kellybell, I can't comment on the effect that taking the suboxone might be having on your withdrawal -- I understand that it and methadone take a lot longer to get out of your system. So, my input is probably irrelevant. Take it for what it's worth.
I had a heavy habit when I quit. I didn't take anything for the withdrawals, and in about ten days, I was over the worst of them, though some (occasional chills out of nowhere, lingering RLS) continued in a milder form for awhile.
However, when I would run out and go into withdrawals, then get "a little bit" to make me feel better temporarily -- then go into withdrawals all over again, it seemed to reset the clock. If I "got well" three or four days into it, when it was at its worst, then quit again (involuntarily), I'd be facing another "at its worst" three or four days later. So, I'd strongly urge you not to be ingesting opiates in any form at this point. You'll only prolong the process.
Peace & Love,
Sugah
