Bro, I am far from religious. However last night I started crying I was so uncomfortable and in pain and instantly I literally felt my legs feel great. I contribute that to god
Dude! Congratulations man! You’re over the mountain and almost in the clear! The worst of it is definitely behind you. I just hit 3 months the other day and I can tell you that my suboxone journey feels like ancient history. Besides a bit of occasional mild depression here and there, I’m completely asymptomatic and back to my old self again! Stay strong buddy, we’re proud of you man and here if you need support.
SeanDoyle congrats on 3 months. That is killer!! Keep on rollin man. I can’t picture me ever going back, looking forward it was too much of a time waster for me. I have some success to build!
Sean hey I have a question..... you properly tapered and well I just dropped cold Turkey. My acute phase lasted 12 days I would say. After day 4 there was improvement each and everyday. I definitely had lack of motivation, night sweats, and insomnia for longer than 12 days but the chills, gooseflesh, diarrhea etc chilled out and I really felt like subs had cleared my system around day 12. When did you feel like you cleared the acute phase and what when was the 1st day you felt like you turned a corner.
@@jessicapercoski9599 Hey, honestly it is hard to say. the first 3 days were the absolute worst, but when I was expecting it to get worse after day 3, it never did. the acute phase lingered until day 8-10 wish but it was less and less each day. At the time it was horrible, but not as bad as I had expected and definitely not the classic suboxone horror story you hear about. I was going on 2 mile jogs by day 4 (feeling like I was dying but pushing through) which made me feel exponentially better. But there were ups and downs and for a while i would feel like id take a step forward and then two steps back the next day... That maybe lasted for 2 months...but like I've said in the past, I also quit a 25 year pack a day cigarette habit at the exact same time so that may have exacerbated things a bit. 3 months later, I feel great. every once in a while I'll get a random chill or sneeze 6 times in a row, but aside from that I'm 100% haha so I guess I really felt out of the "constant" acute phase between 8-10 days but 30 days is when I started to really feel better and 60 days for the motivation to come back naturally without having to force myself. Overall, it sucked, but when done correctly it is ABSOLUTELY manageable. anyone can go through it but taper or not, you'll have to pay the piper for the prior abuse...the taper will just greatly reduce the suffering.
Sean, I can't believe you quit smoking too....I'm currently working on that one but I'm actually trying to do it right and taper :) its wild that the timeline is similar considering how low you got down before you jumped. Clearly extremely different experiences because I definitely wasn't running on day 4 lol but I could by day 10 or 12. My anxiety was real bad on days 5 and 6 I probably would've stroked out if I had tried. Either way in really happy that you are doing so well. Its gotta feel so good to have that monkey off your back!
@@jessicapercoski9599 The last time I had went cold turkey off of Suboxone(I had no choice) I was in heck for about 3 weeks, and I felt so damned tired for about 3 months. That was probably the worst part for me.
Yes man, I had loose stools for a month at least but it has gone back to normal twice a day shittin after some time. The body will get back to normal, as you know it’s an amazing thing! The fact that are a fitness buff is a big thing in your recovery brotha! I stayed active in my early recovery and withdrawal and it helped tons! Keep it up! It’s cliche as hell man but recovery is a rollercoaster ride man. I experienced severe ups and downs in early recovery. I do push-ups when I am anxious it helps. The serotonin and other brain chemicals are trying to even themselves out, and they surge one way and you feel on top of the world, then they plummet and I hit extreme lows. I really just continued telling myself it was normal and found ways to cope on thise down days. I still have bad days 19 months off methadone, I am just coping much better now with some time clean. My testosterone has definitely come back! I started being able to grow a beard and my body completely changed. The sensitivity in bed man, that also will go away and you will be your old self again! All I can say is enjoy those amazing early recovery orgasms while you can! Pretty much everything will return to normal it just takes you buying your body and mind the time it needs to heal! Be patient with yourself bro. Don’t be surprised if the anxiety lasts for a while or you start feeling bad on some days, in my experience at least it’s normal. You’re sharing your story man and I always say, if 1 person takes something from one of my videos and it helps them, awesome ya know? Obviously everyone has different journeys in life, addiction and recovery but sharing your story will help many people brotha! I appreciate what you are doing and have much respect for your courage in sharing your story! People didn’t believe I was even in withdrawal on a couple of my first videos because I was so damn motivated and just manned up and wasn’t laying in bed dying. I was ready and I will never go back man because I knew it was the only choice for me and continue to know that the rough days are worth the beautiful thing called recovery! Keep kicking ass man and please keep sharing the truth, both the good and the bad! Peace and love bro! ✌🏼❤️
I've been watching your videos and you are such a huge inspiration to me. You go so in depth with all the good, ugly, and bad. You give me so much hope for what I'm going thru right now. I stopped on 2mg my last day of subs. I was on them for 6 years. I'm officially on day 5 of my Subutex detox and have been taking your advice to heart. Thank you for documenting your journey with us all and rock on!
Appreciate all your information done in a very respectful way! Still tapering, down to .25, ordered my Comfort meds . So far no problem with the taper. Thanks for sharing it is very helpful..🌿🌸🤗
You're DOING THIS! This is so incredibly encouraging, exactly what I needed to see as I am working on tapering below 2mg. Thanks for sharing all your details and experiences with this, it's so helpful.
I feel ya there. I am taking 1.5 mg now and it hit me like 5 days into tapering from 2 mg and I am in so much pain my teeth ugh...I got an appt for the dentist and I refuse to go back up to 2 mg because of my tooth pain. I think its important that once you start that lower dose stick with it and refuse to go back up. I plan to stay at 1.5 until I adjust for a period of time and the WD is over. Even if I gotta stay at 1.5 for 2 months I will do that. It's still progress IMO. I want to feel human again and unfortunately I gotta experience the discomfort and psychological suffering but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Its nice that we can do it at our own pace and on our own time. I quit cold turkey and was never successful so I plan to take my time.
Thanks for continuing to share .. I got excited when I saw your post because i was wondering how the last few days have been going for you. Hell yea about skipping leg day when dealing with the restless legs lol can't imagine dealing with that combination!!! Keep pushing through you have come so far. I struggle with having control of my meds while trying to come off... exactly like you said if ur having a bad day it's way to easy to just take it even if u really don't need it. I tried having my husband hold mine for me a bunch of times..hes on them too but he isn't tapering... but then I just keep harassing him to give me one even when I don't really need one so I stopped with that and am trying to work on controlling myself. You are very inspiring thank you again.
I was Constipated until day eight! Ugh I had to drink rosin salts. Then after that it took months. I can say that now a days I have golden shits! Yay I’m so happy! Hahahhaa Suboxne withdrawal is a roller coaster! Some days really euphoric and others crazy, others sad as hell. But remember I was drinking quite a bit and playing around with kratom and Adderall. Prayers help a lot! 🙏 It’s important to have a divine presence in your life when you’re in recovery. Music rocks!!!! Hahahahah Sex is soooo much better!!!! I agree!!!!:) When I got off of the Suboxone I started taking Ashwaganda for my testosterone and it really helped. Yep they will be permanent in my experience. I have to be very attracted to my partner other wise it’s nill. So proud of you BadAss! Keep it up!!:)
Rockin Roberta I’m kinda planning on it being a couple months. Do I dont get discouraged if it doesn’t happen sooner. I hope my drive stays like this as you said. I can’t believe it took 7 days for you to get what I had from day 1. So crazy how diff everyone is lmao
Just watching this for the 4th time through. Ive tried this before and I've made it til about day 5 or 6 bc I had to wait to buy more off the street. Im on night 2 after flushing the rest of my subs. Havent looked back. I was shooting them for abt a year so its alot fking easier now that I was just taking them orally. Thanks for the hope man! Hope youre doing well
I am on day 6. last night I took 2 Flexeril pills {muscle relaxers} I had from a dr. visit from years ago and that really helped with the restless leg. I slept about 10 hours. These videos really help to I watch one for the day I'm on every day lol.
Probiotics have helped me a ton! BM’s got better after a few weeks but still sometimes are touch and go. It takes a long time to really heal your gut flora. Oh and I gained 20 lbs! It was good at first but now I’m definitely on a cut! Haha
I’m on 6 days sleep is making me emotional but I’ve been able to get sleep from 330-8am for past three days so I’m hoping it gets better. The bathroom issues are rough all of this is just insane. Hoping to feel better soon
Hey brother thanks for sharing. Opiates really mess up your bowels. You can either have constipation, diarrhea, or just IBS all the damn time. It’s good your taking probiotics and not overdoing it on pepto etc. In my many attempts it’s taken anywhere from 3-6 weeks. Your a healthy dude though so I’m curious in differences where as I had tortured my body practically to death. Much respect, stay honest and enjoy the trip cause we’re all in for the ride. God bless.
Yeah sure is! Watching your videos from the other side of the pond in England. Keep up the good work. I know how tough this whole saga is. Real shitty but there is light at the end.
Not impossible without faith in something, but definitely an invaluable rock to lean on for one who has it. Beying as far along as you are now I have to ask. Did you get a huge testosterone boost like I did when i made it 3 months after stopping from 2mg/day? Oh yeah, and how do you go about getting on TRT? For a meaty jock, you're pretty wise. Wiser than the average man. Understanding happiness, attachments, and a lot of other bits of knowledge and wisdom that the lack thereof becomes a trap for so many people. Hopefully you took that as a compliment.
You made it my friend, I'm jealous. Lol jk. seeing you do what you did man has made a lot of people see the light I think. But either way you made it brother
damn bro im down to 1.25mg a day now i was lower then that but had to bump it back up. i like to workout alot like you. but i just cant imagine working out without suboxone i almost feel like it a really good pre-workout. so idk what im gonna do. :(
I went 5 days involuntarily (ran out while I was on vacation) and it was horrible lol first day was the worst but the other 4 weren't showing any improvement. I can tell cold Turkey would be a horror show Still I did notice that going out and doing things helped more than anything else but everything was really painful (soreness like crazy, restless legs like crazy, uneasy stomach, etc.)
I’m on a ridiculous amount ( tiny tiny little piece ) of suboxone and my doctor gave me clonidine and I’m almost there but then I feel the muscle weakness really bad to the point it’s hard to stand. Especially my quads feel like jello. Idk what to do.
Even as a female .. really difficult while on subs to even WANT to have sex. Another downside of the subs... this detail is really important and we are all adults- thanks for speaking to all of this. It's important and relevant!!!!
I have you ever watched Nick behrooz taper off Suboxone videos? He seemed to do it just like you got off and had no problems either really!! And you're definitely right about suboxone making you content with your life even though it's really just a boring life, I'm talking about mine though. My life is so mundane and boring yet I'm okay with it and I know I would never would be okay with living like this if I was clean off subs
@@kickinaddiction ikr I love watching suboxone withdrawal videos for some reason, as long as they're not horror stories even though they usually are LOL
I have a question ik this vid was from 4 years ago but I am now on suboxone and started out with 8mg a day and am down to under 1mg a day an 8mg strip will last me about 12 days and I was wondering how much you were taking before you went cold turkey or stopped taking it all together cause I am at such a low dose I feel like I can’t really go lower but don’t know how to start completely stopping
Not TMI - it's all good. We are all familiar with chronic constipation with Suboxone. When I was taking Suboxone I literally could not have a bowel movement without an enema. It was so sad. My basic needs in life went completely down the shitter are no pun intended... now on the Bunavail I'm more regular but still struggle. You are going to have some diarrhea and more frequent bowel movements and inconsistencies for probably 3 to 6 months. It will level off though, just give it some time
@11:00 1. Your sex drive will return to normal over the next 12 months. Get your test checked twice in two weeks to get an accurate average level. After you stop opioids your test will return to normal but sometimes it takes up to a year. 2. You have to remember our brain takes time to return to normal when it comes to creating and releasing correct amounts of endorphins/dopamine but it will "reboot" and gradually become normal again. 3. Expect to take about a year all around to get back to normal guys. It is not automatic in any way.
I’m on day 12 ( with Kratom still ) and I would say day 10 my body was pretty much normal and sleep got better around 7-8 hrs sleep with ibuprofen pm at night (normal dose just once). I’m happy for u man
Hattem aladham that’s awesome buddy great job. I don’t see a problem with Kratom as long as you don’t take enough to feel the euphoria from it. You gonna taper off that soon?
I came off 1mg of suboxone . Tdy day 14 . But I tried to jump off at .25 mg a year ago and by day 3 it was still really bad and that’s when I tapped out 1 yr ago and ended up at 1 mg . So yea answer is jumped off 1mg
Suboxone withdrawal is not that bad at all, you really need to taper down. I tried once without tapering...I had minor effects but at days 6-7 It was rather uncomfortable. With tapering it is really not bad at all, u can jump off at 2mg....but it is better to taper for 6months with ur last script and for 2/3months with the one before..it will as if nothing went wrong. Dedicate 2 scripts and stay focus. After wards eat healthy I also tried Kratom.
Ive been on about 8 mgs for a month and almost a half. Im now down to about 5-6 mgs a day, but i really don't want to be on it anymore. I have experience with suboxone, opiates, benzos, Been on maintenance before with buprenorphine but this time i want to stop before it gets too far..... what is youre outlook on my situation? When i had 3 years clean before i wasn't on anything either
@@kickinaddiction yeah its definitely pretty painful...i referred to it as having an anxious tummy....its weird for sure! I remember waking everyday between 4 or 5 am with it!
It's no joke coming off these meds. I'm 2 weeks in off bruponorphen. Can't sleep my legs are restless it horrible. Stomach is shot. I just stopped off 16mil a day to nothing
Hugo Stiglitz I was on for a year and a half 8mg- 4mg a day and it sucked but after 23-25 days I physically felt better(I did workout tho everyday went for a run ) but my mental state still needed some work
The normal highlands ones didn’t work for me but the pm ones did. I had to take about 10 my first 4 nights though. Currently don’t need them at this point. I tapered off them after day 8
Dude i had to just get surgery on my asshole from bad constipation over 2 years. I took this time to get off subs to. 5 days in had to take a .25mg. Back to 72 hours feel fine as of now... pray for me
Damn man! I always preach to folks on here that they need to monitor their constipation daily. I hear lots of stories like this. You got this 💪 what did they do for the surgery?
@@kickinaddiction ive been on .50- .60 for the past 2 months. Prior, 1-2mg for a while, been coming down from +24mg over the past 2 years. (2.5yrs total)
@@nathansmith6387 well it's been a year and at day 5 I took a half and been taking it since. Now am pregnant and doctor says it's not a good idea to get off the subs right now. But now they have me on Buprenorphine only without the Naloxone.
I have been taking about 6 mgs past month and a half and want to stop this early as possible. Now honestly. When you stopped, by day 5, were you really in severe withdrawal or was most of it because of the horror stories people post and anxiety based more than actual withdrawal? Being completely serious here as im curious and do not want to be on this stuff anymore
@@SAMEntalhealththe withdrawals are majorly intense on day 5. The worst symptoms don’t usually kick in until days 3-5, but it’s rough AF the entire time. If u sleep at night during the process, consider urself blessed. Many many many people can’t even sleep a wink because of the intense restless legs, but that same pain is in ur arms. You’re tired, upset stomach, weak, fatigued, drained, flu symptoms, back pain, but the restless legs is by far the worst part because you’re so tired and having to work but you have zero energy and don’t feel like you’ll ever recover because you’re not sleeping at all. It’s terrible
I'm just letting you know I did a very long taper down to .25mg every other day, and I'm currently on day 65 with symptoms only just starting to go away. It's a really really long process buckle in because i convinced myself itd only take a month which was not the case & very discouraging.
@@kericollins8894 typical withdrawal symptoms. I'm currently at day 71 and the physical symptoms have gone away. The thing that lingered the longest were the cold sweats / lethargy, but it's been improving as I started working again. Keeping your mind and body occupied help a ton, and I'm definitely grateful I tapered. My biggest complaint through the withdrawal process was not symptom intensity but symptom duration. My withdrawal was never like full blown H withdrawal the symptoms are much more tolerable but the duration of symptoms begins to wear you down by day 30+.
Possibly check out info on Kratom rather than falling back on subs if it becomes dire. It’s honestly done incredible things for me in my recovery off opiates. Natural, similarities in properties on receptors. Hit me up if you have any questions. I’d like to get your take on the diet and nutrition aspect in recovery. Personally I’m building from the ground up.
ian anderson I do have Kratom in hand if needed, I will def not be going back on subs. It was way to hard for me to come off. I’ll be patient with my gut since it’s been damaged for the last 10+ years. Thanks buddy
ian anderson hey I have a lot of info if u need, I’m off sub and workout daily, and also eat clean. Curious about the Keaton tho. Maybe we can trade ;)
I had zero stomach issues when I had went off Suboxone cold turkey. It felt like the worst flu I had ever had and the biggest problem was a lack of energy. It lasted for almost 3 months, or so it seemed. In reality it was probably only about 6 weeks. I really enjoy exercising and with as tired as I was, it was hard enough to go to work! Even though I would always feel better after a good hard workout. The other thing that bothered me was how easily I would start crying. This lasted for about 3 to 4 weeks. I am currently on about 4-6mg/day, even though I am subscribed 8mg(I like to keep a stockpile, for emergencies, as we all do). Suboxone really suppresses the production of testosterone and when I was on it, even at 8 mg, I was still horny all of the time. After I went cold turkey I was super horny all of the time. Now I am on testosterone replacement therapy.
Bro, I am far from religious. However last night I started crying I was so uncomfortable and in pain and instantly I literally felt my legs feel great. I contribute that to god
Went through it day 1-3 was borderline suicidal but God got me through.
Amazing miracles for sure!

Hey brother thanks for sharing. Opiates really mess up your bowels. You can either have constipation, diarrhea, or just IBS all the damn time. It’s good your taking probiotics and not overdoing it on pepto etc. In my many attempts it’s taken anywhere from 3-6 weeks. Your a healthy dude though so I’m curious in differences where as I had tortured my body practically to death. Much respect, stay honest and enjoy the trip cause we’re all in for the ride. God bless.
ian anderson I’ll def let you guys know when things get normal. It is what it is I’ll get there :)
Great video. YEAH BUDDY!!!
Shabby Trooper hahah Ronnie Coleman? Lightbweight baby!!!
Yeah sure is! Watching your videos from the other side of the pond in England. Keep up the good work. I know how tough this whole saga is. Real shitty but there is light at the end.
Not impossible without faith in something, but definitely an invaluable rock to lean on for one who has it. Beying as far along as you are now I have to ask. Did you get a huge testosterone boost like I did when i made it 3 months after stopping from 2mg/day? Oh yeah, and how do you go about getting on TRT?
For a meaty jock, you're pretty wise. Wiser than the average man. Understanding happiness, attachments, and a lot of other bits of knowledge and wisdom that the lack thereof becomes a trap for so many people. Hopefully you took that as a compliment.
He did it 💪
You made it my friend, I'm jealous. Lol jk. seeing you do what you did man has made a lot of people see the light I think. But either way you made it brother
damn bro im down to 1.25mg a day now i was lower then that but had to bump it back up. i like to workout alot like you. but i just cant imagine working out without suboxone i almost feel like it a really good pre-workout. so idk what im gonna do. :(
How much of the vitamins and other supplements are you taking..havnt said much about that ..thx
I went 5 days involuntarily (ran out while I was on vacation) and it was horrible lol first day was the worst but the other 4 weren't showing any improvement. I can tell cold Turkey would be a horror show
Still I did notice that going out and doing things helped more than anything else but everything was really painful (soreness like crazy, restless legs like crazy, uneasy stomach, etc.)
Your doing awesome man keep it up it’s just going to get better!!! Do you go to meetings?
Hopeless to Hopeful no meetings, this channel is more then enough help. I’m not going back to that shit ever again....
I’m on a ridiculous amount ( tiny tiny little piece ) of suboxone and my doctor gave me clonidine and I’m almost there but then I feel the muscle weakness really bad to the point it’s hard to stand. Especially my quads feel like jello. Idk what to do.
Even as a female .. really difficult while on subs to even WANT to have sex. Another downside of the subs... this detail is really important and we are all adults- thanks for speaking to all of this. It's important and relevant!!!!
I have you ever watched Nick behrooz taper off Suboxone videos? He seemed to do it just like you got off and had no problems either really!! And you're definitely right about suboxone making you content with your life even though it's really just a boring life, I'm talking about mine though. My life is so mundane and boring yet I'm okay with it and I know I would never would be okay with living like this if I was clean off subs
Reid Schaper oh yea brother I’ve watched everyone’s videos about subs I’ve spent way way to many hours researching this shit hahah
@@kickinaddiction ikr I love watching suboxone withdrawal videos for some reason, as long as they're not horror stories even though they usually are LOL
have you tried kratom for wd? it helps big time!
I'm just about to jump off from 1mg a day can't seem to go lower than that without feeling like I took anything. What meds do you use for rls
I have a question ik this vid was from 4 years ago but I am now on suboxone and started out with 8mg a day and am down to under 1mg a day an 8mg strip will last me about 12 days and I was wondering how much you were taking before you went cold turkey or stopped taking it all together cause I am at such a low dose I feel like I can’t really go lower but don’t know how to start completely stopping
What do mean by "comfort meds"?
Not TMI - it's all good. We are all familiar with chronic constipation with Suboxone. When I was taking Suboxone I literally could not have a bowel movement without an enema. It was so sad. My basic needs in life went completely down the shitter are no pun intended... now on the Bunavail I'm more regular but still struggle. You are going to have some diarrhea and more frequent bowel movements and inconsistencies for probably 3 to 6 months. It will level off though, just give it some time
I'm down to 1/4 strip twice a day...one day at a time
Heidi Watson so happy for you! Keep it up and keep us posted
@11:00 1. Your sex drive will return to normal over the next 12 months. Get your test checked twice in two weeks to get an accurate average level. After you stop opioids your test will return to normal but sometimes it takes up to a year. 2. You have to remember our brain takes time to return to normal when it comes to creating and releasing correct amounts of endorphins/dopamine but it will "reboot" and gradually become normal again. 3. Expect to take about a year all around to get back to normal guys. It is not automatic in any way.
I’m on day 12 ( with Kratom still ) and I would say day 10 my body was pretty much normal and sleep got better around 7-8 hrs sleep with ibuprofen pm at night (normal dose just once). I’m happy for u man
Hattem aladham that’s awesome buddy great job. I don’t see a problem with Kratom as long as you don’t take enough to feel the euphoria from it. You gonna taper off that soon?
Hey man yes I have much less , and not to feel the euphoria. Thx for checking man.
The euphoria part never really happens often I don’t take high does just enough every 6-8 hours now
What dose did u come off of
I came off 1mg of suboxone . Tdy day 14 . But I tried to jump off at .25 mg a year ago and by day 3 it was still really bad and that’s when I tapped out 1 yr ago and ended up at 1 mg . So yea answer is jumped off 1mg
Suboxone withdrawal is not that bad at all, you really need to taper down. I tried once without tapering...I had minor effects but at days 6-7 It was rather uncomfortable. With tapering it is really not bad at all, u can jump off at 2mg....but it is better to taper for 6months with ur last script and for 2/3months with the one before..it will as if nothing went wrong. Dedicate 2 scripts and stay focus. After wards eat healthy I also tried Kratom.
Ive been on about 8 mgs for a month and almost a half. Im now down to about 5-6 mgs a day, but i really don't want to be on it anymore. I have experience with suboxone, opiates, benzos, Been on maintenance before with buprenorphine but this time i want to stop before it gets too far..... what is youre outlook on my situation? When i had 3 years clean before i wasn't on anything either
Keep tapering my friend. Taper down to 1/4 of one mg before you jump off. 👍
Normal movements do come back. I'd say 12 to 14 days you see them come back to being regular...:)
Hey! How are you doing??
I can’t believe it’s been 3 months!
I can’t wait for that. Stomach growling at night is horrible
@@kickinaddiction yeah its definitely pretty painful...i referred to it as having an anxious tummy....its weird for sure! I remember waking everyday between 4 or 5 am with it!
Sean congratulations for sure on 3 months. I bet you feel amazing. Super proud to see you succeed. Keep me posted!
It's no joke coming off these meds. I'm 2 weeks in off bruponorphen. Can't sleep my legs are restless it horrible. Stomach is shot. I just stopped off 16mil a day to nothing
You’re a very brave person! Very brave!
I have a very good friend on this, who is try to get off of it, so I was searching around on here for things to send him.
Hey bud I’m almost at 2 years give it 30 days and you should be back to normal 👍👍
Hopeless to Hopeful ..thanks for that right to the point
But how long were you on subs and how big was your dose? I've heard from people that it took months to really feel ok.
Hugo Stiglitz I was on for a year and a half 8mg- 4mg a day and it sucked but after 23-25 days I physically felt better(I did workout tho everyday went for a run ) but my mental state still needed some work
What kind of meds are you taking for your rls?
Hylands restless legs or calm
It doesn't work for everyone tho
The normal highlands ones didn’t work for me but the pm ones did. I had to take about 10 my first 4 nights though. Currently don’t need them at this point. I tapered off them after day 8
Ryback?
Didnt you say you were going to quit in September?
Eddie Congdon I tried jumping in sept and oct failed both times. Needed to taper more. Those videos are documented if you go back
@@kickinaddiction yeah it's a pain in the ass this medication I'll watch the old vids later
Hope you doing ok? Waiting for your next video dude.
Shabby Trooper still counting hours up buddy. I’ll make a video Monday morning :) 👌
Why did you get back on?
This video is 5 years old lol
Dude i had to just get surgery on my asshole from bad constipation over 2 years. I took this time to get off subs to. 5 days in had to take a .25mg. Back to 72 hours feel fine as of now... pray for me
Damn man! I always preach to folks on here that they need to monitor their constipation daily. I hear lots of stories like this. You got this 💪 what did they do for the surgery?
Also what dose of subs were you on?
@@kickinaddiction worst case of hemmrhoids my surgeons ever seen bro no joke. Thrombosed hemmrohoid is the correct term
@@kickinaddiction ive been on .50- .60 for the past 2 months. Prior, 1-2mg for a while, been coming down from +24mg over the past 2 years. (2.5yrs total)
So I’m assuming you had constipation due to being on subs? And thats why you had issues?
I've been on suboxone for 3½ months, only wad taking 4mg every 24 hrs and im freaking out! Im on day 2
You got this. How yuu feelin
@@nathansmith6387 well it's been a year and at day 5 I took a half and been taking it since. Now am pregnant and doctor says it's not a good idea to get off the subs right now. But now they have me on Buprenorphine only without the Naloxone.
I have been taking about 6 mgs past month and a half and want to stop this early as possible. Now honestly. When you stopped, by day 5, were you really in severe withdrawal or was most of it because of the horror stories people post and anxiety based more than actual withdrawal? Being completely serious here as im curious and do not want to be on this stuff anymore
@@SAMEntalhealththe withdrawals are majorly intense on day 5. The worst symptoms don’t usually kick in until days 3-5, but it’s rough AF the entire time. If u sleep at night during the process, consider urself blessed. Many many many people can’t even sleep a wink because of the intense restless legs, but that same pain is in ur arms. You’re tired, upset stomach, weak, fatigued, drained, flu symptoms, back pain, but the restless legs is by far the worst part because you’re so tired and having to work but you have zero energy and don’t feel like you’ll ever recover because you’re not sleeping at all. It’s terrible
I'm just letting you know I did a very long taper down to .25mg every other day, and I'm currently on day 65 with symptoms only just starting to go away. It's a really really long process buckle in because i convinced myself itd only take a month which was not the case & very discouraging.
What have your symptoms been?
@@kericollins8894 typical withdrawal symptoms. I'm currently at day 71 and the physical symptoms have gone away. The thing that lingered the longest were the cold sweats / lethargy, but it's been improving as I started working again. Keeping your mind and body occupied help a ton, and I'm definitely grateful I tapered. My biggest complaint through the withdrawal process was not symptom intensity but symptom duration. My withdrawal was never like full blown H withdrawal the symptoms are much more tolerable but the duration of symptoms begins to wear you down by day 30+.
Possibly check out info on Kratom rather than falling back on subs if it becomes dire. It’s honestly done incredible things for me in my recovery off opiates. Natural, similarities in properties on receptors. Hit me up if you have any questions. I’d like to get your take on the diet and nutrition aspect in recovery. Personally I’m building from the ground up.
ian anderson I do have Kratom in hand if needed, I will def not be going back on subs. It was way to hard for me to come off. I’ll be patient with my gut since it’s been damaged for the last 10+ years. Thanks buddy
ian anderson hey I have a lot of info if u need, I’m off sub and workout daily, and also eat clean. Curious about the Keaton tho. Maybe we can trade ;)
What are you calling the "restless leg pills" ??? what are they by brand name, Thank you
Walmart. Hylands restful legs. Pm works best for night time
I had zero stomach issues when I had went off Suboxone cold turkey. It felt like the worst flu I had ever had and the biggest problem was a lack of energy. It lasted for almost 3 months, or so it seemed. In reality it was probably only about 6 weeks. I really enjoy exercising and with as tired as I was, it was hard enough to go to work! Even though I would always feel better after a good hard workout. The other thing that bothered me was how easily I would start crying. This lasted for about 3 to 4 weeks. I am currently on about 4-6mg/day, even though I am subscribed 8mg(I like to keep a stockpile, for emergencies, as we all do). Suboxone really suppresses the production of testosterone and when I was on it, even at 8 mg, I was still horny all of the time. After I went cold turkey I was super horny all of the time. Now I am on testosterone replacement therapy.
