Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone equivalent
suboxone
Friends, just a question that I would like to know the answer to. There is the "New" Suboxone that has come out called Zubsolv. Zubsolv come in a 5.7mg tablet and is suppose to be equivalent to Suboxone 8mg. Something about this new drug absorbs better in your system so you need less. My friend is just started taking Zubsolv and he is driving me nuts by saying the Drug Industry is sending out a placebo and no way is Zubsolv equivalent to Suboxone.
I went to a hospital to detox and they put me on subtext after three days, I am home now and on 4mg of suboxone a day. I can't move, I have no energy and am constantly hungry. I have to get back to work and pay my bills. I feel like my brain has stopped working and I'm in a fog. I'm very weak. Please help......
Hello all. I'm here to ask for help. Does anyone know of Roberts suboxone taper plan. I have never been a very heavy user of oxy but stool an addict. Started about 1.5 years ago messing around with 5mg percocets and then of course built a tolerance to roughly 60mg per day. I tried to stop cold turkey but just couldn't do it. I started 1mg Suboxone yesterday and felt it was too much ..felt high but not euphoric and had a headache.
Anyway, I got a new set of issues or one. Suboxone!! I have been on this drug for three years. Dr put me on it when I was prego. I want off of it. Does anyone have any experience with this drug and getting off of it. Every time I try, I fail. I have gotten down to 8mg a day. I hate the taste of it. I hate to put it in my mouth.
I too was a 20 year methadone patient. I have tried numerous times to switch to suboxone. On suboxone I cannot sleep, I have extremem anxiety, and I have no energy. I am not sick but I do not feel normal. I have been told by the manufacturer that this is a common complaint from long term methadone maintenance patients. I suggest you return to methadone. Follow your own bodies advice and ignore the rest. Only you know how your body functions and reacts to medication.
t get you where you need to be. Putting you on about 2 mg of suboxone or subutex would make you more comfortable and be a more equivalent conversion from 40 mg of methadone.
Here the link to the conversion chart....hope it helps.

question: if 1 mg of suboxone is equal to 20-30 mgs of hydrocodone would that be the same for oxycontin would 1 mg of sub be equal to 20-30 mgs oxy then?
I've got 2 ruptured disk in my lower back. I've been taking these pills now for going on a year. I take a couple pills in the morning and the pain in my back is gone. From that point forward I'm taking pills just because and I can't stop. I want to stop altogether but the withdrawals are killing me. Since I get a prescription the pills are always here. I'm working with my doctor to get my back fixed. And once I do that I've got stop. Any suggestions?
On Suboxone or Subutex, you will have your 'tolerance' set at a level equal to about 50 mg of oxycodone per 24 hours. If you were on a dose of oxycodone or other opiates equivalent to significantly more than that, there will be an adjustment period for your tolerance to come down to that level.
Sometimes it can be hard to tell whether a person is in withdrawal vs 'narcotized' (the opposite of withdrawal). The easiest way to tell is to look at the pupils in a dimly-lit room.
When i finally reached a methadone dose that could be effectively covered by suboxone i was admitted into a residential detox unit and transititioned onto an equivalent suboxone dose. This dose was tapered over a very short period(less than 2 weeks) and i can honestly say that the final push using suboxone was much milder than i had anticipated and far less intense than the most uncomfortable periods of my methadone taper.
I was prescribed suboxone (actually a generic called zubsolv) sept 27 for opioid dependence (vicodin and or percocet) i waited the next day after prescribed had not had any opioids and started taking 1 8mg tab twice a day. First day felt great except for some anxiety i thought could be stress induced with everything going on or withdrawals from vics.
OK, first let me say that I'm not in any way debating this. I think it's up to the person and the doctor...none of my business really. But, I do post facts about the action of the drug, why it's different that typical opiates, and how its method of action relates to other drugs. Suboxone does not block other opiates by raising your tolerance. There is only one scenario where Suboxone would raise your tolerance.
Because of the ceiling effect of Suboxone, 4mg is equivalent to about 60-80mg of Hydrocodone. Also, any dose of Sub at and below that 4mg threshold is metabolized as a pure agonist opiate. What does all of this mean? It means that the reason you're feeling great is that you went from 45mg a day hydrocodone to 60-80mg a day. You've almost doubled the amount of opiates you were taking every day. Where did you get the Sub?
I have a lot of experience with fentanyl patches but i must say you are on an incredibly high dose. Usually even in terminal cancer patients 300mcg/hr is the ceiling dose. 400mcg/hr is the equivalent of 960mg of oral morphine!!! (a 50mcg patch is equivalent to 120mg of morphine). That is truly an astronomical dose!!! Tapering from fentanyl patches is difficult as they cant easily but reduced in small increments.
Hi fahadali2008, hope you are feeling better and able to have some sleep? Since when were you taking Lexotinal for sleeplessness and how much useful was it? Had it been prescribed by a doctor? Can you say the reason for stopping the use of this drug completely? Did you have any serious side effects of the drug? It is better you consult your attending physician or consult a sleep specialist before abruptly stopping the drug to be advised on the alternate medications.
Suboxone dosages are no linear. In other words, the Suboxone dosage doesn't go up to a higher dosage as the DOC gets higher. Suboxone completely binds opiate receptors at 4mg or so, so dosages over that amount are given for other reasons. That being said, 4mg of Suboxone is equal to about 70-80mg of hydrocodone. So, the reason you're feeling this way is that you've been given a dose that relates to twice your daily dosage, all in one big dose.
Hey I was wondering if anyone knew if while I was trying to withdrawal from methadone. I started to use my DOC again and I am going to try a withdrawal using small amounts of suboxone for 3-4 days and then nothing. A friend is locking me in his house (he is a nurse) and going to try and help me.
, morphine, OxyContin) using regulated amounts of Suboxone, and I 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.
