Hi and Welcome..I just want you to know this could be moved to family helping a loved one with there addiction...But some times they let it stay...Any way do you mean Subroxen....It is what the DRs use to help taper form a substance use....Is he under the care of a DR????If you come back I am sure we can help you..We do have alot of people here with this experince....So come back and let us know if he is under a Dr care and is on something for this...OK

Hi.....as much as we would love an ez way out there isent one....using the sub like this only pospones the withdrawal process he will go into withdrawals aprox 2 to 4 days after his sub stops   best bet now is to read the other posts and get what you need for the detox this can be done at home  just force the fluids and lots of hot baths will help most people will be over it in aprox 5 days  as for sleep most dont for the first 2 weeks  mabe longer if he was on a high dose  dont take anny more sub it was never desiged to be used like this.....Keep posting for support we all want to help good luck and God bless...................Gnarly

I am on day 10 and the first 5 days were absolutely awful. To sleep though I took Tylenol pm and took lots of hot baths. Ur mind will race and anxiety is awful but I read alot and watched funny movies to try and keep mind occupied. I will be praying for him and let him know it does get better and is worth it. Remember how bad this is and he will not want to go back to what put him here in first place. My prayers are with u all.
