Buprenorphine temgesic
Common Questions and Answers about Buprenorphine temgesic
suboxone
No, Temgesic is way, way weaker than sub. One sub is equal to 40 or 20 Temgesic ( temgesic is .2 or .4 MG Buprenorphine a sub is 8 MG) Also Temgesic is just Buprenorphine, Suboxone is Buprenorphine and Naloxone, however the naloxone doesn't really do anything in subs so idk why they even put it in there.
Eagle is correct, Cathy-- buprenorphine, Suboxone, and Subutex are all essentially identical. Buprenorphine has been around for 30 years; it used to be sold under the brand 'temgesic' in liquid form before being made as Suboxone, which is easier to dose. Buprenorphine is used for pain, mostly in Europe-- a skin patch in the UK called 'buTrans' releases 5-20 micrograms of bupe per hour through the skin.
Six years ago, in 2003, Suboxone became available in the US.
Sorry Vicki595 last pot was meant for both yousrelf and Roselaaa.
Cizdol, Subutex, Suboxone, Zubsolv, Bunavail (available as buprenorphine HCl alone or buprenorphine and naloxone HCl; typically used for opioid addiction), Temgesic (sublingual tablets for moderate to severe pain), Buprenex (solutions for injection often used for acute pain in primary-care settings), Norspan and Butrans (transdermal preparations used for chronic pain.
Again I wish you the very best and hope you'll find better pain control. Please keep in touch.
Buprenorphine is available in Europe as Temgesic......prescribed mostly for pain.
ve been on Temgesic (Subutex), only 3 (.2 micrograms) tabs a day. The last week before stopping I was down to 1.5 - 2 tablets. I went cold turkey off of the Temgesic 4 days ago and have barely slept at all!!!! I actually feel OK during the day, I can function and I can make it through this, but now it's 5am an day 4 and I still haven't slept!!! I know I can do this, but how or when am I ever going to be able to sleep????
I am in medical hospital and they want me to detox off methadone with help of buprenorphine does anyone know about this drug or used it . I am scared and need feedback ASAP.
Can anyone help me with some knowledge of this medication????? I have a relative who's suffered badly for years and tried every clinic and therapy and medication and nothing helped till now. He's lately been prescribed this buprenorphine and he swears it's just about given him his life back. My question is it a narcotic, therefore addictive. Does it have the nasty side effects of oxy or other pain meds.

I've been on Suboxone for just over 3yrs and my cramps are wicked every morn and sometimes my fingers get cramps and lock up and I gotta pry em open my calf cramps are so intense like crushing in a vice,my wife wakes up to me screaming but thankfully she knows to straighten it and bend my toed&foot toward my knee and I'm gonna ask my Dr about it as I'm on a program I'm also on 1mg Clonazepam which being a benzo should relax my muscles now in the beginning
I was taking 2-3 Temgesic 0.2 mcg pills for the last 4 months, the last 5 days I have been completely clean, NO PILLS!! I am not having any withdrawals, good energy, no depression, feeling pretty good. BUT, I can't sleep much at night, I have the restless leg syndrome thing going on. I don't want to take any more pills EVER, but I'm worried the lack of sleep in my first trimester will harm the baby and I'll have a miscarriage.
Suboxone contains a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is an opioid medication. Buprenorphine is similar to other opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin however, it produces less euphoric ("high") effects and therefore may be easier to stop taking.
Naloxone blocks the effects of opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin.
The flip side of all of this is that tolerance reaches a maximum at about 4 mg of buprenorphine, and further increase in dose of buprenorphine does not cause substantial increase in tolerance. Tolerance and withdrawal are two sides of the same coin; the lack of withdrawal going from 32 to 8 mg of buprenorphine is consistent with no significant change in tolerance across that range.
So in my opinion, being on 32 vs 4 mg of Suboxone doesn't raise your tolerance.
Thanks Jaybay! I did know about the actions and uses of buprenorphine and .... and the fact that Suboxone has the additional naloxone component to prevent injection abuse.
I didn't know that Fentanyl could "knock bupe right off its pins." You're right, there must be more but I can't even find at you are saying about Fentanyl on line.
Suboxone is the brand name for a medication consisting of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a thebaine derivative with powerful analgesia approximately 20-40x more potent than morphine. Buprenorphine is a partial agonist and antagonist of the opioid receptors in the central nervous system which means that when its molecule binds to a receptor, it will transduce only a partial response in contrast to a full agonist such as morphine.
