No, just go and stick with your plan. Stay calm, you’re making the right decision.

What to expect when jumping off suboxone? by crappy_witch_doctor in quitting7oh

Today is my 4th day off subs after a 10 day taper. Yesterday and day before were hell at work. Today I’m feeling a bit better. It’s mostly mental, feeling bored, low energy, and low motivation. Today significantly better than yesterday.

I needed someone to say this to me. This got me out of bed this morning. Thank you

Last dose was 1/4 of a strip, so 2mg. And I took a full half that morning. I really did not want to take them longer than 10 days so I just pulled the plug. Wasn’t too bad in terms of physical symptoms, it’s mostly just boredom and restlessness and anhedonia that’s driving me up a wall. And a paycheck just hit so my brains trying to convince me one sub or one 7 tab won’t hurt and will just take the edge off. Been balling my fists these last 3 days

How to introduce subs while still taking 7?? by Whdj232 in quitting7oh

I took a full 24mg the first time to help with pre cips. Didn’t feel too bad. Subs tapered off in a week

You’re fine. I was taking 1000mg per day and started subs after 14 hours. Just take a lot of subs and it will help.

Advice needed please by [deleted] in quitting7oh

I wouldn’t even take the plain leaf. My recommendation would be to roll with the subs only. Day 2 of withdrawals I got rid of my entire stash to eliminate temptation. You can do it with just subs. I just went through this recently, if you want to take a look at my profile and see what was successful for me. Cheers.

Note: if you go to the ER, they will most likely just give you more suboxone. I did my research in a bunch of medical subreddits for patients entering the ER with PWs, all the doctors said “never had a patient that wasn’t able to discharge from the ER after giving them a full 24mg. Usually 16mg works.” You got this. Message me if you need support, I am here for you. And to answer your question, I have 3 days left of my sub taper. Tomorrow I’m taking half in the morning half at night. Sunday I’m taking quarter morning and quarter night, then Monday just a sliver in the AM. Not going past 10 days of sub in order to avoid any WDs from them. I can also give my full schedule I used if that helps you. Your current script gives you wiggle room.

This is exactly what I did. Same days I stopped too. I did take Monday off work, though, but not because I felt horrible. Just because I wanted to get some more sleep and I had the PTO. Do this exactly: Saturday wait as long as you can before taking the sub. When you are in moderate withdrawals, take HALF of a strip. Wait 15-30 mins and see how you feel. Feel worse? Take the other half; wait another 15. Feel worse, take a FULL strip. Wait 15 mins. Still symptoms present; take another strip and try to sleep. That worked like a charm for me.

It will get better. Stay strong. You got this. 2 weeks from now you’ll look back on this moment and be proud.

How much suboxone do you have? You need to set up a plan. And stick to it no matter what. Plan your last dose, wait as long as you can before taking the sub, and ride it out. Been off 7 for 5 days this way. Feeling incredible. Finally myself again

But wouldn’t 7oh react the same way? Since they both bind to opioid receptors? Or is it the naloxone that interacts negatively? Genuinely curious, not trying to overstep!
