suboxone and opiates

Hi Casandra, welcome to the forum! Why are you asking this question? Are you pregnant and taking Suboxone? Are you taking Opiates? A bit more information will help us give you better advice. To attempt to answer your question, I believe that only certain doctors are able to prescribe Suboxone. I do not believe that an OB/GYN is one of them. I have no personal experience with Suboxone but other members here do. They will be along to weigh in soon.

hi, i am a suboxone user for 3 years and starting to taper down slowly. i am currently on 1mg morning and 1 mg evening. Yesterday i was prescribed tramadol by a different doctor for my pain and migraine. What i need to know is if it is OK to take tramadol while i am on suboxone? i am afraid that if i take tramadol tonight, the next morning when i dose my suboxone i will feel a very discomfort feeling or withdrawal.

s again and get off the Suboxone for the surgery? I know Sub blocks opiates.. but dont know about the gas to make you go to sleep for a surgery. I am hoping for a nerve block to manage the post operative pain. As I want to really get the opiates out of my life, But my pain is soo bad.. I cant walk/shop for groceries, stand to do dishes and take care of my house and its effecting my sleep.

Don't take opiates while on suboxone....while you won't feel the opiates because the sub blocks them, they will still be in the system and if you do too much you can overdose. And you're not going to get high anyways, so DONT TAKE THE CHANCE.

God forbid.....DON'T take suboxone when your taking opiates......You will crash very hard and go through W/D's that you never thought possible. In fact....it's dangerous!

s with suboxone. Check out the health pages on the top right that has a lot of info on Suboxone. Good luck and I know exactly how you feel.

com, we visited 3 different doctors with our problem and by that time we were introduced to suboxone, well here we are almost another 3 years later trying to come off suboxone, not at choice but we are now very happy to know the real truth, we couldn't be tapered either time especially this time since the doctor is out on vacation for the week and we have no way to get the rx needed, basically what im getting at is do your research, it's not gonna be easy, especially with KIDS, i have a

The buprenorphine in suboxone will also displace and block opiates from working properly.Dont start getting a habit with opiates and then take suboxone or you may go into precipitated withdrawal and its terrible...iv'e done it.I know its difficult,sweetheart,and most of the time we are missing and chasing that buzz,but you should give the suboxone a chance,just forget the opiates,and you will get a certain balance in your life.

I have been on suboxone therapy for 2 years now. I started it to get away from other opiates because I would build up such a tolerance which lead to dependence. Suboxone has worked great for managing my FM and I haven't had to increase my dose at all.

I guess my question is this.. If I switch between suboxone and percocet, will I become addicted to opiates anyway, because regardless of the two they are still both opiates. Also, how long does it take to get addicted to suboxone itself? I will stop everything now but I am curiouse. And how do I get the mood lift I get from these drugs naturally? I love how productive I am on them and well it stimulates my mind when I write music. THanks for the help.

You just need to first understand how suboxone works, and when and how much suboxone you need to take initially, and how much to take after your initial dose afterwards. Suboxone is a strong antagonist, which means it bonds well to the opiate receptors, but does not make you high. When it bonds to the opiate receptors, it "kicks off" other weaker opiates.

He seems to have done his homework as far as understanding addiction..... and offers methods, drugs, and alternatives for help getting off not only opiates.....but all the other drugs I see people struggling with on this site. I like that he believes that you gotta go to AA or NA in addition to his methods.... and he seems sympathetic to people getting off opiates and he acknowledges the fact that reducing your dose creates terrible w/d’s.

ve seen a lot of people talking about vitamins on here for withdrawals, what kind are they? And is anyone in the Nashville area and knows a good suboxone doctor. Id rather get my suboxone legal this time around. I want to close this chapter of my life so badly and move onto the next, but sometimes I just get so guilty and depressed that it makes me want to use even more, it honestly is a cycle... I'm 23, and ready to grow up.

I was once addicted to opiates during my medical residency in anesthesiology and was detoxed with the help of Suboxone. Now I successfully detox my patients from opiates (eg. morphine, Oxycontin) using regulated amounts of Suboxone and also detox my patients from Suboxone addiction when that drug has been misused. I have found that the optimal time to have someone on Suboxone is between 20 and 25 days, tapering down on the medication every few days.

if my son took an opiate while taking his suboxone will he test positive for opiates on a reg 10 panel drug screen? since suboxone blocks opiates in body will it block it on urine UDS.

Always one to correct wrong information for people reading in the future. Suboxone contains "Buprenorphine" which is a Partial Opiate Agonist.(or your could say, a partial opiate, I suppose.) and "Naloxone" which is a Complete Opiate Antagonist.(blocker) NOT "a potent synthetic opiate (narcotic) and partial opiate blocker." In England, they are allowed to prescribe Subutex (Suboxone without the Naloxone) and Suboxone for pain.

Suboxone may curb cravings for other opiates and allow people to stop stealing and get their lives in order. But the problem is that, after three months or so, they have terrible difficulties quitting Suboxone because of its sheer strength in binding to opiate receptors, its long half-life, and the fact that it’s a partial-agonist binding to receptors built for full agonists. most people, including physicians, do not comprehend the strength and effects of buprenorphine.

I absolutely do not recommend this. I once tapered from Suboxone and was about to jump- thought some short lasting opiates like Norco would help me and ended up right back where I started please hear my caution. And know it's from concern not condemnation.

Somehow I made a halfway plan to take 1 8mg Suboxone a day and take 3 Lyrica.Well its day 26 and I still have 12 Suboxone left and 4 Lyrica. I did good on one and poorly on the other.I am rather proud of myself and I read your post and experiences on ways to taper since my doctor doesn't care.My question is which should I try hardest to kick 1st? I see my doctor in 2 days and wonder what my next plan is and I am willing to do everything to beat this once and for all.

What if you are taking suboxone and try to take opiates within 24 hours after your last sub dose and of course you don't feel the effects of the opiates because the suboxone in your body blocked it? Do the opiates stay in your body or just get flushed out since they can't stick to your receptors?

Ok I am on suboxone now and was once on methadone and also I am pregnant. I mean it's best to be on nothing while pregnant but some just can't do that without being extremely sick. From what I've read methadone has been studied for years and has been proven to have no danger to a baby accept that your baby will likely go through withdrawl and you might even have to give it morphine when it comes home.

Buprenorphine is the active ingredient in Suboxone, Subutex, and Buprenex. Suboxone has a added ingredient called Naloxone. This was added to prevent abuse, and the Naloxone in Suboxone will allegedly cause immediate withdrawal if the Suboxone is injected or possibly snorted.

I have been on subutex for 2 years and I try to take Suboxone it threw me into withdrawals really bad y is that

That's a tough question and one people on here are reluctant to give strong advise on. If you can get off the pills without suboxone, that's obviously the way to go. If you've been trying repeatedly and keep relapsing maybe it's time to try the subs. I don't know. The stuff I've read about them on here indicates that you should use them for as brief a period as possible because they're tough to get off of.

Well honey, you have to taper, unless you want to have withdrawls. I don' know about the tests, but I do know the Sub has to have a slow taper, or you will be hurtin bad!!! I just started the sub and my Doctor and I've already touched on the taper. Be safe, and Good luck! Sorry about the circumstances you've been put in!

I'm pretty sure this will bring on "precipitated withdrawals" being that you aren't in full withdrawal. I had to have all opiates out of my system for 2 1/2 days before they would start me on suboxone. I was for-warned it would be bad if I didn't. And many people on this site have learned this deal the hard way.
