suboxone
Also I have been on opiates a total of 15yrs straight, the last two years have been Suboxone but most of that time was methadone. I went to rapid detox and when I came back I felt awesome for about two weeks, I was doing everything I wanted to do and then I started feeling the withdrawal from the methadone something fierce, it continually got worse each day and I made it six weeks and still felt like total death. No sleep and nothing but cringing when I moved from the air hitting my body.
Hey Chris and welcome. I am a heroin addict and am now on suboxone and it saved my life. Yes suboxone WD is worst then heroin BUT if u do a very long slow taper u will have little to no WD symptoms. If u ever want to talk about anything please PM me and we can talk. A lot of ppl don't agree with suboxone but in reality u can't taper from heroin like u could if u were on pills. Suboxone was the best thing I did for myself. How much H were u using a day? Were u an iv user?
My daughter has had a drug addiction to many drugs, went to rehab, but when she came out, went right back to the drugs, her doctor wants to start her on a suboxone detox. Is this a good idea, since she doesn't do drugs every day, but when she does, she does have withdrawl symptoms because of the inconsistency in use.
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. This makes the physical symptoms of detox very manageable, without causing the patient to become cross-addicted to Suboxone.
I was going to go to a suboxone dr on the 10th but I honestly feel like it would be trading one addiction for another. And well I deserve better and so does my family. I am not going to lie and say I don't want the pills at all. But I can honestly say the craving is not nearly as bad as it was last week or the month before. I look at my children and know they deserve me all of me. I guess I just need a outlet to talk about this as I go through it.
Looking into a local clinic that specializes in Suboxone. Iam in great need of info and help, i need off these things any other ways out there?
rapid detox has recently come under fire due to some facilities being unregulated and not adhering to safety measures. The Waismann Method is vastly different than any other rapid detox treatments because of their high safety protocols.
1) they perform in-patient in the ICU of a JCAHO accredited full service hospital.
Five years ago, when Suboxone was first released, it was used mostly for 'quick detox'. Now it has been realized that most of those people simply kept using opiates, so most scripts are used for longer-term treatment.
As for the method, different places did it differently; some would simply ask the person to come in after being in severe W/D, and give them a couple Suboxone to relieve their symptoms, then let the Suboxone slowly wear off.
Try Suboxone? Worked 4 me doing + 200 mg/day. Also weened off the Suboxone with right DR who monitored me through detox. Earlier attempts w/ other Dr.s ir PA's just handing me a script didn't stick. Also seemed interested in taking me from one addiction to another. GOOD LUCK!
What's your current dose of methadone? How long is this "detox" supposed to last? I'm not very knowledgable about suboxone being used as a detox agent as opposed to long term opiate replacement therapy. I'm going to do some reading about the current thinking on using suboxone short term to detox. Suboxone is very addictive and you're not going to hear much good about it here. That doesn't necessarily mean it can't work for short term detox.
re taking suboxone for opiate detox, your increased anger may only be a result of detox rather than a drug interaction. The brain rebels when the opiate receptors aren't completely filled, resulting in some odd and often very scary mental symptoms. Remember, opiates work in the brain so when they are either added or taken away there will always be some kind of mental consequences. The good news is that these kinds of symptoms don't last forever.
The standard of care for pregnant addicted women is Suboxone or Subutex taper, even though maintenance Suboxone or Subutex is still considered safer than methadone because of much less risk of the respiratory suppression.
Please get a second opinion before you get yourself and your baby into a whole lot of trouble. Your baby deserves to be in your loving arms, being nursed at your breast right after it is born, not being for days or weeks in the NICU, not able to go home with you.
