Being super emotional during wd is completely normal, don’t let it get ya down.

I’m glad you were able to watch a lot of movies and that your mom was there to help you pass the time, but you may find getting out of the house to be more beneficial to you. I imagine your brain (if it’s anything like mine) is telling you NOT to go out and do things, but forcing yourself out will actually help.

Keep digging deep, keep holding on and believe that you will get better. During my wd, I really, really wondered if I’d ever feel normal again. The good news is yes you will, the crap news is that it takes time.

Another good one Tiny. I might have to print these and slip them under my husbands nose while he’s sleeping. LOL

I tapered down really fast to .5 and today is my second day without suboxone and I actually feel completely fine..

Imodium helps wonders.. I took between 16-24MG yesterday which was my first day off and that helped a ton. And when I go to sleep I toss and turn a bit, but I take ZZZquil and some Imodium and I can fall asleep..

Good luck. Buy some Imodium I’m telling you.

Congrats! I did a really quick week taper from 4MG to .5MG and today is my second day with no suboxone and I can relate to you!

I also feel pretty much fine, some of that "blah" feeling but nothing crazy.. But sleep remains to be the biggest issue. I’ll think I’m fine and then go to sleep and toss and turn and have problems getting comfortable. Very odd, but I’m sure it’ll get better.

Keep us posted ! Congrats!!!!!

Hey Brown eyed girl!!

congrats on finding a taper plan that works for you! I really believe that the small reductions will be very do-able, and if alot of people have sucsess with that cutting guide technique im gonna have to pony up that 5 bucks lol.

I have pretty much always had vivid life-like dreams on sub…sometimes i wake up believing they are real, and ill be very frightened or happy when i wakw up depending on what type of dream i had. When i first start to fall asleep alot of times i get this sense that im falling or something and it jerks me right awake and ill be terrified. Another thing that sometimes happens is a part of my body will involuntarily jerk on its own for no reason at all, and it wakes me right up. I have a hard time getting back to sleep after this happens even if im exausted to begin with, because i think this "jerk" comes woth an adrenalin rush. It dosent happen every night probably once or twice a week but the vivid dreams happen all the time, but i kind of enjoy tgem because aloy of times i can somehow control what im doing in my dream like its a real life video game or something ..lol.

well just wanted to say good job so far, and i wish you luck with your taper!!

Haha oh my god….I used to work at a kinkos when I was 19 and this brought back so many memories. There was a tofu house next door. EVERY WEEKEND the ambulance would come because someone was choking. One co-worker managed to chop off a finger with the automated ream cutter thing (I got in the next day and it was taped off. I could see the blood where his finger was cut, and the weird thing was there is a plastic guard, and the machine does NOT cut unless it is ALL the way down. We tried ourselves, couldn’t get it to work with our hands under the guard. Not the smartest move lol) but the BEST was when the night shift guy fell asleep and a bum stole a copy machine. We all watched the security footage. You could see the dude sleeping at the computers for customers towards the back, some bum walks in, unplugs an old black & white canon copier and straight up wheels it out the door like its his shopping cart. There was a brand new color one closer to the door but he took an old one, why ill never know….good times lol

The anxiety seems to be getting better, I can feel it come on and my skin heating up but it’s nowhere near as intense as yesterday….I think this forum has done more for anxiety than any supplement ever could. I also read somewhere that a scant 10% of people DON’T get paws….I can only hope I’m closer to that 10% rather than the other 90%

hey poppie,

im sry for your loss! You must be so scared right now, but you gotta try not to beat yourself up and get stressed out. Your body is working very hard right now developing a baby so you really gotta just relax so you can sleep, and get the rest you need!

I dont know if im understanding this correctly or not, but you said you lost your baby after tapering off sub? And now your planning on tapering this time as well. Please dont do that, its not good for you or the baby right now. Just stay on a comfortable dose through out your pregnancy, and take care of yourself.

congrats on the nuptuals as well! take care!
