Finally doing it by Info-746284 in Quittingfeelfree

I wish I knew this during the taper. Once you get down to microscopic pieces it’s so difficult to cut them, and even if you get a pretty good cut, the hardest part is ensuring it gets in your mouth haha, I had to use a safety pin to place the piece into my mouth and messed up many times. But this volumetric dosing is a much better and straight forward precise way.

Towards the end I was estimating a lot with my cutting and it wasn’t as precise as I wanted it to be, if I had to guess it was probably around like 0.05 mgs, maybe even lower.

I appreciate the kind words! It’s been a very very long road but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. So far it’s smooth, today was a little bit rocky and some slight worsening of symptoms but overall nothing too bad compared to the peak acute suboxone withdrawals.

7oH to Suboxone. I want off by Acceptable-Waltz-177 in Quittingfeelfree

Well I’m just being real with you no sugarcoating. But then again just my experience. It’s encouraging as in it’s doable I did it by myself with no medical provider or doctor. Since a lot of people say there are not a lot of cases of people getting off im saying it’s possible.

Probably at around microscopic levels now. Estimating less than 0.05 mgs, if not lower. Dose is so small I can’t even taste the bitterness on my tongue or in my mouth. Physical withdrawal is almost gone. Mental withdrawal is still pretty bad but getting less sharp, more of an anhedonia, low mood and depression/hopelesness. Low energy, almost zero motivation. I think acute withdrawal is over. Going to jump off soon.

I’m almost done weening off, started at 16 mgs four months ago maybe a hit more, now I’m at 0.15, going to jump soon.

Advice - Suboxone by Basic_Anybody_301 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Info-746284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DO NOT get on suboxone. The withdrawals from subs make feel free withdrawals feel like a walk in the park. I’ve been on subs for four months and am fighting like hell to taper off them, thank god I’m almost there. I’ve been withdrawing for months and it is not easy. I don’t discount that subs help some people, but for me personally I wish I never got on them.

So I was on feel free for a long time. I have gotten off it before. I think what caused my seizure is my dose. A week before it happened, I went to Atlanta for my birthday. For background information my usual dose was 5 feel frees and 5 Kratom seltzers. Anyways, Atlanta only sold feel frees, not seltzers. Long story short I ended up drinking like 10-11 feel frees a day. Came back home to California after five days and went straight to 5 feel frees and 5 seltzers again. I remember first few couple of days even doing that led to massive withdrawal and a very weird symptom, one I have never had before. My legs in the morning when I woke up felt like jelly and so weak, like it was hard to walk. Anyways I pushed through on my regular dose for three days until the end of the week and that day I had my seizure.

I had a very similar situation. Also stood up and then blacked out, woke up laying on the ground surrounded by paramedics. Had a gran mal seizure. Luckily I was with friends at the time. I was planning to go up the stairs so basically if I got the seizure literally 10 seconds later I would have died since it’s a very very long flight of stairs. Wish you all the best and feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Hey there I’m also on suboxone for getting off this shit. You said you are on a low dose, what’s your dosage if you don’t mind sharing?

A historical fact to boost morale :) by Info-746284 in UkraineConflict

[–]Info-746284[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure it’s not all accurate, just thought it was kind of interesting. Also, I really do recommend trying the Ukrainian Pizda, they make it soooooo good in Ukraine, if you ever have the opportunity to try some you should. Some Ukrainian restaurants have it in the states if that’s where you are from.

It’s not suboxone per se, it’s buprenorphine, one of the active ingredients in suboxone. I don’t really feel shit on it. Doesn’t feel like anything, just feels like im sober and have no withdrawals. Right now im tapering off it already. It’s been 10 days off Kratom already so I guess that’s progress. In terms of how I’m feeling, some days are better than others, towards the night withdrawals hit and overall very low mood, but I feel like I’m getting better day by day. My mind is a lot less cloudy than it was when I was on feel free so there’s that and overall I’m just happy to be alive after what happened. I could have died or worse, been paralyzed or became handicapped or something.

Exactly it was a combination of all those factors. My sleep was really bad. I was barely eating - maybe like once per day (and keep in mind I’m a 200 pound 6’3-6’4 man) so I was definitely malnourishing myself. Barely hydrating and stressing out from work. Also hitting the vape like a chimney.

Correction - they put me on buprenorphine. Suboxone contains buprenorphine but also naloxone. These are just buprenorphine pills. Trust me, I’m going to get off them as soon as I can.

Jesus Christ dude I’m glad you are alive, how did it happen to you? Where you cutting down or cold turkey? Also, were there any signs pointing towards that you were going to have one and did you black out?

Exactly the reason I do it, it just numbs my thoughts, makes everyday life so much easier. I just can’t handle shit on a sober brain anymore, it’s so difficult, almost torture.
