Suboxone Withdrawal Timeline

- Get Clean by any means Necessary. The Drug of Choice doesn't mater, shut up and start Recovering. Don't brag about "oh I did bla bla bla" FIX "you" motherfucker. Shut up and stay clean. This isn't a contest, it never was. If you think that way, good luck to you anyway, but you wont last long.
God almighty... day 14. No symptoms have let up at all. Infact many such as diarrhea and cold flashes have intensified. Sleep deprivation/ restless legs/ lack of energy and cognitive ability are among my biggest challenges at this point. It's one thing to be in hell. It's another thing to be in hell while sleep deprived and confused. Whoever is reading this, you're not alone.
Update?
@@ALWAYZAHEAD-YT things are FAR better. Energy recently recovered to normal. My severe symptoms took a little over a few weeks to really cut back. And I was just left with not as much energy until about 2 weeks ago.. im feeling pretty normal now.
@Oxboh I was able to get a decent night's sleep after about 4 weeks bro. Before that I would wake up every 20 minutes and struggle to get back to sleep. It sucked ass but it was worth it for how I am now. Everyone is different but yea my insomnia was the most annoying. And inability to feel any physical comfort at all. After 4 weeks things started to be bearable
I'm right there with you it is horrible unfortunately I could not take it when I finally got to the point of anxiety so much that I could not breathe I took a small price
This is after a few weeks
@@rhondapina1653 I was right there not long ago. Be strong. Not even a piece (even though I totally understand where you're at). One thing that can help ease the symptoms is kratom. It's not an opiate. Natural herb capsule or powder you can take that helps fight opiate withdrawal. Just don't abuse it. You got this.
6 years clean!
Congratulations!! Only by the grace of God. ❤️🙏
How did you get off of them helppppp
Do you have the time for a couple questions?
I'm on day 3 right now.. ... restless leg and lack of sleep is killing me!!! This will soon pass, I will not fail.
Update?
Yoo so how did it go?
Always the left leg and arms
How did it go bro ..
@@khiljinagor8976same for me. This is my third and final time I will be getting off suboxone. I was on it this time for 14 years. I am on day 18 and at day 15 I had the break through of the shit feeling. I now only have insomnia because of restless leg not legs now which is my right leg and my arms. So dumb but it’s whatever I made it through the worst part. And my god the stupid sneezing, and nasty smells. But this too shall pass and if I can do it cold turkey for the third time anyone can. I’m in a great spot, I am age 37 now and I don’t need suboxone anymore.
suboxone is hell. it's like a chain keeping you in the same place.
I'm so sad. Iv been on it like 10 years I want off so bad. I get so sick so quickly.
@@diamondhearts07 Hope you can make it ive been off for 12 days. Did it through taking other meds at the hardest points especially for sleep but sauna showers eating good all helped too much
@@diamondhearts07 You’re only operating at like 50% emotionally, creatively, energy and inspiration is low. I smoked a pack a day on subs. Don’t even need to mention digestive problems. Bro I pray God gives you strength. I’m on day 16 no subs. I took between 3-4 8mg tabs a day for 10 years then my dr died. I was able to get like 20 and stretched them to about 4-5 weeks with no major problems. Such little subs can do a lot. I tried to get good healthy food that was ready to eat because it will be extremely hard to get up from 0 energy. Raos chicken noodle was easy and good. I took kratom dlpa kava b12 ashwaganda. Good news bro it ain’t that bad. I did have to take a week off but lots of people are taking time off right now so you won’t stick out as much😉 kratom at night works for restless legs. I’m at day 16 and I feel like a new man. Some fatigue. Very mild restless leg at night but my mind is clear music is so much more enjoyable. It’s not that bad if you plan it out and pray. God bless you🤙
Suboxone saved my life so I wouldn't say that
its the absolute worst, the worst….. Subutex…. scared.
I’m day 13 didn’t sleep well last night but I can tell during the day and night I’m feeling a little better everyday!!!! I work a really labor intensive job and it’s been hell!! Been at this job 5 years and never missed a day of work and I’m not gonna start now!! Hang in there folks you can do this!! I had to research withdraws after I wasn’t feeling better after about 9-10 days I had know idea that withdraws last as long as it does!! Any rate just saying it ain’t all great after 13 day but I can tell it’s not as bad as 9 days in and before!! If you can take time off work might be a good thing but for me I want to remember this feeling these last two weeks I will never forget I hope I never go back to drugs. I even quit smoking and I keep myself working and definitely stay at home and don’t hang with users!!
Working a super intense labor job is literally how I got clean. Working in the Virginia hot sun all day while withdrawing was brutal. But by the second week I was almost back to normal. I would literally have to bring a complete change of clothes everyday an change before lunch because I'd sweat so much. It was a literal hell.
Stay strong. Im day 60. 7 years high mg Suboxone. Evil chit mental episode breakdown ect.
You’re one bad ass MF , I took two weeks off because I couldn’t work . Respect bro hope you’re well
You the man
How are you doing? Feeling better now off it than when you Where on it?
Great video. Thank you! I appreciate the really personal vibe.
And congratulations on the promotion!
I was on Rx'd Oxyies. Really wanted to get clean. Started Suboxone for a couple months after stopping Oxycontins. Took way less than doctor said. And started tapering off right away. You can feel your body complaining as you taper off Suboxone. But the difference between that last tiny tiny dose and none: That's when the real withdrawal starts.
Your descriptions of symptoms are spot on.
That constant low grade nausea, heightened smell and body sensitivity etc.
Lasted a lot longer for me. The fatigue and anxiety: Took me a good 6 months before I felt normal.
But getting clean is totally worth it!
I’m on day 4 Suboxone withdrawal. I was on 8mg for 2.5 years; pain pills before that for about 13 years. My legs are sooooo achey but other than that, I feel ok. Imodium is a godsend(normal doses; it does NOT pass the blood/brain barrier). I’m using hydroxyzine for anxiety. The difference this time is I’ve chosen this. I put in 2.5 years of work on myself and my recovery. No, I don’t feel like a million bucks, but we’ve got this!!
I'm on my 5th day off this junk. I was down to 3 8 mg's for ten days. So, low dose. I do have chills, sneezing 🤧? Is that a symptom or do I have a cold? Anyway, it's not pretty. But I've done this before & my life, I HAVE to do it again. Blessings everyone
@@kimmysplayhouse can u answer this urgently? If I did it for a couple days would I be going through fatal withdrawal? I started feeling like shit the day after at night .
@kimmybbbyeah can u answer this urgently? If I did it for a couple days would I be going through fatal withdrawal? I started feeling like shit the day after at night .
@@kimmysplayhouse any tips for the restless leg syndrome. I'm on day 5 and last night was miserable.
@@kimmysplayhouse I'm on day 8 now and I took some gabapentins to help me sleep otherwise I could not.
Tonight will be the 8th night and I pray the restless leg syndrome is gone.
Other than that I have felt good for the last couple days
omg i am dying ..... crying when you said i wish i could help you...... I am so stupid... i got myself here and the doctors don't give two shits about helping me get on a taper schedule. I just got it down to like .5mg and thought wow this is EASY PEASY... then two days later (today) i feel like someone BOOTED ME in my GUTS and tears falling continuously about all my regrets and all my fears just flooding me.
Fuck me too.
Me too
For me it lasted 10 days. I tapered down to .25mg every 36hrs stayed at that dose for 1 week then stopped. I didn't experience any anxiety or depression. The first 4 days was the hardest. Felt tired, sore muscles, difficulty sleeping, 30 bowel movements a day.. but after 7 days I started feeling a lot better and by day 10 I felt mostly good. By day 15 I felt normal
Be strong and do not give up. My son passed away 3 years ago !!! Good luck 🍀
So sorry for your loss!!!!
GOOD GOD I AM SO SORRY for your loss ma'am 😪
I'm so very sorry for your pain ❤ From another mom ❤
I'm very sorry Pam! This is why I hate drugs with everything in me!
Well Jake... u wanted that one person u could help...
Looks like u have helped a few.
I am that person.
Thank u.
I'm 2 weeks off Sub today..still feeling so fucking bad but proud too.
I have watched a few of ur videos everyday since right before the jump.
Did u have an up and down in symptoms at all??
I'm only curious because I have had a cpl days where I was pretty sure I felt some better...today the real tears have arrived. I been figuring they would show up. My stomach is on fire doing flip flops..and my legs are something I would damn near part with if it meant the rls would just stop. The lack of energy and sensitivity is just unreal and on a level that was totally unimaginable.
I haven't heard any talk about back slide like this..any knowledge ot support would be helpful.
Peace be with u my strong friend!
I'm 22 days since my last dose. The Restless Legs is killing me. Sure the lack/absolutely no energy socks but the nights are so bad I find myself questioning life and I love my life. I quit bc I felt helpless in the dependency and I'm feeling that helplessness with my sleep. My wife's incredible in her support but half the time I don't want even the cats tail to brush against me or I get agitated. I'm still fighting, staying up all night most nights but I'm in it for the long haul, however long this takes. You hit it on the head, you have to want to be clean and I WILL CONTINUE TO BE CLEAN if I never sleep another night in my life.
How long were you on for? The lack of sleep kills me
couple of weeks then it slowly get better.
Im almost on day 5 … i cNt sleep
I liked your video, watch other videos and it bored me. I like your video because you were real thank you.
15 months post benzo 5 days off suboxone. It is rough but you have to be in the right state of mind. Worst part is keeping up with my kids best I can. Thankfully I have a very supportive wife who has helped tremendously.
You are blessed to have your family. I'm proud of you! I'm on day 9 sub w/d. It's better except the restless legs but I tell myself that my body needs to adjust back to normal after all those years of abuse.
I'll be up all night too. You're not alone. You can do this. 👍😊
4 days off Subutex and I'm in bad shape..I can barely move I'm not able to shower shave or even get up to pee. I just want it to be over with I'm in such a vulnerable state
@@bassAssassin187 bro I’m right there with you. I’m gona have to shave my damn head cause I have long hair and I swear taking a shower is a chore beyond description
@@bassAssassin187 how long where you on subs and how much did you take? I’ve been taking 4-8mgs a day for about 2 months…. Do you think I could just cold turkey it and use kratom? I just want to stop taking it before it starts to REALLY mess me up. And I figured the sooner the better.
@@JarvisGems dude I was on them for 5 years. It was the absolute worst detox I've had. I'm still not right yet but my mind has came back and about 80% physically. Get off while you can all they are is a monkey on your back. Yes they help but to what extent and for how long... just not worth the risk in my opinion
After 2.7 years of Suboxone, since Halloween, CLEAN & SOBER, I will not relapse.
Still have a runny nose and tearing eyes when I awaken, or just lay down and relax for 15 minutes, 🤔.
Rampant anxiety too. Some days worse than others.
Anyone else?
Btw, Requip, for restless legs --- it works GREAT!!!
(God Bless you, son. I mean that!!!)
Congratulations bud. That’s awesome ❤️
@@DynamiteDB Nothing has changed. No relapse, but the runny nose, eyes, and hot flashes at night are persistent. Seems as though they're permanent.
Damage from drugs Doctors gave me, and they get to walk away from it all.
After what we now know about the SICKcare in this world, I'm out to DESTROY the monsters who did this to me!!!
@@whatsyurprob158 sorry to hear that dude. It’s scary shit right. Do you work or do you believe you’re unable to work?
I'm on day 24 of suboxone withdrawal. I was able to come off from 0.06 mg, and I'm feeling better. Even though it was a small amount to come off of, withdrawal was still very difficult, and I only started feeling somewhat normal about a week ago. Some days are still hard, but the grace of God has gotten me this far, and I see the light. You can do it!
I tapered off in 2022. You're going to be so glad you did this! I started working out and then I quit smoking. Getting off gives you a boost in confidence you can't ignore!
Proud of you ! I jumped off clean aug.6th til sept 26th and im still not jumpy energetic but life is cooler as i feel as myself the difference between mat and natural
Thank you for making this video. Im in suboxone withdrawal now and it's actually been a living hell, but not so much physical symptoms, the EXHAUSTION,,, thats what I cant handle. Anyway,, sorry to b such a bummer here,, im sure I will live,, best luck to you and your very handsome. Not flirting,, I'm a married woman, etc....
How are you feeling? I’m on day 4 today
keep it going bro. good video, that first 72 hours can be false hope for many people then they get slammed. like that you talk about this topic.. never quit! never fail!
I’m going on 96 hours right now from a .50mg a day jump and it’s HELL. Been on subs 12 years. My body doesn’t know what the hell to do without it.
It's that bad from 0.50?
@@kristopherfisher2517 yes. I just jumped from .25 and 3 days in I haven't slept and have horrible RLS. Sweats are just starting and diarrhea.
@@Stump.vr.officialI'ma jump at . 13 lol.
Holy shit these comments..
num one.. update?
Num two.. did y’all try to do .50 or .25 every two days for a bit or you just jumped straight off
Been on it for 15 years, 7 days clean , what you’ve described, so far is very accurate to my experience, still waiting for the symptoms to start to subside.I can just about manage the days, but the agitation in the evenings & chronic lack of sleep sucks.I had originally booked a week off work 😂I’ve ended up taking a month, just hoping I will be fit for work by then, right now I can barely function.
Just curious how you're feeling now? I had to take 6 weeks off of work. I'm almost at 2 months and still wake up in sweat every morning, I'm still having a hard time with exhaustion and I'm so irritable I can't even stand to be around myself. Some days I still feel like I can't function and some days I feel like I can see a light at the end of the the tunnel, goes back and forth.
@@kalifanning920 I’m exactly the same, 3 months, still v depressed, no energy , no motivation, I don’t know maybe I was on it too long. Probably going to go back on a small dose, I can’t go on like this.
@@Peaceshiet812 have you tried Kratom? I really don’t believe in substituting one drug for another and I know it’s addicting as well. But I believe it’s lesser than the 2 evils. I would rather detox from Kratom in the future for a week then subs for 3+ months.
@@kalifanning920 oh Boy I have tried Kratom, struggling with it right now, it does work for a short time, but then you end up with 2 problems, not one 😳
@@Peaceshiet812 omg I’m so sorry! I took it for two months, tapered to1 to 2 or 3 mg a day the last month, I really hope my withdrawals aren’t that bad as well
I appreciate this video!! It seems very honest and to the point. I am just about to “TRY” and get off subs for the 4th time……. I am only on day 2……… i sometimes wonder what is wrong with me?!?! I was an opioid addict for 15+yrs (OxyContin 80s and perc 30s). Then got on suboxone for 5-6yrs…… I don’t have a doctor so I had to get my subs from the streets. My connection got arrested recently and so now I’m going without subs. I applaud you for this video! It seemed genuine and honest. I know that the worst is still ahead of me and I’m scared. But hearing you speak honestly brings me slight hope. Take care and have a blessed day! I’m not a religious guy……. but pray for me please! I need all the help I can get! My family has no idea of what I’m going through
Go to the clinic and get help
I am in the exact same situation. Currently 48 hours in, but I refuse to continue. I am not going to let this drug take control of my life.
The exact situation with me...
I was on only 8mg for 2 years but managed to get down to 4mg before I decided i just want to get off this shit and fully quit. That was 9 days ago and you were very accurate with the feelings of coming off. I still have restless legs but it’s nothing that’s too bad and still get mild hot cold chills but I honestly don’t feel any of the anxiety to be honest which is one thing I’m very happy about. To me and this is me I feel like it’s a much milder opiate withdrawal that will last about twice as long. But that may also be because I was on only 4 mg when I stopped, and yes everyone’s different.
Best video yet.
I hope you’re still doing good!! I’m proud of you
Hour 180 baby!!! No going back!
Edit: 15 year Subox addict, all I can say is in my opinion taper, taper, taper. I was down to about 1mg a day at the end after 4 months of tapering. However, I still felt like I could have destroyed a small village on Day 4, you just gotta deal with it. Now on day 8, just a bit restless and sneezing approximately x1000 daily.
Did subs ever make you feel faint and rapid heart beat?
@@510fitness3 possibly at the very start but for the past 180 months they just became my normal.....day 28 in about 10 hours, they still leave lingering cravings but sneezing, diarrhea, sleeplessness, etc... is a few days gone. They are so much worse of a withdrawl that I ever had from illicit opiates.....
@@Chief_Eagle_Dropping thanks for your response. I been on subs 4 years. I’m on day 1 coming off.. I been wanting to get off.. laity I been feeling lightheaded faint and rapid heart beat. I started abusing subs. Taking them 3 to 4 times a day just to feel relaxed.. it gave me more anxiety so I decided to get off.. I’m on 28 hours since my 5 day taper.. I feel so depressed and feel like crap.. my anxiety is even worse. If I can get to 72 hours clean I no the rest will be eazy
@@510fitness3 i did a 6 month taper....got down to micro size. Honestly, even the smallest amount coats the receptors. Not sure it was worth it....I did the same thing for a long time. Taking 2 daily split into 4 times a day. Just expect a tought 2 weeks, it got substantially easier after that....God bless and good luck!
I cant get passed 2mg daily. hurts ? What to do?
Sub withdrawl was the worse withdrawl iv ever been through. I was on it for 5 years and decided to get off it january. It's been about 4 months since my last dose and my depression and lack of energy are the worst now. I just want my energy to come back, what's the point of been clean if I can't live my life. God this takes sooo long.
Way better than that life. Think of all the added pain, dystopia, dysfunctional days you've left behind.
Eat a lot of fruit drink lots of supplements
All this while you were using drugs they seemed to mask your depression anxiety blah blah and when you stop using those things resurfaces, so it's better you seek help for depression else it's only going to get worst and it's only a matter of time you go back doing drugs.
@@asafeibba4420 that's I one way of looking at it. B8t addicts have 1 common issue and that is dealing with anxiety, boredom and depression seems overly agonizing while the rest of humanity is doing the same so they need to rehabilitate themselves and face normalcy and dealing with it like the rest of Non-Addict humanity deals with and its an uphill struggle and somewhat what's new. If they give up half way, they are back to square 1 and wernt serious on making a change.
Go get your testosterone checked im pretty sure its very low. Suboxone and other opiods lower your test get your test up and your energy will come back
I just jumped off 24 mg a day for 4 years straight off.
On day 5 right now.
It sucks but I knew what I was getting into. I also did a detox from 120 mg of methadone before this. I'd take a month of methadone or suboxone withdrawal over a days worth of heroin withdrawal restless legs.
Getting your mind on things helps the most, every other time until now I've detoxed in a medical facility where I had a roommate, no phone or tv, no freedom. In my opinion that makes it much worse than being at home where you have your phone and such.
Good video thanks very accurate.n
How are you doing now??
I've never done heroin so I can't compare it. Came off pain pills, that was pretty bad but so much faster then the subs!!
Today is Day 14 for me!! Yesterday was pretty not bad lol, not quite good, but totally bearable!! I'm hoping now im coming out the other side. My appetite is coming back, and ive been sleeping, which helped so much.
I've never been to a detox, I tried this time on my first worst day, and they told me I didn't qualify. What's it for then? Ugh.
My back has been hurting a lot the past couple days, and I'm super emotional, but it's WORLDS better then the cold sweats!! I get them brutal, cause my CNS was damaged due to being poisoned with low levels of carbon monoxide for a year and a half, talk about hell!!! The symptoms were EXACTLY the same as the worst of withdraw, except it didn't get better. That wore me down so bad!!! Imagine going through the worst withdrawal you've ever felt for a year and a half!!! If my dr. hadn't finally figured it out I don't think I'd be here today, it was bad enough death seemed so much better.
But I made it through that, and I've made it through this!!
I won't ever take anything that causes withdrawal again, unless it's life or death.
I don't think I have it in me to go through this again.
Hope you're doing well and wish you all the best!!!!
@@kristinowens899 I’m down to 2 MG and feeling it I’m debating if I jump from here will I be able to make it through work. The dose I’m on now makes me sweat horrible at work and my muscles and joints are stiff and depression
@@dr.keegan5303 taper down to 0.3 mgs or lower.
I call bullshit
@@kimmysplayhouse that’s awesome definitely gives me hope
After one week off the subs you should start to feel better
@@jakenotjacob1101 it takes about 30 days to REALLY feel better...but the withdrawal seems to linger for awhile. It may take 6months to be 100 percent
Fuck dood. I’m on one strip. And I’m trying to get off
Weed helps me a bit.
@@Kushguy10121 I went down to half a strip(4mg) then jumped off. It’s not easy but so worth it. I was on suboxone a long time(15+years then buprenex before that) and wanted to get off real bad
I’m on day 7 still sick
Ok so you sound very much like me. Ive been on maintenance in the past, been through it all. Now ive been taking suboxone for about a month and a half now, 8 was the max but now I'm at about 5 mgs, i just do not want to let this go further anymore. What would your outlook on my situation be? I usually don't ask this but, what would you do?
Love your honesty . So so true every word that was said here . God bless and hope your still fighting the fight
Hang in there brother. I’m on suboxone and have anxiety. I dread getting off this shit. Good job
Keep in mind, YOUR symptoms aren't THE symptoms. Everyone is different.
2 weeks going cold turkey and its been a living hell but well worth it. I need to feel normal again. No going back
Keep going. I got off subs twice back when I was younger. But my life came crashing down and instead of picking up the needle again I got back on subs. I have been on them for 14 years now. I cold turkey was taking 16mg or more a day for all those years. I’m on day 18 and at day 15 it changed. I only have some chills a little, sneezing up a storm, insomnia and that’s about it. If I can do it anyone can, I was a drug addict for over half my life I am 37 about to be 38. It was time to get done with it all. Keep going buddy you got this. We got this
@@GamerDAD1213 Wow thank you for your story and sharing it. This is why I like to talk to others on this platform because we all understand the path we put ourselves through...my addiction started with my doctor prescribing Percocet after having my son from a C-section...then I had another operation for a hip replacement and was given morphine soon enough I was buying $100 a day worth of pills everyday till I said this isn't living. The pills wouldn't even get me high anymore. So I told my doctor and he fucking put me on Suboxone 🤦 I stood doing that for 6 miserable yrs . I say miserable because I hated the fact that I needed to take this garbage everyday In order to function. If I didn't take in time I would start having withdrawal symptoms. I finally decided to end my pain and misery a month ago when I jumped of from 4 milligrams to 1 milligram and it was literally hell. I feel a lot better a month later but the insomnia and sleep deprivation and no energy is excruciating...when does it go away?
@@GamerDAD1213 your comment really helped me and i see it was recent too.im about to go to rehab here in texas for suboxone.was on H for about 13 years with some clean time here and there.mostly jail prison and rehab stents. been away from all the street drugs for over 3 years now and my baby momma took off with my one year old son after a meth relapse.i hired a lawyer and shes on the run with child endangerment charges.anyways ive done this multiple times before and i have no clue why im so terrified this time.im supposed to leave for rehab sometime at the end of next week and ive tapered down from 16 mg to 8 mg.hoping they will work with me at the rehab program.hope your clean brother and thanks for adding your comment.im 35 and i can remember feeling much better between days 20 and 30.i have too much to do as a father and home owner than to drag this out tapering for 6 months to 2 years.not to mention my insurance could stop at any time now.im just ready to find myself again and be happy.i miss getting out and seeing friends or sitting on my porch and enjoying a beer in the late evening.i havent done ANY of those things in yearsss...ive let all my friends go with ease and just sat in my house alone depressed for over 6 months now.i am very scared but its time to find the courage to get this done and find me a job before i lose everything including my house! wish me luck!
In Ontario Canada . Methadone clinic and sub is at the same clinic. They Do Not Care about getting you off of it EVER here. Ten years has flown by and Im still on it . How long were u on it ???
Best breakdown I’ve heard, legs feeling restless feels like you want them amputated lol
I can deal with all the systoms just can't handle the no sleep an rest leg. Those two is the worst
I've done it twice and this is accurate. Pot heIps.
Well i can help them with all those horrible symptoms you just said and it will take 90% of them all away.
It's called kratom.
If u have a life and u cant be sick af for a month straight just take kratom and try to take the lowest does that will work for you that way when u stop kratom you will be fine like I was!
I literally just quit a 20yr heavy opiate addiction and 5yrs suboxone program only because of kratom!
Glad you're doing well, congrats on the promotion.
On day 10 today. Just lack of energy, shivers rarely anymore, yawning and a lot of sneezing.
Eating lots, drinking lots. Working out helps too
I can make a single 8mg strip last over a week. Even at such a small dose I'm having an extremely hard time quitting cold-turkey. During the past month since being on this dosage I've had a hard time concentrating and being motivated. Will these symptoms go away? Should I continue trying to cut back from less than 1mg a day? Or just suck it up? Thanks for any help.
I’m in the exact same boat as you. 1mg a day
@@matthew1676 Do you feel any symptoms? My stomach is always in knots every morning. I never feel motivated to do anything (even things I once enjoyed greatly). Also my body aches a lot. I'm having trouble figuring out what it caused by suboxone or what might just be effects of getting old. I started doing opiates at 20 and I'm 36 now. Been on suboxone for over 8 years. I'm very concerned about side-effects and my age catching up with me.
@@matthew1676 me too, im on 1 mg a day for 2 weeks then my doctor want me to cut that down to 1/4th for the remainder of the month. Then he says I'll be fine. How are you doing know? Just wondering keep up the great work!!
For me, it's the insomnia, RLS, sweats, and feeling restless, feeling cold, and slight headaches
How you doing now
What got me thru the 1st time was a ton of Imodium like a whole pack a day... Some pot (edibles when i would smoke i would gag then puke) try not to sleep the whole time (because u wont) so try small tasks like walk to the store and drink a ton of water... I been on suboxone for 3 years 16mg and im down to 4mg planning on cutting those in half and then making my next prescription 2mg then gonna grab my nuts and go for it again... Goodluck to yall going thru this!! It does get better (i know it feels like it's gonna go on forever)
Omg I'm tapering rn . From 12 mg to 2ish . I've been on this for 15 yrs and dr said it effects my heart .

I just want it outta my life and be free by September. I want to be 40 and FREE
@@ginapearce5421 you'll get thru it! I know it sucks and it feels hopeless but remember its just temporary and what helped me was sitting outside in the sun and taking nice long hot baths and drinking a ton of water... You'll feel way better after a week and it gets easier from there
Yea on the dog part mine's not leaving my side lol. I love that fuckin description lmfao i needed tht seriously
Im doing this now iv tappered down to 0.8mg im on day 4 i think tmrw might be better. ive done this a few times now and wouldnt want to jump off from more than 1mg . Ive took a week off work stayed in the house watching tv no stress worst thing is stomach churning and anxiety but think like said day 5 might be better tmrw . This is bearable as shity as i feel i can feel my body coming back to life
Any update?
Two weeks in after 17 years of IV sub use.
It can be fucking done cold turkey!
It really can be done. I just wrote other comment that im one month clean for 10 years of subutex intranasal use and i was taking whole 8 milligrams per day. Didnt taper. I just stopped. And one thing i want to get straight i was going work 5 days a week 8 to 10 hours per day through this month. Yeah there was days when i felt like i just cant be in my skin and those days i cried so foking much. I was just beated down on my knees. But time never stops going forward it is allways gonna be next day, and the next day. And now one month has gone by and i am still alive and i never want to go through that hell. But even that was hell especially first 2 to 3 weeks. It faded away. And this feeling what i have now ofrcourse im not 100% but no one need to be 100%. It is enough to be able to sit at the couch without pain. Get endorfings going with stretching and last night i was watching action movie and i was smiling through the movie even it was action. I just enjoyed it. With bub i was just numb shell. Now i feel things and that is the point of everything to me. To feel lige again. And it is ok to feel overwhelmed too sometimes. Or anxious. Because after that comes happiness again. We all can be done if we just dont want to be slaves anymore. I just really takes effort and lot of work by yourself. Just dont pick it up again. Remember allways why you stopped
Buprinorphine took 17 days last take till the finish bro , good too see u u look bigger u been working out , sleep loss last me two months
Me too 17 days
@@christopherkleinbach5237 I'm on day 17 now. I really hope the sleep loss doesn't last me two months.
I remember the withdrawal I had from Oxys and idk if it’s just me but this Suboxone withdrawal blows that experience out of the water..20 days off subs right now and still feel like trash.
@@kimmysplayhouse I don't know why people think they can taper off subs over days or a few weeks after a years long opioid addiction.
Hope your better now . I'm about to start. I think some SSRIs or something might help.
I took suboxone prescribed for four years and I tapered down for a month before taking my last little square I’m on day seven right now!
Could you tell me how you have been feeling? Any better on day 7?
Thank you for this, it’s day 3 for me. Cold turkey.
Pramipexole can help with restless legs, Kratom can take 9/10 of the symptoms away also
I want to say everyone in here. I AM NOW 1 MONTH CLEAN! i used 10 years straight 8mg everyday and i didnt see light or life before this last week. It has been hardest month of my life ans first 3 weeks just needed to suck it up. But after a month i can say hand on my heart that just keep going because it gets better! I never want to use again and i was a fuuuuking chronic relapser. I didnt even think im going to stop. I just didnt want anymore i was sick just because of subs too. I was hollow of myself than before subs. Didnt feel nothing nut emptiness and i think that was catapult for me to get clean. Now that i am one month clean today it is miracle. I just jumped off straight of 8mgs per day. I was sick as f*ck but i made it❤❤❤
I’m on day 6 no subs. Was on Fentanyl for two years and quit 3 times with subs. First time I microdosed, second time I waited for the half-life in detox and that was the worst, then the last time I microdosed then quit the Fen, took 8mg in the am and evening, then after 3 days of that, I quit taking it on my last 8mg dose on a Thursday at 0200. I haven’t had a strip since then and it’s now day 6 days and the next Wednesday. Honestly today, is somewhat low energy, mild restless legs last night, but I did sleep. Seems like days 1-5 were easier than today, day 6, but not that bad. I just wish it would fully reside. My anxiety is pretty bad, and my craving for subs is worse than the Fen, but for sure manageable. I’m done. Totally done. That’s my 6 day timeline.
My new favorite UA-camr ❤😂
Suboxone sucks. I’m full of regret like usual…
Aniexty sleeping sneezing fatigue day 15 3 hot showers a day. I just keep telling myself I’m a soldier on a mission and must finish my finish. The depression was insane and I suffered from that already crying curled up in a ball in the shower on the floor insane depression actually scared me a lot
Going thru that now reading ur comment tears in my eyes so tired literally want to give up right now n only on day 5
Hope ur doing ok
I’ve just made the switch from Methadone to Suboxone in the hopes of getting completely clean within about a year. This video certainly gives me hope. Since I haven’t used in approx 2 years I feel like I’m ready to come off everything. I can put up with pain and withdrawal to a certain extent and it’s less severe than a heroin kick that makes me hopeful 😊
Dude please get off the suboxone within 3 months it’s bad it lasts forever
How are you doing now?
@@scoopskipotatoes1631 hey mate
Currently still on 2ml of suboxone a day. Looking at dropping to one 1ml soon and mid year taking leave from work and coming off it. Currently saving up sick leave. I still haven’t used so I’m doing well.
I started out 16 mg five years ago. Bumped down to 2 mg I’m on day 8th detox wish me luck y’all and all the best from me to you. Keep your heads up.
Wow. I actually OD on my first 8mg dose. Dr guesstimated. I Vomited and was loopy for 3-4 hours afterward. The magic dose is 1mg. If your ok then tapering is do able. For most people.
Can you describe your 2mg a day withdrawals. That's roughly where I'm at and am curious if I should go lower.
@@Kyle-xw7uu following your comment my man. I can get away with 1mg-.5 a day. I just wanna stop now. Not gonna take any today. Let’s see how it goes…
@@JarvisGems so I've recently dropped to 1mg every other day. I get them from the street so I went like a week without recently with minimal w/d's that was at 1.5-2mg a day. Hope this helps people gain the courage to get off subs. They are honestly worse than dope on your liver/kidneys.
Edit. Only get off sub if you have solid support and/or good hobbies/established job. The point is its hard even if you're down to low dose daily due to mental aspect. And having something to occupy you and your time is paramount. A good AA community in your area can also help greatly.
This isn't a popular statement, but Marijuana helped me immensely with my taper, but that was alway my drug of choice.
what dose were you coming off of when you did this? im currently on a taper. currently taking 4mg twice a day. was planning dropping to 2mg twice a day next week and be on that for 2 or 3weeks. would 2mg twice a day be good dose to go cold turkey on? or should i go lower to 2mg once a day?
also: is cannabis a good comfort med?
Taper down as low as you can. I started at 8mg a day and slowly tapered down to 0.5 mg a day (dr advised to go down to 0.25 but I couldn’t do that lol). Basically just split your daily dose in half every 2 weeks to a month. You will be uncomfortable for a few days after lowering your dose but you will adjust fairly quickly. This will make stopping completely easier in the end.
The more you can taper down before stopping, the easier your withdrawals will be. Marijuana provides some comfort during withdrawals, but doesn’t work great imo. I’m am a daily smoker though, with or without subs, so it could be more effective if you don’t smoke a lot. Edibles are more helpful imo but be careful with your dosage.
I'm day 7 off subutex 16mg. I feel sooo bad. My legs and arms feels like they are twisting off. I have everything you named. I haven't played with my kids. Tonight's been the worst.
Hang in there darlin
For me the anxiety is the worst.
Magnesium citrate tablets for the restless legs . It helps alot!!!!
I got promoted and couldn’t take off work to go to Dr.. now I’m in the thick of it !
How long were you on suboxone? And what mg were you on? Did you quit cold Turkey? I am on it for pain management for fibro, I am on 10 mg, I have been on it for 11 months, I want to get off of it, I am so scared. I have never even tried a drug in my life. Please advise.
@@jakenotjacob1101 Ughhh. Thank you for replying. I'm so scared. They started me on 24 mg last Jan, I never took that much, I averaged about 16mg a day or so. Then I weaned myself to 12, straight to 8. After 2 weeks I felt the withdrawal affects of going from 12 to 8 so I bumped back up to 10 mgs, I cut my last 4 mg in 1/2 . I don't know how to explain to my Dr that I am on 10 mgs a day. I am scared they will kick me from the practice for adjusting my medication on my own. Last month I told her I was trying 2 4 mg's a day instead of 3 4 mg's a day, she said let me know what you decide. I thought I was doing fine on the 2 4 mg's a day, until a week or so later I started to feel sick. I went to urgent care they weren't sure what to do, she suggested to add a little more medicine. I didn't want to go back up to the full 4 mg, so I have been cutting it in half to 2 mg's. So now, I take 4 mg's in the morning 4 mg in the afternoon and 2 mg at night, but I don't know how to explain that to my Dr without feeling like I am going to get in trouble. I thought I was doing the right thing by decreasing my dose. I'm so stressed out.
Man slow down slowly max you can you have to do it to be have free life I’m in 3 day now I stopped now but I’m not going back again
@@jakenotjacob1101 This was exactly what I've been searching for. I have an opiate habit that's been years in the making. After reading horror stories I don't want to be on suboxone long term. I've tried cold turkey many times with no success but I can get some sub strips and was wondering if anyone ever used it JUST to get through withdrawals and if so how did that work out? Can you explain? How much did you take and lower over that week? Was just a week you used it if I read that right correct? And did you still experience withdrawal symptoms when you stopped it? Was it worth using it?
@@axloz6494 taper to 2mg then take kratom for a month. U rather detox off kratom. Suboxone withdrawal Wil be brutal for u since u feel withdrawals at 8mg.i only felt withdrawals at 1mg

God bless you brother 🙌🏼
Bro I love love how straightforward you are.
How are you doing today?
Work your way down to 2mg suboxone. Then take gabapentine.
Months and a year or more of paws if taken for years ( possibly). It’s very doable it just sucks, best bet is don’t ever take opiates even if your bones are broken
So the acute withdrawal lasts a week. You seem like a good dude.
@Carlee Gana I’ll get you
Worst boyfriend ever. You don’t respect her privacy.
I got 100s of subs extra from taking half my dose over the years and dropped to 2mg recently i feel great

I'm gonna let you all know from personal experience. If your here because your kicking. Get it done. Long term Suboxone use is messing up your heart and cardiovascular big time. Those of us that survived and didn't overdose are being killed off with Suboxone. Best of luck 🤞
I'm on day 4 and my body is horrible my mind is worse I'm having such depressive thoughts that's the worse I keep crying
I’ve just got to day 7 , I swear there was 1 night when I’d have used a gun if I’d had one.The despair is horrible, & the agitation at night, it is starting to improve ever so slightly now. I know what you mean about the crying! I couldn’t stop for the first 3 days, I’ve been on this crap for 15;years, no going back now. Stay strong my friend, we can do thisxx
You can do this
@@Peaceshiet812 how are ya a yr out now? Did the physical (acute) part subside after day 7?
What mg were you taking when you stopped completely?
I'm at .5mg
Hey bud, Ive sworn my life changes because of saboxone a half to one a day. I was homeless, completely strung out. Being"clean" was immpossible to me. I mean never gonna happen. Bad relapse after another, likebrighr off the greyhound from rehab. But the daybi took saboxone, irbwas like cured. So what doni do if my life still improves day after day 3 years into it.
My anxiety is thru the roof! It’s a rollercoaster ride. Been on subs for 6 years
My med insurance just lapsed, this Tuesday i was suppose to get a sub injection. Looks like im going to have to go into withdrawals soon or later, have only 1 4mg sub stip left. Just wondering how long will it take after my last strip will the withdrawals start? I just plan on nabbing some Kratom.
I’m quitting subs again for the millionth time, this time I’m in a semi truck 2000 miles from home. I didn’t bring enough meds to last so there’s no taper, there’s no sleep, only 14 hours days, there’s no bathroom to crap in just a plastic bag. This is hell but maybe it’s what I need to quit for good. I don’t know how I’m gonna get through this but I will not let it beat me
For anyone wondering I went home and relapsed immediately now I’m repeating the cycle. F*ck yeah bois #diarrheagang
Thank you, Jake
Some of us need to hear your thoughts on this and I thank you very much!
You have given me hope as all I read is negative about withdrawals from subtex or however you say it...I use patches for pain but same ingredient...I'm always told it can't be done...I do not want to hear that.
I am presently in the process of dropping my dose and am now on 25mg from 40mg...lol high? yes I know and Im literally petrified scared out of my brain as would be expected but I've done it before.
I came here to listen to exactly the topic...how long it may last and how bad will I feel...I know it's different for everyone ...I get that
So please don't stop the videos...just delete and move on, I get how frustrating it must be tho
I don't know what happened in your Benzo video, but man that was a hard one although in a totally different way especially as you say ...if you suffer from anxiety
Thank you again Stacey in Australia
@@jakenotjacob1101
I may have as I've been watching quite a few of your videos
I'm enjoying them as there are not many ex-addicts to give advice to users or ex-users
I just don't want you to think that you and your sister are not appreciated.
I can't find any information about Buep withdrawals for instance.
Anyone on subs right now who can’t afford to miss work or pause life to go through full withdrawal. Wean yourself down to as low a dose as possible. Get down to the 2mg strips and keep going down. Half, quarter, eighth of a 2mg strip (0.25mg) then start throwing in two days a week of nothing, like Tuesday/Friday every week. After a couple weeks switch to alternating every other day between 0.25mg and nothing… etc. get a recovery/support system while you’re doing this, try to eat better and get exercise too when on the low dose. It’s tough and shitty but it is possible.
I’m starting day one with a 9 year addiction please pray for me and wish me luck
I feel your pain, thanks for the info. I did a lot of research, on what to take to help with the detox. Stay away from sweets high starch foods, take good vitamins, amino acids, broccoli and other healthy greens. High protein meats helps as well. The detox sucked the restless legs was the worst, and not being able to sleep.
Suboxone screwed me up harder than the heroin I was addicted to. I never hear other people have the same experience as mine. I must have been too light of a user because I never injected, just smoked heroin.
I was given four 1mg doses for the first day. I was even debating with the doctor, thinking it was too little. By the time I took my second dose (of 1mg), it screwed me up so hard. I had weird dreams, and I was so screwed up the next day, that I couldn't even drive back to the doctor's office. I ended up having to quit cold turkey and it was hell, but looking back I'm pretty glad it didn't work for me, because I wouldn't want to have to withdraw from another opiate.
I'm detoxing off subs right now. I'm repeatedly sneezing while watching this. Lol
@@jakenotjacob1101 I've gotten off Oxys, Methadone, Dilodid, Morphine, Heroin, literally everything you can think of. I've been on suboxone for almost 9 years now, which was a huge mistake, but I tapered down to literally .2 of a milligram and I still feel like shit. Never again. I have been dreading this for 9 years.
@@jakenotjacob1101 I also quit smoking weed and cigs recently and the cigs were some of the worst. I never had panic attacks like that with anything and it lasted 5 months. So I should be able to deal with this.
Good luck to u. I've been on and off subs for 11 years
Cheers for distinguishing between Subutex & Suboxone.👍. Let alone the "everything feels cold" etc
I'm always hot. I've been freezing. Usually my husband turns the ac off now I'm cutting it off and he is turning it on. I'm day 7 off 16mg. I was dumb for taking this. I'll take my pain over the and day. I am miserable. Wanna be by myself but get in my feelings when I am. Can't play with my kids. I'm over stimulated so I stay in a room by myself. I know my husband has been doing a lot and misses me but truly we probably fight bc how I'm feeling. It irritated me just to hear him talk today. Then went and cried in our spare er room about how great of a man he is and how much he is doing for me and the kids and I can't stand him talking . Just not him it's the kids, tv, phone. I haven't even been on my phonem I finally looked up the withdrawals tonight and it literally have every symptom.
Hey bud, thanks for the video. A+
Thank you 👍
I dont wanna get anyone to worried about it. But it really depends how much you were on and how long. If you're on 24mg a day for 5 years and try to jump off cold turkey, it might be worse than what u got off of before you got on subs. It all strongly depends on this. I wouldn't jump off unless your down to 8mg or less in my opinion but that's up to you to decide. Yeah that's what I don't like about methadone. I here people just going up, and up, and up. I've increased my sub dose once, But once you go up you can be good for years and hopefully never have to go higher. It seems like with methadone your tolerance just keeps getting larger consistently.
hey thanks for the vid. Question. how much did u detox from? 2mg 10mg?
I am on 2 mg and having fcuk hard time
Did anybody else have a weird taste or smell early on in withdrawal or is just me?
Yeah i did at the beginning. Im like 6 months clean but i still have restless legs and diarrhea. The legs are better i can actually sleep now but the diarrhea sucks lol
Hey, do you think that the Suboxone I have will still work. They are kept in the original wrappers but they are maybe 1 mg pieces from a couple years ago that I've kept stashed away in a room temperature dark area in the original wrapper like I said but the wrapper had been opened. I was wondering on your opinion and if they will still work. They seem to still be working but I've only used a little piece additional to my other newer strips. so I cannot tell if they are really working to be honest but I'm pretty sure they are still going to work just wanted another opinion! I almost want to tomorrow take my full dose worth of that old Suboxone and see if it really does work. I'm on 2 mg Suboxone
Why is your name done with suboxone yet your stating ur still on it at 2mg doses ?
@@leahsimonetti2323 lol yeah I know it's strange but it's a motivator for me
I love the fact you have a low tolerance for bullshit!! Day 3 for me off subs and it’s doable!! Thanks for the honesty !!
I guess my tolerance was to high. Day 7 off 16 mg and I feel awful
@@Mrs.Brown88 I’ve dried off subs 3 times and it always sucks no matter what! The best way is to get down as low as possible before cold turkey but honestly it sucks no matter what.
Im trying a 2nd time. I want this so bad. so so bad. Day 3 right now. Scared for day 4. The restless legs have set in. Constant headache. Im trying to do things to keep my mind busy. Music helps a lot. Its like the music reaches my soul and makes me feel like everything will be ok. About 5 years on subs now. Was taking 8 mg daily. Doing perks before that for a few years. F***. I dont want this anymore.
I tapered off in November of 2022. I was on 8 mg films for 16 years. I got down to. 25mgs and 4 days later got insomnia. I WAS NEVER DOPESICK. get through this, I promise you won't regret it. I had no depression or anxiety. I quit smoking on Halloween😂 I'm free
ever done any dedicated body detoxing? liver cleanse? juice fast? etc
72 hours, day 3... oh yeah that's when the whole house comes crashing down!
I’ve been on 24mg of Buprenorphine/Naloxone for years now. When I try to take 1 and a half of the 12mg strips instead of the full dose (2 strips) by the end of the day my body starts to hurt bad like the flu body aches X 5 and that’s just cutting one in half. When 1/2 of the day is over the mild nausea starts to set in. I also noticed I’m a lot more agitated with my lower dose. When I have my full dose my behavior is not agitated. When I take my full dose I’m actually a very nice person. I don’t hurt I don’t feel sick and I can drive and work. I had a surgery that led me to be on both Suboxone and Oxycodone they started with Vicodin 10’s when they didn’t work anymore they went to Oxycodone 10’s. The surgery was complicated after 4-5 months my doctor was able to taper me off with no withdrawals. She had me take my full dose of Suboxone while on it as well.
Im at 105 hours or 5th day. I have been on subs for 10 years. Im having zero withdtawl symptoms. I know them well. Sleeping fine. I have clonidine and clonazepam to help, but I use them sparingly. Is this gonna kick my balls later on? Off 1-2mg a day.
Can u answer this urgently? If I did it just for or a couple days would I be going through withdrawals fataly ?
I've only been on subs for 5 days and tapered down to 2 mg on day 5 and want off, for all the stuff I read about being addicted within a week. What am I looking at here? I hate this stuff. Please advise if possible
There is a blood pressure medicine that helps for heatflashes and restless legs. They use that in treatment here in Norway. It is called Klonidin.
Jumped off at 8-6 mg just at 2 months and I jumped off cause it was having negative side effects with me, it’s not my first time but it’s always unpredictable. You think it’ll still last long ?
Dude. I really hear you on the increasing deal. I take a half a strip. Im 48 yrs old and went through 20 years of kicking in and out of jail, stealing on a daily basis, no bullshit bro. 200 to 250 a day, a quarter of dope shooting and smoking a day. Not bragging but just trying to let u know where I was at. I will swear on the bible, saboxone saved my life. So my question is...can I live normally if I taper off the shit???? I take a anti depressant and it REALLY helos too and will never go off that. But.. Ya know, off subs??
I've been taking around 2mg a day for 4 years. How long do you think it will take to feel better. I'm just looking for the light at the end of the tunnel.
My withdrawal s/sx begin after 24hrs
Do a slow taper down to .25mg a day or even lower. Lower your dose every 5-7 days. Or look into the sublocade shot. It creates it's own taper in your body.
Thanks for your videos. I'm trying to help my son. He went from meth to subutex last week. Today is day 3 of box detox.
