I work at a really high energy job as a hairstylist. Its a huge salon and I have a huge clientele and work 10 hour days with no breaks straight through. Entertaining people all day long really wears you out. To my point....i really want to get off the sub. So how long do you think I will need to take off of work. I am so scared. I only get one week paid vaca and I doubt my boss with let me off more than that... Will one week be ok? FUCK!! i hate myself for getting me into this shit. Please help.

I have been on SUb for 4 yrs. Ppl sometimes look at me in question because Ive been on it for so long, but 5 months into it I found out I was pregnant. Back then remind you suboxone was unheard of ..no one knew what it was nor then docs. So I was kicked out and was told to go back to the methadone clinic. After 2 years and a w/d of 14 days (also taking 12 mg of subs daily during my w/d) didn't want to do that, but 5 days later I went to the methadone clinic took 30 mg but later that day I found a doc that would help. They first started me on subutex , but I didn't like the way they made me feel-very fatigued. so I was switched back to suboxone, and on a slow tapering process was down to 2 mg when I had my son. My baby doc also knew and knew how good I was doing and didn't want me to go all the way off before I had my child so I had him the next day after I took my last 2 mg suboxone. I took him home 2 days later-no withdrawals from him, he was fine. I even got a call from the makers of Suboxone asking how I did and if he went through withdrawals, and I think that helped, bc no one wants to have to give their baby methadone. So I am back on suboxone but Ive been through alot as well and I feel wonderful right now and is going thru college and want to grad before I ever come off or down. I just wanted to tell all mothers-to-be out there if your afraid suboxone will hurt them I don't think so. Mines going on 3 and he's great. No problems with anything. And if a doc tells you their going to cut you off at a certain point-CHANGE DOCS-dont do it until ur ready .bc if your not ready more then likly your relapse. be strong were all out there that can relate... ok, I found this website yesterday and I liked what I read.

He also gave me nucynta to take every 8 hrs to help with pain and withdrawals. It's some kind of new opiate. Of course I'm having to take it more to keep me from having withdrawals. To give some background, the dr started me on subs cause I've had severe pelvic pain issues that weren't being helped with any narco. Wad even taking cotyns at one point. I don't chase the high. I just need pain management but have a high tollerance. So back to my question. Will it affect me being able to quit subs if I'm taking another narcotic to basically replace it? I'm scared I'm already addicted to the new stuff. Crazy thing is I got off subs last year without even realizing it. I didn't know they were addictive and just took them every few days and then just stopped one day. Boy do I wish I could do that now. My dr told me to jump off of 4 mg.

I picked up some melatononin at the hippi store and I am gonna try to use that for my sleep tonight. My moods are flip flop as are my chills but it is tolerable. I can already feel the dope fog lifting and life coming bach...actually caught myself humming a Doors song. I know there is a long way to go but im gonna make it...Even found a 40mg oxy today while packing to move and i threw it down the toilet, I then dry heaved for a while but now im ok lol. Im excited for this new chapter in my life. Must stay positive and remember I DID THIS TO MYSELF...For every action there is a reaction. I knew what I was doing and knew it would come to this so I gotta suck it up and keep going. I will write again tomorrow. Peace.

Nothing intense like coming off of oxys but feels more like It is the tail end of a oxy withdrawl. I can already feel some of my head coming back but I know its still gonna get worse but Im not counting on that nor focusing on it like I would always have done while coming off oxys. I am excited for this next chapter in my life and cant wait to be free of the burden these opiates hold, and I know that this school I am about to do is going to be challenging, but worthwhile. And nothing compared to the three months in SD 10 yrs ago. I will keep posting to let you know how its going, it definitely helps me to just open up about it. Thanks for your response.

I think it is more mental when you jump off of suboxone at 2mg and or less cause either way it's going to fucking suck... I still suggest taking your time though. Since you can't taper but you're down that low and you're on a time schedule... Look at it this way; get off the suboxone now; you've got something that'll take up your time and kick your ass back into gear (ie. the military). Kick this shit now, go thru the hard stuff and get ready to roll. I don't give any background of myself on here but I understand your position or can relate (Semper Fi). Getting focused, getting busy, staying busy and or getting you're ass kicked backed into operation mode will do the trick.... (funny shit).... You'll be ok dude. Bob, you actually have a rough road but a way out of this....look at it that way. Brian SuboxoneTaper.com Bob,

I have been sitting at my computer for a couple hours between here and suboxonetalkzone...I have a question that I was hoping you might help me with. First I will tell a little about myself. My name is Bob and I have been an opiate addict since I was 19 yrs old. I started with nubain (nalbuphine) and after sobering up from that went straight to heroin. After a couple years of heroin (3 gram habit per day tops) I quit COLD TURKEY...horrible experience....Well that wasnt enough, I relapsed with oxycontin / methadone on and off for the next 5 yrs, until nrehab in 2007. I was clean until jan 2010 when I took a quarter of a suboxone to see what it would feel like...I loved it and have been taking it pretty much everyday (buying it black market) the max i have taken in one day is 8mg but usually it is just 4mg....Now I am down to 2mg a day and want to stop. Is a taper necessary or do you think I can just stop? I (like everyone) want as little withdrawl as possible. I am getting ready to go to a military like school on May 24th and it is gonna suck if the first couple weeks are gonna suck even worse than I am sure they already will. I know I am an idiot to wait this long and dont be afraid to tell me this....I just get so tired when I stop and I have been afraid of the withdrawl...now I have no choice and this is coming no matter what....What do you think I can expect?? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks! --Bob Hey man whats up, interesting site here.
