I will make this short and sweet if I can. I am on my third week of Suboxone treatment. Taking 8mg in the morning and sometimes another 4 or 8mg in the evening depending on how I feel. I know that may seem like a pretty high dose, but my DOC opiate intake before quitting and starting on Suboxone was pretty high.
My question is, will I get my drive back soon? I have very little to no motivation whatsoever. I can get up and get out of bed, and get a few things done throughout the day, but I just feel so slow and not deeply depressed but not myself and kind of feel like I don't have much to look forward to now that getting high is gone.
I never want to go back to using. I desperately want to stay clean, but at the same time I really miss feeling happy and driven to live life. Now I feel like my legs weigh 100 lbs and like I have to push myself to do even the simplest things. I know in my heart that I am just being weak. I need to keep pushing forward one day at a time, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
I feel the same way On Zubsolv. I feel "heady" and like I've been "drugged" (not in a good way). I'm lethargic & tired. -I must say though, I do not feel "sick" (I'm coming off 26 mg of methadone). I feel "normal", but soooo tired. I took only 2 doses. I did not take my dose this am yet.
I'm having prob sleeping. Last dose of methadone was this past Fri near 10:30 am.

Hello Sickandsorrynurse, thanks for responding.
Yeah so I guess we are in the same boat. I am tired of feeling down. On top of the way I feel on the inside, it is grey and rainy outside all the time. I have been taking plenty of vitamin D3 to try and improve my mood but I just ain't myself. I know it is wrong to replace one drug habit with another but sometimes I just wish there was some sort of a happy pill that I could take that would make me feel better. I mean I try, I really do. However, when you are constantly pushing yourself forward and always conscious of your mood it begins to wear on you. I can only liken it to standing naked in an icy cold pelting rain. The longer you endure it, the harder it gets to withstand the down-pour. Now don't get me wrong, I am not going off the deep end here, I would just really like a few rays of sunshine. Anyhow, feel free to talk anytime you need. Hope you are doing and feeling better today!
