The muscle pain and uneasiness always lasts for about 2.5-3.5 weeks for me. Sal, you said you've gone around 2 weeks so far. Well, the first post I made to you was 3 days ago, and you're that much further. It won't last much much longer. If this helps you, I can give you a benchmark for people addicted to OxyContin, and I assume bangin H prolongs what I'm about to say a week or two...When I first tried to quit OxyContin, I was taking 80mg a day; just one 80. The WD and muscle uneasiness is what lasted the longest; about a week and a half for me, but most of my symptoms were gone by day 5-6, the muscle pain and that tension that makes you feel like you wanna go run laps but you're just too damn tired, stayed for another 10 days or so. That's the first BM. The second is my friends who were taking 8-80mg OxyContins a day. They were prescribed them from a crooked doctor and actually needed them for pain...but they kept taking them and taking them building the habit. It took them approx. 7-8 weeks to begin to feel better. You figure they were taking 8 times as much as me, and they went through it 8 times harder, so they probably had at least 2 weeks left of nasty cramps and what-not. So, as it depends on the level of your addiction and how much you were doing a day, it is hard to pinpoint the exact amount of time, but it will go away. 8 weeks seems like a long time, Hell...2 weeks was rough for me then. But even if it's 2 months, you still have 10 sober months ahead of you after it's over. I'm not 100% sure what you mean when you say kicking or getting rid of teh kicking, but I hope I helped a little bit. Explain what that is if you don't mind and want to, I'd like to know what it is! By the way, I like your signature. I used to write that all over the place! Holds a lot of truth!! [)]

If I can't be my own,
I'd feel better dead

thanks jester , the kicking is when im trying to sleep the muscles in my legs get so tight leg kick out. its weird. today i dont have the pain as bad but i can feel it a little.
Oh yeah i was wondering has anyone else heard that if your in w/d from dope that if you eat ice cream it helps out with the w/d. so its not as bad? Ive heard this but have never tried it. everytime im in w/d im cold already. But if this is true does anyone know why?

Chris, I stepped off sub after a short detox (10 days or less) three (!) times. After all three, I got a bit of withdrawal after 5-7 days. Mostly restlessness, insomnia, mental craziness (crying jags), anxiety. NOTHING like cold turkey. It's not too painful, IF you are ready for it. And if you already have the meetings, counselor, etc., that is a great start.

There is just no pain-free way to get off a big, long-term, opiate habit, but sub is the best I have found so far. Tapers and cold turkey really suck.

Whoa, 80 Norco's???? You ARE lucky you still have a liver!!!

Can't answer you about the benzo's, that's about the only drug I've never abused, lol. I would suggest a taper, just in case????

Welcome!! Get ready for some fairly mild stuff a few days after your last sub, and let us know how it goes!

Chris.. the w/d from the sub at your dose and duration will not be anything like the stuff we folks who were on it for years. 10 days on the benzos will not cause anything but maybe some anxiety for a few days (if you have only taken them for 10 days.)

Ultram w/d is the skin crawlie crap ... Don't know how much you were taking of how long.

I think lack of energy and difficulty sleeping will be the big issues. Expect some depression and mood swings too.

Avoid benzos as they are highly addictive Always space em out if you do use one every now and again.

Amazing liver bud

Hey, one of my "doctors' just called to say I have a refill of norco and should he overnight it to me.....got tempted. need to know that it is a bad, bad decision. almost said yes and was thinking of calling back. havent had any on a long time and I know it wouldnt work with them bupe anyway, but it's crazy how tempting it is...a little off topic, but thought I needed to share with the folks who are comunicating with me. maybe I need to go to a meeting tonight.
chris

Yeah, maybe.....
But good job, nonetheless!!!

Chris!!! Change your number! Good job, on saying no, or not calling back. The sub will block the hydro, so don't bother. Hang in. And yeah a meeting sounds like a great idea.

Suboxone, being an atagonist/agonist is much easier to "come off of" then any classic opiod compound. The problem generally lies with how much and how long you continue to take this medication. Also, chronic fatigue, depression and returned cravings have be dealth with as you finally decrease to below 2mg day. In many programs that understand the psychopharmacolgical changes in the receptor sites, some of the problems can be addressed with medications, other mental health issues need support groups and alternative therapies.

Hope for the best but plan for the worst.

Hey Docotor, Weclome to the board. I am sure you can answer many peopl's qestions here. Welcome once again.
Stay Strong,Sheri

If at first you do not secceed, try and try again.

DetoxExpert = an MD?

What makes you an expert? Are you a MD? Work in a detox? Looks like Sheri thinks your are a MD... If you are not now is the time to disclose the facts, before people assume something which is incorrect.

Been on suboxone 36 hours last taken 6 hours ago desperate to use. What effects will using have with the sub in my system?

Ha. Using will have no effect since you last dosed 6 hours ago. So don't waste your time or $$$$. Plus, you got on bupe for a reason, right? So DON'T USE.

And welcome. Love your name!
