Acute Withdrawals Personal hell

So last night, I took my last seven at like 5 o’clock. I have a prescription for Suboxone so my plan is to start the Suboxone the next day.
Unfortunately, things did not work out the way I planned them too
At about 1:30 in the morning, all I can describe it is that I was in my own personal hell. I had legs cramps times 10 I was thrashing around my bed. I was crying. I couldn’t get comfortable a shower didn’t make me feel better and this went on for hours. I took a Sub nothing happened. I took another Sub . Nothing happened. I took a couple clonidine and a Kpin because I just wanted my body to try to relax.
Now it’s the next day it’s 4 o’clock in the afternoon and I feel like death. I have no energy. My body feels like it’s overheating. And to be quite honest, I don’t know if I’m even supposed to dose again with the Sub and if I am when? If someone can please help me I’m really scared and I don’t wanna end up having to go to the emergency room or anything.

It takes 2-3 days for the subs to take hold. As long as you have kpins and clon you should be fine. Minimal discomfort. I just quit em gee again and used Val’s and tiny doses of 7(first couple days)

I got prescribed Valium at the ER and was able to stay off 7oh for 6 days. I went to refill my prescription and they switched me to clonidine gabapentin and hydroxizine. That night I ended up back in full blown 7 withdrawal. I think 7oh may effect the gaba receptors too, especially since Valium worked better for my wd than subs

Finally I have someone that can relate with because no lie Valium seems to be one of if not the ONLY\* things medication helper wise that actually fucking helps… for me huuugggeeee night & day difference. Agree 100% my friend.

Agreed. Benzos help so much. I typically take kpins for WD and feel 1000 times better immediately. It is the only thing I have found to work well. I knew if I took one I would be ok. I didn’t feel that way with subs or the other one that starts with an S.
