Will i get sick coming off suboxone cold turkey I have been on them for about 1 year?

[Gigi1028]

The reason I have to go cold turkey is my bf is currently in jail, we were sharing his script. I had no idea what I was getting into. I wasn't addicted to anything really he just likes to share everything w/me. I don't know if he knew what he was getting me into and I've never dealt with a real addiction. This is horrible from what I hear. Is it true what they say? He wants me to stay here at his parents house until he gets out & that will be Dec.,12th. His parents have no money & his mother isn't fluent in English, he doesn't speak to his father, but he's offered to pay his fine just for the reason so he can return to work, no other, he says he doesn't care if they would keep him until he dies, no love loss there for sure! I'm thinking I should just go to my family so maybe I can get into some kind of program so I don't get sick. Someone please tell me what can I expect from withdrawls & how long will they last? Should I try to get into a program of some kind and where? I have no money & no insurance either. I'm afraid & lost please someone help me out w/this... Thankyou

almost every state has an state rehab program you may have to wait for a bed .

You are going to have to come clean with someone.If you are coming off of a year even at 4mgs there is going to be WD.I have never heard of someone coming out of an ER with SUB does not mean its not possible. I just have not seen it .I would  figure out whether you are ready to get off them because you want to  not because you have run out .Then see what support you can get from family if possible. it would be the best to find a sub dr of your own and have them help you taper off all the way down to under.5mg that will help so much with wd.continue to post when you can we are here to help.
