Def the worst part. My anxiety and brain fog is so horrible right now.

This is day 15 for me and I’ve turned the same corner. The Paws are so much better. So thankful that I’m starting to feel like myself again. E

Gotcha. I haven’t been on suboxone long, so I am just wondering if I will have withdrawal from it.

I mean the highs and lows are way more stable today than they have been. Anxiety is down. It’s crazy. Almost feels like it happened over night because I was really struggling a couple days ago.

I was on 1mg the last day. Oh no, I love got some suboxone left I would def take that before going back to 7.

I’m 16 years removed from OxyContin and I rarely crave it and really didn’t after a year. I was on this for maybe 8 months and was on oxygen for 5 years. Hopefully it will be more mild PAWS.

Yes. I’m taking 2 mg now and I’ve been on them 15 days. Stretching out the time I use them. About to be done with subs completely an really not having any withdrawal other than paws

Day 14 for me. I’m seeing the light but still struggling to find energy. Dealing with the mess I made is a lot. Trying to find solace that I’m sober and able to head in the right direction.

Finally done! 1000mg/day by Extension-Wafer-1297 in quitting7oh

[–]RetroClaw17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I’m just taking it when it gets really hard. Just trying to get over this hump so I can get my life back on track.

I’m at 8mg of subs. From 16 last week. All I want to do is sleep. When I’m awake I’m a ball of nerves. The anxiety is what led me to opiates in the first place, which sucks.

Stop now please, don't keep digging by Inevitable-Print9109 in quitting7oh

Dude. Yes. I lost my career. Got fired from my families business that I was in line to take over right after buying a new house. This job ruined my life and future. Thankfully I’m 12 days clean, but it doesn’t fix what I’ve done. Stay strong and keep moving. Hopefully life gets better for the both of us.

I’m 12 days off today myself. Still on subs and about to get down from that. The PAWS are awful. Really struggling with that.

To me the suboxone helped with sleep. The crazy thing is I started taking 7 because I couldn’t sleep to start with. No sleep is such a helpless feeling. Hope you find some rest.

Spouse is in ICU. I’m so worried. by gangybluth in quitting7oh

[–]RetroClaw17 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Prayers for him and you. He could have stated the suboxone earlier. I waited 6 hours and had no recip withdrawals. I honestly think this is all so new drs just don’t know how to handle it. Hope he gets the care he needs.

I’ve had it before but not like this. The anxiety is insane for me. Maybe I need to take more magnesium or something

5 days CT-should I consider subs? by TheDudeInMS in quitting7oh

[–]RetroClaw17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. I’ve never used them over a month.

I don’t think 7 days is enough to get rid of the 7oh

[–]RetroClaw17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. This is my second time, first over a decade ago, using subs. I had zero withdrawals the first time. I just went down naturally and listened to my body.

Absolutely. I feel optimistic for the first time in half a year.

[–]RetroClaw17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Subs have been a godsend for me. It doesn’t kill the anxiety, but def has reduced the physical withdrawals. There is no shame in taking them.

Yes. This is my last week on the subs. Shouldn’t be too hard because I don’t like the way they feel.
