First of all, I was not coming off opiates at all. No WD's whatsoever. I was basically holding them until I'm actually wd'ing from oxys, but I decided to eat about 1/6th of an orange hexagon sub pill on friday night. It was pretty good actually, eased my mind, got lots of sleep. But I was incredibly tired saturday and today I've been cranky and mildly depressed. Is this a common reaction to taking suboxone esp. since I was not wd'ing from anything? :cheers2:
Whenever I took subs I wouldn't have any tolerance/WDs, but it would defiantly last through to the next day and 2 days after I would still feel out of it. So I would say this seems like a common reaction to subs. I mean if they were real good and had no comedown then more peeps would take them
I dunno I basically think that you shouldn't feel different at all but that might be because when I used Subs I was very addicted. I was coming off 2 bundles of some fire dope a day habbit, used subs for like 5 days and felt like I was normal so dunno depends on the person maybe or the addiction
My brother and I kicked our OC habit recently by using Suboxone that we acquired from friends whenever we could. We had a good run of being able to fnd it for about a month straight which kept me completely off OC (still am!) but its also had some prominent negative side effects. The constipation and urinary retention on Suboxone is very strong. All opiates have had this effect on me, but none to the extent of Subs. The tiredness and depression you felt is 100% normal and definitely another shitty side effect of Subs. Until I got used to them, I would take a small piece, get really nauseous but still feel kind of good, and then the next day I would be very irritable and have mood swings until I took another one. Those feelings have seemed to fade away after using it for a long period of time, but that's the kicker, the withdrawals from long-term Sub use are horrendous. Definitely on par with OC withdrawal if not worse. Suboxone can be a life saver and a life ruiner. Right now I'm sort of in bewteen as it has kept me off pills but also has made me feel like shit on certain days. Like I said, the withdrawals are no joke, so be careful with this stuff.
"Sub wd's are no joke" Yeah I know tell me about it I was on it for almost two years.I just got sick out it and wanted to feel normal.So I quit cold turkey-(yeah kinda stupid but tapering just make's the process that much longer) It was fucking HELL! I'd rather get shot,I didn't even sleep for the first week.
I know the feeling there, ive had to quit suboxone cold turkey when I had my script because I was in another state and needed to goto the doctor and couldn't get a refill, I didn't sleep or eat the first week, worst withdraws id say, very well up there with morphine and methadone. The long lasting opiates are the worst, I mean I can't say that OC and Hydro withdraws are cake, but compared to the longer lasting opiate's they are, since for the most part, oc and hydro are bad the first 3 days and you will start to normalize quite a bit and alot faster than sub, done, and morphine.
