suboxone and morphine

the hospital that my newborn is at is treating my baby with morphine and quanadine for what they say are suboxone withdrawls. he wa doing ok untl they put hin in the nicu. 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.

If you do not have a habit and take dilaudid and suboxen at the same time, the suboxen will beat the morphine to the receptors and completely block them from the morphine getting into them. You will not feel anything from the dilaudid.

Hey, I have too went from Methadone to Suboxone. I was on 90 mg's of Methadone before switching over. You have to be extremely carefull when doing so, because if you have a trace of morphine in your system, it could put you into what they call precipitated withdrawals ( forgive me if you already know that ).

Naloxone blocks the effects of opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin. If Suboxone is injected, naloxone will block the effects of buprenorphine and lead to withdrawal symptoms in a person with an opioid addiction. When administered under the tongue as directed, naloxone will not affect the actions of buprenorphine.

How much morphine and how long have you been using it? Morphine is natural and one of the faster detoxes. I was on high dose methadone, so subs save my life, but methadone is synthetic, just like subs. It lingers in your system for a long time and causes extended withdrawal. Subs can be acquired with a voucher from the manufacturer for up to a year, but I don't think that would be the easiest way in your situation.

Ok I have been on suboxone for 7 years ..that is right 7 years and before that 5 years of oxycontin OC and heroin. total of 12 years of substances. I just found out that I have cancer and will need a hysterectomy in a dew days. The oncologist put me on 30mg of Oxycontin OP a week ago while I get the suboxone out of my system. I need it out of my system in order to be treated for pain. (I had a C- section on subutex and it was HELL!!!

I was taking 600mg of morphine daily for 4 years. I been off all opiods for 48+ hours and I feel like **** now and I feel that the suboxone not even working. I also feel that the dr. didn't dose me right. I taking 8mg of suboxone. Everyone swears by it I hate it. I want to feel better but if not in 3 days i feel I have to start back on my drug of choice or start methadone. I want to be on the right path I don't want to waste the $250 I spent on the suboxone visit today.

What is the difference with subtex and suboxone? Why would a Dr refuse to prescribe me subtex over suboxone for pain management if I have never admitted or reported or been caught as an opiate addict?

using narcotics during detox is not a real good idea as it is not defined as a detox if u r taking them....it will prolong this even longer if u continue...what was ur original dose? and DOC?...u may have needed to taper down a bit if it was a high dose...if u detox and quit taking narcotics the amount u used daily and the DOC can help determine how long til u feel better plus age, nutrional status and other things....1 week for most...2 weeks for some til the physical symptoms are gone...

Thanks guys! I think I get it now. So I totally screwed up by taking the 4 suboxone that I had to try to help me with the w/d of the morphine. Damn! But those 4 I took were the first in months. Do u think just 4 would make me feel w/d days later? I feel crappy again today. But a little better than yesterday. I guess that's how this works right? I swear once I get through this, I never want to see another pain pill again!

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 ?

I was on MS Contin 100 mg pills, my script was 120 of them a month (4 x daily) and that script is around $1150. Suboxone is about half of that. The people I know that were on it before me said they got it from an addictionologist or someone like that. I also know methadone clinics do prescribe suboxone as well, but you would have to enroll in there program.

1 You will be in a wheelchair by the age of 55-60, you need pain management and surgery. Told me that he knew I was on suboxone, and therefore could not write me any prescription for pain. ( what do they have some kind of data they have access to making it available for them to see that I am taking suboxone?) I was going to tell him but the first thing out of his mouth when he came in the room was that. 2.

I would suggest not to detox off the xanax and restoril at the same time as the pain pills. Your dose of morphine (oral) and oxy aren't that high and you could cut 15% of the dose every other day . The detox from the benzos (temazapan-restoril and xanax-aprolazam) can be much more difficult and needs medical supervision.

Before I address that though, I wanted to also address the damage you are doing to your liver because of the amount of acetaminophen you ingest by taking both percocets and Coricidin. Just Something to think about. Now let me tel you about Suboxone. Suboxone is the brand name for a medication consisting of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a thebaine derivative with powerful analgesia approximately 20-40x more potent than morphine.

Hi..I'm new here and hoping that someone might be able to answer this question. Can Elavil be used as an effective means to releive morphine withdrawl symtoms? I'm about to go down that road and I know the agony of withdrawl from morphine and don't want to go through it again...or at least as bad as it was before. I have decreased my morphine intake from 150mg a day down to 90mg within two days.

ve read, and from my doctor, I will not feel the heaviness that comes with the morphine, the morphine haze, the deep separation I am feeling from mind and spirit and life....and because I am such a wimp about detoxing, from morphine I'm hopeful the suboxone will be a good stepping stone down to nothing. I'm hoping switching over to the suboxone will give me back some clarity in mind, and it is my plan that once I'm stable on it 3 weeks or so to start to taper...

I take a 12 panel urine test for my pain management doctor and i ONLY TAKE my prescribed meds which are suboxone and colonapine. they have us pee in a self testing cup "right there" and it shows up as having morphine and codeine then they send it to the lab and it still reads positive for them what makes it show up i dont take anything else but that and sometimes ibprophen it happened twicw now and im going to get cut off what is happening??????

I lost my sex drive while on Lortabs and now I'm on Suboxone and still don't have a sex drive, anybody like me or have comments?

The Suboxone does work! I did the program, used both Subutex and Suboxone, either one was fine and did the job. It got me off pills long enough to get my mind in a sober place and I was slowly weaned off. There is a lot of work to do. AA or NA meetings everyday, every single day, a sponsor, working a 12 step program, finding out what the hole was you were trying to fill with drugs, many things have to be done in conjunction with Suboxone. It helps with w/d's but it's not a cure.

Welcome TTC Actually, clean opiates, once off them and through the w/d don't leave permanent damage. At least I know that is true for plain morphine, oxycodone because it is synthetic I don't know... that is just the body. The emotional, mental aspects can take longer, but I found after 10 years of addiction to morphine, once I was off I felt completely normal after about 6 months... Functional after 1 month. The first 2 weeks off I was very messed up.

I took suboxone for nearly 4 years and it was just as difficult to get off of as methadone. It is quite strong and stays in your system for a long time, so the withdrawal is much longer than a regular opiate. The morphine should not set you back too far, the typical withdrawal is only about 4-5 days and as you are learning, the mental part is some cases is the worst.

The suboxone was like a miracle drug for me because I was heavily into percs, fetanyl patches and morphine. There were really no withdrawals for me. Sounds like the same for you. The only thing suboxone won't do is to change your drug seeking behavior. We speant so much time seeking and under the influence that many of us don't know what to do with the "sober time." Too much alone time caused me to relapse, but I've been clean for awhile now. Good luck to you!

Only and the most disturbing reason is: Suboxone has Naloxon substance in it,so any another pain medication cannot be prescribed you at the moment because taking it would cost very bad opiate based withdrawal symptoms and may cause some decrease in your current decease.So,that's an cardinal and very stupid from them to prescribe you Suboxone at this moment!

I am currently taking Morphine Sulfide 100MG X 4 daily and Morphine IR 15MG X 6 daily for severe abdominal pain. Unfortunately I am starting to experience a horrible side affect that causes my blood to feel like it is on fire, which causes me to sweat horribly and feel like I am running a fever. I have tried fentynol patches, but experienced severe mental side efffects and could not continue use.

fibromyalgia but I am going to have back surgery for stenosis and want to stop my narcotic meds. I have morphine cr 45mg 3x/day which I asked to change due to side effects. Dr put me on Oxycodone 20mg 4x/day. After my back surgery recuperation I want to stop the meds. Which one should I be on for an easier withdrawal. I am scared because I have been on this for ages. When I have the surgery I can ask the dr to use the med that would be easier for me to withdraw so what do you think.

It is admirable that you want to get off of heroin, it is a relatively short acting opiate and you would have probably started feeling your withdrawals already if you did not take Suboxone. Now let me tel you about Suboxone. Suboxone is the brand name for a medication consisting of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a thebaine derivative with powerful analgesia approximately 20-40x more potent than morphine.

hey mate congrats on 4s days that's wicked try natrual stuff melatoin we not allowed to give dosage advise here mate do what u think is right but if you've gone 4 days witout I wouldn't take again I'm comin off 90 mgs of morphine its hard but worth it goodluck from oz and keep posting xoxoxox

However many individuals who start using it to treat their addiction, become addicted to Suboxone itself. Having said that it is still a viable option and does work for some people as a tapering tool off of opiates. But you are saying that you are already feeling relatively well off of methadone, so why would you want to go back on an opiate again, may be you can just continue and stick it out and be drug free?

My friend successfully completed suboxone and said it was alot easier than methadone, and Ive come off methadone and had those w/d's so that gave me confindence. This drug is definetely something you dont want to take any longer than absolutely needed, the w/d's for most are moderate to severe and depending on how long youve taken it, decides how long the w/d's last.
