difference between suboxone and subutex

t have any withdrawels from it, only leftovers from your DOC. No difference between Subutex and Suboxone as far as strength and W/Ds. If you go past about 20 days on the Sub, you will end up addicted and need to do a very, very slow and low taper. So if I were you, I'd just do the 10 days or move on to about 3-4 month regimine. Good luck.

does anyone know the difference between subutex and suboxone? I am going to talk to my dr today and want to know what the difference is...

You cant take pain pills then a subutex or suboxone. Who told you to do that? Subutex and suboxone are to be used when coming off opiates and you must wait from the time of your last use of opiates and wait until your in withdrawal and wait until u cant take it anymore then you take the subutex and youll feel better in less than an hour.

I am not positive but I think the difference between subutex and suboxone is that there is naltrxone added into subutex so it can't be injected. The naltraxone is an opiate antiantaganist which would put you into immediate w/d as soon as you tried to inject it. If you take it as prescribed there should be no problems until you want to get off of it. The w/d is pretty nasty.

i can't take suboxone, i had terrible terrible side effects from the suboxone, and I wanted to try the subutex. but I'm having a really hard time trying to find a doctor in KY that prescribes subutex. I know there are, but I don't know which ones do, or what to do etc. If anyone has any information that would help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much.

subutex and suboxone are the SAME drug, buprenorphine, only difference is suboxone has naloxone in it to prevent abuse....most all doctors stick with suboxone after induction with subutex...its supposed to be easier to start induction with subutex, but i never took it, i just went right to suboxone...i didnt want anything i could eventually abuse if i wanted to...

I actually have a question, but its not really worth posting, what is the difference in suboxone and subutex? I know alot of ppl in my area that are on suboxone but noone on the other. Can anyone answer? Sorry to butt in on your post. . . Jess.

the only difference with suboxone and subutex is that suboxone has a added ingredient that makes for a less potential of abuse, and overdose. suboxone is safer and a better choice i believe.

Suboxone and subutex are pretty much the same EXCEPT one has naloxone in it and subutex doesn't.

suboxone and subutex are the same thing, except suboxone has naloxone in it to prevent abuse of it by IV drug users. suboxone and subutex are both made up of bupenorphine. they can both be used for pain as it is the bupenorphine that has the pain killing abilities , but suboxone is the more readily prescribed one, again so it cant be misuses or abused, it is the bupenorphine that has the ability to curb pain, curb drug addicts cravings and stop withdrawals.

I'm finding it hard to find good info on whether Subutex (Suboxone without Naloxone) will block the effects of Kratom. I realize Kratom isn't a true opiate, but does it work on the same receptors? I am 3 days off a .5 gram heroin habit per day and I used Kratom first for withdrawals (along with Xanax) then started taking small doses of Subutex. If the Kratom will work whilst taking subs, I would like to try that.

if you take suboxone with opiates still in you ur gonna get withdrawls the subutex acts like a bridge between taking dope and starting suboxone

There is some long running confusion here about the differences between suboxone and subutex. The primary reason why new inductees are advised to be in moderate withdrawals before taking thier first dose of suboxone/subutex is because the Buprenorphine itself can cause precipitated withdrawals. The naloxone is inert when consumed orally and is only activated when injected. So, to answer your question: It is no more ok to take subutex whilst on methadone than it is to take suboxone. Same/Same.

Ditto, with one comment.... the perception is that it is easier to abuse, but in reality the difference is minimal. Most people who abuse Suboxone or Subutex don't inject it; they use it orally, where the two medications have identical effects and risk profiles. Subutex is, for some reason, significantly more expensive-- so many insurers balk at paying for it.

right now im on a very low dose of suboxone, so im not getting high...but i have been on/off subutex and suboxone for a while and it seems like there is a slight feeling of "euphoria" while on the sub, since it DOES have opiate in it..i also know lots of people that SNORT the friggen subutex..and get high off it, especially when they are not experience bad w/d's in the first place, so the drug can be abused.

and when they crush it and inject it...they will never do it again...it will activate the naloxone in it and make them soooo sick... QUOTE: "The naloxone in SUBOXONE is there to discourage people from dissolving the tablet and injecting it. When SUBOXONE is placed under the tongue, as directed, very little naloxone reaches the bloodstream, so what the patient feels are the effects of the buprenorphine.

i have been on suboxone for 21/2 years and for the last few months I have been trying to ween off. It is a hard drug to get off of please be prepared if your not you will not make it. You will have some withdrawal it's different for everyone. Do your research. Are you getting them from a doctor? If so have you told him you want off.

Hello, This is great to here. I have a post on here called suboxone disaster. If u get a chance please read it. Basically, the first time I ever took suboxone was about month ago or longer and I went into horrible withdrawls. I mean it was scary sick! I said I would never ever look at another suboxone tablet after that, but now I here all these great stories how great it is and I've been weaning down myself to try this again. I went into what was called precipatated withdrawl.

i am sure subutex would work i had it in detox for 5 days i felt great,suboxone did not wirk the doctors said it was the narcon i suboxone

Ok, I am not an expert, but there is a difference between Subutex and Suboxone. Suboxone has Naloxone, Subutex does not. Naloxone is used to reverse overdoses of opioids. It does this by knocking other opioids off the receptors. Subutex may be used to start treatment. If you're starting out with Subutex then going to Suboxone, this may be why you won't need to be in withdrawels off methadone for a very long time. I could be totally wrong here.

there seems to be conflicting information between the two and pregnancy. says suboxone really should not be used, but, subutex is ok.......that's kind of scary...... Nauty............

6mgs subutex for 3 days then 1.2 for another 3 then 0.8 mgs and finally down to 0.4 mgs daily and then alternate days. the benefit of the subutex is it allows you to get off the last bit in a slow and more accurate way than trying to fiddle around with the suboxone which flakes all over the place.

The only difference between Subutex and Suboxone is that Suboxone has naloxone in it which sole purpose is to prevent abuse. http://en.wikipedia.

From my understanding- the UK has better things then suboxone- don;t they have those special patches that have the same ingredient as suboxone at a much lesser level?

alternate between tyl and an NSAID take 2 tyl's two hours later take an NSAID it will help with the pain and the swelling what bone did you break... I have worked in hand therapy for 6 years as a therapist..

I think the suboxone has naloxone in it/an opiate blocker/and subutex does not...i have never taken either but just wondering if that could be making a difference...if the amount of buprenorphine is the same that was in your subutex dose...forgive me...no experience taking sub...
