to get off of it, be careful not to become addicted to it.
About to try that soon! I was close to being done with Suboxone and gave in again. Been back on now for around 3 1/2 months. I bought some good Kratom so hopefully this helps me stop subs
@@thetattooedguy1413 it’ll help you. Just know u will get dependent on it (if u take it everyday) but then u can get off Kratom. God bless
@@thetattooedguy1413 White strains are the best research them. They are great for energy which lack of Is a common opiate withdrawal symtom
@@brandonfromkc2815 yea as someone who knows people who have come off white that's bullshit. No matter the strain you will have opiate like withdrawal
I can’t, I really really want and NEED to follow this channel, but between the fast ADHA talking, bouncing to topics, and this guy talking like he’s slammed adderal or coke, or both. Holy shit. I want to follow and listen but I my brain doesn’t work this fast. Yikes.
If you can hold on, it's worth iit.Gabe speaks so much truth about addiction and gives so much insight. Yes his ADHD can overwhelm some, but that's part of the reason he did what he did. I know this because I have it too, and went down the same road. Just enjoy the energy and try to find it humorous. I do, Gabe cracks me up!
Lol! I totally understand. It is annoying to me a lot the times. I try to cram as much information as I can I a short amount of time but in doing that I get off topic a lot. Please stick around though. I can tell that I tell the truth and call a spade a spade. God bless and take care.
Russ Fultz heres the weird thing I actually like this guy, like I truly do. Maybe it’s just my brain rewiring or readjusting to being sober I don’t know but some days I just can’t watch him and I want to, I need to. I’m trying to give him a try I keep logging on because I know even in our support groups they talk about his channel all the time both in Phoenix and Pittsburgh so I’m tryin buddy, I promise I am.
Gabe McCall totally not you buddy, It’s me I don’t know why my patience is just on edge I never used to be like that but anymore I’m just really really impatient with people I apologize. It’s not you it’s me as shitty as that sounds it really is the truth. Keep doing what you’re doing I know so many people are benefiting from it
@@meghanservidio1726 I understand, truly. I have ADHD and I know how people reacted to me. Sometimes we are just to much. High intensity. There are times we can't stand it either. All I can say is keep trying to watch. It will be worth the effort. You will never find another person more relatable, honest, and insightful about having an addiction as Gabe. (I'm pretty close tho, if you ever need support.)
I hate heroine more!
I hate you more
Just kidding 😂 😜 🤪 😅 😆
Suboxone, methadone, kratom, heroin, vicodin, oxy all made me depressed as shit overtime, at the beginning its the opposite but once you've been on opioids for awhile you definitely start feeling depressed as shit, for me it was both while on them and withdrawaling..opioids including mantience opioids made me complacent with sitting around and doing nothing, it was either work or sitting at home on the couch watching pointless shitt and frequently canceling out of plans. There's a point where you say I'm not even me anymore fuck this. No sex drive and zombified all the way.
