Naloxone for constipation

Common Questions and Answers about Naloxone for constipation

suboxone

Avatar m tn No, Temgesic is way, way weaker than sub. One sub is equal to 40 or 20 Temgesic ( temgesic is .2 or .4 MG Buprenorphine a sub is 8 MG) Also Temgesic is just Buprenorphine, Suboxone is Buprenorphine and Naloxone, however the naloxone doesn't really do anything in subs so idk why they even put it in there.
Avatar f tn Ok so I have been dealing with severe back pain over a year. This past april I was in ER and could barely walk. Turns out I had a disc pushing up against my spinal cord. Well anyways had emergency surgery to correct the issue. Well after surgery I was/am still having back pain. Just recently gotton some more images dones on my back. Turns out the disc was completely removed with no spacers or fusions done.
558096 tn?1255887002 naloxone, unfortunately for suboxone wd pr amy opiate/opioid wd will not aid in easing the pain or physical aspect, it will help a littloe with the cravings for opiates..the biggest advantage with naloxone is that it will block any opiate/opioid no matter what the potency from having any effects for quite a long time especially if you take it for a while. congrats on day 9, what doose of suboxone were you last on? and for how long total were you on sub?
733251 tn?1231698321 Hi everyone, I have just recently moved to the Cincinnati, Ohio area and have been on Suboxone for a little while. I have insurance (Medicaid-CareSource). My doctor from where I use to live took my insurance. As you know, alot of doctors are on a cash bases only. Is anyone from my area? Can you recommend a doctor close to Claremont County that takes insurance? Also, I was going to see about getting switched to Subutex because of the bad headaches I do get.
Avatar m tn Precipitated withdrawals will come if either Subutex or Suboxone is taken. A common misconception is that the knocking off of the original opiate is done by the Naloxone, but in fact is caused by the Bupe. The Naloxone is only active if taken by an IV route. If taken sublingually as directed, the Naloxone doesn't factor into the equation at all.
1800740 tn?1324237171 Suboxone is the brand name for a medication consisting of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a thebaine derivative with powerful analgesia approximately 20-40x more potent than morphine. Buprenorphine is a partial agonist and antagonist of the opioid receptors in the central nervous system which means when the its molecule binds to a receptor, it will transduce only a partial response in contrast to a full agonist such as morphine.
Avatar n tn are you possibly talking about Suboxone? If so, it is used for Opioid addiction. Used to treat addiction to narcotic medications. If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know.
897400 tn?1303329148 Naloxone is a different drug altogether, although Naltrexone and Naloxone are both opiate antagonists. Naloxone is not used in low dose for anything that I am aware of. It's used as an emergency antidote for opiate overdose. It is also added to subutex (buprenorphine ) to make Suboxone. When used in Low Dose Therapy, Naltrexone stimulates endorphin production. When used in high dose, it abruptly blocks endorphin production.
429209 tn?1224166589 You need to take a stool softner like colace and for extreme constipation take a laxative like sendecot or miralax. I also like the chocolate exlax candy (be careful not to take too much- it can be painful). You can take the stool softner daily, 1 to 2 tablets, but only take the laxatives as needed because your body will become dependent on them. Also, eat natural fiber- fresh fruit and veggies (not canned or jarred fruit.
Avatar f tn Buprenorphine, marketed under the brand name Suboxone, was developed as a safer alternative for treating people addicted to heroin and painkillers compared to methadone. It was also designed to be resistant to abuse, but it hasn't turned out that way.
Avatar f tn I tried the subutex for the last three days but it always sends me into withdrawls. today I took 4mg and it was strange because it didnt make me feel better but it also did not make my withdrawls any worse. So I am still feeling awful. What do I do now ???
Avatar f tn Hi martint1955, First, I want to welcome you to the PM (Pain Management) Forum and let you know that we are glad you found this Forum. We are all CP (Chronic Pain) Patients that help each other with our own expertise and experiences that we have developed through our own CP Issues. I'm sorry that you are having trouble finding a Doctor to prescribe what you think you need for your pain. From everything that I've read on the patch it is the very same medication that Suboxone is.

466909 tn?1207568232 with Morphine for binding of the receptors. Because Naloxone has a higher affinity for the receptors than Morphine, the Naloxone will generally win out, replacing much of the Morphine at the receptor sites. Within 1-3 minutes of a sufficient Naloxone injection (2-4 mg), a patient who has OD'd on Morphine will generally wake up, usually quite agitated.
Avatar n tn The naloxone in the mix is only placed as a deterrant to misuse. When taken orally as prescribed, naloxone has a horrible bioavailability and is virtually nonexistant... Subutex will yield the same results with regards to the opiate blockade properties.
Avatar m tn i am allergic to naloxone (the opiate blocker in suboxone). i dont wanna get on methadone cuz the addiction gets serious. is there any thing like suboxone with the naloxone in it?
Avatar f tn I've seen some people do this but I'm not sure why?
558096 tn?1255887002 I am hoping to be completely off sub within a week. However, my psych Dr wants to put me on Naloxone for 6 months after that to ensure I don't have a relapse. It basically blocks the high I would get if I took any vicodin like the suboxone does. I really don't know if I even want to go on this, just b/c it's ONE MORE MED to be on. Does anyone know anything about this medicine? Or side effects?
Avatar f tn If taken sublingual, the naloxone is inert, it doesn't enter the blood stream at all. Have you had this problem the whole time, it may be that your body doesn't tolerate buprenorphine.
1477380 tn?1289233354 but in the end it so so worth it keep posting for support read the posts so you can see how sub has been for others good luck and God bless....
Avatar m tn The test showed positive for oxycodone. I have not taken oxycodone. Can the buprenorphine-naloxone cause a false positive for oxycodone? I have seen that is can on an urine test but what about a hair test? If so, any recommendations on how to work through it to get it cleared? Thanks.
Avatar m tn Maria920 - You are absolutely right. You have to be clean for 7-10 days before you can start. My doctor pissed tested me today to make sure I was clean. I dont really have any with draw symptoms anymore, but the mental is the tough part. If (I mean when) I can make 90 days I will be good. They said you usually stay on naloxone for 3-6 months. If it honestly lowers the cravings i'm golden. Thats the hardest part for me is the mental side!!
Avatar n tn Suboxone is a medication that contains buprenorphine and Naloxone. The naloxone is added to the buprenorphine to lessen the odds that a user will abuse the medication. Because Naloxone can sometimes cause symptoms of opiate withdrawal, pregnant women wanting to take buprenorphine are normally advised to take Subutex instead. Subutex is exactly the same as Suboxone, but it contains no Naloxone, only buprenorphine.
Avatar m tn this makes it to where u can not shoot up suboxone due to the naloxone/which is a narcotic reversal agent used in the hospital setting for an overdose/but subutex can be used IV....course that would negate the goals of being on subutex in the first place...It is a known fact that a side effect of suboxone is a headache and that is often the naloxone that causes it...neither one tastes fantastic tho...guess subutex has less of a taste than suboxone tho...talk to ur dr bout it and good luck..
Avatar m tn Alot of you know that Im one of those that is using suboxone, for those who dont Im currently on day 61@4mgs/day. Im wondering if there would be any benefit if I was to switch to subutex? I know the difference is that is doesnt contain the naloxone, which I dont need. I do get the occasional sub headaches and someone suggested it may be from the naloxone, although the naloxone is supposedly not absorbed when taken sublingually.
