I am trying to detox now, and I REALLY would like to have some kind of
idea of how long I can be expected to feel like ****. 2 weeks? Is
that all? 4 Weeks? I am actually hoping for something like that.
I am really worried about having to go back to work in a month and
feeling tired all day. I know there will be the psychological part of
it for the rest of my life, but right now I am mainly concerned about
the physical part, and moreover my energy level.
So do you happen to know what the time frame for detox off of
Buprenorphine is? I am currently on 4mg./day of suboxone - the orange
tab, I alternate between Suboxone and Subutex. I take a quarter of an
8mg. tab in the AM when I wake up, and another quarter in the PM,
during my hour long nap.
So what do you think?
1. I want to know how long the WORST part is going to be. Where I
have bad dreams, shakes, cold sweats, an achy body, can't eat, and
can't get out of bed. A Week to 10 Days or 2 weeks is my
presumption. Should I expect longer than that?
2. How long until I am "normal" again. Until I have energy all day
like I used to, and don't have overwhelming fatigue 4 hours after I
wake up?
I am talking about going cold turkey now that I've weened down to 4
mg./day. I got down to 2 mg./day once before, but I need my doses
broken up during the day in order to avoid prologued fatigue, if that
makes any sense. And I'm not on anything else. Although I would
consider taking something else to get me off this if I knew what that
something was.
Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
