If you can break the doses that you have left into even smaller doses and go 48 hours or lionger between the doses, that would help.  Can you get some clonidine from your doctor?  That seems to help with the jitteriness and can also help for sleep, but should not bE taken with low blood pressure. Also, please do consider a support group or aftercare like Sara suggested, it will give you people to talk to live and continue to help you work on your causes for using in the first place.

Good morning!  Made it through another night.  This morning is better, maybe she can get a little sleep and later get out in the sun and walk some.  She thinks Adderall has helped her body jerks, kind of a surprise but good to know.  She is drinking a lot of healthy drinks, carrot juice, etc. and eating foods that will help her elmination.  Instead of just lying in her room in the dark, she is trying to watch movies to distract, tire her, and maybe rest some.  She has two boys (9 & 11), and we told them that she has been having a reaction to some medication and that she will be fine.  They were just concerned about her dying.  We have told them she will get better, and we the grandparents have been keeping them most of the time.  I agree with Paulshew88, I think you need to get your family's help to keep the kids and provide some emotional support for you.

I diffently agree with rough road on this prepare your kids and tell friends and family your cacthing the flu if you can't be direct even though I always suggest getting your family involved, but if you can't tell them you have the flu. And maybe they can help with the kids a few days. Since alot of the simptoms are like the flu. Good luck we are rooting for you.

My mother has been talking on here for me because I have been in so much pain.

I am so sorry. I am 8 to 9 days out and it seems like it is getting worse and not better at times. I am not trying to scare you, but you diffently need to call the doctor on Monday or even go to the ER...but only go to the ER if you live in a big city and they have doctor's that deal with Suboxone. I was in the ER last night and they gave me Benadryl and a Tordall shot. The sooner you can see a doctor the better. I have been eating pears, and anything that would help clean out my colon.  Does anyone know how long this last? I didn't start getting body jerks until  the 7th or 8th day, and they are very major.

when was the last dose?
I personally feel this to be a sign it is time to go ct. You're going to go through this eventually unless you plan to be a slave to this drug forever. When is the right time, really? I'd say now. You may want to see if you an get valium or some type drug for the next few days to assist you relax through the WDs if you are worried about you're kids seeing you like this. Just tell them mommy has the flu. Take hot baths, and maybe follow the Thomas Recipe..??  for me I loaded up on all types of green tea, water, orange juice and drowned myself in all of them. Take some of those workout/diet pills to fight the exhaustion and workout if you can. There is something called hylands restful legs that you can get at walmart and imodium for the bathroom issues.

You can't detox from Sub after 3 years and completely escape withdrawal.  It's just not going to happen.  When did you take your last dose?
