How long do SUBOXONE withdrawals last?

[Sub2009]

Hi guys! hang in there, I am clean 35 days from Suboxone and still feeling no energy, murmurs, sleeplessness, anxious, dirreahea and feel depressed at night times.  The first day was hell! I felt a big snake biting me and it took one day to feel that pain and afterwards I knew I can do this and get off Suboxone.  I was on Suboxone 2mgs for 6 months and tried to taper down...  Can anyone tell me how long Suboxone withdrawals last???? im so anxious to know because I really can't wait to feel back to normal.
Thank you and God Bless all of you.

Do yall think its harder to come off of Sub than Codone? I have been using off and on for 4 years. I onlt took 5 mg at a time adn the most was 40mg a day. I get discouraged when I read 90 days until you feel normal b/c I am starting a new career soon and dont have 90 days. With that said, I sleep pretty good, wake up with energy but have no motivation to do work. I can get in a car and ride around, I can walk on treadmill but doing work just sounds like such a task. I havent taken any codone since Sat Feb 23rd and feeling good except for lack of motivation, achiness some stomach issues and ups and downs with depressiona nd happiness. Its weird one second I am happy the next I am down its like my body is trying to figure out the right amount of endorphins to release. I am truly hoping it will not take 90 days to feel normal. Regardless I have to do it so dont worry there just wanting for inforrmation.

Michelle and everyone else suffering through sub withdrawal - Please hang in there.  You have come so far with this.  I completely understand what you are going through - I am 6 months off suboxone. I took them for a little over 2 1/2 years also.  Right now Michelle, you are really feeling the effects of the mental stuff that happens to *some* of us during sub detox.  I had it bad too - depression, anxiety, feeling like your losing your mind.  Trust me:  YOUR NOT.  This has been reported by many during sub withdrawal (not all though).  I sent a note to a MedHelp friend who was helping me through my sub withdrawal (ochooked) - he isnt on much anymore but anyway my note said "OC - do you know the true meaning of insanity:  Day 21 and still covered in goosebumps and having the chills-I think Im losing my mind."  But in being on this site and talking to so many great people, I realized it was just a symptom of the withdrawal.  Its really a long detox process for many.  Please know, no matter how your mind tries to convince you otherwise, that it will get better.  I can attest to that.  6 months post suboxone and I feel better than I have in many years.  I am healthy, happy, not depressed and not anxious.  It took a LONG LONG time to feel this way and I really reached a point where I felt it would never ever get better, but I promise it does. Hang in there and stay busy.  It seems the busier and more active I was the less it effected me.  Take care and well wishes to everyone..

Do you mean hydrocodone?  oxycodone?  I've detoxed off of both, as well as Oxycontin, and for me, *in my opinion only* Suboxone was a thousand times harder to detox from.

Both I would take Lortabs, Vicodin, Percocet or Oxycodone whatever I could find. Buying off the street it was different each time. Some encouragment for me. Thanks for your opinion,.

Its a really controversial topic. From what I've gathered -used during a short detox from oxy, hydro (whatever), sub can be a great tool.  If you use a tiny amount to stave off the worst of withdrawal and then stop after a week or two, from what I have heard from others, that way can work.  For those of us who were on for an extended period of time, for maintenance, it was extremely difficult to quit.  The are definate pros and cons and everyone's experience is different.  Its a very individual choice.  If its just withdrawal your looking to avoid, then suboxone can be a slippery slope from helpful to drug of choice.  Are you still using?

Also how come I never had the runny nose, or flu like symptons? Mine were hot/cold RLS, stomach, aches, sweats, depression, no energy etc...I am just hoping that I dont still have more coming my way. As I said I took last codone on Feb 23rd since then I took 5mg Methadone the following weekend Fri?Sat Am and felt like **** Sunday and little bit of Monday. So I really havent had any Codone in a week and a half.
