No worries Evey, I’m not offended. I just don’t understand your reasoning, that’s ok though. You will find support here, whatever you choose to call your problems.

Hey there Anabel,

You are so stinkin sweet that’s for sure! I’m so happy you blew off the half-day today. We need to do that once in a while. Wow, you got LOTS of sleep didn’t you and I’m sure you needed it too. Sure hope you feel refreshed now.

LOL. Kitty capture night….HAHAHAHAHA. That had me laughing so hard!

I can just see you now running around trying to chase the cat down with a pillow case! And him running away for his dear life!!!! HAHAHAHA…your so funny girl!!! Sure hope you get your man tonight!!!! HAHAHAHA!!! Too funny! Feels good to laugh so thank you for that one!!!

Maybe put a bowl of pure whiskey out and perhaps he would get good and drunk and fall over?? Then you wouldn’t have to be chasing him all over the place with that pillow case??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Omg….I almost wet my pants laughing!!!

I actually took about an hour today and layed back down. I NEVER do that as I work from home as you know and feel I should be in my office at all times. But I really was feeling a bit down and tried to get rid of my nasty headache. I’m having some hot/cold type sweats, and some tummy issues. Didn’t get much sleep last night either and I have been sleeping great lately too. The RLS kept me awake most of the night.

I hate complaining because I don’t like negative stuff. I like to remain as positive as possible and happy all the time. But I want to be honest here and not give anyone the false impression I’m sliding through this taper with no problems. I’m sure these symptoms will pass tomorrow or soon enough. They sure won’t stop me in my mission to get off this sub that’s for sure!

Hope you have a nice evening at work. Give me a shout when you get the time. I always look forward to hearing from you too. Your doing awesome on your own taper! I believe your down to .75mg if I have it correct? Not much longer for you now. Yes, it would be great if we could finsih together, but your a ways ahead of me right now. We’ll see what happens.

Got to run. Take care sweetie and I’ll catch ya later. HAHA…I’m still laughing!!!

Karen
xoxo

I’m so sorry. I don’t have any words of wisdom, because I know the position you’re in will take so much more than any words I could muster.. but you aren’t alone. There is hope, it just may take time to realize it. Sending you a huge virtual hug.

Is there anything good in your life at the moment? Do you have a supportive partner or spouse? Friends that you trust and can talk to? A job that satisfies you in any way? When I was the most scared and trapped feeling, I found that focusing on anything positive in my life, helped tremendously. Try not to look at everything all at once. Pick on one thing to tackle, fix, tweak, and make small steps. If you’re battling depression at the same time as wanting to get off suboxone, that is really hard. You’re not a pussy. There isn’t anyone who could do it better or who wouldn’t be scared.. it’s a battle for everyone. Have you thought about trying to switch aniti-depressant meds first? Maybe Paxil isn’t right for you and another could work better? Treating the depression may be the wisest first step, but I also know part of the depression can be the feeling of being stuck on subs. Regardless, you’re best possible chance of getting through any of this, is to be on stable ground before jumping off something like suboxone. You have to be the strongest version of you.

I was on it for 6 years and know the hopeless feeling.. just hang in there and TRY not to read crazy horror stories online, they will only make you feel worse.

Use this forum to open up and talk about what’s going on, no one will judge. We’ve seen, heard, and lived through it all.

hugs

Have you been trying to get pregnant? Just "not preventing"? This kind of stress can’t be good, nor is tapering. I’d listen to whatever your doctors tell you to do.

I’m going to give the unpopular opinion that one should not get pregnant if they’re too scared to have a baby in their current situation. Mistakes happen but twice in a few months? I hope you can de-stress and take care of yourself in the next several months. Also know that miscarriages happen everyday all day long, to women not on suboxone or tapering, so you have no idea what caused it. It happens all the time. The stress is something you’ll have to get under control to support a healthy baby. Wishing you the best.

haha yeah…THAT pic kinda creeps me out too for some reason. and then it reminds me of ‘safety dance’ for some reason…

this is why i LOVE this forum so much. its ALL positivity here. i went through what i can honestly say was the worst experience of my life (worse than endocarditis+30 day hosp stay and heart surgery) and its all positive vibes. THAT helps a f***ton..and humor…lots and lots of humor..

btw…after the kava…my BODY no longer feels very anxious (hands and feet barely sweating and no sunburn feel) mind is still kinda all over the place, but its surprisingly more effective than the ativan or klonopin. i can honestly feel something alot more than placebo. doesnt completely REMOVE the anxiety but DEFINITELY takes the edge off. i got it at walgreens, kinda expensive at $24 after tax, but heck, its better than benzos (i think) if i keep it moderated. im not going to buy more though…once this bottle is gone thats it

It’s people like you that twist and turn to make suboxone seem like the demon that it isn’t.

I see too many get off BEFORE THEY ARE READY due to guys like you.

I’m not saying stay on forever and ever.

I am not justifying drug use at all. This is where your own mindset has ruined suboxone for you. It’s a medicine that I take. Not a drug that I do.

But. Keep trolling. Keep picking apart things to cause a ruckus.

Whatever makes you feel better.

PS.
Good thing I’m an emotionless zombie or else that really would’ve got me down.

Hello, Kat! Welcome to the forum! I’m glad you’ve decided to introduce yourself and stick around (I hope)!

Your story is one of hope and redemption. Sometimes we get folks on this forum who forget where exactly they’d be if it weren’t for suboxone. Stories like yours remind us not to take our recovery for granted.

Thanks for being here!

Doctor said he couldn’t approve early refill b/c of some regulation, so I’m pretty much screwed. Starting to feel quite a bit more uncomfortable. Freaking out in my head a bit about the days to come. Not sure why he wouldn’t do it. My record isnt just good, its perfect – I was astounded, especially since this is the only time in 10 years anything out of the ordinary has occured. I’ve never had a single relapse since day one, take drug tests every visit and have never failed, never abused meds, have enjoyed a good life until this stupid mistake tossing my meds in the garbage – hope it doesn’t jeopardize any of the good things I’ve worked so hard for over the past decade. Mind you, ive never actually met my doctor, i see his nurse. The nurse felt bad, said shed try talking to him again and promised to call me back – then blew me off and never called, probably because she didnt want to bear bad news a second time.

I know you all are talking about babies and all, but I haven’t held an infant since my son was born and he won’t give me any grand kids yet. Jeeesh, he’s 32 and I want one. But at least there isn’t one that’s an oopsy.

So what I do know is always have a dog. Well, he doesn’t think he’s a dog and is king of the house. What I wanted to say in this post was that for those who have Directv, they just put on a new channel for dogs. Yes, it is a dog channel that has calming music and images. It’s on channel 354 for free until Aug 14th. Then they want ten bucks a month for it.

Sorry to hijack this thread. Ya’ll can go back to Gaa Gaa Gaa, Doo, Doo, Doo, that’s all I want to say to you.
