Today is day 34 off suboxone. It feels like it was a lifetime a go that I was on this medication. I was on it for 3 years almost to the day. I finally feel normal. When I say normal I mean very very normal. I almost miss the WD, it’s crazy. All in all it was 2 weeks of uncomfortable WD. The most persistent symptom was insomnia which lasted 29 days and anxiety (23) days. Sleep deprivation exacerbates the whole process. I did have a handful of days where I took oxy. Not a good idea as it prolongs the withdrawl process. I missed 3 days of work and had to leave early a couple days. Please know that it CAN be done. The WD is nothing like a full agonist! It’s not fun b any means, but its very doable. I could never taper, let alone stop full blown opiates. Bupe is a life saver and I am very grateful for going through this treatment. I would love to hear some advise on how to stay off all opiates after sub treatment. Thanks to everyone on this forum. Godbless
