suboxone

Avatar m tn Why are you switching to Percocet after taking Sub, which leans toward helping you get off of the Percocet?
Avatar n tn its me your doctor is helping you get off subs with oxys? Did he tell you to take 14 in one day ? There will be know no way to aviod wds sooner or later your going to have to go threw some tapering will help a bit but will not get rid of them altogether .
Avatar f tn im confused on the type of pills Small round blue pills ? if he has suboxone do a 21 day taper and stick it through. Wait 24 hrs after he takes the "Percocet" until you take a suboxone save clonidine until after all suboxone is gone.
Avatar n tn In other words, taking the percocet can actually cause withdrawal like symptoms if you have used suboxone within the last 4 - 5 days. Because you are on a low dose of suboxone, I hope the side effects aren't too bad. Best of luck!
Avatar n tn Ok well here is my story.. have an addiction to percocet but have been doing well..Started taking suboxone a year ago..Came off 1/4 of a 2mg and was feeling pretty bad with withdrawls ..to my surprise!! I was told the small dosage I was on, I would feel very lil wd's.. yeah right! anyway i read somewhere that taking percocet will help with the wd's..i know..STUPID!! So I took percocet 4 a week, and 2 pills 4 x a day.. of 10/325.. Now tis is 48 hours and I am in terrible wd's!!
Avatar f tn How is your pain right now from the injury? I can not believe they sent you home with percocet knowing your addiction to opiates?? You need to get off these quick before it spirals again. Ask your doc for a nonnarcotic pain medication like naxopren or something. Than get back on suboxone if that worked so well for you- I believe it saved my life personally! :) However, first off make sure you do this all throuhg a doctor and second off I would only suggest suboxone treatment for short term.
1337431 tn?1280955899 I just wanted to make sure that you know you can not take narcotics of any kind when taking the suboxone. It will make you very ill.
Avatar f tn My question to you is whether you trust your doctor and if not, why not? You need to decide if you want to continue to take his/her advice. Nothing in what the doctor recommended was questionable, so what is it that leads you to be nervous? Is s/he not open to your questions? Does s/he not listen to you? Does s/he not answer clearly? You need to decide why you trust internet populace more than your own physician.
Avatar f tn DO NOT MIX suboxone with Percocet! If you take the sub first the percs won't have any effect. But if you take the percs then sub you will go into withdrawal immediately. I started on the pills and moved to the film with no problem. Suboxone is buprenorphine and nalaxone, whether in pill or strip form. So if you've been taking the pill form of sub the strip is no different. If you are allergic to nalaxone get with your doctor and maybe subutex is a better option for you.
1536087 tn?1292526415 You know this is dangerous. The doctor is the only person who can help you. Do not go cold turkey! Do you have suboxone without a prescription,also? Just call the doctor and explain everything. It's the only thing you can do now. We can offer support but we can't advise you about the pills you take. Good luck...
Avatar n tn Now I did forget to mention, if you take a percocet, and then take a suboxone to soon after, you will go into immediate w/d's, because the suboxone actually fights the other opiate in your system, and knocks it off of your receptors, but then the subxone does not attatch itself to the receptors either, and it is what they call precipiated withdrawl's. You can read about that on suboxone's site www.suboxone.
Avatar n tn You have been on perocet for 5 years and only take one Percocet a day? You DEFINITELY do not want to switch to suboxone. He wants you to use it for pain management? Can't even believe that would be suggested.
Avatar f tn Hi, I was on a high dose of methadone and I am using suboxone to deal with the prolonged withdrawals. I don't know if it would be smart to get on to suboxone to help with the 3 or 6 percocet you are currently taking. There Will be unconfortability, but I think withdrawal from suboxone to be worse than the percs. You may want to consult your Dr as he is the one prescribing the Percs.
Avatar m tn Yes, you took that Sub too soon after the Percocet. Generally, you must be in moderate wd's before you take suboxone. I'm not sure why you did this and I don't recommend taking anymore sub. You'll just have to struggle through while the sub wears off and it may be several more hours from now. It has a longer half life than most opiates other than methadone. Also, if you decide to take some more Percocet, you may not feel any effect because the sub will block it.
Avatar m tn hello and welcome to the forum and as far as methods there are alot of different methods out there but for you cold turkey along with some vitamins will be the best way because you were on a very low dose of meds and not for a very long time either so withdrawal wont be to bad and wont last long at all last time i went cold turkey i went from 350-400 mg of oxy a day so i was taking more than u took all day at once and the physical withdrawal lasted around 8 days so i would imagine for you it wou
Avatar n tn Ok, first of all you are not suppost to take the suboxone untill you are in a withdrawl state, that is why u will feel worse withdrawal symptoms when u take the subs too soon! I think you should get back on the suboxone and not take the tramadol. How long were you taking the subs? Why did you start taking the tramadol right away? that doesnt really make sense, are you ready to be clean?
893913 tn?1245510893 Hi there!!! Ok....first of all. I am so proud of you. I am on the same thing!!! I was taking 7 pills.....4 to 5 times a DAY. Thst's 28 to 35 pills a day. How many are you taking in a day???? I have tried sooooooo many times to get OFF this ****. I couldn't.....because I couldn't take how I was feeling. So you are sooooo much more stronger then I am. Nobody knew I was on these. Not even my husband and 4 kids. I drained our bank accounts. We are in soooo much debt.
1085335 tn?1256444845 How much and how long have you been abusing percocet? Methadone is like suboxone in terms of help with witthdrawl but is also addicting and used for pain so that would be something to think about also. Only a doctor can tell you wich route would be best. I wouldn contact a suboxone doctor, the methadone clinic, your primary and think long and hard before makin any decison to go on any other med. Addiction is a disease and its best to find seek treatment from those who are qualified to treat it.
Avatar m tn Consult your Dr. 1st to see if you can medically handel a C.T. detox, and if you can ask them to prescribe you those 2 meds., and JUST DO IT! Your Dr. should have no problem prescribing you these meds. in a small Qty.. I suggest you change your M375 to something else. You want to stop thinking in the Drug Mentality completely if you want to stay clean. I know I've been clean 6 yrs. now. You will even "have" to cut ties with some people, but what is more important to you!?
Avatar n tn How long and how much can you take before addiction sets in? I can not go through another withdrawl... A week????
Avatar m tn The half-life of suboxone is 37 hours. So when you take one in 37 hours half of it is left and in another 37 hours there is one-fourth and in another 37 hours one-eighth.. You add up the fractions from each dose you've taken times the milligrams to get an estimate of how much is in your system. ----------. By the way, here is an example of the math on that if anybody is interested: Let's say you take four 8mg tablets, one every 12 hours.
Avatar m tn This pill blocks the opium that is in the percs and even if you want to waste you money on them and take them while you are on this you will not get the high from them it just blocks the receptors in the brain. I called it a miracle drug.
Avatar f tn What dose were you on when you stopped the Sub and when was it? You may be able to taper off with the Percocet that you have...instead of going back on the Sub. I guess it just depends...
Avatar f tn 8mg is a large dose to just stop from and i feel u need some help with you. Do you have any family or friends nearby that you can ask for help from? Take the immodium for the #2, i had it for a month!!! Take a good multivitamin, potassium, and vit C! Your going to need some down time for this. Technically you are supposed to wean VERY SLOWLY off of the subs to avoid w/d. I didnt do it that way either....Hot epsom salt bathes are a must for the ****** creepy crawly feelings and rest!
Avatar f tn At this point i get i dont have to take every 4 hrs, especially after experiencing the suboxone. Can i stop suboxone and go to percocet....
Avatar m tn i feel stuck right now in this darkness, i take norco because of pain and not to get high, i have fibromyalga, herniated discs, chronic pain but still i hate being physically addicted to this pill, i know suboxone does help with some people with pain as well with the withdrawel. please anyone out ther if you could help me i would appreciate it.
Avatar n tn if you are not abusing you pain meds then i don't think suboxone is the right choice at all for you. it is mainly used for relapse prevention. it's does little for pain. i have a friend who is on pain med yet does not abuse. when he becomes tolerant, he has his doctor switch him to a different medicine rather than up his dose. he absolutely refuses to be put on oxycontin. it is my understanding that withdrawing from suboxone is very very hard and long lasting.
1462755 tn?1286048715 Welcome, I do not recommend going on a Suboxone program to come off of Percocet, but that is just my opinion. As you stated, you will suffer withdrawal from the Suboxone eventually and it is far worse than the opiate withdrawal you are suffering now. If you are still going to go on the program, please do research about it, for one, and take that time to get your life together .. get therapy .. find a support group ...
