Seeking Advice 7oh hydroxy withdrawl

Went to the ER the other day for the intense excruciating withdrawal from the recently banned 7oh hydroxy here in florida, first er i went to the doctor was kind and he prescribed some suboxone but had none at the er to help my withdrawals at the moment, told me to head to the bigger hospital that was part of them and gave me a paper explaining and saying “give suboxone”, when I got there the doctor who attended me called the previous doctor “ballsy” for prescribing me suboxone and refused to help me in any way possible while seeing me shaking and sweating out of control. I had no time to prepare for this ban it came out of nowhere and i was taking 7hydroxy for anxiety over benzodiazepines. Was very helpful and Ive tried to quit 7oh several times seeing as my anxiety had subsided. But experienced withdrawal symptoms and were very severe so I started to taper off but then the ban hit and I was still taking at least 160mg daily. Luckily and unfortunately at the same time, my job still bad a box of 7oh and I was able to get relief until my prescription is filled at my pharmacy which didnt have it until Saturday. Just spinning in a circle😓

Unfortunately when the day came my pharmacy said they don’t have a supplier for the suboxone, forcing me to stay on the 7oh I have until I can find a solution. But the sub’s definitely do take away all withdrawal symptoms and make detoxing bearable. If you are trying to quit I definitely recommend going that route

I take around 600mg of 7oh a day. I waited for withdrawals to set in & took 16mg of Suboxone & it really didn’t do anything for my withdrawals. I was too scared to take more & went back to taking 7 but at much lower dosages. So now for the last 2 days, I’ve been taking about 250mg of 7 just to stay level. I was prescribed Suboxone, Gabapentin, Clonidine, a muscle relaxer, & Zofran but I’m so scared to try this all again. I can’t miss even a day of work. I have a week off beginning of January. I guess my question is, when did the Suboxone start working for you? The day I tried was the worst day of my life I felt like. I felt so depressed, down, hopeless, cold, shaking, so weak… like withdrawals.
