I was either on subs or dope for most of my years but I would only take the suboxone for like a week and ween off so the withdrawals wouldn't be as bad. Then I would rinse and repeat. You can get crazy withdrawals from suboxone too though with extended use.
My last kick was in jail and then strait to rehab. I was dope sick really bad for the first 2 weeks and the effects lasted for over a month. I still have Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome and it's been 8 months since my last shot. Haven't had a solid night of sleep, or had any motivation whatsoever and my memory isn't what it used to be. I still get some mild hot/cold sweats too. So yeah, needle withdrawal is so much worse. I was snorting oxy's about 200mg a day for a couple months than quit cold turkey and that withdrawal was nothing like dope/needle withdrawal, so avoid needles if you can for sure. The high is so much better, but the sick is the absolute worst.
If you ever need some advice or anything just send me a PM. I don't really know what I could tell you that you don't already know, but just sayin.
Yeah I know it has me a good deal freaked out alright , worried how long the sickness from the methadone will be, I have heard numbers as high as 6 months of decent sickness,.. Yeah not sleeping always gets me so bad, . First time a quit I done cold turkey aswell, long after the pysical stuff was over I couldnt sleep either , (not 8 months) but too long for my liking anyway,. Would you ever take sleeping pills to help or would ya be too into them?,
Thats actually why I aimed at being on 30mg , was sick enough for the first while on it but evened out over time, They wont swap you over too temgesic (suboxone) if your on anymore, and since Ive only ever had good experience with it I wanted to be able too,. Its crazy , that stuff lets your brain heal itself while fighting sickness, yet methadone is the standerd, plan to swap over when im stable enough on the phy,
Have an oxy fetish lol, cant get them but seen some bloke smoking them on foil on mtv, since then been wondering what their like?
How is sober life working out for you,? and how sober is sober?
What was the rehad like there?
