gaulois – first off, thanks for sharing your experience with us. You’ve been through quite a lot. You are determined, I’ll give you that!
It seems as though you are back at square one though, does it not? What does of sub are you on? How often are you dosing? Maybe we can help you to dose-stablize in such a way that you’ll feel better on it this time. Are you in therapy of any kind? Or addiction counseling? Please consider doing one of those things. Recovery/remission is a time for change and personal growth. Without us being able to change who we had become in active addiction, we’ll never be able to pull out of it and STAY OUT OF IT. I firmly believe that. And if we can’t do that, what chance do we have of getting off suboxone successfully? By successfully, I mean staying off it and not relapsing.
Think about what needs to change between then (active use) and now. Has anything changed? What still needs to? Sometimes when people enter remission, they just don’t know what to do w/ themselves. That leads to them being sort of "frozen" and isolated. Could this be happening to you? Just an idea I thought I’d throw out there. After living with opiates and numbing ourselves for so long, and then becoming cold sober, the world can become a very scary place all of a sudden.
Like I said, maybe we can try to help you get your dose to where you aren’t feeling so poorly (assuming your doctor will allow you to play with your dose).
