Question: Questions about suboxone withdrawal?
(Posted by: on 2012-02-03 12:27:53)
My fiancé has been going to a rehab clinic & getting suboxone for about 3 years now (for oxycontin addiction). We are getting married in April and he has decided this would be a good time to get off the suboxone (of course I am all for it because after all the research I have done, I have concluded 3 years is wayyyyy too long- it is supposed to take about 6 months to finish this type of program). Well he has been doing things the “right way” instead of quitting cold turkey, he has been tapering down. I don’t know much about the doses & things like that. Today he said he took his last pill. He has already started feeling crappy (withdrawal). He said he has a headache, body ache and can’t sleep. I don’t know how to help him because I have NO IDEA what he is going through. I have done a ton of research but I have never had an addiction myself so it is different. Also, I am afraid because he said the suboxone was his "security blanket " (why his fiance and child aren't enough of a "security blanket ", I don't know) and he is saying he is doing this for me. I am afraid he might go back to drugs and I will feel like it's my fault. Any advice? |
