Kicking Subutex

[solitary1]

Day 3 after a little over 7 months of Subutex use. I took a quarter of one from the beginning till the end, except for the random (time to pop a half of one) days. My stomach is twisted in a knot, RLS, sleeplessness, hot flashes, etc. When I started drugs I started with pot, then came xanax for a long time, my family knew of the xanax addiction for years because you cant stop the slur after having 2 24 oz's and 1 bar. That part of my life is history, xanax ruined my life and now that I'm off it, I'm finally getting trust back from my family, somewhat. My family is drug free, me and my sister are the outcasts. I started taking all of these because I've had manic depression and anxiety since i was 8 years old.

A year after defeating xanax, I went to live at a friends house, and since I was a user all my life, all my friends are too. I started inhaling roxycodone at this house, and I lived there for 6 months, I couldn't beat the setup I had because my long term friend was the main supply for that, so I did about 3 Roxy 30's each day for 6+ months until he got busted and showed up on the news with everything the police apprehended from him. So I kicked that, started taking the subutex to rid the withdrawal and so that I would quit taking opiates all together and have motivation/encouragement in my life because I've always been lazy, and it's not by choice, I know some of you would argue differently, but you're not me. I don't have any real support from anyone, nobody knows whats going on with me right now because I'm scared to tell my mom that i quit xanax only to pick up a nastier habbit, they will never trust me again, ever. My mom and dad are all I have, I'm 27 and I've lived a life of drugs and misery, and so did all of my friends. The conversion of having tons of drug addicted friends to having nobody at all because I want to clean up is really hard for me,

So day 3, I'm prescribed klonopin and I don't abuse it, but it is helping along with smoking extremely high potent smoke profusely and it's still painful, I'm taking the week off of work because my work requires me to be ultra nice with grade A appearance. I'm going to the doc today to be put on clonidine, I've already been exercising for the past month so I'm not quitting now, especially since it helps.

My remedy so far: klonopin, clonidine, promethazine, B complex, B12 shot from doc, multi-vitamin, high potency smoke and extremely mild drinkin, just to take the edge off. Just like everyone else, RLS is kicking me in the balls and I'm not using immodium right now. This is day 4 now.

I know what to do, but I don't. Know what I mean?

Sounds like your going great and got everything under control. I agree the herb def helped me with heroin withdrawals and made me able to eat and sleep a bit. You said you got l-lysine I think that's actually for people with herpes lol did you mean l-tyrosine? I took basically everything you took exactly and it helped a ton. Remember that exercise is crucial and will speed up the process of detoxification. Stay positive and focuses and you'll be feeling good in no time. Good luck and keep posting.

I had 3 hours of relief after taking those supplements you named, I got every single one of them. And rizboy, I went to Walmart and the only thing I saw was L-Lysine and grabbed it forgetting what it was really called while I was grabbing those supplements. (potassium, B6, magnesium, vitamin C, centrum multi-vitamin and L-Lsine, I took the Lysine anyway, one of the many things I took helped out.

wow 11 hours is simply great , solitary !!! lack of energy is common and it lingers for some time but keep on mind that the clonodine effect adds up to this lack of energy, stop taking it when you feel you don't need it.. keep fighting !!

Finally slept with no RLS for 11 hours last night! Is the worst over? Now I'm just a little cold and I move in slow motion. (lack of energy and chronic fatigue) Day 5 and things aren't so bad except for the amazing lack of energy. I had Adderall left over from college, took one and I still can't move. My mind is racing but my body doesn't want to do anything.

I'm also taking 3 IBU (motrin) 6 hours apart for back pain and the "aches and pains." I switch to tylenol at times so I don't kill my kidneys.
