4 weeks off suboxone, still not right...

Dec 16 was my last dose (tapered down to .5-.25mg for a couple weeks). I still feel horrible. Today is more worse than any other. All the symptoms are present. What are everyone's experience with gabapentin? I have a bottle but am not sure if it will help or what it will help with. I've seen mixed reviews online.
I really wish this would be over. I made the giant leap, now I just want a normal life and to be happy and energetic again.
Thanks for your comments, I love this forum for advice and reading material.

Hi there, im sorry your thread got missed : )
Congratulations on almost a month off Subs, great job !!!
I dont have any exp with Gab sorry.....
Yes getting off Subs can be very deliberating, it will take you a bit to feel energized again, and a while to feel mentally ok.
4 weeks i was still laying in bed all day, big no no : )
Just take everyday as it comes, dont think too much and always give yourself due credit at what you are doing for yourself.
What a huge step you have overcome to be clean, esp coming off Subs, because the detox and early recovery is so draining on our bodies.
Well done, maybe someone will answer you on the Gabba.
Take care : )
