sorry roby’. i have been through the ins and outs with this horrible problem for years. and thoght it was the soboxone. but going through other types of depression apathy anxiety it realy is not the subs cousing it.we go through apathy/depression /anxiety witch some times is just part of life. and then we find drugs that then lead us to soboxone,witch is a easy’r drug to get use too and atatched to. well then we become our selfs again and find our problems getting better or worse depending on our mind and brain. i got very sick on soboxone, and let me tell you". it was NOT THE SOBOXONE!! but i blamed it on it any way finding out later that it was a other medication that took me a long time to recover from. whatch out for other meds" they can make you sicker than soboxone ever will! soboxone gives us that strange chain a round are leg feeling becouse we know it won’t get us high but has the same stuff in it. and soboxone being a partial opiate it would not make any scense with that other stuff in it to cause these problems at such a horrible rate. plus we all have been taking drugs/med/ long enough to understand this. i hope you find the rite stuff to make you feel a lot better roby?

6. 7..Well i can tell you one thing i have dealt with stopping suboxone and going back to opiates when i switched to methadone. And i was on alot more subs than you as in 24mgs did a two week taper and than went without any sub for a few days. And the wd sucked but were not so bad as i think alot of people make it out to be. I was sick but still going to groups hanging out with my gf seeing my counselor so it wasnt terrible. I mean you are on such a low dose u might have very lil wds but nothing serious. But dont convinced yourself that is going to be a nightmare bc if u do than thats what will happen. Your mind is very powerfull and the best advice i can give u is stay busy.

As if starting the pain meds early i would wait and see hriow u feel during the taper/detox bpefore doing that. The less time on the pinkillers the better.

I failed!!! Made it to lunch time and depression and anxiety was to much. Basically I wussed out. Yes I’m all over the place with my dosages sometimes and I know I need to stop that!! I’m gone give it a go again 2morow. I really feel like if I can make it 48 hrs without dosing it’ll be alot easier for me to drop down significantly!

If you are having trouble, then why don’t you try an alternative strategy. Try stabilizing on one dose and then drop down slowly over time. And/or try making the dosage reductions smaller. Also, have you talked to your doctor about your difficulties?

You did not "fail" by the way. You might have made a small misjudgment, but that is how we learn.

When I was in treatment, I had a guy who’s girlfriend of several years stopped seeing him because she simply could not accept that he was an addict. Here culture had quite a bit to with he decision, as she was unable to not view using as something other then a "sin".

This same belief also prevented her from ever suspecting that he was using, even when it was very obvious. It is a form of denial.

You will get through this and you be a better person. Maybe in the long run it will be for the best. I am sure it is hard to see it that way now. Sometimes certain relationships and recovery just cannot coexist.

best of luck
