Hi Maryland!!
Well, I jumped from 5mg and it was pretty nasty. By day 3 I was sucking pavement hard!! My acute wd peaked on day 10. It was mostly the lack of sleep that broke me. The first week, I was only getting about 20 minutes of sleep per night.
Are you sleeping at all?? Do you have any comfort meds?? I would HIGHLY recommend you ask your doctor for some Clonidine. It’s a blood pressure medication that calms the sympathetic nervous system. During wd, your nervous system is going absoletely banana’s and the Clonidine helps a LOT with calming it down. Please, try and get some Clonidine if you can. I took .1mg twice daily. Yeah, .1mg is right.
Listen, Suboxone wd is NOT as intense as regular opiate wd, it does last longer though. 1.5mg is not too bad a dose to jump from, it’s a little on the high side, but not terribly high.
Keep posting, stay as active as you can. If you can keep your mind busy, it helps a lot. If you can get out and walk, that would be fantastic too!!
Hang in there, it will get better, it just takes some time.
Again, post away!! Ask any questions you want. Scream and shout if you want. You do whatever makes this easier on you, OK?
