Suboxone and weight loss
Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone and weight loss
suboxone
t come back for weeks and weeks. So the Suboxone might just be restoring your normal appetite-- and the weight loss while off them was the effects of no appetite from opiate withdrawal.
As for the 'just screw it' comment, and as a psychiatrist, I urge you to take a good look at that thought, because those sorts of thoughts are what lead to people destroying themselves.
She called the DEA and then called the weight loss doctor. The weight loss doc is the one that called me. Told me what the pharmacist said. I am fine with quitting the subox, i might need one more month to do it. And I'm fine with quitting the other. But...could i be in trouble with the DEA? I know i can't go back to the weight loss clinic. But I'm supposed to see the subox doc tomorrow. Should i call the DEA myself,explain? I didn't realize it was a problem....
I tapered off of it only to find the massive weight loss was due to my malfunctioning gall bladder. It was then that my life changed drastically!! I suffered complications after the surgery to remove my gallbladder, spleen and appendix. I was on narcotic meds for almost 2 years. It didnt take long for me to become powerless to opiates. My guess is the opiates acted much like the adderall did as far as ADD is concerned.
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. From all I've heard from actual people who used it the best way is to taper down to a tiny sliver or crumb of suboxone, then take that crumb or sliver every few days, then none.
If you are on suboxone, no one will notice. Your eyes will not be pinned like on other opiates and will not nod off. This drug is not intended to get you high like others. It is a detox weaning drug and it does work. If you really hate being on opiates and if you really do want to free yourself of the horrible bondage, then I would heartily suggest you go on suboxone and get clean. Don't waste any more time wavering. Go for it and good luck!
I have found related posts and questions but no real precise answers or experiences but my question is - has anyone had a confirmed causal relationship between hair loss and suboxone? My hair is thinning evenly throughout my entire scalp. I have seen posts of it might be your thyroid, it might be.. Does anyone have the experience of a diagnosis? Has anyone experienced hair regrowth upon fixing a thyroid, hormonal problem, etc. Has anyone experienced hair regrowth upon stopping suboxone?
Also my weight this time has dropped from over approx 100kg to about 86kg, the main weight loss has been bum and legs. I am generally very tired. 5 months back i had mri, which ruled out ms, I also had emc test and was told to stop worring and its stress. I did put it behind me for some months but its still there and in my opinion getting worse...I am also quiet nasally and have phlegm but no cold/flu. I have crohn's but under control.
And as I seen here in the comments most of everyone on the methadone program has gained a significant amount of weight but on the other hand, My boyfriend is now on 9 mg and has lost a significant amount of weight since Christmas 2014, he was 154 and now down to 129, and it concerns me that he might be sick with cancer, or its just a side affect from the meds because he is now literally skin and bones no muscle feeling at all when I touch him or cuddle him, it freaks me out for him to be this w
But of course the doctors are never wrong. In (07) I went for a full Gastric Bypass to GAIN WEIGHT and at this time 5 years laster stuck on pain killers and the surgery I lost teeth Vitamin deff. Body all screwed up etc(thank god im in the dental industry) But havent worked) ALL I WANT IS MY HEALTH. NOW IM ADDICTED TO PAIN MEDS the DOC who prescribed said u would be deppended but not addidted< I said whats the difference.
does suboxone affect pregnancy test at home, i've missed 4periods and urine home test says negative but i think i have pregnancy symptoms.
I struggled with addiction for 6 years was on methadone for 2 years and on suboxone for 3 1/2 and had tried on several occasions to stop and couldn't believe how hard it was to stop taking the subutex/suboxone it is just as hard as everything else. The doctors were very misleading about that fact, but the women who works at the front dest of the doctors office gave me a samples of this drug to try one I started tapering down and you stay on it for 14 days and now after 11 years in FREE!!!
1 185 to 245 but I had a sweet tooth that was non stop
once I came off the stuff got down in the 60 s and below I lost my sweet tooth and the weight came off im at 180 now 2yrs after detox my advise is keep lowering your dose eventually the weight will start to come off and overall you will be much better off both physically and mentally off the crap I feel greaat thes days cant say I ever felt great on methadone it worth the struggle to get off good luck and God bless.....
Ive been taking 5-6 750mg vicoden for 2 years and 1 1/2mg of xanax for about 5 yrs.. I have severe back pain and severe anxiety. 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.
Sounds like you on to much
based on what i heard in your post is that .. your switching to suboxone and the doc wants you to start the suboxone having gone a full day into withdrawl..if that is the situation it makes sense reasoning being when you take suboxone ( not subutex) it conrains Nalaxone and Nalaxone will send you into full withdrawl. So this is why u must be already in w/d to take it.. i hope that helps..
There are healthy ways to lose weight and that could be discussed in the specific forum but obtaining a nutrionist is best and Weight Watchers good as well but avoid weight loss products. Most are unhealthy or useless. And products with Nutrasweet should be avoided as well as that can worsen depression (as some studies show). Replace all sugared drinks with flavored seltzer water for starters. That worked for me.
