Wow this was 7 years ago. I am sure you don't even have a channel anymore, but I wanted to say this has been the best advice I have heard that hasn't terrified me. I have watched many and they all are so fear based. I am an older female that was put on suboxone after a massive brain anurysum that ruptured, Anyway, I wan't off so bad and my doctor discourages me and doesn't even know how to wean me off so I am gonna start doing it myself and I am frightened!
Don’t get discouraged be encouraged! Thank you brother! You seriously have helped so many people with these videos. You relating means the world to someone who may be lacking proper support, someone in need of a new face, or someone just willing to listen to someone different. I hope you are still doing good and going strong.
@@GoodPennyYHWHsaves I have so many questions but not for here. Are u on messenger or on his Facebook friends list that I could search you on? Of course if you aren't comfortable doing so, I would respect that! 😌
@@GoodPennyYHWHsaves At some point, if u feel up to talking I have some questions. I spoke to him about 1mo prior to his passing. Lots of unanswered questions...
Thanks for the helpful video. I’m on day 13 suboxone withdrawal 24mg for 2 years no taper jump. Yes it’s crazy. But I’m feeling better each day. Its doable
Jack Estes still clean? That’s an insane amount to jump from. I did that once and ended up in the er. Ever since I’ve been stuck on 16mg a day and gun shy from that experience
Hi Brian, thank you for posting this video your so positive and encouraging. I've been on suboxone for almost 10 years and have very slowly tappered to .5 ish a day but sometimes twice a day for the past couple of months and it is all in the mind bc I'm just so scarred to make the jump and working full-time. I feel that I've gotten down to such a low amount that I'm praying it won't be that bad. I do exercise a couple times a week and am pretty healthy. But 10 years in sept F.. that I'm so done. A little more taper and I'll have to take that jump. I refuse to listen to the negative videos bc they give doubt when i know i can be free of this. I could listen to you talk all day, it really has helped! Thanks again maybe you can do a video about taking that jump and the amounts of tappering. Idk. Hoping i will do it in the next week or two!
K C How did it go? Was you able to make the jump? It’s so in your mind. The anxiety is torture until you do it and then you wonder why did I not do this so much sooner. Hope it worked out well for you.
Thanks you for all your knowledge and or experience. Super helpful, I’m starting my detox tomorrow so I’m ready mentally from this video alone. Thanks again
I can't shake this lethargy man I had 60 days clean fucked up for 2 weeks at 4mg a day then quit again now at day 20 off. Can't wait just to have mentality to do simple tasks.
badass1g your not doomed brother. You will get through this I promise. I am now 2 years off everything. It wasn’t easy, but I survived and am better because of it.
@@brianfreberg9658 i feel that way a lil I was making progress got down to 1mg and I just couldn't acclimate was losing to much sleep bumped it up to 2 cause I was just in this dead space was thinking about mega dose vitamin c to make it easier and it ki da helped but ur right the stress is holding me back i have three dogs live by myself so its been 2 much thinking about selling moving in with my parents and taking some time off to recoup eliminate alot of stress of taking care of a full house unfortunately id have to give up 1 of my 3 dogs 2 do so thanks 4 the advice
J E im on 28 days I see you wrote this 4 months ago I have no energy I dread doing anything I push myself like he just said a led suit how long till u felt energy
Day 12...I can’t stop eating. My appetite is back full force. I still can barely go to the bathroom. My restlessness is worse every night. I hate my husband. Help!! Please someone tell me when this is going to stop.
brian freberg thank you!! My day has been the worst so far BUT I keep telling myself the easiest day was the day before the worst. So maybe today is the worst day before the best.
@@brickdrums2671 it does get soooooo much better. Your life will belong to you again and that's priceless. Don't worry about your dad. He may not understand and that's okay. This is all you and your rocking it
Hey pal. Going from 2 strips a day to a quarter strip the last year. Want to get off. Can you offer any advice please? I want to be completely off. Thanks in advance
I've been on 16mg of suboxone for 30days & will be getting off soon. How is the beginning of withdrawals? Going cold turkey no tapering. Thanks for the Vids!! New to RUclips vlogs. 😊
Laura Milburn the sooner you get off it the better. it's not easy and I'm not going to lie to you . but it's definitely doable. I am now going on 6 months clean from all substances
Laura Milburn Most likely you will not be getting off soon!!!!! I was on 16 mg. for 3 years and doctor would not tapper me down. I finally went cold turkey and 5 weeks off and 2 days ago i felt. Like i was just starting the withdraws all over again. Its rough!!!! I also started a new job at 9 days off and that was/is HELL speacially being a high voltage electrician, but i had no choice i have a wife to take care of..... Make up your mind and go all the way thru it!!! Its only time and time will not stop!!!!! Good luck!!!
What are your options? If you read the horror stories you'll think it's terrible, if you read the stories where people taper to sub 1mg and get to a stage you can walk away after proper councelling and get back to a normal life then you may think it's for you. All I can say is if you're snorting pills or shooting heroin and you think you should stay away from subs because it's going to be hard, consider what's going to be hard no matter what.

Great Video buddy. Thank yoU so
Much. Your helping people in a great way. Keep it up & Congrats.
Thanks for the helpful video. I’m on day 13 suboxone withdrawal 24mg for 2 years no taper jump. Yes it’s crazy. But I’m feeling better each day. Its doable

Day 12 jumper at about 4mg. Today is the worst day. I thought it would be over by now. This is such a rollercoaster.
About day 30 the feelings are real but not enough to go back. Im so grateful for these videos. They always help me to understand what is going on.

I don't know where you are these days, but your vids are helping me SOOOOO much right now
You are so informative! Thank you for sharing 🙂
Day 33 and the rest of my life to go...
Congratulations , keep It up
Very good advice on stress!
Thanks you for all your knowledge and or experience. Super helpful, I’m starting my detox tomorrow so I’m ready mentally from this video alone. Thanks again
You don't have to thank me. I'm glad the videos helped.
I'm at 30 days. It's b even a rough ride. Thank. You. I. Needed to hear this❤️
You should be a life coach. Love your vids
Thanks!! I've been on 8mgs for 2 days now. So far so good using some of your recommendations.
interesting you're going through some paws. thanks for sharing, Brian! luv your vids and have recommended them to many 💛☺👏
great recommendations with reducing the stress and not letting yourself being in stressful situations...Bravo!
yessss...Star Trek! 💚
Thank you Brian , for everything
Michael Whiley you are so welcome brother
Here's my biggest motivation...I will NOT have put myself through 4 wks taper and 20 days clean to EVER be beholden to this crap ever again!!!
Great video! Good job.👌💪
Thanks buddy. Anything helps!!👍
That’s exactly how I felt the fist couple weeks coming off buprenorphine...like wearing a lead suit. Perfect analogy.
I can't shake this lethargy man I had 60 days clean fucked up for 2 weeks at 4mg a day then quit again now at day 20 off. Can't wait just to have mentality to do simple tasks.
"paws is real, we see paws happen everyday, but I dont trust paws" - plain ol simple garak from an alternate universe
Eggs also a good source of protein so are beans.
Thank you. On day 31 ;)
Damn I can’t even get below 2 mg per day let alone this long term paws you’re talking about. Ugh!!! I’m doomed
badass1g your not doomed brother. You will get through this I promise. I am now 2 years off everything. It wasn’t easy, but I survived and am better because of it.

I have been using Faster EFT. You can overcome many of the crappy emotions that come with withdrawal.
What is faster EFT
So informative..Im on day 26 days no sub
J E im on 28 days I see you wrote this 4 months ago I have no energy I dread doing anything I push myself like he just said a led suit how long till u felt energy
Day 12...I can’t do this anymore
How long where you on them for?
Day 12...I can’t stop eating. My appetite is back full force. I still can barely go to the bathroom. My restlessness is worse every night. I hate my husband. Help!! Please someone tell me when this is going to stop.
Don't give up. It gets so much better. I promise you. Your halfway there

Your husband not your dad lol I miss spoke
@@brickdrums2671 by the way I ate like a pig. I gained a bunch of weight. I was very skinny. Your body is beginning to wake up and beg for nutrients
Hey pal. Going from 2 strips a day to a quarter strip the last year. Want to get off. Can you offer any advice please? I want to be completely off. Thanks in advance
Feel like I am plateauing at this quarter
Best advice to get off it. Dont take it
I've been on 16mg of suboxone for 30days & will be getting off soon. How is the beginning of withdrawals? Going cold turkey no tapering. Thanks for the Vids!! New to RUclips vlogs. 😊
Laura Milburn the sooner you get off it the better. it's not easy and I'm not going to lie to you . but it's definitely doable. I am now going on 6 months clean from all substances

I am off have been for 30days only stayed on for 90 days I didn't want to be on for to long.
Laura Milburn 16 mugs is high. Why not titrate down to 1 mg or less before even thinking about it?
Laura Milburn are you still off it? Did you cold turkey from 8 mg? I can’t get below 2 mg for the life of me.
Wow you’ve lost a ton of weight
Question if you have a moment. My doctor wants me to go on suboxone. would you say not to?
What are your options? If you read the horror stories you'll think it's terrible, if you read the stories where people taper to sub 1mg and get to a stage you can walk away after proper councelling and get back to a normal life then you may think it's for you. All I can say is if you're snorting pills or shooting heroin and you think you should stay away from subs because it's going to be hard, consider what's going to be hard no matter what.
Don’t do it.. it’s a sentence
It can save your life but only if it’s your only option. It’s good and bad. It depends on you and your situation.
Don't do it
hope you didnt do it!
Day 34
Congratulations
