Avatar f tn The point of Suboxone IS NOT to get a buzz off of it. Most don't. To me 8mg is a higher does. My husband was put on 2 mg and that was just fine. And he was coming off a $100+ a day heroin habit plus pills. Suboxone is to help you stay clean. It is not to be used as a drug to get high off of. Sorry to be a little blunt. We are on this forum to quit, and help and support others who want to quit, not tell how to continue. Suboxone is hard to withdraw from. And can be dangerous if abused.
Avatar n tn The higher you go up the actually more withdrawal effects start to come out of the drug. It turns into a antagonist(what they give you when you overdose). So a dose of 8 mgs to 24 gms is a good idea, but know taht any higher you wont get much mroe rleief or get any "higher". and yes along with methadone it does get you high for the first month while you adjust to the dosing. and both are horrible to get off of, they both produce profound brutal withdrawals that last for months.
Avatar f tn It sounds like you have been on some hard drugs for a long time. I was taking pain meds literally by the handful for many years so I can relate. When I went into rehab I was put on 16 mg of suboxone a day...a very high dose, but given my history it was necessary. When I started taking subs this dose worked well for me, I had very few uncomfortable wd symptoms. I gradually reduced this with a doctors help to where I felt comfortable stopping.
Avatar f tn What is it exactly? Does it substitue oxycodone by making you free of withdrawal symptoms? Or does it give you some type of high? Does it have side effects that any of you have experienced? I read the site for the med , but it seems too good to be true. I appreciate any feedback you can share-positive or negative . I want to know if it is worth going that route. I really want to get my life back together...thank you guys for all of your help.
1065662 tn?1254965167 You said you started the suboxone this AM. Can I ask how much you took and what your long term plan is (how long you plan to be on the sub)? I've learned from this site that sub is really powerful and horrible to come off of if you take it too long. I'm debating whether or not to go on it short term myself, so I'd really be interested to know what you feel like and what your plan is. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Hi, I was just curious about suboxone, does Suboxone help you lose weight or can you gain weight from it?
Avatar m tn Take it like directed because you are NEVER going to get the buzz that you are used to. You won't even come close. So, you just take them like it prescribes and you will be fine. Besides, a lot of people are allergic to codeine, that is why they had to make synthetic. So, if you take a bunch to try to get your buzz, you may end up with an allergic reaction....
Avatar n tn Also if you take other painkillers while on them the naloxone which is the other ingredient in suboxone, will block the painkillers affects. so you wont get a high or a buzz if you taker a 80mg oxycontin when on suboxone.. Plus Many many people have stated that it takes away the cravings for the other painkillers, and lets them get back to day to day life activities that they were not able to partake in due to the abuse of painkillers and the sickness without them..
763205 tn?1234422576 I agree with worried the cravings usually are for that high you would get with taking oxy's or any other full agonist opiate. Although suboxone always did give me a slight buzz of energy, it was never close to the feeling I had with methadone or oxycontin. The one odd thing for me was that I found sub to be more effective when I got down to a lower dose. Not to say that it wasnt working when I was taking 8mgs, but when I got down to 2mgs and under I actually felt it more and felt better.
574633 tn?1314209393 but honestly he has to realize that its a proven fact that the lower the dose of suboxone the more buzz you get so if he takes more itts piontless, ive done it many times,a dn many others will agree...i wish you and your husband the ebst of luck..
610505 tn?1329603723 And when I mean is it successful, I mean has anyone taken it for a short time 10-21 days and then went off of it to be drug free? Do you need a referral from your PCP to see a Dr. in the area that treats with Sub? I would not want to trade one addiction for another. Thanks!
643717 tn?1224554218 i would say the difference between suboxone and methadone is that i could still feel a mild buzz on suboxone a couple months after taking it, where as methadone for the first week i was pretty messed up but now i dont feel a thing, but i dont have any cravings and no withdrawals what so ever. both are very addicting and need to be slowly tapered down if wanting to get off of them.
1224339 tn?1287603136 Yeah i dont think you are supposede to get a buzz, i think you are supposed to function.
Avatar f tn Am I a candidate for suboxone if I take ten percocet tens a day and use coricidin on a regular basis?
Avatar m tn t experience withdrawing from heroin was RLS and I do coming off suboxone and it is a bit**. Suboxone will not help you live a normal life. Its a very foggy one.
951587 tn?1249227148 00 THEN SAYS THAT YOU WONT GET OFF ON SUBBOXONI AND THAT YOU WOULD NOT GET A BUZZ OR GET OFF LET ME TELL YA I WAS WACKED FOR LIKE A 8 hours straight but it does work great
Avatar f tn I was sober for 7 years through AA and went back out for 2 weeks shooting dualasid(K4) and stopped after 2 weeks cause I so dust want to live like tht but had a friend give me suboxone in case I had wd. I don't think I would of for only doing it for 2 weeks but was scared. Now I like the suboxone and have taking it for a month, longer that I shot up. I take it about 3-4 times a week about 12mg, really just recreational.
Avatar f tn s average half-life is 24 hours, whereas Suboxone is 37 hours. It gives you less of a buzz compared to methadone, but thats not to say there isnt a buzz. No matter what you take whether its for pain, treatment, or recreational use there is a buzz with all of them, some jsut more so than others. I am still so shocked that you went onto methadone from taking tramadol. Myself and others I know, when speaking of tramadol, usaully a nasty face appears and people laugh.
Avatar f tn Most sub doctors know what you are there for and if you tell them that all you do is 3-4 day then more than likely they start you on a lower dose than ppl that do 20-25 pills a day for you would not need that much just remember that sub are just as hard to come off of as hydro and so on he!! as little as you are on I would think twice before statring sub. Do you have insurance sub treatment and meds are very high.
374690 tn?1224552589 I start Suboxone on tuesday and thank-god as at times i feel like i am going under.I popped a 40mgs earlier and didnt know if i was experiencing an anziety attack,or in the process of over-dosing.
Avatar n tn One thing I can tell you is suboxone actually worked better for me when I got to a lower dose(2-4mgs/day), Im not sure what the reason behind it is,but Ive also talked with many others that find sub much more effective at lower dosages, it actually would give me a slight buzz and burst of energy. Now if you did take 56 8mg tabs of suboxone I would go to the ER to get checked out or atleast contact the suboxone hotline. Again Im hoping Im just misunderstanding what you posted.
239164 tn?1207263007 I was on 8mg for 2 weeks, i think and then 6 mg for 6 days, 4 mg for 4 days and then 2 mg for 2 days. that's where i got into trouble. Thought i was going to lose my mind. So, i guess i was on it for 26 days if i can add? I went through an adapt study and very few people, they told me after the fact made it on that taper. I told them it was too fast of a taper.
781991 tn?1237964779 before my absolute favorite time taking hydrocodone is when I was basically clean because that first dose was the most amazing buzz. Unfortunately you continue to chase that buzz each day, but nothing was better than the first dose after not taking them for a couple weeks. So a thought will pop in my head before I would take my daily dose of Subxone that if I took a couple hydrocodone I would get that buzz.
1109246 tn?1268192801 I cut down for a while after a CT attempt, and got back up. On average up until the suboxone I was taking about 12 per day. 5/500 so about 60mgs. For my last 2 doses tonight I only took 1mg instead of the 4 i am prescribed. I already feel crummy. Think I might have to do a quick wean just so I don't drop too fast and get super sick. Maybe take the 1mg a few days then jump? Lesa I 100% agree. I would have been better just treating my symptoms CT with OTC meds.
Avatar f tn I think it would be of value to you to see what feelings come up for you if you were to give up weed for 30 days. Does the idea terrify you, for example? That is telling you something. Try it, see what you learn. Also, go to NA and see what you learn. Be open, you never know what epiphanies you may have.
