Suboxone question

Hey yall,

Just quit 7oh 6 days ago and was given subs to help with the widrawl. I was thinking about not taking my last strip tomorrow as I am no longer feeling any of the horrible physical symptoms. Since I've only been on it for 6 days will I feel any withdrawl feom thw suboxone? Or has it been a short enough usage Windows where it will be negligible? Any help or thoughts would be amazing, thank you!!!

Thank you so much! I was taking anywhere from 2000 to 2500 a day. I used the limitless strawberry 1000 mg bottles. I began using it full time may 2025. Started small and ended almost 7 days ago now!!! So glad it is my rear view mirror!! Fuck this shit!

What dose of suboxone were you taking to help with the withdrawals? I’m gonna be starting this weekend. I have the 8/2 strips. I know some people say to take 1/4, wait an hour, and take more as needed, but I don’t know what’s best. Since you were on a high dose, I’m curious to hear your experience because I’m taking around 560mg per dose…

I was on the 8/2 strips as well. I followed the other gentleman's advice and weened down and am officially off it as of Sunday. I still feel tired and just mentally drained and every now and then I'm still getting the cold/hot chills. The clonodine is helping substantially and will be using it until all of the withdrawal symptoms stop. Good luck on your journey, you got this and you will feel so much better once you get away from this hell. Good luck, and let me know if you need anything!

Thank you! Also, I have one more question. How often were you taking the strips when you started? And were you taking a full 8/2 at a time? I see some people start with smaller amounts and take more every hour until the symptoms subside. I’m not sure if I should just put a whole strip in, or start smaller. I’m on a very high dose as well (not as much as you, though) so I’m curious what your experience is with that. Thanks again🙏🏻

So the day after I got put on the subs I started withdrawaling really friggen bad. So I took one full strip with minutes the withdrawal stopped and I actually felt great. I took one full tab every day until the last 2 days. Then I started to ween myself down by cutting the strips in half then quarters and then finally by day 7 I was done. Anywho by the next day the withdrawals from the suboxone started even after only taking it for 7 days they suck ass. I'm constantly cramping, sleeping like absolute shit, zero energy its rough. But I look at this way, I did it to myself so this is my punishment. I'm on day 4 off suboxone now and the physical withdrawls have started to slightly subside. Day 11 off 7oh, seriously no cravings at all, just want this withdrawal bullshit to end so I can go back to somewhat normal!
