537731 tn?1268265286 Can i take this with my oxycodone to take the pain away or can i take them and not have to take oxycodone-or is this a medicine that will make me go through withdraws when on oxycodone.
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.
1087566 tn?1282448730 I have been taking Methadone for many years at 120 mg. daily. i also take Oxycodone 30mg. 4/daily. I am wanting to change up my meds due to high tolerance...any thoughts on Opana ER?

Avatar f tn Suboxone is a combination of the drugs Buprenorphine and Naloxone. The Naloxone prevents this drug from being used intravenously b/c it causes withdrawal. The Buprenorphine is the main drug. It is a partial opiate that has similar effects to other opiates, but does not produce the high that Oxycodone or Vicodin are capable of. It has a ceiling effect meaning that 32 mgs is as high as you can go. Any pills after that will do nothing. Suboxone also blocks the effects of other opiates.
Avatar f tn I have to make a rare correction, Eagle-- Suboxone has naloxone, the IV form of naltrexone. I'm sure you have the principals down though-- naloxone is completely irrelevant to the action of Suboxone, and is there for show more than anything-- it does nothing to contribute to the actions of the drug, but is used to deter people from injecting Suboxone, since then the naloxone would be active. Eagle is correct, Cathy-- buprenorphine, Suboxone, and Subutex are all essentially identical.
Avatar m tn I Know we're not comparing apples to apples but can someone get close???
Avatar f tn Talwin (Pentazocine) nx, the form with naloxone, would need to be taken at a minimum of 8 hrs. after they last taken a opioid such as hydrocodone, oxycodone, or heroin, longer acting opioids like methadone you would need to wait almost 48 hrs. to be able to take it otherwise like stated above the naloxone will kick off the opioids on your receptors and put you into precipitated WDs. And believe me those are not fun at all.
Avatar n tn My point to all of this that I have been to good PM Drs and to very poor PM Drs, I wa s recently changed from ER meds to methadone with 30mg of IR oxycodone 1-2 every 4-6 hours as needed for break through pain, I have been on the meds for so long that my body has built up a tolerance to the meds and they are no longer effective, I by know means want to increase the amount and/or strength of the medication. Anyone in a similar situation, successful changes, etc???
Avatar f tn Hi Tiger, I am also on 16 mg of suboxone a day. Once I waited maybe 12 hours and took roxicet. It's 30 mg of oxycodone. I had to take 7 of them to feel any kind of relief and I don't have any documented pain problems. I don't know if you ever heard of rivea. If you take any opiates with that, like you said, you could have withdrawals and I was told if I took a painkiller, it wouldn't work. So, I guess the longer you wait since taking sub, the better the MS Contin will work.
Avatar f tn I am not an alcoholic and not even a big drinker. However, I do enjoy a glass of wine with dinner every now and then (once every 2-3 months, if that). Anyway, I'm having a BBQ next weekend and I wouldn't mind having a beer.
Avatar f tn I have morphine cr 45mg 3x/day which I asked to change due to side effects. Dr put me on Oxycodone 20mg 4x/day. After my back surgery recuperation I want to stop the meds. Which one should I be on for an easier withdrawal. I am scared because I have been on this for ages. When I have the surgery I can ask the dr to use the med that would be easier for me to withdraw so what do you think.
Avatar m tn About ten months ago I had a car accident and got bursitis in my shoulder. I was prescribed Targin (which is basically Oxycontin with naloxone in it - helps with the constipation) and Endone (immediate release oxycodone). In summary, the pain got worse and worse, I kept having my dose of Targin upped to 40mg twice a day plus I was taking probably 20 - 30mg of Endone on top of that for break-through pain.
Avatar f tn It would contain microscopic naltroxone beads to destroy the oxycodone in it. I read somewhere on another website forum that it is now available in Canada. Has anyone else heard this?
1428440 tn?1287390379 You are indeed correct that the Subutex formulation does NOT contain any naloxone like the Suboxone does, however the reason it is there is often misunderstood. Naloxone is an opiate antagonist. It will reverse the effects of opiates and indeed have a blockade effect on the Opiate (Mu) receptors. It is the drug that we use on the ambulance in overdose situations (Narcan). Naloxone has a terrible bioavailability when taken orally.... almost non existent.
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?
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.
Avatar f tn p.s. Oops I should have mentioned: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/info/oic/treatment-for-opioid-induced-constipation.php The Naloxone in your Targinact theoretically has no ORAL bioavailability. In other words, when you eat the pill, the naloxone won't do anything. Naloxone is ONLY included in pills to deter people from Injecting their Pills, because Naloxone that is injected will antagonize opiates (kick the opiates off of their receptors) and cause horrible withdrawal symptoms.
Avatar m tn Suboxone has a added ingredient called Naloxone. This was added to prevent abuse, and the Naloxone in Suboxone will allegedly cause immediate withdrawal if the Suboxone is injected or possibly snorted. Naloxone has also been known to induce withdrawal (wd) symptoms when some people are initially starting treatment, therefore some Drs will initially induct patients with Subutex which is just Buprenorphine without any additives.
454371 tn?1221297385 I think he may not be that familiar with detox and he sounds like he's more interested in fees. Ask him the tough questions and if he doesn't respond with good info. get rid of him. You are coming off oxycodone right? This may not be the best detox for you.
Avatar n tn Suboxone contains a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is an opioid medication. Buprenorphine is similar to other opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin however, it produces less euphoric ("high") effects and therefore may be easier to stop taking. Naloxone blocks the effects of opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin.
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 f tn 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 that when its molecule binds to a receptor, it will transduce only a partial response in contrast to a full agonist such as morphine.
466909 tn?1207568232 In the case of a Morphine overdose, where a hospital is concerned that the high dose of Morphine may be dangerous (depressing breathing and heartrate), they may administer Naloxone (an opiate antagonist). The Naloxone finds its way to your opiate receptors and "competes" 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.
