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.

Take Vitamin B - all forms B12, B6, and eat a high protein diet.  Drink plenty of fluids!  Trust me it helps!!!  Also use Chamomile Tea at night.  It will help you rest.

i also wanted to add while my mind is still racing that we really have no idea how bad this stuff takes over the way our brains function and control our bodies until you stop taking it. i, like other people here am still having sneezing fits 18 days later and I'm sure it will continue for months. why? i wasn't snorting and never snorted suboxone so wtf!? i have googled "reasons to stop taking suboxone" and never found any positive reasons aside from the obvious about why you should quit so i just wanted to list some of the positives from my personal experience. i have tasted food better than before, i guess it was messing with my sense of taste and smell. i was on it for 2 years. thats entirely too long. i have laughed a lot more than while taking subs. now I'm still depressed but i think that is because i haven't slept more than an hour each night. I'm hoping that subsides soon because its driving me insane. even though I'm not sleeping, I'm still not wanting to nod off while driving like i did when taking suboxone, so that is a huge plus as i drive for a living. i also feel like i love my dog more, which i didn't think was possible. not my wife, even though she's been supportive as hell, I'm still cranky around her since I'm not sleeping. but anyway you get the idea, I'm rambling. there are many good reasons to quit and stay off for good. i had to drive an hr to the suboxone dr, lots of wasted time and money. so stupid, so stupid. but suboxone did stop me from taking anything else for 2 years so for that it worked. its good to hear from everyone here, both people with more and less time under their belts. its helped a lot. but don't go getting yourself worked up over other people's experiences if you have less time under your belt because as you know everyones body is different. yours may heal twice as fast. i feel like my insomnia is worse than a lot of other stories I've read, unfortunately for me! but I was a hard sleeper to begin with

hi all, 18 days here. still not right, not sleeping more than an hour a night. i took 2 weeks off of work to sweat it out and things have been much better since i went back to work to get my mind off of it. i was really dreading going back to work cause of my low energy level and i work outside and its 11 degrees F where i live so that stinks but regardless, going back to work was the best thing for me. 2 weeks was long enough to sit around and feel sorry for myself and cry and think about why its worth getting clean. good luck. it aint easy, not gonna lie, but it is doable. actually ill be honest the withdrawals aren't bad, but the insomnia, at least for me, is a B with a capital B.

Oh my gosh. - I'm glad you guys are here but you are bumming me out:( I just started detox and today is only day 2 - I was hoping for just a few days like this.  Looks like this will be worse than the Vicodin. Wish I never went on this stuff.

I am happy I read your post today!  I am 17 days in and Its not getting better!  I feel exactly everything you are feeling, and I too am fighting this demon!  I too know it will get better and I too just want to know when this will go away!!  I have to go to work like this and I have a super stressful job and one that is super active!  It has been very difficult to focus without wanting to go completely out of my mind!  I never got up so early In all my life lol my job doesn't require mornings!  I am up around 5:30 or 6 now.  I wake up so ridden with anxiety and chills and constantly blow on my palms and fan my pits!  Just knowing there are others out there like me eases my pain!  I was so nervous thinking that someone keeps slipping me opioids and causing me to keep withdrawling lol I just didn't want to believe it would take this long!!  Stay Sane!  We Got this!

No doubt that suboxone is harder to come off of.  It is wicked in the way that it has effected my digestive system with lots of nausea and diahrea. I have been disappointed. Even though I felt better on subs, if I would have known how long it took to get off of suboxone, I would have preferred detoxing off of opiods and not opted for subs. So if you are considering subs, don't do it.
