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 =)

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

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!
