Hi, Despite its effectiveness, Suboxone can also be addictive AND it produces similar withdrawal effects to other opioids if it is quit “cold turkey.” The symptoms can vary in severity and duration, depending on how long users have been taking Suboxone, as well as the dosage of the drug. Generally, most physical withdrawal symptoms will subside after one month, and are the worst in the first 72 hours, but can last several months. Although I clearly understand your concern and anxiety, yet I don’t recommend you to stop taking Suboxone cold turkey. Give it time and taper slowly. Accept that withdrawal is part of the recovery process. Adopting a more positive outlook to the recovery process could help. You can practice strategies to cope with withdrawal, some can be done at home, while others are only available at a treatment facility. •Do regular Exercise as exercise boosts endorphins, which are the brain’s “feel good” chemicals. •Eat a balanced diet to provide you with ample energy and vital nutrients. •Try to increase social interaction. Talk out and spend ample time socializing as it will provide you with quality time to help your body cope with difficult time. Engage in activities that are relaxing. Apart from this, you can take some over-the-counter medications. A few common ones that can help you cope with Suboxone withdrawal symptoms include: •Non-prescription painkillers (Ibuprofen, aspirin or paracetamol) •Anti-nausea medications (Pepto-Bismol) •Stomach settling remedies (Ginger ale) •Antacids (Tums) •Anti-diarrheals (loperamide) •Multivitamins.
