There is absolutely no difference in the way you feel on 2 mg or 16. The only issue is are you through induction which is the process of switching from a real opiate to Suboxone. I was on 5 years before I forced myself to do quit. The issue is tapering the right way. The half-life of Suboxone is 33 hours. That means 33 hours after you took a dose half of it has left your body. Whenever you cut down stay on the lower dose for 7 days. That means you'll totally stabilize and adjust to the lower dose within 2.5 days. And if you cut it in small increments, you can experience the lightest withdrawal ever for those 2.5 days. Let's use an example, say your stable at 2mg. For 7 days you take 1.85mg. The difference is 90% imperceptible. The next cut down 1.65 for 7 days. Then 1.45 for 7. For the last couple weeks you'll get up in the morning and it's hard to take a smaller amount. So what I did was get 10 Tylenol 3s from my dentist and used those for 4 days and just stopped. I'm not certain what I did with the Tylenol 3s is a good idea for everyone. But I was scared to not take that imperceptibly little piece and decided that a final taper with codeine was an acceptable method to mitigate my fears. If anyone ever reads this and has a question I'll answer it

Good video here in Australia max dose is 32 m pick ups two weeks supply when l first got on it after being on methadone for20 years 4 years ago you could pick up 1 months supply (methadone liquid hand cuffs) pick up 4 take aways a week 2 at a time depending on the doctor if your working and clean piss tests can be different good luck not looking forward to coming off after your video

The MAT i was on it for about 7 years and the biggest thing that I realized was it killed my drive and my motivation. I didnt want to pursue the things that i did when i was sober my ambition all that stuff. It is absolute hell coming off, it has to be the worst torture method, worse than being starved to death. No sleep, cant get comfortable in any position, its such a chore just to do anything, it feels like im being turned inside out if you can imagine that but yea thanks for postin.

My teeth have taken a beating, I don't know how to get off

At 13:25 It doesn't actually supress the ability to sneeze, but the sneezing is a usual side effect of the withdrawals. Its not the same as the buprenorphine dehydrating your body, particularly your bowels, and thats why diarrhea is a w/d effect...all of that water/liquid/moisture is now being excruciated by your bowels (the opposite of a lack of water while on opioids and causing constipation).

Hey Ashton, I was on fent, h , cock in 2017 u r like me i went into rehab and on release they wanted to put me on subs. I refused, it's 2024 and still clean without it

Just go to detox. If you don’t have insurance, do a tiny amount of research on local hospitals, find one that’s used medication, walk into the ER, say you are having thoughts of Suicide. It may be 3-7 days, but 100x easier than doing it at home. Sleeps meds, anxiety meds, meals, and therapy at a minimum. Sunrise detox in Florida was serving steak and shrimp, had massage, and a smoking area

I'm on my last day of taking it. I took 0.125 today and I feel like crap but I think I'm going to jump off now

Anyone ever lose weight because of buprenorphine

How did you go see a doctor? Did you have healthcare coverage? Because this can be one of the most difficult steps to either be able to afford to see a doctor.

Amazing 👏 great job

I need to get off of them, they are causing so many side effects for me at this point, been on since 2017, losing a bunch of weight due to all the G.I issues its causing me

Thank you so much for this advice. I truly appreciate it. I was addicted to heroin and pills for 15 years while working non-stop. I started using because it seemed like the best solution for managing my workload and maintaining my enthusiasm for various activities. Of course, I had some incredibly bad days. Once, I managed to stay clean for three months and felt great. However, I relapsed. Then, I was clean for a year, living an extremely healthy lifestyle, working out, doing gymnastics, and calisthenics. But I fell back into using pills and heroin. While on heroin, I could easily code for 8-12 hours a day and play the piano and bass for another two hours, all before spending time with my family. Sometimes, due to the sheer amount of work, I would code for over 16 hours a day. I didn't know how to stop, and I made the worst decision by turning to methadone. Please, don't go down that path. It ruined me. After seven months of taking 60-90mg of methadone daily and injecting it, I lost all ambition, desire, interests, mood=no mood, and drive to do anything. I couldn't work and kept making excuses for myself-I fried my brain by overworking, burnouts, age. Eventually, I went to a clinic for a health check and blood work. My testosterone levels were the lowest ever recorded at the hospital: 78 ng/dl, which is unheard of for someone my age. I'm 38 and should have levels between 352-459 ng/dl. That explained everything. Even though I had some semblance of a sexual life, it wasn't the same as before methadone. Testosterone is crucial for a man-it's everything: the drive, motivation, confidence, interest, desire, coping with stress, strenght. After realizing it's the methadone, which can save lives but can also ruin them, was destroying me, I decided to take drastic action. I moved to a different country, checked into a hotel, and threw the key out the window. Room service would bring me food, clean up,while I was on balcony staring at Venezia, Italy. I endured 17 days of madness-not as intense as heroin withdrawal, but long-lasting, with body aches, restless legs, diarrhea, and unbearable discomfort being in your body constantly, sneezing like crazy. I couldn't do anything-watching a movie or playing a game was impossible. I could only listen to music, cry, and write to my family. After 18 days of full-on withdrawals, my body craved opioids, methadone so badly. Tonight, I went to get anything just to sleep and skipped smack and choose Suboxone to stop the insomnia and constant irritability that didn't stop at all. I couldn't lay still for even a minute during this time. I took 4mg. People have always recommended Suboxone to me, saying it's better, safer, and healthier than methadone. However, after watching your video, I’ve decided I won’t be taking it again. Thank you so much.

Been going on 20 yrs on suboxone and no doctor has ever been able to give me a positive answer about getting off it! Got myself down to 2 mgs and couldn't get off of it completely...still on 12 mgs and losing my teeth now!😮😢

"Supresses your ability to sneeze" omfg

Buprenorphine has a very long half life there should have been no reason to take it multiple times per day, and that's generally not how it's prescribed. All this does is add to the stigma surrounding addiction treatment and invalidates one of the only effective treatments we have for opioid use disorder. Addiction is a chronic illness, and like other chronic illnesses, such a diabetes or hypertension, sometimes requires medication for treatment. You don't hear people with diabetes talking about getting off of insulin. The idea that a person needs to stop taking effective medication that treats their illness is unique to addiction treatment.

Hey man thanks for the wisdom,suboxone is no joke I’m battling 16 mg taper and it’s very miserable

Thankyou brother. Inspirational. Good idea is to push thru 48hrs with nothing and then come back in on a much lower dose. I went from 2mg 5 x a day to quarter mg twice a day this way with ease

Ive been on subutex for 2 years and i REALLY WANT TO STOP. IM 16 MG A DAY ...CUTTING DOWN TO 8 SOON...I THINK IM JUST MAD....MAD THAT I HAVE.TO BE SICK AGAIN ...MAD THAT I PUT MYSELF ON IT TO TAKE AN EASIER WAY OUT... MAD THAT IT HAS A LONG ASS HALF LIFE ....I THINK OF MY FENT WITHDRAWAL AND IM LIKE MAN...NO FUCKING WAY CAN I SUFFER WORSE THAN THAT BUT I GUESS WE WILL SEE HERE REAL SOON. IM CURRENTLY PREGNANT SO IM NOT GOING TO HOP ALL THE WAY DOWN PREGNANT BUT I HAVE THE BABY IN 2 MONTHS AND HOPING TO HIT THAT SWEET SPOT AT 2 MG A DAY BEFORE THE BABY IS BORN.

Suboxone literally changed my life, from similar what you said on the beginning, a human wreck to fully functional individual, father, with a good job, repaired most of the things I was destroying for years, and I was on 10mg max

Thank you for sharing your experience sir. I've tapered off twice and currently on 8 mlgs. I'm about ready to do the organic route and find a support group as well. Wish me luck.

Don't even think or trust a doctor about suboxone telling you is the safest low opio medication. It's just a huge lie. You will get addicted without even knowing and the doctor will keep making his commission every month it prescribed to you,I was on it for more than 10 years and thank God I just got out of it by a special treasure from a doctor called Wessman I belive he created it in Israel its called ANR CLINIC, they will clean you up in 6 hrs and you won't have any craving later on you will be free of opios or any narcotics for real.

You're gonna feel flashes of YOU coming back. The real you. Everything smelled more intense. With an added mental drag. Best thing I can recommend is get down to a speck and get as microscopic as you can. You're gonna go through being uncomfortable for a while. Definitely worth it

There is no secret you are going to go through it. That's just the way it is. Speck by spec

I went from 16 to 1 mg, and I take it in the evenings 1 time, and I've been down to 1mg for 8 months, I'm miserable 😢, I don't recommend taking it in the evening especially if you work physically hard as I do, I know if I switch to mornings I will go back up in dose and I can't do that, I'm just hanging on barley and the mental game on top of feeling so so bad is wild, but I'm not giving up, Aghhhh!!!! I got this !!!!!!

Please help me I’m desperate to get off

So heres my take guys. Herion is not easier to get off than suboxone. Most people that say this have never fully detoxed from herion. I think the statement could be true with methadone, and of course it could be true for someone whos taken amounts of suboxone that exceed the amount of herion they were on. Suboxone doesnt have near the life changing effects that herion has and it allows you to get into a place where you are stable and better prepared for withdrawel. The physical and mental withdrawel symptoms do last significantly longer, but are no where near as intense. You'll get there... don't feel bad about being on suboxone... in other words dont let guilt be the driving force in your sobriety. Take it as slowly as you need too if the taper is too intense... and find a dr that wants you to get off of suboxone.

Great work brother! God bless you! Thank you for your honesty and the video to help others.

Lots of help!!! Thanks! 👍👍

I got hooked on suboxone accidentally and it sucks so bad. Idk what to do.

I’ve been on subs for like 4 years before that heroin for about 3 and now I found out I am pregnant. I desperately want to get off of these my life is stable and I have a good job. I’m on 12 mg a day. I don’t want to have a baby that’s going through withdrawal. I’m scared.

I am on it too now and having a hard time quitting it I hope one day I can quit too

What are the benefits coming of methadone if everything in your life is going ok. 🤔

This is the most depressing video I’ve ever watched. I’m so glad that you got through everything.. some of the comments, below are fantastic!!! But my God, the way you tell the story It’s so very depressing. Try to inspire people tell them they can get their life back that they can do it. It’s hard, but it will be worth it.

YES WOW LISTEN I HAVENT been sick or got a Cold in all those years.this Drug is of the Dewil

It is in your bone fiber and in your cells. Beware of suboxone and buprenorfin.

Wow Thank you.am on buprenorfin thats the same.i have been on it for 13 years.and i want out.this Drug is the worse addition you can get in your body.thsnk you for sharing your testemoni. I will do the same and when i get to 2mg i will try kratum.and then Stop🇩🇰

I started at 6mg n 5 yrs later still on 6 tryed get off before went down 1 mgs a month my choosing n was so sick I threw it out after I got 2 mgs n had go back up. Still on 6 now. N I don't wanna be sick n restless legs n bad teeth anymore.. Never had such bad health idk.

It's good for me to hear how much harder to come off then I thought, I'm on methadone and I feel like it would at least better?

I've been on from 8mlg to .5mlg in 6 years. My MAT program is closing down and I have 3/4 of a strip left and I'm trying to taper off with tiny pieces. Unfortunately I can't lay down all day. I have 2 small children. It's so hard! If I can't show up for my kids than what the heck is the point? I need to get off this stuff. I have typical withdrawal symptoms like diarrhea, spine is on fire, muscle and bone ache. Headache. And unfortunately the protocol medicine for withdrawal that they gave me i.e. Muscle relaxer, visteral, and clonidine... This drugs may help in the pain but put me to sleep. Therefore I still can't completely show up for my kids. Any thoughts? I'm desperate to get off of this stuff My recovery is strong My support system is strong I'm a good mom and my life is balanced but this stuff I'm being forced to be off of it because my programs ending and I am also moving to another state in a few weeks we just bought a house in Indiana so we're moving from Florida to Indiana so that's another reason why I'm ready to get off of it. Any thoughts would be helpful as I feel like I'm in the dark but know that I am not alone. Your video was amazing I've watched it a few years ago and I'm watching it again cuz I have been wanting to get off Suboxone for so long. But in those years I was trying to taper off of it we can never actually completely come off because I got pregnant with my son who is now a year old and she would not let me come off of it while I was pregnant and then my cousin died and they (my NP sub prescriber) were worried that the stress would lead to relapse and just there was always a life event...

You are strong!! ❤

You still clean?

You rock brother. 😢wish you were a dr. Worked in addiction for years. Tried to speak this truth but was suppressed. You just made my day.

I started a couple days ago tapering down. Today I'm miserable at work, anyone got any suggestions

I like your house

Thanks, i'm on my way, i've cut off from 16mg to 8mg. Your testimony helped me. Stay strong

Your an absolute warrior,shame you had to suffer withdrawel.Its a thing of the past with brixadi and Sublocade.

Some additional advice, once you get to 2mg, stop the taper for a while, and just take 2mg for a few months, like really let yourself get used to it. I know it sounds crazy, but when I came off it in 2014, thats wat i had done and I barely felt it doing it that way.

Iv heard of ppl tapering down , and then using kratom to help with the rest , but can't take kratom for to long cuz it also can get addictive

AUSTIN IF YOU CAN SORT YOUR LIFE OUT, ANYONE CAN. YOU LOOK REALLY WELL, WELL DONE. 🎉
