How long till its over?
I'm on day 3 going into day 4. I have only felt nauseated, hot/cold chills and shoulder aches and excessive yawning. I've been taking prescription strength ibuprofen 600 mg daily & xanax 0.5 mg when I feel the heeby jeebies. I've been reading that day 4 is the worst so I'm not looking forward to it but I'm staying strong so I can get off this crap. It helped out at the time I needed it but its been 1 1/2 years now. I need some support please!!! Am I going to feel worse? I thought I would feel worse than this by now. I did an acupuncture session a week ago and it has cut down on the cravings 100% so I'm not wanting to take it. I'm just worried about the withdrawals bc I work at a hospital. I took some dilaudid today to see of it would help with the symptoms and it did but does that mean I will still go through subutex withdrawals??
Thank you for answering me!!! You are sooo right about masking subutex with opiates. Tomorrow is day 4 and I'm scared to death! I've been through heroin & methadone rehab and that was torture and told myself I would never do it again but here I am. I want to see the world as a beautiful picture not through intoxicated eyes plus I want to be that sober mom for my 2 boys. I want to see things clearer again and appreciate the little things in life instead of taking meds everyday so I won't get sick.
I don't have personal experience with sub, but from the many posts I've read on here, it takes more time to pass from your system than something like Vicodin as an example. All the dilaudid is going to do is prolong your detox big time. To stop opiates, you must stop opiates. The Xanax should be used sparingly or that can prolong your overall anxiety in the long run. I know how you feel, I've been there, but with a different opiate. It's going to be uncomfortable for awhile, but do your best to stay away from other drugs i just mentioned. The cleaner you are when your detox nears completion, the better off you'll be. I wish you good luck.
