I posted my story yesterday but here is the short version:

Started suboxone @ 8mg almost exactly 1 year ago

Tapered over the past year to 1mg and stayed there for a month

Jumped off @ 1mg 9 days ago and went thru 7 days of hell!

Yesterday was better, but still uncomfortable. Took Ibprophen and a low Xanax dose.
Went for a jog around 10:30pm and fell asleep around midnight…. To my surprise I woke up at 7:30 am and couldn’t believe I slept so well… A little tired and slow but no pain or wd symptoms…

Took a hot shower, went for a jog and couldn’t believe how clear headed I felt and ZERO pain, cravings or Ill effects. It was like a switch in my brain turned on and started producing natural endorphins again… I feel better today then I have in years!!

My question is this, Do withdrawals just turn off??? Does your brain just wake up and all of a sudden its over?

Thanks for all the support!!!
The info avail here and the words of encouragement gave me the will to power thru it and not give up
People who haven’t gone thru this just can’t relate and don’t get it! The people here are great!

THANK YOU ALL
