Hey jzac66,

I’m a moderator here and I moved your post to Introductions so that more people would get a chance to see it. Since it was on a thread that was over 3 months old, it might have gone unnoticed.

Welcome to the forum! I wish you had known about this forum when you decided to stop sub. Unlike your doctor, we know more about sub than a cup of coffee! Lol! Your jump off sub was really abrupt, but you’re powering through it. For some people that works best. I’m taking the super slow taper route myself. In part because I want to avoid the type of depression you’re going through!

With that said, though, it’s completely normal for you to be feeling depression and a lack of energy. For some people this can last months, but not for everyone. You do start to feel better in increments until you notice that you’re mostly having good days. It does get better!

I’m so glad that suboxone worked to help turn your life around! Abstinence is one goal, but not everyone will attain it, and not everyone has to. But good on you for working so hard to get to your goal!

Thank you for your service to this country!

Amy
