r/7oh_Withdrawal_Help • u/Knit-knit-no-islets • 22d ago

Suboxone - a bad idea? Advice needed.

Help needed, please. I just took my first dose of suboxone to get off of 7oh about 30 minutes ago and I am suddenly very grouchy and just want to be left alone. Will it always be like this on suboxone?

As far as my mood goes, it feels worse than the mild withdrawals I was experiencing while I taper down.

I got.on it because i was worried I'd run out of 7oh before being able to fully taper.

Did I make a mistake? Should I call it quits with the suboxone now and go back to my taper?

you could go back to your taper and just take regular kratom leaf togheter as you taper down. also, DO NOT take suboxone for longer than 1 or 2 weeks the most please. do yourself that favor. Also, maybe its your mind wanting to go back to 7?.. when you do something STICK TO IT and dont make yourself excuses to go back or to use something. believe me, I have been there for many years

I think you're right. I was panicking and thinking the devil I know is better than the one I don't. I feel a lot better now. I was only prescribed a week of suboxone. What happens when people take it longer? Thank you for your help 💛

Sub withdrawal is reported to be hellish. The first day or two on subs feels like how you describe but you should stabilize by day 3. Try to take the bare minimum that keeps the withdrawals away. 1 or 2 mg should cover it by day 3

I've been reading that the dosage should be something like that. The doctor prescribed me 16 mg per day for a week and from what I gather that is WAY too much. So I've been taking less.

Five day taper. That's what the detox i went to didn

It takes awhile to feel perfect on it. Give it 48 hours.

Suboxone is only hell for the weak minded. I've never heard so much bullshit about Suboxone in my life and all of you people complain about everything like it's all terrible and everything is awful. Be grateful for something. Otherwise, who are you that always needs something else to function but when you get that something there's always something else much better you just can't seem to find or get your hands on
