I posted earlier, but in the wrong place! Day 3 no sub.

hey greatest love,
Thanks for the update. I think you have more physical symptoms than I did, at least at this point. I really didn’t have much trouble with yawning, tearing & sneezing, except for the first 10 days. And like I said, no sweating. But I would say that you are almost at the end. This past week, which is week 5 for me, was much much better overall. I seemed to peak with anxiety at around week 3-4, and now I am on a more steady improvement.

Except for the sleep. I never realized how sleepy suboxone made me. It’s hard to know how much sleep I actually require at this point. When I get 7 hours, I think, that can’t possibly be enough! I slept 10 on suboxone, and sometimes napped on top of that! But maybe I will just need less now?

The sleep I do get is still a struggle. I wake easily, have bad dreams, and wake up with jaw pain from grinding/clenching my teeth. I guess it’s just going to be a gradual improvement, because it is better now than in the beginning.

Hope you are feeling a little better!
