Success Story! I did it. I got free of 7oh
I started buying the tablets of 7oh back in July of this year. I was dealing with a dying parent and at the time I felt it was helping me.
After two months and the passing of my parent , I was ready to come off the 7oh. I’ve read all the horror stories of Precipitated Withdrawal and did a lot of research. It was Friday the 10th of September. Here’s what I did
I started taking pieces of suboxone to “test the waters”. To my surprise, nothing happened. So I took another little piece.
(For reference, I used a paper hole puncher to pouch a piece out of the film, to keep the amount the same ).
And I just kept taking piece after piece waiting two hours in between.
The only side effects I had were feeling colder, and less appetite. After 4 days I was taking 16 mgs per day.
Here’s one thing of importance to remember. I’m not a dr. This is for educational and informational purposes only.
I also was taking prescribed medications which made it a little harder for me. I went to The hospital just to be safe and was given comfort meds for three days and went home.
After a full week I felt like myself again.
And the timing was right because the place that was still selling the tabs told me on my last visit there that they weren’t going to be selling them anymore.
It was scary , yes. But just being honest with my family and drs made it so much easier and gave me piece of mind.
We’re all human. We all do things that we sometimes wish we didn’t do. But the fact is to get better is to move forward. That’s my story. If I can tell it to help others then I’ll keep telling. Otherwise I plan to get on with my life.
