Insomnia, withdrawal & Suboxone
Hi all,
M has recently tapered off of his Suboxone, but thinks he did it too quickly too soon (it was not obtained though a Dr.) He has made an appointment to see a doctor to get some more, legitimately. He has not relapsed, but says he's very tempted because he can't sleep. He told me previously that this is what troubled him the most in the past when he tried to quit. I guess I'm just not knowledgable about withdrawal symptoms - is not being able to sleep common? Keeping in mind that my point of reference is movies and after-school specials, I had always thought of opiate withdrawal as sickness, like sick to your stomach or something. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks for sharing,
Daisy
