Aa
I need to scream!
I have visited this forum many times in the past five years. Having been in rehab three times (due to overkill with pain meds for surgeries)the last being my family's final straw, was my wake up call. It's been almost two years and I'm tapering from my suboxone regimine. Wow. Is all I have to say. I'm down to .5 mgs a day since Tuesday. I came here for advice on how to get through the last week of my taper. I've put myself in a bad way by cheating last night and taking and extra .5 because I thought I was going out of my mind. Mind being key word. My doctor said that I have hardly no trace of suboxone in my system. The wds are in my head. Really??? I know everyone is different and react differently to tapers. I will be short and have no suboxone for a whole day before my next doctors visit. I'm already freaking out. Does anyone have any home remedies that can help? I have wiped out my Ativan supply as well so that's adding fuel to the fire. I have two young children and a husband who doesn't get it.
Hey hun you can always try posting another "question" it's just quiet right now and hopefully someone will answer you soon. I detoxed off oxycdone not the subs. But you sound like you're doing good for the past couple days. Ppl with more knowledge of the subs will be here soon.
Bump to top for ppl who have posted!!
Hang in there sweetie,it will get better. Yes my eyes fuzzy too for a long time,but keep a watch out and get them checked if worsen.

Hey can you read my posts? I haven't gotten any responses and I need someone to take to
Oh and one more thing. Is my eye sight supposed to be all fuzzy or do I just need glasses in my old age?
Oh and one more thing. I decided not to go to my last suboxone doc appt tomorrow. I know if I got he may offer two more weeks. I'm alset! I'm going to call and say tell him thanks for everything. I jumped!!!!
I want to thank all of you that posted for me. Day two with nothing. I'm very emotional. I cry over the stupidest things. My kids think I'm crazy. I can't control it. Anyways I don't feal as bad as I thought I was going to. The only thing I managed to grab was a multivitamin. I don't drive and haven't been able to convince the hubby I need to go to a gnc. He thinks I'm just fine because I'm doing laundry. Ugh so frustrating! He doesn't want to admit I had a problem and won't submit to the stereo type I might receive if it was ever said out loud "hey, that's the mother that had the drug problem" I would pull his family's last name through the mud as they own half my town. I'm doing my best to pretend I'm perfect. It's sad really. As I said before thank you to all that posted. I will keep it up. I know it's my time. I'll let you know how it's going.

and let him talk to my doctor, who explained that opiate withdrawal really *****! My doctor suggested a few things to help with symptoms. An amino acid called L-tyrosine, which is found in bananas, meat, cheese, etc. or buy at a health food store and it's what your body needs to make the "feel good" chemicals. If I could only afford one thing, it would be the L-tyrosine! I can tell a difference when I take it, then go running. Also, excercise boosts your brain to make those feel good chemicals that your body has forgotten to make because the opiate did it's job. Multivitamin, anything with potassium, magnesium, iron and zinc help with restless legs.
I will say, comparing my experience from coming off of stuff on the streets and coming off of a good taper, a lot of the symptoms are in my head! I psych myself out so much fearing the symptoms, but when I calm down, live in the moment, I realize I really don't feel as bad as I thought. My sponsor has always told me "Sometimes instead of taking one day at a time, you really have to take it one minute at a time", and when detoxing, I try to remember that. Anyone can do anything for just one minute! Keep it up, you can do this! You dropped down way lower than I did before making the jump, so I imagine you'll do just fine ;) Praying for ya, you will look back and it will all be worth it!
Here's where I get my l-tyrosine, since I saw you asked where to get some supplements. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DR28E74/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1442685153&sr=1&keywords=l-tyrosine
