463176 tn?1212465358 This is really up to you. Suboxone would be the better choice between methadone and suboxone. But either way you will still have to come off at some point. If you just want to get it over with, I reccomend that you just do cold turkey.
1800740 tn?1324237171 Can you tell me what milligram dosage suboxone he will prescribe for a 30 mg per day methadone user. Suboxone is very expensive & if I need more than 8mg per day I can't afford it in addition to the cost of the dr. visits.

Avatar n tn However it may be helpful in helping you quit methadone. Ive heard withdrawal from methadone and suboxone can be very similar so I caution against long term sub use.. it seems the least amount of sub for the shortest amount of time is the best way to go. I have heard from people who used it for about 10-15 days and it helped tremendously. Do your research on it though - thats the best advice I can give you. Knowledge is power.
Avatar f tn For all intents and purposes, (as a maintenence drug)suboxone functions much the same as methadone, but it isnt monitered as strictly and doesnt require daily dispensing from a busy (and seedy) clinic. Its also very good short term as an opioid detox aide provided it is used for a very short period (2-3 weeks). I actually used suboxone to detox of an 11 and a half year methadone addiction. It worked great!
1800740 tn?1324237171 ***Im using my phone to text/type all this **** so Im sorry its know like 5 pieces...Jesus. All i wanted was to warn about the people who are not only new to this but also maybe misinformed about just how different these are. Ok...i wasn't feeling well awhile after taking my regular 120mg dose of methadone...for some reason i still felt ill. Knowing Im in a methadone maintenance program: which is used to treat the symptoms and cravings of addiction ....
Avatar n tn With the amount of oxy he was taken sub might not work, the dose can only go so high and then it actually acts as anti-opiate, the oens used in overdoses, whereas methadone is a full agonist and you can go higher and higher whatever you need to make you comfortable and stable. both give you a mild buzz, and both are complete hell to get off of. sub is just as hard no matter what anyone else says. its just as hard as methadone, its opiate withdrawal times two months. it *****.
Avatar f tn what will happen if I take Methadone over Suboxone? Will it have any effects or Suboxone will block that since it is an opiiate blocker?
1361759 tn?1280033031 I'm currently on methadone 95 mg, and not knowing nothing bout suboxone i took it when i couldnt find my take home bottle. Now im in so much pain, and agony its hard to describe. Tommorrow i have to go get dosed again with meth...will i feel better tomorrow? after i get dosed? or will i feel worse? Why do i feel the way i do? Id appreciate any info.
Avatar f tn i KNEW ahead of time i wouldnt be doing any 5, 10 or even 21 day detox with suboxone because of the length of time methadone withdrawals CAN last, and i was right... and sure enough because of my dose and length of time on methadone it was almost the full 6 weeks before i really felt the normalcy everyone (who transitions from a short acting opiate) says they felt on their very first day on suboxone.
Avatar f tn i understand i went from pain pills, to herion to methadone to pain pills to suboxone to pain pills to herion to methadone to suboxone to pain pills to methadone to sub....on and on for 10 wasted years, my last desperate attempt at taking pills to cure my addiction was revia, even that stuff made me sick hope my experiecne helps...
416662 tn?1202756931 who are all of you and all of the homeless people who have this addiction disease. We all stand together and let our families and friends and public know that this is not a behavioral issue. This is a disease and we will stand together and beat it. Hugz and Luvz:) Well they started me on 30mg and I felt amazing! I went all the way up to 80mg and then had to leave for Japan to tour for a month.
1091982 tn?1256942513 my family doctor suggested that i try suboxone. i have tried methadone clinics in the past, and i get much higher doses than any doctor would give me, but i cannot afford the private 13 dollar a day clinic, and the "free' clinic just feels too much like scoring to me. I was supposed to have knee surgery today, but my anesthesiologist canceled it because i could barely speak on the phone yesterday.
7608252 tn?1392564364 Did you cut your methadone dose before starting the Suboxone? It is best to get down to 25mg of methadone and then wait until you are in withdrawals to start the Suboxone. I got mad at my clinic and switched at 80 mg. I waited 4 days to take my 1st dose and it was tough but doable. It took a couple days until I felt normal again.
Avatar f tn it is much harder to go from methadone to suboxone because of the half life of methadone, it stays in your system forever it seems...if you are going to do a taper or cold turkey, its not fun and its hard, up to 6 weeks of being quite ill, and then you have the PAWS to contend with...i couldnt do it, if you MUST work, then you should look into suboxone...you would only need 3-4 days off from work and then you would be ok to return, in most cases anyway.
Avatar n tn Has anyone detoxed off of methadone with the medication Suboxone, and how did it go?
Avatar f tn They treat many women on methadone and other opiates and will be able to refer you to a physician who will be able to manage you on Suboxone or Subutex and will over a few months taper you off. You and the doctor will need to work together to aggressively get you off the meds by the time you are ready to deliver the baby. Subutex is the best and safest way to manage addiction during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn I have seen many people get addicted to methadone and suboxone.. Also when I went through my withdrawal with no meds, it keeps a clear picture in your head about how horrible withdrawal is, and how I never want to feel that way again. (and you don't have to feel that way again if you don't pick-up) The good news is Major withdrawal will be over in a couple of days, Then the real challenge comes in on how to live sober!!!!
537731 tn?1268265286 She said I will always have to go up in dosage on Percocet and with Methadone I wouildnt and that the difference between sub and methadone is sub blocks opiates and doesnt help with pain but methadone was. I have been on the same dosage of perc for years and they dont work as much as they use to. I was just worried about getting my prescription filled period I wasn't going to bring up I am taking more and they dont work the same I am still in pain taking them.
