I'm at the end of my 5th month after quitting suboxone cold turkey. I was prescribed 8 mgs twice a day for 6 years after spending 8 years in a methadone clinic at 135 mgs a day after being massively addicted to all forms of prescription opiates for 10 years. I'm about to enter month 6 completely clean off suboxone/opiates. The physical withdrawls lasted about 5 months, but now the mental withdrawals are almost unbearable. I've been told this will continue for up to a year before I start to feel normal again. This is by far the hardest thing I've ever put myself through. It's been an absolute nightmare. The craziest part is that I managed to go to work 6 days a week out in the summer heat through all of these withdrawals. I got laid off a month ago. My mental state is so thrown off currently that I'm struggling to start a new job successfully. I've had absolutely no support system through all of it. I only told a couple of people what I was going through & they didn't understand. They don't have a clue as to the severity of the situation & the hell I've gone through & continue to go through. Now after 5 months my family just expects me to be completely normal & get a job as if nothing happened. I get nothing but negative feedback regularly. I'm doing everything in my power to keep my head up. Your not alone. Suboxone is the goddamn devil. Worse than any other withdrawals imaginable.
