suboxone

Avatar m tn m currently on 12 mg/day of Suboxone for tingling/burning all throughout my body (in addition to Amitriptyline and Lyrica). However, I still have LOTS of pain - I still get this tingling sensation on top of my head and other painful paresthesias. I heard from multiple people that Methadone is better for pain than Suboxone, and so I brought it up to my doctor. My Dr.
10623623 tn?1414292089 One last thing, there is an interaction checker for suboxone.....and there are 146 meds (over the counter AND prescription) that are contraindicated if you are taking suboxone. Didn't know if you were aware of that or not. I did check the Doxepine...and it wasn't on there...but amitriptyline was.
Avatar m tn My doctor prescribed clondine and amitriptyline to help. At first he was thinking of tramadol to which I told him "no way" as apparently he was not aware of how horrible those wd's truly are an the addictive nature of that animal.. The two thing I've quoted about are to help ease the wd stress on the body (clonidine lowers one's BP, the amitriptyline has mild antidepressant qualities along with some pain relieving properties).
1810386 tn?1405549577 Amitriptyline and Tramadol is horible interaction leading to Serotonine Syndrome. Had it once, before surgery. any SSRI is evil with Tramal. brrrrrrr.
Avatar n tn The IRBB does not usually cause chest pain by itself, but can be seen in the setting of a heart attack by infarcting part of the right bundle. The amitriptyline does have anticholinergic effects and can cause coronary ischemia in patients following heart attacks. How sure are you that the pain you had was secondary to esophageal spasm and not heart disease?
Avatar f tn I use to take amitriptyline and have some pharmacy background. I suggest no drinking with amitriptyline to be on the safe side. Amitriptyline plus alcohol could equal respiratory depression, which means possible passing out or in fatal cases even death. It's just not worth the possible complication even if it is only a 0.10% chance of happening.
1168317 tn?1330262837 It was recommended that I try amitriptyline several years ago for pain, especially headaches. I researched the drug and was concerned about some of the side effects, especially with a long commute to work. I spoke with my sister who had been prescribed this medication. Her experience included personality changes and she was very much against the medication, especially because it had a significant effect on her job functioning.
175688 tn?1297556647 Hey Danielle, congrats on ten days!!! that is such a great **** you will live such a better life in everyway possible. Amitriptyline is an old school what they call third generation anti-depressant. For anti-depressant there are few classes of them, there are SSRI's which are the post popular that include Paxil, Prozac,Celexa,Effexor, Zoloft, Lexapro etc.
Avatar f tn t think I have that. She prescribed me amitriptyline 25mg for pain and sleep. I finally broke down last night and took a half a 25mg pill. I'm terrified of taking another pill and just want to be clean. Anyway it helped with sleep and frequency. I get up several times some nights. Last night only once it was great. Sorry for the rambling. I hate the side effect of this pill. I was so spacey all morning. Does anyone here have any experience with this pill?
Avatar m tn The doctor prescribed amitriptyline about two weeks ago...She has had no relief from the pain and cannot stay awake, has dry mouth and her vision is blurry. Can she stop taking the medication cold turkey (since she has only been on it for two weeks) and how long does it usually take to get any pain relief from this medication.
1704915 tn?1357601254 t know if I really want to take 10mg in the am and 25mg at night as prescribed. I want to be awake and alert during the day so I can eat and get my walking in etc. The 10mg didn't seem to do much but at the same time that will increase the dosage for the entire day and the possible side effects. I will determine this based on how much pain I experience during the day.
1710955 tn?1309446473 Cymbalta was being tested for nerve pain for awhile now and has finally been approved for this purpose. I tried it and it did help for a few months. What else have the rest of you (forum friends) used for nerve pain?
1629986 tn?1299685955 i asked the doctor for stronger painkillers for arthritus and he gave me amitriptyline 10mg to take at night, they make no difference to pain but have made me extra anxious (i suffer from panic attacks and have been on citalapram 10mg for 7 months which have done nothing to stop panic or anxiety).
Avatar f tn m having the same problems right now -- I had a tooth pulled a few months ago and a cavity filled recently right near it over a month ago, and my whole mouth hurts and so far nobody has found a reason. But I'm already on antidepressants and a benzo for my anxiety problem and it ain't helping my teeth a bit, if you get my drift, and like you it's driving me nuts.
799181 tn?1246686673 i went to see my doc today and prescribed me amitriptyline 25mgs one at night, i was just wondering if anyone else has taken them and how they found them.
Avatar n tn I was on Amitriptyline-150mg and Topamax 100mg for at least a year for headaches. Within the last three months I was put on Lexapro 10mg and Allerx PE also for my headaches. My headaches are beginning to become under control with steroid injections and I am about to have sinus surgery. My concern is that in the past year I have gained 35lbs. I am a very active person who works out and also watches what I eat. I don't know what to do.
Avatar n tn I spoke to my GP, who said that it most likely was not related to the amitriptyline and that I have probably always been short sighted but never noticed it before. I also took an eye test with the optician who said that I am short-sighted due to the shape of my eyes (I now wear glasses). However, it seems strange to me that it only started after I was prescribed the amitriptyline medication. That's not to say that I am doubting the doctor, I just wanted to seek further information.
Avatar f tn X-Rays show I have severe spondiloses of the cervical spine, and spondiloses of thoracic and lumbar spine with, narrowing of disc spaces and ostephyte formation Scoliosis of mid-thoracic and lumbar spine I also have pain down my right leg and tremor in my right arm I recently saw a Nurologist who said I had considerable wear and tear in the cervical spine and the lumbosacral spine with radiculopathy and paraethesias.
Avatar n tn I found a clinic near home that said suboxone can help minimize the withdrawl symptoms and wean you off of drugs. Well I started today, and I was wondering if it really is successful? Also, can you have 1 glass of wine while on suboxone. I know it is not recommended, however I am used to having 1-2 glassed at bed time to help me sleep....but I am scared to since I want to wake up tommorrow. I also am scared to take a flexorall muscle relaxer....
Avatar n tn Some nonphenol drugs noted to produce green urine are metoclopramide, amitriptyline, and indomethacin. In any event, the urinary findings of all of the above medications are benign effects. Did you have amitriptyline for your infection?
Avatar n tn its a horrible drug. now Im on 40mg amitriptyline per day and I feel nice and relaxed now, no more shaking and craving the next dose of Xanax to feel normal again. Trust me it wasn't easy coming off there was withdrawal but the amitriptyline really helped me cope with it because amitriptyline last for 12 hours and kept me relaxed. Now in a few months I will try and taper off amitriptyline. But this is possible. trying to cut Xanax with another benzo won't work, tried that too.
Avatar f tn Clean, I'm back on amitriptyline. This will be my second night. Will it hurt to take sam-e in the mornings? I took one this morning and I have felt terrible. It's worse coming off ambien this time, That's why I taking the amitriptyline. I didn't sleep much last night and I doze on and off all day. I know that's not good if I want to sleep tonight,.
Avatar f tn But my neurologist prescribed both 10 mg of Amitriptyline and Imitrex. So I think it should be fine. You can ask a pharmacist or your doctor to make sure. But I am on both of those plus Trokendi XR and Clonazepam.
382218 tn?1341181487 YES! I not only get the tongue and lip numbness but also a really dry mouth. The symptoms go away fairly quickly - less than a day, so I accepted it as a side effect of the drug. Thankfully this seems to be a temporary side effect and not an exacerbation.
