Withdrawal symptoms from suboxone are the worst. But I have seen some not so legal ways online to avoid these symptoms. I don’t however suggest trying them without asking your doctor.

Getting off of suboxone wasn’t hard for me, I knew I had to be done. I didn’t want to have a baby addicted to drugs. The decision was made for me. The detox was pretty rough for months but I knew it was the right thing to do.

Suboxone consists of 2 ingredients: Naloxone which is an opioid antagonist that blocks the ef-fects of opioid drugs, and Buprenorphine, which has the same effects as opioid drugs like heroin is used in medication assisted treatment to help people reduce or quit their use of heroin or other opiates like morphine says samosa . Suboxone hits the brain the same way strong drugs like heroin but is much less addictive. Bu-prenorphine, is considered a partial opioid agonist. That means it produces a milder form of the effects produced opioids. One of the advantages of using Suboxone is that it cannot be taken to achieve a full opioid effect making it more difficult to abuse than other forms of medication as-sisted treatment like methadone. The benefits of Suboxone are lower potential for abuse, greater accessibility, and higher success rate in the treatment of opiate dependence. While there are still dangers in using Suboxone like possible side effects that may include mouth troubles, head-aches, dizziness, numbness, tingling, vomiting, constipation, and medical attention is needed right away for things like fainting, shallow breathing, and having a hard time waking up. Suboxone can be hard to get off because withdrawal can last for as long as a month, and in-clude nausea, vomiting, headaches, muscle aches, insomnia, digestive distress, anxiety, drug cravings, fever chills sweating and so on. The opioid dependence that can build up over long term use is very difficult to beat because long term opiate addiction causes up regulation of the receptors, or an increase in the number of receptors. The more opiates one uses, the more receptors one develops and higher the dose of opioids is needed to occupy those receptors. This is why you should only use and stop medications like Suboxone under a doctors care. Tapering is often use to minimize Suboxone withdrawal symp-toms, and the longer schedules increase the users odds of success and decreases chances of relapse.
