So a lot of people put up posts asking what detoxing off suboxone or any opiates are like.
I thought I would post a daily log, updating my detox experience. I plan on tapering off of the suboxone to try to ease the pain.
Aslo I feel like putting up this journal kind of helps, not only because there is a chance I might get some support from you guys but its a fact that your more likely to achieve something when you write it down.
My background: been using oxys for over 7 years now. I once had a 160mg a day habit. I have not touched any oxys or such pills in about a year now. I really dont have the desire. I take suboxones because I am afraid to detox, I did it once and it was hell. but now is the time, I must do this.
I have been on suboxones for this past year, everyday, I take anywhere from 4-8mg a day. I snort them. I am down to my last 1 and a half suboxones. the temptation to snort them is too much so I decided to put them in a 10cc syringe and add 8cc of water to a pill (4cc for the half pill). this way here I cant snort them, making it less likely i will abuse them, also this makes it MUCH easier to give myself the appropriate dose. 1cc=1mg, I can get it down to .25mg easily this way.
today is DEC.27th. my new life starts now.
DAY 1: I woke up feeling hung over as usual from the suboxone. feeling very down and depressed.my legs hurt,runny nose,burning eyes. I just took 1mg of suboxone. I feel better now. its nice to know that I can take such a small amount to feel better. I hope tomorrow is just as easy. I would like to get it down to 0.5mg as soon as possible.
I am a little sore but I wont do anymore, I like to think of the pain as poison leaving my body.
DAY2: I kept waking up in the middle of the night and ended up sleeping kind of late (11am). when I woke up I could really feel the pain especially in my legs.I didnt want to move.feel like a zombie. I took 1MG of suboxone at 12:00, I feel better but lets see how this goes.
DAY3: I woke up in the middle of lastnight, with RLS and took 1mg so I feel like I cheated, but I am half way through today and so far I have not taken anything, I am going to try to get through this whole day with nothing because I feel like I cheated lastnight. I just need something to do to take my mind off this...
DAY4: I made it all day yesterday without taking anything. so today I lowered my dose to 0.5 mg
DAY5: this morning was HELL. I had to take 1mg, I feel better now. I feel guilty that I took 1mg but I feel good thinking that 1mg is a lot for me now. there was a time in my life where I needed 2 80mg oxys a day, one to wake up and one to sleep. this is progress and I am determined
DAY6: took 0.5mg I cant wait for the day I can get out of bed without feeling dizzy,foggy,and hung over.
Day7: took 1mg, I think I could have taken less though, I feel so much better already, just dealing with my stomach issues from this. its still not over though. I am going to try to see how long I can go with taking nothing now!
DAY8:eh I caved... I took 0.5mg I am sooo tired and my stomach feels like shit, sweating like crazy, but as long as I dont have that RLS I am good.
BTW.. I am down to my LAST MG!! I am a little scared but at the same time I know that I am that much closer to finishing this.
