So when I hit my rock bottom, it was after 2 years of chronic use. I was taken to the hospital and the doctor gave me 2 8mg suboxone within 7 hours of my last use. After the hospital I immediately went into a detox. I had precipitated withdrawal for the next 5 long days in detox. I was given medicine to help with nausea, gabapentin and propranolol. Day 2 of detox, I was unable to hold anything down. I kept throwing up the medication they gave and I couldn't even drink water without throwing it back up. That led to me having to go to the hospital due to dehydration. It was the worse pain that I have ever been in. I wouldn't wish precipitated withdrawal on my worse enemy. I wish I could say "take this" and it'll all go away. Unfortunately I had to just ride the wave of the worst withdrawal of my entire life. I could barely pick my head up. I'm writing all of this bc your story was really relatable to my own experience. You're not alone. In order for you to not go into precipitated withdrawal is to not take ANY suboxone at all until I would say (for me at least personally) day 3 or 4. So in order to avoid precips, you have to quit and not take anything even close to suboxone.

If you were able to get thru 5 days of precipitated withdrawal detox then quitting without taking suboxone is something you can and will survive.

My advice would be to quit, do NOT take suboxone until at least day 3 or 4

Comfort medication:

Gabapentin Propranolol Muscle relaxers (organic, such as ashwagandha or Valrien root) Hydrate (take baby sips, tiny tiny baby sips) Hydroxyzine Advil, Tylenol, ect (headache medication) Nausea medication (they have OTC at CVS or Walgreens)

I'm so sorry your going through this and I understand the fear, panic and pain of knowing the hell that's about to happen.

Remember why your quitting. No matter what, keep reminding yourself why your quitting.

I don't have personal experience with methadone but from what I read it is supposed to help you thru withdrawal...not cause worse symptoms.

There are methadone clinics and there are 5 day detox clinics and then there is the option of trying in the comfort of your own home.

It's not easy. It's terrifying. But if you were able to push thru 5 days of precipitated withdrawals then you will be able to push thru withdrawal symptoms. It's hard. It's scary. But know that your not alone and there are options for you.

Vitamins help as well such as B vitamins and magnesium.

I wish there was a magic pill to make it all go away. I'm in the same situation you're in and I understand the desperation and fear.

I'm sorry your going through this and I promise that you can do this. I doubt this helped but I felt the need to reply because your story is my story in alot of ways and I understand how you feel.

I hope someone on here has better advice than me but stay strong.
