Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone and heart problems
suboxone
I was having bad withdrawels and went to a psychiatrist and he put me on suboxone and i came off of that in 9 days. I went through a much milder form of withdrawel from the suboxone and then things settled down and I seemed to feel much better finally. Now it is in August and i am having throat swelling and diffuculty with breathing. I have no energy at night. Has anyone here ever had symptoms like this. It really gets difficult to function around this.
I read further and found out subtutex and suboxone are very very similar, I wish I could copy and paste the link but im on my phone. Anyway, Im confused now that you were fine with suboxone but the subtutex gives you such horrible side affects when they are almost the same. I wish I knew more to tell you, except if it does that to you, it can not be safe to take. I really hope you find a solution to all this and thst your okay.
Now he is having problems and they say getting worse. they keep upping his dosage. I dont want them to do this and they say then my insurance wont pay for the bill if i refuse treatment. I hae asked them to start reducing his dosage so he can come home. He is fine when i am there holding him. he eats well and he doesnt cry. he only has these crying fits when i am gone. The hospital is saying he is not restin and that is the problem. he has also lost 11 oz since he was put in nicu.
I have had back problems and severe pain for years. I started with lorcete and worked my way up to 180 mg of morphine daily, plus 6-8 10/650 hydros. every day for the last five years. I never took more than I was perscribed. that doesn't mean im not addicted cause i am. but i had no idea how bad. Now my dr. is retireing and says come pick up your records. I thought well maybe I can wein myself off while i have meds. first i cut the morphine dosage in half for a week. that sucked.
I am not sure if I am waking up because the half life of the suboxone is not as long as it used to be, and I begin detoxing in my sleep, or what the problem is. I have always taken a little suboxone right before bed, so I do not think this is the culprit. There are some pressures in my life right now, but I do not feel as if I am stressed out, in which I really never am.
ochooked quit taking sub and has stayed clean..there are many others...post a new question asking who has used sub and then kicked it and stayed clean..they r out there..uu r doing a good thing..but kicking another narcotic is probably not what u had in mind...hind sight is 20/20...but this is where ur are now and it sounds like u r doing a good job getting clean..meetings are so important and i see so few on here that go to them..put all the balls in ur court..
Suboxone is a toxin to the body. Many people have had enzyme problems after long term use of suboxone. The problem is, there have never been clinical studies of long term buprenorphine use. Therefore, a doctor has no proof of this drugs effects. It was never meant to be used beyond detox from other opiates. It is likely that the subs are causing your problem, not cancer. This is only my opinion, as there is no research to back what I am saying.
Long time Suboxone user having some health problems. On 12mg for years. Kidney function starting to get bad, of course I wasnt told about it until I saw gfr level at 60 and the last gfr at 80. Dont think 60 was accurate but GFR is. Does Suboxone damage kidneys, if so why doesnt anyone tell us this as I would have never taken this crap. In the last 2 years i have been diagnosed with low test, diabetes 2, and now kidney probs.
He began Suboxone treatment and is now weaning off of the Suboxone, and is now down to 1/4 of 8 mg. per day. I do not do any drugs, so I have a difficult time being able to tell what is normal and/or side effects of drug abuse. I have noticed in the last week (during his tapering off), his moodiness has returned, and he is not being as affectionate as he was being while on the Sub. As far as our sex life, it seems to be almost non-existant.
Just wondering if anybody else out there is taking this combination.i do have ADHD but also a 12 year addiction to opiates.so I read that people who are not treated for ADHD tend to self medicate.it was for legitimate pain at first after breaking back.so I talked to my doctor about it,and man what a difference in down from 16mg suboxone to 8mg after starting the vyvanse,at first I never thought I would ever come off suboxone.next month going to 4mg and so on until I'm off.
have been taking vicodin for over 2 years now. I was even on percoset then told my paid doctor that I was ready to move back down the chain to wing off. Of course I said that because my 60-90 percoset was out after 5-7 days. I was on Vicodin 10 and now the ES. I would get 120 a month and they would last about 1 week. I take 10+ a day. I even get into my husbands who does not have a problem and will take from others if I know they have some.
Suboxone has a special place in my heart where my hatred lies. If I could go back before I decided suboxone would be a good idea, I would kick myself and my doctor in the teeth. Im currently 2 weeks without suboxone after 3 years of it. and I cant belive how horrible the withdrawals were. had I known then what I know now... I would have kicked heroin/oxys by it self in a heart beat.
Please don't be another number.
I was on Suboxone for 8 months (2mg daily) in 2006 and decided to quit pretty much cold - it was hell. It literally took a month before I was sleeping and feeling normal. It was hell!
I quit for 18 months and now have been back on Suboxone for 1 year. I've never had an issue with anything but percoset. This time I am trying to quit it with Clonidine. I've only ever taken about 2mg of Suboxone per day and I'm told the Clonidine should help with little to no problems.
I had an ACDF in may 2012 following a car accident that occurred in March of 2012. After the surgery I felt great and went on back on suboxone with the same doctor that put me on it before the accident. Was doing great it didn't last long.
Around mid Dec. 2012 my symptoms before the surgery came back worse then before. I went to my suboxone doctor and he did a cortisone shot, trigger shots, mri, and prescribe a muscle relaxer.
s own problems. You NEED a plan to taper off Suboxone right away. It will make withdrawl days bearable and maybe even get rid of them all together, but the longer you take Suboxone, the more chance you will have to be addicted to it as well. Suboxone should be used as a last resort, but if you choose this route, once you feel good which will be pretty quickly, then come up with a taper plan within the week or so and try to be off of it within the first month, 2 tops.
I am very seriously looking into the suboxone treatment and I think it will work for me.I have easy access to the oxy and I need my own plan so I don't have to worry about going back to oxy because of withdraws. I have also looked up the local NA chapter and found meetings to go to after I start the treatment. I feeling so much better now that I have a plan and can do this and get my life back.
I used to use drugs(mainly heroin) 2 years ago but have been on the suboxone treatment since and it has been a miracle for me and my life had come back once I started the treatment. I take 8mg buprenorphine( 2X a day) and .1mg clonidine( 2X a day). Recently my doctor put me on clonidine for anxiety and high blood pressure( constantly 140/100 being calm.
I guess I was wrong. You know were able to take a heart from one man and put it in another and they walk away, and were able to leave this plannet to go to another, but when it comes to an adiction their doesn't seem to be any answers through out the medical community. or maybe could it be an " I told you so " kind of thing...............
had I only known and understood. -- However, another hospital admitted me ... and yes, they gave me suboxone too. They discharged me five days later - WITH a bottle of suboxone to take with ... and told me to find a Doc. that dispensed it, a.s.a.p. -- I wish that I had gone online then and investigated this medication that I had never heard of before ... but I did not.
i keep forgetting. i did a full work up in the hospital. i thought my heart was bad and they took tons blood and did a radiation stress test. i went so crazy on the internet and founs sepsis and went crazy. i went to the hospital 5 times to ask different doctors questions. i guess my anxiety kicked in. all of them told me it wasnt sepsis.then i went back to the hospital that did the heart test and asked them to look at my white blood cells. they did. they were normal.
I dont know anything about Lyrica other than a cousin takes it for fibro and it works well for her. Regarding suboxone how much are you taking? For how long have you been on it? I did not gain weight on suboxone, but it did make me tired alot and nod at times. Maybe this is why you've gained weight? Do you take it for pain or as a maintenance drug? Kicking suboxone is very possible. I am 6 months clean from 2 1/2 years on suboxone.
