suboxone

Avatar f tn An Overview As with any medication, there possible side effects with ZocorĀ® (simvastatin), including problems with the liver.
Avatar f tn I had a liver function done before I started Suboxone and then again when I was half way finished with it. Suboxone is very hard on your liver.
Avatar n tn if you have pain around liver area i would go to get tested straight away and then u will know and hopefully your ok but if not your still young and most liklely healthy and have great chance of curing with treatment,the more damage ya liver has the harder it is to beat.sorry to be blunt but i think its best if people get tested just to make sure instead of wait and wait and assume and guess.just trying to give you some good advice and good luck hope to god you dont have it.
Avatar f tn Hi, I was on Suboxone for 3 1/2 years and my ankles were frequently swollen during that time. I have not drank in over 25 years. I recently asked to try Subutex to see if it made a difference. It did, immediately. I also have been Dx'd with HVC so I don't know if the Suboxone was effecting my liver function or what. Too early to tell as I just started on the Subutex one month ago. Hope this helps you.
Avatar m tn I have recently noticed rapid weight loss and no apetite. Ive lost about 20lbs in a couple months and a pound daily. I am now concerned about liver problems.. history of kidney stones so i thought the pain was kidney stone related, but more now points to liver. I feel I need to stop tonight, and really scared for my health. im 26 yrs old with a family of 4. What are opinions and what do i do? I think i can handle detox from vicoden on my own.. but xanax??
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with hep c after years of drug abuse and after I checked into long term rehab. I went into liver failure and almost died. I went to my GI Dr and was told the virus wasn't active. That was a year ago. I recently started a Suboxone treatment and have found out my GI Dr was wrong the hep c is still active and I'm afraid the suboxone has made it worse. I'm jaundice, extremely ill and scared to death. I go see my Dr Monday, anyone have any experience like mine.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn I'm currently on suboxone and my liver enzymes are little high, and I've been told milk thistle may help. I've read many stories about these two drug interactions. So, Im wondering if it is safe to take suboxone and milk thistle together ?
Avatar f tn I chose to come off the suboxone and the pain in my joints and lower back has got unbearable. My history with drug abuse has made it hard to even get ibuprofen. I realize its my fault but now what am I too do? I don't know how long I have had the hep C. I don't know what to expect at the apt and will this Dr help me control the pain? Im on strong water pills now for the water retention and blood pressure pills. Im on so much medication its crazy... Now this...
Monkey Yes, Suboxone can be used to treat pain both in patients with opioid dependence and in those without it. However, it may or may not be effective in every patient. Please ask your doctor regarding whether it will be suitable for you or not. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.

Avatar n tn Most medicine effects the liver. Suboxone included. Any increase in ALT levels usually indicates liver damage because the enzyme generally will spill into the blood only when there IS liver damage. I hope that helps. If you're concerned,go ahead and ask for a blood test. It's included in a standard panel.If there's any info about this particular drug and ALT levels it may be under hematology. But I don't know.
Avatar f tn I have been on suboxone for years and when i started using the first time i took 2 mgs of suboxone and was extremely loaded! People listen to you and may take your advise and pay a very steep price. please know what you are saying.
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 Your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow (jaundice) Your urine turns dark Your bowel movements (stools) turn light in color You don't feel like eating much food for several days or longer You feel sick to your stomach (nauseated) You have lower-stomach pain Cytolytic hepatitis and hepatitis with jaundice have been observed in the addicted population receiving buprenorphine. Your doctor may do blood tests while you are taking SUBOXONE to ensure that your liver is okay.
Avatar f tn This is what I could find as per the interaction between Suboxone and Trileptal but all this should be discussed with your psychiatrist who could (and should be doing) a search on the physician's only database all doctors have access to.
Avatar n tn 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..
Avatar m tn 20-25 per day can easily cause permanent liver damage and a simple blood test can determine if and how much damage has occurred. Taking 50 tylenol at once can kill the liver (which is what kills someone who commits suicide by tylenol overdose). You can imagine that taking 50 over two days also does damage. Suboxone is a very different opiate known as an agonist/antagonist which acts on the same opiate receptors in the brain but blocks euphoria while preventing withdrawal symptoms.
Avatar m tn i havent seen a post where people talk about the damage the pills have caused their liver or kidneys. has anyone had any problems with their liver or kidney?
Avatar n tn Doctor told me that there would be no problems as far as anaesthesia and suboxone. And I had none. But this has just been my experience.

1383377 tn?1279384982 I am an alcolic...and about 2 weeks ago, my doctor took tests on my liver and the results came back very bad, especially for my age(23). Apparently my liver is seriously damaged. I haven't drank since I heard the news but what I want to know is...if I get a new tattoo....can my damaged liver prevent it from healing right? I know the liver filters the toxins in your body and helps you recover, but would my liver affect my new tattoo in any way? Does anybody have any idea??

Avatar f tn I was sent to one and I found out that I have non alocoholic fatty liver . Its normal to feel tired and Dizzy It all comes with having a non normal liver at the moment I dont know if I answered your question but If you want to chat add me as a friend if you want.
Avatar f tn Also, a right upper abdomen pain that is referred to the shoulder can be due to liver and gall bladder problems, heavy meals or acidity that cause distension of the duodenum or any cause for distension of the small intestine. The symptoms could be signs of mild cirrhosis or stricture or stone in common bile duct or liver fibrosis. It could also be fatty liver. In your case alcohol and drug related causes are ruled out.
Avatar n tn Im a 19 year old girl, and just got some test results back today, and the doc says my liver results are high.. They are suppost to be (0-45) and they are 122 U/L and the other is suppost to be (0-41) and it is 124.. He says it may very well be fatty liver, as i am slightly over weight.. is this anythings to worry about? And what are the treatments? And what else could it be? I drink about once a month, but eat take away about 2-3 times a week..
Avatar f tn The interpretation of elevated AST and ALT levels depends upon the entire clinical evaluation of an individual, and so it is best done by physicians experienced in evaluating liver disease and muscle disease. AST and ALT are elevated in people with cardiovascular, liver and muscle disease. What can you do about this? GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR DOCTOR ASAP. This doesn't happen overnight. It takes years to develop. Your doctor hasn't mentioned this before? Good luck.
