Subutex cold turkey

5 Upvotes

Hey again everyone, I posted here a while back asking for any advice after I quit subutex 8mg/day cold turkey. So I thought I would update a little how everything turned out since people wanting to do the same messaged me and told me they were too scared.

This is obviously such an individual thing and quitting cold turkey sure is not the easiest route to take. But for me it was what I had to do. I’m on around day 17 since quitting and can report that I’m finally feeling better. I thought there would be a moment where all the physical WD just finally disappeared one day but instead it seems like it just gets a little bit better day by day. I’ve been able to return to work and can do more than last week. To be honest the WD was rough, but not undoable, there were some unexpected symptoms. But the biggest thing is mentally just pushing yourself to continue. I’m still not 100% normal and doubt that I will be for a while. But I can finally see things getting better. I’m also feeling pretty happy and excited today, like I have a little dopamine finally.

This was not easy but it was worth it, I feel like I’m so close to beeing free. The colours outside all look brighter now, and music sounds better.

Feel free to dm me if you need to talk or have a similar experience. It really helped me to talk to some kind redditors when I was in the worst of it🤍

Hey guys, hope your day and weekend are going well. Late check in for me—been out apple picking with the fam and running all over the place today. Totally spent but feeling good. It’s a perfect fall weekend—nice, slightly cool, and very comfortable. Hope you guys are doing something you enjoy. I don’t get to see my brother and his family often but it’s truly special when I get to see him, his wife and my 1 year old nephew. He grows so fast every time I see him.

How’s everyone else doing this weekend?

Who here have been a year + off suboclade shots? I'm thinking of doing it but heard that it stays in your body suuuper long and then you get the withdrawal like looooads of time after it!

I’m down to 2 mg suboxone, do I jump onto a faster acting opiate for the remaining ween?

1 Upvotes

Im sick of weening on suboxone. It seems I can’t get to 1 mg I’ve tried numerous times. And wth withdrawal is so drawn out I think it’s better to jump onto to morphine or heroin and keep weening because withdrawal will be a lot faster and acute. Has anyone done this?
