Was on suboxone for 3-4 years. I always heard the nightmare stories of getting off. Well I tapered down and have been off for a little over a month. Week 1 and 2 I wanted to crawl out of my skin. I thought I saw the light, got sleep and the restless legs calmed down after week 2.

Now a little over a month out, it feels like I’m dying. I work outside all day and have for years I can barely make it through the day. I got really sick today, my skin is crawling, I can’t get comfortable, I’m exhausted and can’t sleep.

Anyone else experience this? Are second waves of withdrawal normal? I didn’t expect to sleep for six months or so but I did not expect to feel like I’m dying worse than when I initially dropped it.

Is there anything I can do? Or supplements I can take? Taking it easy is not an option I’m the sole provider for a family of three, soon to be four. I just need to make it but today scared me. I overheated despite all the electrolytes and water I consume. My body seems like it is refusing to hold water. I’m back soaking the bed at night and all day just pouring sweat.

First year software engineering student here. I’m just wondering if anyone with some real skin in the game has any advice on what worked for them really polishing y’all’s skill set beyond the class room. For example I’m pretty familiar with Python at this point, I would say I have the fundamentals down and I understand the language but that’s only the start.

What now? What resources do y’all use to start applying real-world skills? How often do yall practice? What was a waste of time when you look back? What should you have done more of? Etc etc

I made the mistake of getting lazy my first summer and I forgot a lot that was really easy before then I have a family and a lot of stuff stacked up I didn’t do so it was easy to excuse not practicing. I say that to say I learned consistency is important for retention via personal experience, valuable lesson, I got too confident
