Day 4 off Suboxones

[Juddy808]

Today is day 4 for being completely off suboxone and i gotta tell ya feel horrible. Every minute feels like an eternity. And forget trying to sleep, its just not happening for me right now. I don't know what to do, this feels like its never gonna end. HELP!

I too was four days off suboxone at a treatment facility.  They had put me on the detox suboxone program and exactly four days later all hell broke loose.  The was I felt was total devestation mentally and physically.  I was able to order suboxone maintenance which has been a lifesaver.  The point of my comment is that four days after suboxone is the day that you and I experienced.  That is and will be the day for all hell to break.  See about getting on suboxone maintence.  I would have done anything for my DOC had the suboxone maintence not been presented to me.

Best of luck to you.

Thanx for the support you guys, it does mean alot. My DOC was Oxycontin's, i was doing them for 6 yrs but i've been on suboxones for the last 6 months. And i weened myself down over the past 4 weeks. The last couple of days i took litterally just crumbs of the pill. And the hot showers do help alot, its the only time i feel half-way normal. Its only a lil past noon and i've taken 2 already,lol. I'm glad i have some time off from work, cause i don't think i could make it through the day. I would like to go for a walk but it is pouring here today,bummer! But again, thanx for the support!

It will end.  You just have to wait it out.  Do not ever ever think it will never end ..  no matter how bad you feel, always KNOW that it will get better.  In the meantime - try to do anything you can do to take your mind off of it.  Lesa is soo right, sometimes no matter what you do, it all comes down to counting those minutes --even seconds!  Take as many hot baths or showers as you can.  I mean if your hot water supply is good, then dont be afraid to spend hours in a hot shower or bath.  Walking is a good idea.  As sick as I was coming off subs, I went for a 30 minute walk every day.. it was all I could do just to drag myself off the couch but your body goes into autopilot and you can do it.  This helps just to take your mind off your misery if nothing else.  Sleep will come in time.  Remember this wont kill you.  Just dig deep and find some strength.  Keep posting too.. it helps to talk to people who have been where you are, lots of people right there with you.  Good luck.

I have never taken sub. the worst I have wd off is Heroin.. I hear it is a b!tch.. hang in there.. You jumped for a reason.. more will be on that know right where you are at.. I do know it takes courage and strength for you to do this and some very good reasons.. sometimes it is one minute at a time and keep in mind it does not last forever... be kind to yourself.. Try to move if even walking the house or yard this will help.. force yourself if you must.. this I found to be most helpful for mind and body.. Stay Hydrated You can do this..I wish you well.. lesa
