WOO that's it! it's all attitude =D honestly it didn't take me no more than 30 minutes to fall asleep but I'm sure everyone's different, i used melatonin for sleep and Hylands restful legs to combat the RLS which is by far the worst physical sympton i think.. it's just ANNOYING! but i'd say the Hylands is a must it works so well for it oh and for a plus it comes in sublingual form so It kinda had a placebo effect i just pretended it was my sub dose =)
Im ready for anything, this time Im going to make it. I know there will be tough times and good times. And being able to converse with my new addict buddies,lol,lol, I'll make it!!!
By the way how was the sleeping!!!
awesome plan man!
and doghound is so right about the 3 day thing (for me it was kind of day 2ish)
it's NOTHING like CT from oxy or an equivalent, it's not even comparable, it was almost like the WDs had a plateau day 2-3-4 stayed about the exact same with no worsening effects so i guess onthe end of day 2 I had a piece of mind on what I was in for, unlike opiates where your flippin out about tomorrow knowing it's going to be even worse than the way you feel at that moment.
I mean it wasn't all roses, i had some ups and downs, but when that depressed feeling came "I don't think I can do this" I just told myself "20 minutes that's all this will last and It'll be back to bearable" and it always did get better! bupe seems like such a mind game but you can do it and than you never have to do it again =) i sure don't want to!
shoot a message to HenryS354 (also detoxed from sub over a year ago) he helped me through it a TON and I owe him alot! He knows ALOT about bupe and is a much better writer, unlike me if you can't already tell english isn't my greatest subject haha

You guys have really been a big help, its been tough on my wife and kids these last few years and Im no spring chicken at the age of 54!! Ive done drugs off and on from the early 70's til now!! But back then I never got addicted to anything from coke to downers, but oxys were the exception and suboxone too!! again I''ll be talking with you guys and keep ya updated!!!!!!!!!
you made my day,thanks for the info,this friday will be the last time I take suboxone,until then I will drop to an 1/8th a day and then do it! and keep posting and talking with you !!!!!
heyy i'm on day 8 of no sub and I must say the WDs for me were not bad at alllll, nothing like I thought it would be! It was soo much mental and hardly any physical symptoms. days 2 and 3 were the worst but bearable I was still able to work and stay busy. Right now I'm feeling great and have been for the past 2 days so I guess they were over by day 6?
I had been taking sub for 6-8 months, tapered and I jumped at .25 (after 5 days at that) did the thomas recipe (minus the benzos) and stayed as hydrated as possible with gatorade, and just kept posting on MH, i believe all that helped so much. before the subs I was taking atleast 3 oxy 80's a day if I couldn't get my hands on more. This was just my experience quitting and was nothing at all comparable to the horror storries I read and freaked myself out with before I did!
I think you can do it!
