Anyway. I stopped, the withdrawals were not bad, and I've been off for a year now. If you want detailed instructions on how to do what I did, go to The Suboxone Talk Zone. www.suboxforum.com. The forum there is run by a doctor who is also a recovering addict and has a practice where he treats patients with Suboxone. The forum is not full of the bs and misinformation that you'll find everywhere else on the internet. The members there are smart, kind, and supportive and we've helped a lot of people - regardless of whether you want to stay on Sub or taper off of it, you'll find support there.

I used to be a part of this forum years ago, but now it is unmoderated and is basically defunct. I suggest the other forum for a more supportive experience. ]]> http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=234&Focus=1046#Comment_1046 http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=234&Focus=1046#Comment_1046 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 00:33:03 -0400 bottlecappie
I had a few nights of insomnia, which were corrected by a few doses of ambien, and very mild withdrawal symptoms that were over within two weeks. I never even missed work, it was less incapacitating than having a cold.

People need to know that Suboxone is just a tool. You have to use the time you're on Suboxone to get your shit together. Get a recovery plan, learn to take care of yourself, start exercising and eating right, learn to meditate, learn how to handle your emotions.

Then, when you've got that handled, you SLOWLY taper off the medication. It's not rocket science.

This forum is basically defunct. The person who started it hasn't been around in ages. If you want to come to an active forum that's run by an MD who is also a recovering addict, check out:

I was on 240mg of oxcodone daily for six years prior. I would not take methadone! But the opiate detox would have cost me my carear, and i would not stand for that!
I wondered around yr two why they pissed tested us. I thought they were making sure i was in fact taking suboxone. I could not afford the price of this garbage, so i starting drinking heavy (that IS NOT an answear), while titrating (lowering the dose daily) down.I had a .24bac and was cut off. Nobody told me i could not drink while on this. The good thing is (or so i thought) is I had 1900mg on hand, with 2 refills. SO MUCH FOR THE DOC! You would think when these quacks cut you off they would cut off your refills.
Anyhow, in due time i was at 1/4mg every other day. This was not easy, but i found rigerous exercise was MY answear. I have now been free of suboxone for 30 days. But will say i became an alcoholic (go to AA now), lost a great job, and my license because of detoxing. Do not do it my way. The only way i have made it this far is to attend AA, correspond with a few at a site called http://sobrietywithoutcrutches.ning.com/, and through my faith in god. You amy not be aware of the journey you are embarking upon. It is misery to say the least! I do not sleep, spend 1/2 the day on the crapper, and will not speak to others (except my AA buds), for fear of violence on my part. I am doing it though! Titration and cold turkey is the only way. I will never take a doctor prescribed drug again. I would just a soon die. Tough words, but the truth. I wish you all my best. I only know two others who have done this, one in SC, the other in New Mex.I met those great inspirational persons on the website above. I figured, if they can do it so can i and they have provided more hope than any quack (sorry doc, i think prescribing suboxone is wrong)than anybody.

So he was rubbing it in my face for the longest time, saying i'm weak and not really clean.
Anyways, in the long run, after having this discussion with my mom, and me getting very frustrated with him, he realized how he quit using opiates(heroin), he smoked crack heavily for over a year until the cravings went away.
Since FINALLY getting this thru to him, he is MUCH more understanding... he wishes he had something like suboxone to take when he was quitting, crack was the wrong way to go.
In the long run, were both clean. I have 8 months, he's got a lot longer than me, but we have age difference.
Don't let anyone get you down! I'm sure I speak for a majority when I say that after taking suboxone and quitting opiates, we have control over our lives again, and can begin to heal the damage done, identifying triggers etc. What's important is that we ourselves feel positive and that we are moving forward. ]]> http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=231&Focus=1033#Comment_1033 http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=231&Focus=1033#Comment_1033 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 12:43:29 -0400 Toybox3586 Does anyone else experience this? Is it normal to feel this way. Its almost like the medication is making me sick at first until the buprenorphine kicks in. I let it dissolve for 15-20 minutes.
Anyone have any advice??? The doctor seems to think it's all in my head.. which maybe true, but it doesn't feel like it. :/ ]]> http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=103&Focus=1032#Comment_1032 http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=103&Focus=1032#Comment_1032 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 07:16:50 -0400 allisonc I had the sweats, goosebumps, runny nose, and muscle pain. it took my so long to pee (under pressure) that i didn't get a tab until 27 hrs in w/drawls. i felt well after the second dose of 8mg sublingually. problems are, i am sweating uncontrollably day or night. i had to change my clother x2 in the middle of the night they were so soaked. However, that's really only the 1 s/e i've had except adjusting to not getting that high q2hrs. so far, so good...and so far...yes..i would consider this a miracle drug. i don't know when i should start tapering because the doc has me on 8mg 3x/day and cut them in half if needed....taking only 2/day. too scared to jump down right now though. ]]> http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=230&Focus=1031#Comment_1031 http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=230&Focus=1031#Comment_1031 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 01:23:36 -0400 zo http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=229&Focus=1030#Comment_1030 http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=229&Focus=1030#Comment_1030 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:34:24 -0400 kariandanthony http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=229&Focus=1029#Comment_1029 http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=229&Focus=1029#Comment_1029 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:09:49 -0400 kariandanthony http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=51&Focus=1028#Comment_1028 http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=51&Focus=1028#Comment_1028 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 21:55:17 -0400 themostunclean
I've tried pretty much every method above and have found this to work best.

- Wet your whistle. Water, water, water. Swish it all around your mouth!
- Break your dose into several smaller pieces. Easier depending on how much your dose is. Mine is 2mg so it usually works out to 3-4 tiny pieces.
- Suck a tiny bit of water between your lips and get it under your tongue with the sub.
- Mix it all up with the tip of your tongue. Add more water if needed.

This should dissolve everything in a matter of minutes even with larger doses. If your touch the liquid/sludge with the tip of your tongue and you get that intense bitter "bite" don't spit or swallow. Just because it's dissolved from being a pill does not mean it's broken down completely and you are probably wasting vast amounts of a very expensive medication (I'll take it if you aren't using it!). If it's not more water than bitter, there is definitely more in there.

For the record, I swallow. Not for the fear of wasting, it's just how I do. The only times I experience headaches are when I swallow too early by mistake. So for those swallowers who get headaches, your probably not dissolving completely. ]]> http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=51&Focus=1027#Comment_1027 http://www.suboxone-doctor.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=51&Focus=1027#Comment_1027 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 01:23:53 -0400 Tommister

I'm on 3mg/day now and want to quit. The problem I've had with quitting in the past is insomnia, apathy, lack of motivation, and muscle pain for more than 2 weeks after I stop. I'm wondering how long I can expect until I feel "normal" after tapering down and quitting.

I also have chronic back pain, but no longer want to take narcotics to control it. God, my original post was SOOOO much better.
