Avatar f tn What should i do taper myself to a quarter a day and then not do any the day before and of the surgery? What should i do and will i be ok if i do that?
Avatar n tn Hi, You find a prescribing physical which you can locate at the Suboxone homepage and make an appointment. He/she will set you up on a proper treatment program. Best of luck. Let us know how it goes.
Avatar m tn I went to my Doc. today and he wants me to start on Fentanyl. I tried this once before and i got very tired so i thought this is not going to work for me. If i remeber right they were 12mg patches. I also been on Vicodin ES, Percocet, MS Contin, Suboxone, Vicoprofen. I'm wondering if this is a drug that you can function on as far as work and also if 20mg patches are to strong to start out. I know i'm very tolerant to painmeds but have no real experience with Fentanyl.
Avatar f tn I am going to get off the Fentanyl patches and put on Methadone using Suboxone as a bridge .I have never heard of this med called Suboxone.I am on 200mcg of Fentanyl how long will it take to get off the fentanyl?
5135507 tn?1367163227 Hi, I was on the fentanyl patch, 75mcg every 48 hours and Percocet 10/650. My pain management dr was fired. Cannot find a dr even tho i've had 3 back surgeries. How can I detox off these drugs i've been on for 5 years? Does Clonidine help?
Avatar m tn I stopped taking my Suboxone strips for 24hrs. Went into immediate surgery. They gave me Fentanyl, several hydromorphone doses, and a benzo. Got out of the hospital waited 12hrs took my Suboxone. Been taking it for a week. Still feeling surgery effects and I have these weird withdrawl like symptoms. One minute the hairs on my neck stand up, the next im sweating only minor, then I get nausea, then I feel shaky. Its been 8 days since surgery.
Avatar f tn Thank you So very much for your help and PLEASE EXCUSE the Time to REPLY, i was MOVING to a Warmer location, back Down the volcano and into town... I have read and Read ALL kinds of info and the Suboxone seems to be given as a DETOX drug for people who have been ABUSING PX MEDS Whether their Own px or Buying them illegally... ("Valium from Thailand! Real Oxy's from NIGERIA!!
Avatar f tn A week later and while on Percocet 10mg 4x a day and fentanyl 25mcg/hr I went into withdrawl so sever that I had to go to the ER and almost needed to be admitted do to my heart racing at 180bpm. Then hospital ran a UDT and found nothing in my system, so they stableized me on dilaudid, and said that I was in withdrawl. Then next day I went back to my doctor and got another UDT which is very specific and it showed that I had a 30x more norafentanyl which is the main metabolite of fentanyl.
1264955 tn?1381782221 I am home and realizing that this is a horrible drug, worse than the fentanyl patch. They sent me home with 2 mg strips...yesterday I took 4 mg. I am very nauseated today. If I don't get off this now, is it going to be harder to do? I have Fentanyl patches left that I could cut. I don't know what do do. I cannot get a doctor to prescribe this suboxone. Will my suffering be less if I try to do this now after being on it only a week?
1644508 tn?1301001315 I was prescribed 8 10MG Oxycodones and a 75MCG Fentanyl patch for pain. Well, The percocets stopped working and it seemed like I could take 15 and they still did nothing! I was SOO tired of the rollercoaster and my body was obviouslly dependant on the opiates so I decided to try Suboxone. Well today is day 3 of the the 8mg film strips 3X's a day and I am STILL having withdrawl symptoms. I dont feel good AT ALL! I am thinking about pills constantly.
Avatar m tn Did you ever detox off the Fentanyl and on to Suboxone?? I am about to do the same and I would love to hear your experience. Thanks!
Avatar m tn told me to try suboxone. So right now the only thing i take is suboxone and finding out this is really hard to get off. Can i with help off vicoprofen 7.5/325 get off suboxone?. Not shure if i posted this in the right place. Also the worst med i been on was tramadol had severe whidrawals for 1 month.
Avatar m tn Hi & Welcome, I don't know your husband's history but it sounds as though it is time for him to get clean. That is a ridiculous amount of pain medication to be taking at once, especially Fentanyl. Because of the long half life of Fentanyl they are waiting to dose him with the Suboxone. That is a good thing and if he doesn't wait or does something he shouldn't, there is a good possibility he will be sorry. So make sure he listens.
1311839 tn?1282480602 5mg...and aftercare. I came off of Suboxone and relapsed within a month because I had no idea on how to stay clean. My suggestion is to initiate a slow taper and get into aftercare now...give yourself the best chance. What dosages did you usually jump from?
Avatar m tn Long story short decided to screw to suboxone go cold turkey and begin vivtrol injections. However, I have done some research and have noted that these patches have a long half life i am 72 hours clean right now and feeling well enough to eat and type at a computer... am I in for a nasty surprise in the next few days as it really starts to clear my system?
Avatar n tn I had a hip replacement a couple months ago and was taken off suboxone while placed on Fentyl patch 50 for the pain. I was on it for over a month and took off my last patch on Thursday. I am aware that Fentyl is very very strong so is this why the suboxone isnt taking away all the wthdrawal symptoms like it did when I took it after stopping vicodin? I know that no ones an expert or Dr. in here, but I was just wondering what some of you might think about my question.
19164880 tn?1473283520 I have just come of Actiq and Fentanyl patch and understand your situation. I have decided not to opt for opiates except iv morphine if required for severe pain in hospital only for life threatening situation e.g. complete obstruction of the bowel. I have looked to alternative ways of pain management. It will not take the pain away only manage it. I found fentanyl did not alleviate all pain hence the actiq and that just gave a feel good factor (prescribed for cancer).
369629 tn?1237812958 The problem with Suboxone being that it is also a highly addictive drug, and the withdrawal from Suboxone is just as difficult, if not moreso, than any of the others. Sub in both of its forms (Subutex for the beginning of treatment and Suboxone for the maintenance phase) is a drug that is used to treat opiate dependence, however, like methadone, it too is addictive, so once you use Subutex and Suboxone to get away from the opiates, you then have to detox from the Suboxone.
Avatar f tn Hi, I was on Suboxone for 1 week only for my withdrawals from Fentanyl and Vicodin. I had to be supervised so that I only took the Suboxone for a week otherwise I would have stayed on it longer. The way they tapered me from it was by giving me a whole pill for 2 days, then a half pill for 2 days then a quarter pill for 2 days then they stopped. I felt some horrendous WD's because of the Fentanyl but non the less I never took the suboxone again.
Avatar f tn How to wean off Fentanyl patches and high doses of Vicodin? Anyone try Suboxone?
Avatar n tn im going through a rough time getting off norcos and percocets , and i have been on and off subutex for 2 yrs now but the secound i can get some norcos free i take them and my tolorance is the same even after being on 2 mg of subutex for 4 months , i still have to take 4 norcos to feel anything. anyway my question is do alot of you experience pain and aches on subutex or is it just from not haveing natrual pain killers anymore , i feel like im 60 yrs old on a daily basis , please let me know ?
Avatar f tn When you come into a substance abuse community and ask if Fentanyl is okay to take for Suboxone withdrawal you have to expect members are going to say it is dangerous. I think you already know that.
Avatar f tn "how soon after I stop taking this med will the withdrawals start?" You're have to stay on something for a period of time before you become addicted to it and you have to be addicted before you're going to go through withdrawals. I see you're on 100mcg Fentanyl patches.
Avatar f tn I have been on the fentanyl patches since 2007. The dosage going up and down and I've been in a number of pain clinics that still kept me on the patch plus breakthrough meds of different kinds. The pain clinic that I was just started in has taken me off the patch cold turkey and it is hell. The pain and sweats and yawning and pins and needles. Isn't there something that can help?
Avatar f tn Please help...I've decided to go off my pain meds and go on subutex and suboxone. So im on my second day of fentanyl 100mcg patch and dilaudid withdrawals. It's really bad already. Any suggestions how do you really know when your in full withdrawal. Before you start your subutex. Any and all advice would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn I've been an opiate addict for the better part of the last decade. My opiates of choice are oxycontin, and heroin. Over the past two years I've been introduced to Suboxone during several attempts to come off of opiates. Finally after several failed attempts, I went on suboxone for a year and a half. I started out taking 24mg per day, and over time tapered to 8mg per day. I used a lot of oxycontin and heroin, so the adjustment was rough, but eventually good.
Avatar m tn Any information on how to get off fentanyl and if thier any other pain medicine that could help with less risk of addiction or side effects?
