Dissolving suboxone in water

Common Questions and Answers about Dissolving suboxone in water

suboxone

Avatar n tn Some people have found creative ways to deal with the taper issue, for example dissolving a tab in water and taking doses with an eyedropper, slowly decreasing the number of drops every few days. The main thing is to go slow, and remember that half-life decreases as dose goes down-- so think in terms of your total daily amount as what needs to be tapered, and divide that amount in more frequent dosing at the lower doses. Hope that makes sense.
Avatar n tn Around week 3 or 4, after you have stopped spotting, the dissolving stitches in your vaginal cuff start .... dissolving! This means you might notice new spotting and perhaps something icky-looking thread-like bits in your panties. These are the stitches ~ they are very small and might be gray or purple-ish. The dissolving fibers of these stitches seem to add to the discharge with an odor that isn't always pleasant and you may wonder about it.
Avatar f tn IM 10 weeks and 4days along, I'm on 4mg suboxone films and have to take it through my while pregnancy, unfortunately. I've never had a problem taking it before I got pregnant. Even though the taste is unpleasant. But. Since I got pregnant I cannot even smell it without puking. What I usually do is let a mint sit in top of my tounge while it is dissolving under my tounge but, I can't even do this without puking, every time and I'm waisting my films. Any suggestions and ideas?
1428440 tn?1287390379 One you have mentioned and that is the strips may not be dissolving all the way under your tongue. Suboxone is designed to be dissolved under the tongue and not by means of ingestion. This is for a couple purposes as the naloxone in the medication can make you withdrawal if ingested through your stomach; so yes you may not be receiving the full amount of buprenorphine in the Suboxone.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn There is no problem or health hazard there. If you want to learn about how crystals work in general, try dissolving lots of salt in hot water. When it cools, all sorts of crystals will form, since there's too much salt to stay dissolved. That is what your diamond-shaped crystals are. They are the salts that your body is getting rid of in a normal way through your urine, becoming visible when the urine cools.
Avatar f tn I had a mint in my mouth today which was dissolving at the same time as the tablet which helped a lot i think. Got to see the doctor tomorrow to check on my progress. I can't take it in the morning yet as i have to go to chemist to take is as i'm under supervision at the mo as i've only been on it a week.
Avatar f tn The next day, I decided to just take 1/2 in the morning, and half in the afternoon. I still let them dissolve under my tongue. I wasn't as bad as the day before, but I still could barely function from being so tired. So the next day, I decided to take the 1/2 in the AM and 1/2 in the PM except this time I just swallowed them. I felt much better than the day before, but still quite drowsy at times. So the next day, I completely QUIT them! I just hated them, so I stopped.
Avatar n tn My doctor told me to lean forward and hang my head a bit while it was dissolving, which causes an increase in saliva. It did seem to help. Hopefully, the label on the bottle says "dissolve" under tongue.
Avatar n tn Last fall I had two mi's, resulting in stents being placed in my lad. In December my cardiologist found a clot in my left ventricle after reading my echocardiogram. I was put on warfarin in December and at the last echo the clot is still present, although smaller and denser. Is there a chance it will never dissolve? What danger does it present? Can it still break loose and travel in my bloodstream?
917167 tn?1330255938 this double life **** takes a toll i know all to well. dont worry dear, within 1-2 hours of that bitter tasting suboxone dissolving under your tongue you will feel like a new woman. dont leave undermedicated though. some docs give it in the office at first, some send you home with a script the first day. if yours gives it in the office make sure you feel better before you leave, you should feel 80 to 90% better. just hold on.
Avatar f tn I am out of tums :( but i found that completely dissolving 1 tsp in 8 oz of water helps! I only drank 1/2 of it because the box said only take 1/2 tsp every 2 hours in 4 oz of water but it got rid of my heartburn! :) make sure you completely dissolve it!! It doesnt taste the best!
Avatar m tn The traditional herb tea is water extract, either an infusion or a decoction, that easily extracts the water soluble constituents in the plant. However, a combination of water and alcohol has the advantage of dissolving both water soluble and insoluble constituents, and is usually the form used by medical herbalists.
1447768 tn?1284825337 ve read about a liquid taper method. It has to do with dissolving say 8mg of sub in say 8 ml of water using one of those toddler medicine syringes. Doing this you can adjust the sub or the solution to get it where you need. Have you talked to your doctor about how to taper and if he feels you are ready to come off of it and how it he recommends to taper? If tapered properly most seem to get by with little to no withdrawals.
Avatar f tn You cannot regrow your gums. They follow the bone and can only attach to bone. If the bone is dissolving, the gums recede. Likewise, if your gums are receding, the bone is dissolving. Eventually the teeth become loose and will just fall out. You should have xrays done to see how much bone is left holding your teeth in. This will not correct itself and there is nothing you can do without professional help.
Avatar f tn You could try dissolving some menthol crystals in boiling water and leaving that in the room with you, or some vapour rub which can help with congestion too. Just take it easy and rest.
7163794 tn?1457366813 The proper way to take the subs is to put under your tounge, let dissolve and spit while dissolving to spit out the naloxone in the med??? I was NEVER told to do this? I ask b/c the last few days shes been complainig of aches, pains, cold sweats, etc....which sound like w/d symptoms so im wondering if she's spitting out her meds? 2. He upped her 2 8mg per day and told her that at 6mg she was only maintaining, they needed to find a dose where she would be happy, then taper her from there????
Avatar m tn Like you the mg were so small that I was dissolving pill in water so I could get a more accurate dosage as the pills would not chop up any more it was so small. We are not a normal breed. I have been here two years almost and rarely do I find someone like me who could taper like that and not go round and round with relapse. It's not for everybody, that is for sure. I am so glad to hear how good you are doing. If you experience any of the residual mental stuff remember it is temporary.
Avatar f tn I have a 6 year old website mix that has had struvite stones twice a year if not more since she wasn't even a year old. We have been extremely successful in dissolving the stones with s/d and antibiotics. Only problem is they come back. We tried c/d for over a year and were unsuccessful. Tried giving antibiotics every 6 weeks for a week and they still returned. She drinks distilled water.
899491 tn?1243773627 Yes sometimes a medication that is a dissolving tablet can have an odd effect. I had that problem with Lamictal with the dissolving tabs but I was fine with the regular ones. Because dissolving tablets are absorbed very quickly the side effects can sometimes occur very quickly. If you continue to have a problem you might ask your psychiatrist about standard tablets that are swallowed. I am sure they are available that way as well.
Avatar n tn Well, after a good start with weaning, after the 5th day, the WD became horrible and I was not able to keep on it. My Dr just cut everything in half once weekly and I needed it a lot slower. When I called him, he said that he would feel much better to send me to a specialist. So, I went and the Dr, convinced me to try suboxone. i really just wanted to be weaned off my current meds and am dependent as hell but over 6 years i was always good with keeping with the med instructions.
Avatar n tn That's weird.... I remember when I used to take Folic acid...that little tablet also caused like what appeared to be smoke coming out my mouth....not a lot but obviously I didn't drink enough water with it..and it could of been dissolving down my throat....Not sure...
Avatar m tn But sometimes I need a faster reaction time. I have tried it rectally by dissolving 25mg in a very small about of warm water and with a small syringe injecting it into my rectum. The results are must faster and stronger it seems than taking it orally. Wondering if there is anything negative about this?
Avatar n tn One reason is Levoxl is one of the fastest dissolving of any of the Thyroid Meds,it it very recommended one should drink a full glass of water so there is no choking involve of the med,(Caught in your throat) This allows all the medication to reach the stomach, and 1-1.5 hours before eating any foods or other liquids so it can absorb into your system.
306867 tn?1299249709 Just a quick update. We are both feeling better and seem to have our Suboxone dose figured out. Wish we could change doctors but she has all our money. lol She has not called to see if we we are ok and when we called her she rushed us off the phone. All doctors are not created equal. We came to the conclusion we were getting to much in our stomachs. So my advise to anyone about to go on Sub ...do not do alot of swollowing while it's dissolving under your tongue.
Avatar n tn is it ok to give 7-8 lb chihuahua 4 mg dissolving tablet for nausea/vomiting (keeps vomiting her water every time she drinks), otherwise she seems to be feeling ok, just having trouble keeping it down 2day, @ 15 mins after she drinks just vomits w/o notice (no hacking like they usually do when they vomit) just comes out seemingly uncontrollably. We already gave her Pepto & she vomited that as well.
