PRIOR TO ALL OF THIS... I HAD QUIT 16mg SUBOXONE AND 4mg KLONOPIN. IT WAS BAAAD.
BUT I DID IT. ON MY 19TH DAY I HAD THREE GRAND MAL SEIZURES. I IMMEDIATELY WENT BACK
ONTO KLONOPIN, AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE SBXN TOO. LOVELY!
Well, I've almost done it. I was put on 16 milligrams of Suboxone six years ago. At the same time, the same doctor also put me on 40 milligrams of Adderal.. For two years I would begin my day with Adderal, then after waking up I would take the Suboxone. I didn't notice, but I was losing weight steadily. Someone took a photo of me working in the yard and was shocked at my appearance.. pale, skinny, sick looking. This was the superficial effect of what I was doing to myself. My mood swings were erratic and paranoid. EVEN FOR ME.. this felt wrong.. after a few tries I was able to quit Adderal and continued taking 16 milligrams. Sleeping became my favorite past time. I isolated myself like never before and lived in my own head for the next FOUR years.
I will never get that time back. Fortunately, I had divorced just prior to my "LOVE AFFAIR" with SBXN.
June of last year (2016), I realized that I was using SBXN to avoid my real feelings, and to boost myself in the morning ( big crash around 3:00pm ). I told the doctor and my dos was cut to eight milligrams. I didn't really notice a difference, ( any different from numbness, artificial energy, fleeting moments of happiness) . I couldn't accept how I felt any longer ( withdrawn, dead inside).
Finally, around August of last year (2016). I told the Doc that I wanted off and went down to 4 milligrams. Within a month, I was at 2 milligrams. Nearing Halloween I cut that in half and got down to 1. milligram. Through the Holidays and into the beginning of this month I managed to get down to taking 1/2 milligram in the morning. About two weeks ago I shifted to taking 1/4 pill of 1 milligram, so for about two weeks I've been on a QUARTER MILLIGRAM. I have one more left for tommorow. I'll be sooo happy to be rid of SUBOXONE. It may hard to forgive myself for all of the time lost to this nasty dirt.
DO NOT QUIT COLD TURKEY.. I DID AND I COULD BARELY MAINTAIN SANITY. BUT, I HAD QUIT 16 MG OF KLONOPIN AT THE SAME TIME.. QUITTING KLONOPIN COLD TURKY WILL GIVE YOU
NON STOP SEIZURES.. TAPER FROM THIS STUFF.. YOU COULD HURT SOMEONE, OR YOURSELF..
Peace
Tracy Anderson.. any questions are welcome.. I'll post the progress of feeling alive..
