oxycontin

Avatar m tn I want to ween with suboxones so i picked up ten of them. I understand i will have so rough days but how would you taper with this many? I can get more subs but would like to see if i can do it with this amount. Do i suck on these or eat them? Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar m tn I was taking oxycodone for back pain and when I was done months later I withdrawaled from it and got right on suboxone. now if I was told I would withdrawal from the oxycodone I would have never taken it in the first place but I went to suboxone and wasn't told about withdrawal from that either actually I was told that because of wening I would not go though that. But I quit subs cold turkey and my mind is not completely normal but then again how do I know what normal is.
1253584 tn?1332877954 Hey there. I'm not familiar with methodone to suboxone transition. I started suboxone coming off oxycodone years ago. Obviously your suboxone doc knows your currently on methadone right?? I am pretty sure you have to be completely off methadone for a few days before starting the suboxone, but check with the doctor first obviously. If the suboxone works the way its suppose to -- i.e.
994981 tn?1249564028 Your other alternative, obviously, is to go cold turkey. After trying unsuccessfully to get off of Suboxone a few times, I went back on Oxycodone and am now planning to go cold turkey on Monday, so we're sort of in the same boat (I'm not encouraging anyone to use Oxycodone here - if you're on Suboxone, don't go back on Oxycodone - all it takes is one time of taking too much and you can die.
Avatar f tn ) I do like the sounds of suboxone over methadone, but I am afraid because I have read that you can have bad withdrawals from suboxone too? Also, suboxone treatment is a LOT harder to find in my city than methadone. I think there is maybe 2 doctors that prescribe it. Is it true that you can take carry doses home? We do have jobs and I go to school, so going into a clinic daily to take a dose of methadone would be hard. We really need to quit, it is too expensive. I need some guidance.
405201 tn?1201775709 I took one on my first day, and for some reason i was brave and have only taken 2, and now im on day 17...let me tell you, I FEEL LIKE ****. Can i just randomly take my suboxone even though i havnt been!? And how much!?
Avatar f tn I do want to do this without suboxone, and I think I can, so, when I taper more, time will tell, but I sure do appreciate your support here. I feel more alert tonight… I’ve been so so tired & depressed for the last couple years, I'm already seeing payoffs from the taper. Thanks for sharing your plan ShoShosays no, that is interesting to me, sounds like something I would do… and knowledge definitely is power!
Avatar n tn I have been taking hydrocodone for about 3 years and for the last year have been taking Oxycodone. I really want to stop, but when I don't take the oxy, I get the sweats and chills and my body hurts so bad. I take about 160mg a day. My question is, are these symptoms of withdrawl? and How long will this last?
Avatar f tn I took my last 15mg of oxycodone and then waited until I was in withdrawal (about 8 hrs) to take the suboxone (2mg) I felt like it helped the w/d symptoms for a while, but started feeling bad again after 3 or 4 hours so I took another 1mg sub ( half a strip). I still don't feel that great and I don't know what to do. Do I just need to take more sub or did I not wait long enough after using the last oxy for the sub to work? when will i feel better?
Avatar m tn You do not need to be in full blown, ready to kill yourself withdrawals to take suboxone. I normally would wait 24 hrs after taking a short acting opioid unless I was already really nauseous, had diarrhea or having the hot/cold flashes. If it was within 24 hours I would take a very, VERY small amount of sub to see my reaction. I have precipitated withdrawal before and it is like going from beginning stages to the third day in about 10 minutes.
Avatar f tn thank you so much for your response. I would never take suboxone and opioids together as I know how sick i would become. I will have to stay on the opioids right now until the pain decreases from the surgery then make a decision about whether I want to go the whole suboxone route again. I hate taking suboxone then everytime I have to have some sort of a procedure I have to detox and go through the whole thing again.
Avatar m tn Definitely find out the right way to take suboxone. I'm sure someone will be on in a bit and will explain it better. But I know if you take it too soon, you go into precipitated withdrawals and from what I've read about them, they are horrific. You need to be so many hours free of the narcotic in your case oxy, and be in a certain state of withdrawals, otherwise you'll find yourself in real trouble. Also, from what I understand, suboxone is a program, not just a pill.
Avatar f tn s off the street when my script ran out early sometimes. I decided to clean myself up. Deal with the pain. And sign up for suboxone with a local doctor. I was up to a point where I was taking on OP40 in the morning, and OP40 at night, and all throight the day insuffulating 15 mg lines of Blue oxy IR 10 times a day or so. I was using approximately 240mg of oxycodone per day. No other drugs in my life. Nothing ever. Marijuana three times in my life. Ivy League education with an MBA.
Avatar m tn I take suboxone per my prescription. I had to take a pre-employment hair drug test. The test showed positive for oxycodone. I have not taken oxycodone. Can the buprenorphine-naloxone cause a false positive for oxycodone? I have seen that is can on an urine test but what about a hair test? If so, any recommendations on how to work through it to get it cleared? Thanks.
Avatar n tn Day 2 and I feel sick...If I take suboxone during my 5 day sickness then stop all pills after 5th day will I have to go through this again?
Avatar f tn His intake is 180 of oxycontin and about 20 to 30mg of oxycodone IR a day. Basically I need to know when he can take the oxycontin without crushing them to work correctly as thet were intended. For without the instant "high" so to speak. I am assuming that he will have w/d symptoms if his brain is not flooded with oxycontin on a steady basis.
Avatar m tn I cut the strips into mostly 8ths but also 2 4ths to start the first two days off. I felt fine the whole time while on suboxone (2 weeks) but a day or two after i came off of them i started feeling the oxycodone withdrawal again. My question is does suboxone just mask the withdrawals or do they actually eliminate them? I know im not having withdrawals from the suboxone because a year prior to this i tried it with one 8mg strip that lasted me 8 days and the same thing happened. Please help.
Avatar f tn I don't think another pain doc will take you on if you go in asking for more oxycodone. What else do you do for the pain? Pills alone are not the way to go. There are gels, patches, ibuprofen, PT, procedures, etc. When you use several things together, you will usually get better pain relief. And of course, it's unlikely to ever get pain free. Snorting or shooting your meds in an IV is putting you on a very dangerous path that will not end well.
Avatar n tn A person can only take so much and that is why so many suboxone users end up giving up. I believe when a person is suffering for too long there should be breaks where a short acting opiate given when they feel like giving up. There needs to be places that only treat suboxone detox. Suboxone is very strong and it can make a person turn into a zombie and that is not living.
Avatar m tn m taking 3 or 4 mg of Suboxone everyday on my 14th day, can I stop the suboxone all together and will I feel okay? Is 2 weeks of low doses 2-3 times a day of subs, long enough to get rid of withdrawal? Should I continue for one more week with subs? I don't want to be dependent on subs though. I want to take ZERO pain meds.
Avatar m tn If you can answer these questions we can help you come up with a good taper plan. I once tapered in the past and felt little to no withdrawals. Some say cold turkey is the best way to just get it over with fast. It all depends on the individual. This forum is a great place for support! Best of luck to you!
Avatar n tn My dose is 16 mg a day and sone days i take 8others i take 16 and u can feel the difference between the two. Im not arguing just what my dr said. Ur post was a little confusing thts all. And for the OP i woyld suggest a slow taper even if its a week of the lower dose then drop again for another week and so on bc the wd u are going to go thru is going to b VERYYYYYY bad!!! Id like to see u succeed in this not fail bc u cant take the wd. Please consider what everyone is saying! !!
1459031 tn?1285904365 I take suboxone and I take it as my doctor prescribed. I am on 16mgs a day. I was told to take 8mgs in am when I get up and then again 4mgs in the afternoon and then 4mgs in the evening. He asked me when I felt I needed to use and he went by the same times I used pills when I was taking the vic and soma. You do not wait until you feel withdraw to take them again. The med is designed so that you don't go through withdraws except in the beginning.
Avatar n tn I have been on a high dose of oxycodone for Lupus for the past 8 months. I take up to 150 MG a day of oxycodone, I am trying to get off because I feel as if I don't need the meds anymore, I have found a different non-narcotic to help ease the pain. I am not pain free but the oxycodone is worse than the pain I am in. I can't seem to get off the oxt though, I am experiencing extremely bad withdrawals, and I can't seem to get any help from my doctors.
Avatar m tn Would an individual who successfully completed opiate abuse treatment be able to pursue a career in medicine? I became addicted to oxycodone after being treated for a serious injury. My addiction last about 6 months. When I realized the mess I was in, I got help immediately. I completed a Suboxone treatment program. I haven't had any oxycodone or any other partial opiate since late 2007, and have been free from Suboxone since summer 2008.
