Opiates are the worst to get off of. I myself have been trying to quit Suboxone for over a year now but if it's there, I'm taking it. And I can't afford to be sick from withdrawal so my only way out is tapering. But like I said, I have little self control. You are substituting the high with pot but you know what I think? It's way safer than opiates! However you say you're still not feeling good. I would seek therapy if I were you. When I quit drinking I became a total mess. Physically and mentally. I stopped taking care of myself and my home. My house looked like something from the tv show hoarders. I'm also bp2 and wasn't taking my meds though. My bf almost left me because he couldn't take the laziness and the filth anymore. And I refused to work. I just now got a job after 10 months of unemployment but it took a lot of work on my part. I had to get back on meds and stable again. I still get panic attacks though. But as I mentioned I'm still on suboxone just to keep me straight. That's my next hurdle. If only pot took away the withdrawal from that! But good for you for how far you've came so far. Opiates are very hard to kick! And you're lucky you didn't turn to suboxone. It's just a synthetic opiate that's being abused more and more lately. And the half life is twice as long so withdrawal symptoms lasts up to weeks. As far as the mental part, that's all you. I think if you're strong enough to overcome the physical part then you can see a therapist and maybe even get on an antidepressant if needed. Good luck to you!
