Suboxone withdrawls

[terri1289]

I need help. My daughter has been on suboxone since July. Every month or so she has "withdrawls" vomiting etc for several days. I think she takes about two tabs a day or less. Why the vomiting?

You are doing absolutely all that you can and she is lucky that you are around. Keep trying to get her on this site. Tell her we have a dope trivia night and maybe she could enter - - - - I have a feeling that there is a thing or two that she could still learn. But you are doing as much as a parent can do. And you are doing a great job of it....

thanks but she isn't anorexic, she is really trying to get her weight up. It's not the same time every month, just about a month or so. She does take zanax and valium, for anxiety, yes that is true, and the valium to help sleep. Most of the leg shakes etc are gone. It must be that "friends" show up and she parties too much. I can't keep her at home so she is out a lot besides school. I give her a home and am working on getting her to turn this around.

gee, lot's of comments remember... buprenorphine, less is best and if she can get off NOW that would be good...... please be advised I am a person that has been on for almost 3 years.

Did it ever occur to anyone she might be anorexic on top of al of the other stuff and is throwing up food? Just a thought,however if it is the same time everymonth there must be something else like Money at that time? friend with resources < Money at that  time? Leaving house for the noght and coming back or? Not how sub works, dont throw up on it after intial treatment ,unless, and you said she takes Xanax with it and valuium or did i read this wrong? ISnt that in itself very dangerous?

Dude, you are on the right path. You Can Do IT!!! You are being honest, and seriously getting help.  If you need help, love, support, then share with your parents. First they will help you and love you. They will probably feel guilty but talk to your psychologist about it first. I don't think they will be as disappointed but will feel guilty for not being better parents. So you need to discuss this first with your dr. so that it works out right. I am proud of you for taking responsibility, taking action, and working to resolve it. I guess you are from the midwest and since i am native ca. i think more aware of the drug culture. take your time. Baby steps. Don't overwhelm your self and create the "need" to go back to the other side. Good Luck!  If i helped you at all i would always be willing to talk you again. Keep the Faith. You Will Do IT!!!
Hugs!!!

You are right she does need to get away from her "friends". I do have a place for her to go but she is too stubborn. Thank you for your help. I know that it is a struggle for her and that there is some reason why. I know that she has the urges however i can't really help her until she can tell the truth and be honest to herself and us. I told her about this site and what i have learned but she insists that she knows herself and that she isn't using to cause the withdrawls etc. All lies. She knows it all. My biggest fear is the call that she is dead. She od once here at home and almost died, the paramedics saved her and from that she says she will never shoot up again. So she smokes it. Still denial. I am still going to try to get her on this site and read all this. She is so lucky as you that she is loved and wanted. Thank you for your prayers and I hope this thanksgiving you give thanks for your second chance and how much you are loved by your special people.
You give me hope. Thank you!
