It takes time Dog...look how far you have already come...hang in...unfortunately,I know nothing about sub.Best of Luck,Sharonn
Reddog,
I'm sorry you're having a bad time. I don't know anything about sub, but if you've only been off it a week, I think you need to be patient and give your body time to normalize. Sub wasn't your DOC but it still, if I understand the mechanism correctly, bound to your opiate receptor sites. Your body needs time to adjust to its absence.
I hope you feel better tomorrow and that if you feel low again, it won't be as low a low as you feel today. It took a while for me -- almost three months -- to feel like myself again, but looking back at the "rollercoaster" of early recovery, if I drew a line through the hills and valleys, the trend was generally upward.
Hang in there. If you're pulling A's through this, you're doing very well.
Cheers,
Gina

I'm sorry I don't know anything about the sub either, except that it's supposed to help get you off the opiates. What I don't understand though is what was the point in taking sub if you feel like this getting off of that?
Hey Reddog, yeah, you are getting better with each and every passing day. Try to not worry yourself over the small stuff. I am here for you anytime.
Reddog I think you will have days like this.Of course no sleep factures in.It may take your body sometime to adjust to the "no sub"But I think if you count the good days & the bad youll find youll start having more good than bad.It will take time & I know when you feel crappy taking time is the LAST thing you want to do....Hang In There your right you dont want to have to start at the beginning again...mj
Dog, it does get better... i don't know much about sub, but i do know that life gets better. There will always be ups and downs... it's how you learn to handle the downs. Hang in there, i am here for you... keep talking it out. Love, Bri :)
red when i came off sub last time it took me a couple of weeks to start sleeping...........i tapered down from 8mg down to 0.4mg over about 10 weeks and still got some w/ds........only mild but enough to piss me off and mess with my sleep.........just hang in there it will get much better over the next week.....try not to stress and get as much excersize as you can.it really does help..........stay strong,chris
hey reddog, what kind of tapper did you do with the sub? i can only speak for myself, but i hated the sub wd. i thought it was worse than wd from vikes. but on the bright side.... it only gets better with each passing day. in my opinion sub is not the way to go with an addiction to pain meds. maybe for those on serious amounts of herion? but i thought sub was a very false sence of being off pills. it is something like 16 times stronger than percocet, hey don't quote me but i am pretty sure i am close with that estimate. good luck and like i said only time will make it better.
hey ryprect, i hope you are doing well
hey ryprect, i hope you are doing well
good to see you back angela.........how are you doing?
oh, you beat me to it, i just saw your post. well not to go into a big song and dance, i am still the same. how are you? are you back on sub? i will not go back in that direction but we have a different doc so i guess it's not the same? well i hope you are ok. you were a really good friend to me when i started sub. oh how is your girlfriend?
sorry reddog for talking on your thread

Hey guys
I ate dinner, I have to leave for class soon, its soo cold out and rainy. I am never EVER GOING TO FORGET THIS CHIT IM GOING THROUGH. Im going to stain it on my mind. So i never forget or forbid relapse. You guys mean soo dam much to me all of you. Molly Jean im glad your back,
There is a quack on another board thats been harrassing me and scaring me since day one. He emailed me today and said the half life of sub is like 10 days, My dr said 3. If its 10 days then im in for 30 days of wds! I hope to God thats not true,
For sake of my onw sanity at day 7, am i over the worse. I can only hope and pray so. I dont look sick, my parents said i looked good, but i dont feel good!
Love you all

Dear Redd,
When I went of sub it took me a couple of weeks till I felt better. The wd wasnt as bad as ct from lortabs but the cravings were bad, how are yours? I think that was worse then the physical part for me. Hang in you will feel better soon. Take some advil and try to relax you will start to feel better soon....
All the Best.....Shel

I had a bunch of sub left over, i hate to say it but i Flushed it all. I wanted to give it to someone who needed it, its expensive, but i didnt want it in my room anymore. I guess its a mental thing. So i just fluched it all down the toilet, along with my guts like usual

Sandy i dont have any cravings and im not depressed, im taking an AD. I just cant sleep too well and i can feel the anxiety. I am no drinker but im considering having a few tonight so i may relax and sleep, Please I know its not the answer, i dont want anyone to jump on me. Im just afraid to take the Ativan, i dont want to get hooked on it. I havent had any since friday. Benzos are scarier than opiate wd if you can beleive that, well at least thats what i have read.
ruprect, this will be my last post on dog's thread, i don't want to be a bit*h, just wanted to catch up with you while i had the chance. no, i am not on sub again, i didn't like it when it was all said and done. yeah it was cool while i was on it but that came to a screaching halt when i took my last mg. this time around i am going to do my best to tapper and hopefully learn my lesson. i am really glad to see you back on the right track and happy about your girl!!! i don't come on very much but i will look for you in the future.
good luck to everyone!
love angela
