Mixing suboxone and vicodin
Common Questions and Answers about Mixing suboxone and vicodin
suboxone
I've been taking suboxone and have run out. I have a bad toothache and have some vicodine, would that be effective until I get this tooth worked on. I will have my suboxone on Monday again.
I understand that it is not good to mix drugs with alcohol, but I would like to know of experiences with mixing those two drugs, lexapro and Vicadin, alone.
Take you own advice and research more about suboxone, side effects, dangers, mixing it with certain drugs and most important find the intended use of suboxone.
I use my suboxone for drug recovery and attend NA meetings regularly. I am building a foundation for which to base my life on instead of continuing to destroy my life and my health. I too did not think I would be addicted at 51, but guess what I am.
I am sorry about your pain and wish you luck in finding a cure for them.
The Naloxone in Suboxone is there only to prevent abuse of the drug, and nothing else. If the suboxone is dissolved and injected, then the naloxone comes into action, because it has a higher affinity to opiate receptors than the Buprenorphine when taken this way. It will "kick off" all opiates including the Buprenorphine and cause immediate precipitated withdrawals.
Your son has nothing to worry about, except your wrath for doing something stupid.
I am on suboxone prescribed by my doctor, well I resently moved out of town and found a new suboxone dr who has prescribed me all these medications to take along with taking the suboxone. I am soooooo scared to take what he has told me to take seeing all these horror storys online about mixing benzos and suboxone. Well if anyone can help me feel better or if they have had this experience also please post keep in mind I have never took any of these medications before other then the suboxone.
hello will best thing i can think of is to lower your dose little by little until you are off of it completely
Hi there. I have no personal experience mixing alcohol with suboxone but my wife does. She was on subutex in South Africa and drank with no ill effects. However when she emmigrated here(to NZ) she was transferred onto suboxone. Apparently the naltrexone/naloxone disrupts the absorbtion of alcohol into the bloodstream and she could not ever feel the effects of the alcohol. I have also read of a treatment for alcoholics where they are prescibed daily doses of naltrexone for this reason.
t stick around trying to figure out what it is. He has to be mixing heavy drugs or something and if she confronts him while he's high he may crack (sounds like he's prertty close to cracking completely as it is). Like sara said, someone else needs to be involved in this and she needs to get out for her own safety.
I don't believe for a second that he took something OTC that mixed with the Sub and made him act that way.
I realize this response sounds harsh, but I am sure you were made aware of the dangers of mixing suboxone and any opiate, the dangers of precipitated withdrawal and everyone is well aware that taking medication not prescribed to you is illegal and dangerous.
Tramadol is addicting and is well known as an opiate.
I am sorry you are in this situation.
I formerly was terribly addicted to vicodin. The suboxone has been wonderful and have not relapsed since starting my treatment. Life is great now! However, I believe I am pregnant...I am 3 days late and am taking a test tonight. I am already concerned about suboxone and my possible unborn child. Does anyone have any information on the drug and the effects on a fetus? Please help! Thank you!
I know someone who is currently taking Suboxone and is telling his wife that he needs to have a "dirty" urine once in a while so he can keep getting the Suboxone. It is my understanding that Suboxone is used to help an addict get off of prescription pills, so why would a doctor say this? He is trying to get Vicodin from someone, saying he needs to have a urine test and it has to come up that he is using in order for him to get the Suboxone.
The wd was miserable, and here I am hating life and my situation addicted to vicodin. When I heard about suboxone, it sounded like a miracle answer. The more I educate myself, though, i am feeling leery. I need help. I HAVE to quit. Reading posts in this forum has been more uplifting and educational than any other. So here it is, my first post. Any suggestions whether or not suboxone is right?
can a pharmacist call a dentist that wrote a prescription for Vicodin and tell him that i am taking suboxone,i thought that addiction problems were confidential. She never came and spoke t me, to find out if I had worked something out with the doctor that prescribes the medication. I believe if she was to call anyone she should of called my suboxone doctor!!!
The only thing I can say is that I THINK methadone and suboxone are kinda the same thing and I have taken the suboxone. I took a low dose of suboxone the first day and was fine, acctually, better than fine! But the next day I took it again and it made me SICK SICK SICK!!!!!! after experimenting with it for a few days i figured out I was taking too high of a dose, I lowered my dose and was fine!! Maybe the same will help for you!
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..
WOW, is it really true that the maximum half life of Suboxone is 74 hours, and for Vicodin it's only 3.8 hours??? And will someone please explain to me how exactly a "partial agonist" is possible? How can they possibly control the medication only binding to part of a receptor? If you're an addict, wouldn't that receptor autimatically fill itself with what you are supplying to it? I'm sorry, I'm just really fed up with this stuff.
History: back surgery 15 years ago. No problem quitting vicodin. For 10 years had maybe 3 prescriptions. Then 5 years ago had a friend who had an endless supply. He also had methadone. To make a predictable story short, I have been trying to quit for about a year. Tried suboxome which I found out was 50 times stronger than vicodin (and people wonder why they can't quit that???). I am now a big believer in the Amino Acid therapy and Dr. Gant as well as the Thomas recipe (I combine both).
I looked up Suboxone and that is used for recovery from substance abuse and I am not familiar with it so if you are concerned about medication interactions speak to your psychiatrist. They can do a search in a physician database that only they have access to and will be far more accurate than any web search you could do (though feel free to go to the medication websites of course). They would likely have a laptop or even Blackberry with the info. All my doctors do even my g.p.
That would be a very very bad huge mistake. Suboxone contains an opiate blocker and taking it with norco or vicodin or any other opiate will throw you into precipitated withdrawal and you will become miserably sick and there will be no way to reverse it except time. Suboxone is part opiate, part opiate blocker. It should only be used when you are in full withdrawal from norco or vicodin or any other opiate and never in conjunction with. You would be very sorry to take it together.
I see my therapist and my psych doc's on Tuesday and I've been doing a ton of research on Vicodin addiction. The #1 thing that kept coming up was this medicine called suboxone..I've never heard of it besides on here and that people have become addicted to it, and have abused it. Is it something that would benefit me seeing as this is my 2nd relapse? I will try ANYTHING at this point, I am desperate. What should I do?
