Hey Esquire,

Welcome to the forum!!

It looks like you had a 6 year addcition to pain pills, then you were on Suboxone for about 10 or 11 weeks total, jumping off at 2mg.

You basically used Suboxone to get off of pain pills, then did a quick taper off of Suboxone. We’ve had many people here do that and their wd symptoms are usually not too, too bad. The Suboxone, for the most part, should have eliminated any serious wd you had coming your way from the pain pills, but you also haven’t really been on Suboxone long enough to have developed a full dependence on it, so your wd from it should be minimal. At least that’s how it has played out for a lot of other people in your shoes.

All the symptoms you mention are classic opiate wd and the sneezy’s seem to be more directly related to Suboxone wd. As Amy said, I think the worst of what you’re experiencing will be over in a few days, you might have a few more days of "blah" after that too.

Amy also asked you some great questions about how you plan on staying drug free. A lot of people seem to be able to get off of drugs, but a lot of those folks also end up going back. I know when I got off of Suboxone, I kept telling myself over and over again that there was no way on God’s green earth that I was ever gonna use drugs again…..well, long story short, I used again….and again….and again. I was FINALLY able to pop my head out of my ass and I’ve been doing good ever since. (BTW, I don’t mean to imply that your head is up your ass…..I would never talk that way to someone who knows how to shoot a gun!! LOL)

Good luck, man!!
