Help! Not sure what to do. Just got out of rehab, I'm on day 20 and struggling. I've been off suboxone for a week and haven't slept, have no energy, ache every where, sweat, and I'm freezing all the time. The doctor offered to put me back on suboxone for a couple more weeks and I'm thinking I should go that route. All I keep thinking about is how one little yellow pill would make me feel better but I don't want to do that. I was on massive amounts of Norco for about 4 years. I would love some advice.
LOL..There you are...I just posted to you in another thread. Now you have this post in three different threads...that ought to get you some attention!

Pill Billy,
Welcome! You're in the right place. The people on this board gave me the courage to stop taking norco (25+ a day), and suffer through the detox/withdrawals of coming off of suboxone without picking up. How long have you been off of it? I'd strongly recommend toughing it out at this point, you should be coming through the worst of it in the next day or two, and if you get back on it, you'll just have to go through the discomfort of tapering off of it again.
Hang in, and keep posting.

Pillbilly, I KNOW how you feel and so does everyone on here. My heart goes out to you, but please just tough it out. You are off of everything and if you start back on the Sub the moments of suffering will be started over again. You will have to suffer like this, but I PROMISE you that it does get better. Your body is just trying to adjust to life without drugs. It will be okay. I am on day 94 now and I am sleeping so well now...better than ever. I was just like you and it does stop, but NOT if you start back on any drugs. Just let your body heal itself. Eat very very well and rest and be patient and you will heal up and all of those horrible physical symptoms will go away. Hang in there...one second at a time and they will turn to minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and so on. CAS.
