I think that wd experiences vary from person to person depending on 1) how long you have been using the opiates 2) type of opiates 3) how much opiates being used at the time of going CT and 4) how much opiate usage was going over the duration of using.
I've had some really bad wd and some easier ones. It's the mental part that kicks my rear every time! After care is important because this can't be done by shear will power alone, although some claim they did it alone with only support from here. More power to them.
Thanx all for your comments, yes this time I controlled myself much better than in the past so I thought that because my dosage wasn't to high the withdrawals wouldn't be....I finally talked my therapist into squeezing me in today thank The Gods
I was also on 500 mg a day oxy before I went on suboxone and I say 50mg a day habit isn't enough because before the suboxone reaches what they call the ceiling effect it is way stronger than a single dose of 50mg of oxy if that makes sense to ya a d switching from that low dose to suboxone is actually just switching to a stronger opiate
Well first of congrats. Second off don't go for the suboxone 50mg oxy a day is not near enough to merit going to suboxone specially when you are feeling ok because like other post say it is possible to feel ok a lil faster than normal and as far as getting used to it that is not possible thru my years of addiction I cannot count the times I have been in withdrawal and there is no getting used to it
Yes on day 3 my physical symptoms except that dreaded fatigue are all but gone but u know the funny part. I have been on the phone with pschatrist offices therapists even my EAP and there is no help for months....what about now they referred me to a suboxon clinic but I refuse to change one drug for another. There is no help and that is why we have this forum because it is the only help we can get
Yes it's possible. Every detox is different and sometimes you get off easy. I am doing exactly the same thing from the same amount and hoping it goes as easy as yours. I am on day 2 right now.
The lack of energy is the worst part so far.
I hate that and when we keep doing it, it just gets worse and worse.
I don't want to go through this again.
Congrats on day 3. Hope you stay strong.
Well good for you for wanting to get clean. It does get easier as the days pass. Over the last couple weeks I have learned that getting clean is the easy part...Staying clean is a whole nother ball game. And the ball is always aiming right to your face.
But You can do it...As long as you put in the work it can be done.
I tried getting clean many times and I had to hit rock bottom (like most addicts) to see what my addiction was doing to me and my loved ones. Im not really to sure what you mean by "3 day physical detox" but wd's are not easy if they were we'd all be using again. You can do this and it does get better...Trust me.
