Avatar m tn Ive been taking 24mg of suboxone and 1mg of clonopin 3× anday for 3months now. This will be the 3rd time ive been on suboxone. Before this time I was on methadone maintenance for around 4 years ,I was also taking alot of benzos and drinking heavily . Everything had turned to **** as usual .
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 n tn I had the worst vomiting nausea after drinking while on Suboxone.
1200909 tn?1306815081 Hey I have been on suboxfilm for like ever and have been through the ringer with opiate addiction for the last 8 to 10 years and have been on and off suboxone the whole time I'm a cronic relapser and it's not perks anymore and has not been for the last five years at times I have been a full blown heroin addict hopefully never again.
1235210 tn?1268244064 s (opiates) up to the point when we found out, and also drinking 2 to 3 drinks per day. She has since stopped drinking and getting high. She took suboxone for one week. I am really concerned with the health of the baby. What are the risks with using opiates and drinking for the first 61/2 weeks. Also, i read that you are supossed to subtract about two weeks from the date given when it is based on your last period. Is this true? Please help me.
214255 tn?1205635636 No suboxone is not like methadone there's no high and it's a opiate blocker pretty much a mirical drug from opiate addicts....I don't have any of those symtoms so it must have just been that I didn't take enough sub.....Also since you're going by my profile ha I guess I have to update that alot I wrote it when I was P1sses and all messed up on pills soooo on that note.
Avatar f tn I am on suboxone and it is not safe to drink with the suboxone. It can cause your respiratory to slow down and if this happens there is a chance of possible death. Remember that suboxone is a very strong addictive narcotic itself, drinking while on suboxone could cause you your life. Is a drink worth that?
210982 tn?1280983895 Hello all...My friend just called me from Florida, she is on vacation. She went with her mom and her sister and all of the kids. Her sister is addicted to pain pills. I am not exactly sure what kind, but she admitted to snorting them to get the quicker high. A few weeks ago, my friend went out with her sister because they had not seen each other since Christmas because of all the drug issues. Anyway, her sister told her that she had detoxed from everything and that she was done with all that.
Avatar f tn I have been off of suboxone and any other pills for 15 days. I was taking 16mg a day and I quit cold turkey. I need help to stay off and I need help with these withdrawals... Anyone have any advice??????????????
460591 tn?1207150799 m glad you are able to refrain from drinking and needing the Suboxone when your not home. They say to stay away from triggers and it sounds like home is one for you. Thats kinda hard to stay away from. Your young and you should be near your family. Sometimes when all else fails people do move away from it all. Hopefully you'll stay strong like Friday.
Avatar m tn Thanks very much for taking precious time out of your day to reply to my question/concern. It's been a few days since I posted my query, but I don't feel much progress has been made in regards to my feeling better. Not sure if you could call it a relapse, but I ended up filling the Suboxone Prescription bottle with water yesterday and drinking it, in the hopes of acquiring some small dose which might aid in the tapering, since dropping off from 4mg proved to me unbearable.
Avatar m tn I am trying hard not to give in and get back on suboxone. Ive been drinking a couple of glasses of wine a night lately. Not sure what to do. Should I get back on a small dose of suboxone? I'm so stressed out. I have a high profile/ high stress job man. I feel like a small dose of suboxone is better than becoming an alcoholic. Thoughts? My wife would rather me drink rather than be on sub. Help me man.
Avatar f tn t get thur today and broke and got 1 30mg and took at 7pm. Now I go tomorrow morning to get the Suboxone and Ive read so many different things some people say 12hrs as long as you are in withdrawals. I so messed up I hope I still can get them tomorrow cause they do drug tests but I was pretty sure it would be positive either way. Cause in can take up to 72 to be clean. Plus I'm having a hard time eating or drinking anything. I really messed up and now I'm scared bit I want thing so bad.
1800740 tn?1324237171 Hi! Are you drinking enough? Sometimes (along with a dose change) it's a simple matter of increasing fluid intake...give that a try and can you reach the doctor in the morning on Monday?
1626629 tn?1329422329 It's been awhile since I have been on this site....9 months to be exact. The last time I was on was one of my many CT attempts...well now I'm back with a different approach. I'm in day 2 of suboxone program. I know that everyone here is so much more accepting of a CT but I have my reasons. My husband lost his job last year therefore I am the only one bringing in income. For me to take off work is impossible...
Avatar f tn If you become pregnant while taking SUBOXONE, alert your doctor immediately as there may be significant risks to you and your baby; your baby may have symptoms of withdrawal at birth. If you are pregnant or become pregnant while taking SUBOXONE, you should report it using the contact information provided below.* Before taking SUBOXONE, talk to your doctor if you are breast-feeding or plan to breast-feed. SUBOXONE can pass into your milk and may harm the baby.
Avatar m tn hi, i am a suboxone user for 3 years and starting to taper down slowly. i am currently on 1mg morning and 1 mg evening. Yesterday i was prescribed tramadol by a different doctor for my pain and migraine. What i need to know is if it is OK to take tramadol while i am on suboxone? i am afraid that if i take tramadol tonight, the next morning when i dose my suboxone i will feel a very discomfort feeling or withdrawal.
Avatar m tn I took two ten mg percocets at 9:00am and the 4mg of suboxone roughly 7 hours later. The last 24 hours have been absolutely agonizing. I cannot keep anything on my stomach as I vomit shortly after eating or drinking anything. I'm sweating, cannot sleep and have a headache. I realize, although I am not addicted physically to the Percs, that I am in precipitated withdrawals for 24 plus hours now. My question is how long is this going to last and will taking 4 more mg of suboxone help?
Avatar m tn I asked my doc if I could get back on it while taking Suboxone and he said yes and perscribed it to me again. My question is if I should be taking these two meds together or not? I know my doc perscribed them to me but I can't help but question if it's ok. Does anyone have any takes on this? I am taking 8mg Sub 2x daily and 30mg Adderall 2x daily right now.
558096 tn?1255887002 I was on Suboxone for alomost a month and there is no way I would drink while taking it. I had read that mixing suboxone and alcohol could/would cause serious breathing problems. You might want to check with your doctor about it before you do.
Avatar f tn Ask to be given a blood test. They are much more accurate.
Avatar f tn Hi mellie. I've researched a lot on suboxone and was on suboxone maintenance for almost three years. I will try to answer what I can from my knowledge. Suboxone is only prescribed to treat opiate addiction. Suboxone is made up of buprenorphine and naloxone.
Avatar f tn I tried the long tapering process and it just does not work for me. Why, does it mean I am not ready. Well, this is how I should do it. Take 2mg from 2morrow for 3 days and then go to 1mg for 8 days. On the fifth day of the 1mg, I'll stop drinking my benzo's for 48 hours so I could get max benefit from it for the next couple of days. At day 9 I'll jump off from the 1mg. I have myprodol, sleeping medication, alpralozam and buscopan to help me. Any advice,how does this sound?
243614 tn?1266197537 I like you am tired of feeling like ****. Both mentally and physically. Mostly mentally though. I feel so worthless the day after and sometimes 2 days. Just depressed and sick of myself. I don't want that anymore. I remember not that long ago having good days and being happy. I want that back. I want a fun summer with my granddaughters. My friends are not drinkers, or i should say they might have a glass of two of wine and maybe none. They say they will not drink around me now.
Avatar n tn I think they took 100mg trazadone, 1 suboxone and some beer. Hopefully took the suboxone orally instead of sublingually, since that would just create maybe an upset stomach, but nothing else (got to take it sublingually or abuse it otherwise but not orally). That's a lot of trazadone (for me at least) but the suboxone can have bad results with people who don't have opiate tolerance.
