Day 5 Suboxone - Sharing Something Wonderful

Hello everyone,

Today was day 5 of Suboxone, and I'm feeling something that is very nice, and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this as well. Today was a very different day for me. I felt a strange confidence the entire day. It was very subtle but refreshing. I just felt an ease over me that everything was going to be ok now. I noticed it more at work, because I have a very stressful job with a lot of responsibilities. Today everything was just ok, nothing really seemed to get to me, and everything felt manageable. Today was also the first day that I felt no withdrawals at all, in fact I felt physically better than normal. The entire day had a nice clarity to it as well, as if I could think slightly clearer.

I took antidepressants for years, but never experienced any benefits from them, but I've heard what the benefits were supposed to be, and today really fit what I was told I would receive with antidepressants, but never have.

I hope this continues and isn't some kind of side effect of the suboxone Well even if it is, I'm thankful for it. I've had lots of days where I would be manic, but this was nothing like the mania of unbalance, and I guess if I had to sum it up in one word I would have to use *peace*

I hope everyone is doing well. I think about all of you a lot, and I push warm thoughts of encouragement and love to each of you everyday many times...

Hi ssouthern,
I lived on lortab (norco, vicodin, etc.) for so many years. Taking Suboxone alleviates that feeling of guilt, not to mention the craving for the lortab! It's a winning combo Hang in there, take the Suboxone if it has been prescibed. If not, please give it a chance. I never thougt I would/could live without my lortab. I can't even describe how much better I feel on Suboxone - it makes lortab seem like taking an aspirin /Good luck!

Southern,

Please stay with it. I really doubted that it would work for me the first few days, and now there is no doubt. Some people it works for right away, and some it takes longer, but you will get there if you keep taking one day at a time.

Hi Southern, I been on suboxone since 08-14-08. I too didn't think I could live without my pills. But the first day of taking suboxone changed my life for the better. I still crave once in awhile but not like before. Don't give up! Love, Cathy
