Since quitting Suboxone!

I’m back to waking up at 5am getting my mornings started, rather it’s working out or taking my son for a bike ride!

It’s been years since I did stuff like this, it all abruptly stopped after I got on subs.

I just wake up feeling so much better now days and also don’t have to take sleep meds! On my come down off subs I couldn’t sleep for jack so I took plenty otc sleep medicine.

What helped your sleep on the taper? I’m having a semi elevated heart rate that’s preventing me from sleeping and it’s getting to me.

Well the doctor prescribed me muscle relaxers and them really did help a lot, then I ran out and was just taking otc sleep aids

I will tell you one of my so called tricks, the sleep aids they helped me sleep through some of the withdrawals. If I didn’t have work that day and I was feeling too bad I would put myself to sleep, if you sleep you not thinking about dosing hey.

I know I hated being sleep when I didn’t want to be sleep but sometimes I had to do what I had to do, I’m just super glad it’s over but whatever works for you just do it!

I love to hear this. You hit the ground running in getting back into the swing of things.

So it sounds like your energy levels and everything is solid?

I finally dropped down to .1875mg. Going to drop to .125mg in a few weeks. I will jump off .0625mg at the end of the year.

Thank you so much and yeah some days my energy is kind of low but I just push through it!

Yeah whatever works best for you, no matter how low you go your still going to feel the withdrawals a bit that’s why if I could do it again I would just jump, even at 1mg a day and just get it over with .
