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?

Never heard of L-tyrosine immodium, and it is a miracle drug in a sense, but it's not a miracle for everyone. Subutex should only be for people that have been on OxyContin for more than 3 - 4 years, or methadone/heroin for that same amount of time. Subutex isn't for people on Lortab, Percocet, or short term Roxy/Oxy users. I actually quit taking the Roxy before I started taking Subutex, went through and made it through the withdrawal. 3 days after I'm normal again, my friend calls with Subutex and I figured hell, I already relapsed twice into Roxy, lets quit this cycle. So I had the Subutex and got a hold of Roxanne right after that, leaving Subutex waiting on me like a naked girl in the closet.

im on 0.8mg daily.we can get 0.4mg subutex in uk.im planning on going down to 0.1mg then skip days,then skip2 etc etc.
I feel for you mate it aint a miracle drug is it? its really good for short term detox.But ive been on  long term like you.
Have you tried l-tyrosine immodium etc?

Not so easy to get rid of this one friend with Subutex though, we've been friends since high school, always helped each other in any time of need. He's dying of chrones disease, and he's the last friend from that world that I have, I already deleted everyone else out of my phone. Thanks for the info on RLS, I'm on my way with that list to Walmart as soon as I get the strength to put clothes on.

2 mg a day starting out, in the last 2 weeks I started breaking the quarters into quarters to lessen the withdrawal, my problem was that I couldn''t go a day without it when I had it. I quit at around .2 - .5.
