suboxone

2082862 tn?1333927478 In 2007 I chose to go into rehab because my meds masked my pain so much that I no longer knew just how much pain I was in. I was on 180mg of oxy a day and it made me completely 'blah.' I knew nothing about rehab. I didn't know they were going to use another narcotic (suboxone) to wean me off the one I was currently using. For 5 days I slept - that's how the suboxon affected me.
Avatar n tn im going up instead of going down and im taking about 16 mg for the last 3 days prior to that i was taking 1/2 a pill a day (ive only been on them since last friday) comming off of 20 norcos a day i have to quit due to an up comming surgery!!! 1 one more stupid ?
Avatar m tn is subutex an opiate blocker........it depends on your does, but in my experience it does block like suboxone does. good luck with your surgery and if this person is just asking cause they want a fix, WHO CARES! Some of you sound like a bunch of addicts who wish you could get your hands on some fent. and oxy. damn!
Avatar m tn Also worried about telling a general practicioner how much I've been drinking. I don't want him to tell my suboxone doctor and have suboxone taken away. My suboxone dr said I can drink but if he found out how much I've been drinking I don't know what he would do.
Avatar m tn It is not healthy to go on and off of the pain medication and then on and off of Suboxone. That is not at all what the Suboxone program is about. You are screwing around with your brain chemistry and it is no wonder you are depressed. I honestly have to suggest that you get to your family doctor, get honest, get a good check-up and talk to him about your depression. there is no shame in that and they have medications that can help you.
Avatar f tn ve been researching came across the Thomas recipe and suboxone. I was wondering if when I start my withdrawal if I use I tiny bit of suboxone for a few days and the Thomas recipe if that would help. I'm so scared I have so much anxiety everyday I just want this over with. I want my life back my family doesn't deserve this.
Avatar m tn Everyone out there on pain pills or methadone knows that this will kill a person!!!! So now as bad as this suboxone killed me the first time I have to start this all over again!!!! I'm so scared! (please read first post on here previously for further info). So basically by the 20th of this month I will be with no metadone or nothing for the first time in 3 years!!! Man am I nervous! I want to do this so so so bad in my head but it's so hard menatlly!!!
Avatar m tn 2mg sub lingual dose.. How does this treat you pain and how addictive is Suboxone. I talked to my Dr. about temgesic a year or so ago and he said it was Suboxone when he looked it up and said it takes a special medical license to write it ??
Avatar n tn built like a brick house 20 year old male die from doing a combo of H and Suboxone thinking he was invincible, and Suboxone was just a sissy drug ....... that is not b*lls*hit...... just a fact... which is what you ask for........ you can OD by doing both, depending of course based on the mgs of Suboxone and the amount of heroin, in a nano second.
351846 tn?1273615544 Suboxone is soo great... Isn't it... Does anybody come off the stuff??? Are you stuck taking it forever??? I've started a community called suboxonettes.. I know it sounds stupit but I was trying to think of a name you could remember... PLEASE if you have come off suboxone successfully then join so I dont feel so alone... My question is will anybody join??
Avatar f tn m having a bit of trouble in pain management. Anyway... I was Just wondering if anyone Has taken suboxone for chronic pain? And if so, has it helped you at all? Thanks a bunch!!
Avatar f tn Hi all, OK, I've read several post about w/d's and was wondering if there are any others out there that have been through w/d's that are so bad, you want to kill yourself. I mean I know I won't kill myself, but it sure feels like it. First off, I've been snorting at least 500 - 600mg a day of oxycontin / roxicodone. On somedays considerably more, but I honestly don't know how much because I can't keep up with it.
Avatar f tn Hi I have been on suboxone off and on for 5 years full time for 3 years I am still on teo 8 mg strips a day when I started I was on 4 strips a day so I have tapered some in the past couple years . I became on suboxone because I was put on pain pills for a long time by a dr and I found after a couple years I had a addiction to them and couldn't function without the pain pills so I put my self in suboxone clinic.
Avatar m tn The problem is i take about 10-12 5/325 a day and have been for a long time. I am slowly increasing because the pain is not going away and the high is not the same. I am worried because i want to stop. I had a physical and they said everything is alright and no health problems. I tried to quit on my own and i got really sick and could not do it so i went back on. My doctor said not to quit cold turkey it could kill me.
Avatar m tn if not spread the word,life is too short to be unhappy,and Why is there so many lies about suboxone? like that it does not get you high,and it makes you sick if sniffed.I guess so the Big Companies Can Push it and make a lot of money,But it took My little nephew off of shooting Oxycodone and robbing everyone in sight,My sister pays for his clinic visits fearing if he gets back on oxycontin he will overdose,she has charged $20,000 on her visa in the last 2 years keeping him on it.
Avatar f tn no sooner then she was 4 months i started again. and not by choice i have suffered cronic back pain for years and was prescribed by a doctor. i lost insurance last year and buy them where i can. my body is useless without them... i take up to 5 a day depending. 1 every 3 hrs or so.... i just wanna wake up and start my day on my own... im so lost.. what can i do... i am so scared for my childrens future although i concider myself a good mother. i feel like i have lost myself.
717440 tn?1292743742 One of the reasons I went on it, besides my insane addiction to lortab, was needing something that controlled my pain without making me high. For ME sub does this. does not work for everyone though. When I do finally quit, it will be under a physicians supervision, and will be extremely slow taper. Now, am I a cured addict??? HELLL NO. I will always be an addict.
Avatar f tn I take a lot of advil and muscle relaxers which do not kill all of the pain and this often leaves me depressed about the quality of my life...being always in pain. But the alternative, being on drugs, is worse spiritually. It's a really tough one sometimes. The latest miracle drug I have found is Tramadol, which relieves pain like a narcotic but does not seem to trigger the addict stuff in me.
Avatar n tn My husband is addicted to pain medication and while he has a legit injury we have decided he needs to stop being drugged up by the doctors. I have done a little research on these withdrawl drugs but I have heard of people getting addicted to suboxon, does it really work or is it just another pill for my husband to need?
Avatar f tn He has also taken other opiates something oxyicodone. When I called the detox unit today they told me he was on suboxone but would not get a script for it. He has no job or source of income. He is in the process of a divorce and is very depressed. I called about getting him in a program for suboxone but was informed that all doctors in our area are not accepting patients. Only one and it would take a month and the dr does not accept Medicaid or the Access card in PA.
Avatar f tn you are giving a bunch of FALSE informattion. I agree that 1 mg of suboxone could not kill a healthy adult! but if they were opiate naive, THEY WOULD BE LOADED! And 1mg if more than enough to stop a dog from breathing. Putting out false info like this is very dangerous. I'am sorry to say you have no idea what you are talking about. I have been on suboxone for years and when i started using the first time i took 2 mgs of suboxone and was extremely loaded!
1575129 tn?1296004646 i was put on suboxone 2 years ago and i have been told by my pain management doctor that it does not work for fm but when i am off of it i have no energy and i can't get out of bed,but when i get back on it i am like a totally different person.i don't know what to do to get another doctor to put me back on it.any suggestions??
Avatar f tn A person on 32 mg of Suboxone will need much, much higher doses of agonist to get pain relief than will a person on 4 mg of Suboxone-- not because of tolerance but because of the blocking effect, which is competitive in nature at the receptor. When people are approaching surgery I recommend that they lower their dose of Suboxone as much as possible-- to 4-8 mg if possible. Because of the very long half-life (72 hours), this should be done at least a week before the surgery.
Avatar m tn yea the no energy this su*ks but it does return...sometimes slowly but it does....just keep pushing thru....yes, this too shall pass my friend!!
Avatar n tn Drinking causes respiratory depression, as does suboxone, so when you combine the two they are a very dangerous combo. Not to mention the effects drinking has on your recovery, since it reinforces addict behavior.
Avatar n tn It may be a good way for an addict with chronic pain to manage their pain. Does the suboxone keep you from taking high amounts of vicodin? Does the suboxone keep cravings down even though you are taking vicodin also? I know as an addict if cravings hit and we do end up taking a vicodin we usually end up taking a handful. I also wonder how you are not thrown into precipitated withdrawals when taking suboxone so soon after a dose of vicodin.
Avatar m tn I guess I am one of the fortunate ones in that I find that suboxone does relieve my chronic back pain. I have had lots of procedures and surgies to help which led me back to addiction to pain killers. I have been on suboxone for several months and am in the process of weaning down. I find that suboxone does really help with my chronic pain. My plan is going to be weaning down to the lowest dose and decide at that point whether I want to stop.
