Ah I finally made it..... I haven't posted in a bit because I was getting too anxious about what I had to do, and fearing the w/d. I just had to do it, and wait until I had some days in and was feeling better so I could post....
Day 2 was hard, but I had gone to the emerge a few days earlier and got some Tylenol #3's to help with bad symptoms.. I know some may think that is cheating but I we are all different and I used them to get off a 10 mnth suboxone habit so even if it was just the comfort of knowing I had them it worked....
Day 3 and 4 were the worst, but I got threw them...it was mostly head stuff.. It feels like I am leaving one world and I'm in a real horrible space for a few days.. even my taste buds seem to be affected.. Anyway I just got threw it..
Today day 5 is much better, and I can see recovery again.. My head is feeling more normal, I have more energy, and I am so grateful that I was able to do this..
I have been thinking of Pillguy and Readytobefree and their stories, and support helped me... Knowing they made it.. I hope you are both doing well. And I have been thinking of Pjktwenty.. how is it going... I really pray you continue with your taper..
Suboxone has it's use, but it is too easy to abuse and to become addicted to it... It is a very strange drug.. I felt that anyway.. the natural opiates like codeine and morphine seem like there are more physical w/d symptoms not pleasant by any means, but they don't cause the hebe jeebes like the suboxone does. I can't speak for heroin but I'm sure it is the same.
Anyone ocnsidering using Suboxone please be careful.. Understand it should only be used to break a serious opiate addiction, and please keep it to the lowest dose possible.. Less is more with suboxone..
Look forward to being a support again to those walking the same road....
