Avatar f tn "So I know my situation is not nearly as serious as others...." We don't rate situations by whose been using the longest or who uses the most. There's no classifications here...everybody has a serious problem that were all trying to deal with. Don't feel like that....your problem is just as serious as the next persons. Congrats on your first 24+hours completely clean!! That's huge! Just to make that step and commitment in the right direction...its great! Now...
778741 tn?1237641888 Ive been holding back since I joined this forum but I think if you want to get clean why sub one for the other it just prolongs the enebadle YOU NEED TO QUIT now I know how drugs has effect people different ways and some need to come doww before they quit but 30-60-120 Days ??
Avatar m tn I've heard some good things about Subs. Its how 2 of my gfriends stopped taking oxi's. I heard they def take craving away but make sure to start tapering very very slowly & as soon as possible. Congrats on this huge leap forward you've made toward sobriety! Cool...keep it up!
Avatar m tn I can only speak for suboxone users but I think methadone users have the same mentality. We use the drugs to help us get off of our drug of choice. Suboxone is an opiate blocker. Knowing I cannot get high off of opiates comforts me and takes a lot of the mental out of staying clean. I am unsure of the withdrawals from suboxone, but I am sure they are a lot less intense than opiates. Hope I helped.
Avatar n tn I also, had very bad anxiety, and fits of rage at times,after detoxing from methadone and the suboxone. I guess thats why suboxone did not work for me. Which I was cut off suboxone after a week of taking it, only because I couldn't make it to 1 meeting 4 days in a row 40 miles from my home. I could not afford the gas and do not drive the freeway.I hope this does not scare you , and I hope this works for you.
Avatar f tn No problem, I recently stop doing the same stuff. It's now 40 plus days with out anything so i really understand were your coming from. I did 2 week only, for the exact same reason your doing 3. I didn't want to exchange one poison for another. Once your done with the 3 week tapering process of suboxone, its all mental at that point and you just got to make the last step and take nothing. first few days are a bit weird but nothing like the other stuff w d.
Avatar m tn After several years of tramadol addiction (up to as many as 800-1000 mgs per day), I have consulted an addiction specialist and will begin treatment with suboxone next week. Anyone out there with some experience who can give me an idea of what to expect?
1065662 tn?1254965167 I been on Suboxone for over a year. I been an addict for over 30 years. I have not relasped since I been on Suboxone. I wish you well in your recovery.
Avatar m tn I feel he ignored that, and so for the first week when I got my prescription from this NEW doctor I had to take a few extra for the pain. I called them the other day and they cut back my prescription to getting it filled once a week. I am NOT new to these forms of medication, and I would like to find a doctor who is familiar with my needs.
Avatar m tn also since the acute withdrawal symptoms last for a week would i be able to take methadone or suboxone for a week to get over the withdrawals, then stop the methadone/suboxone?? i was reallly curious about this as i heard that it helps with withdrawal.
1227909 tn?1267853479 I took suboxone for all 72 weeks of treatment. Finally got to SVR and have been cured for three years now. I didn't take the tele - just did regular old SOC. Now I'm on subutex trying to wean off all the Subs after about 7 years.........not so easy to do as it appears and I'm really in no rush to go through all the pain of that! I'm sure you can relate! But yes it is possible to succeed taking the meds together.
Avatar f tn I stopped the suboxone one week prior to having a breast augmentation which contained alot of scar tissue and needed the implants replaced. I am currently on opioids for the pain connected to the surgery and I am still experiencing alot of pain, assuming It is coupled with my ms pain. My question is will the suboxone after day six post surgery give me enough pain control instead of the opioids.
Avatar n tn Has anyone else here gone on the suboxone for chronic pain relief.This is what my doc is using it for on me-I see most of you are on it for detox....I was wanting of fthe dilaudud as I was afraid of becoming addicted.(And was constipated all the time so he put me on naltrexone for the chronic constipation I was on.Ended up in hospital 4-6x for this.,the naltrexone worked great to help me go also using the miralax as added supplement.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, its been one week!!! I feel great!!! I just want people out there to know that a slow taper from subs can be done and you should have little to no withdrawal. I did it, and have not had a symptom yet! I just wish for the last 6 years, I knew that I would be ok getting off of subs, because everyday for the last 6 years, it was my biggest fear, and had I known, I could've lived a lot happier.
426217 tn?1249005416 I have been on suboxone now for about 3 weeks. It truely has been a life saver with the withdrawal symptoms, but the tiredness is insane. I can barely keep my eyes open!!! I still have a few cravings, but I crave energy! The only reason I was using Percocet like I was, was because of the energy boost I got from it. I am also doing research about switching to Methadone, but I am getting mixed reviews. Has anyone else gotten this damn tired?
Avatar m tn I began to read about withdraw after I started suboxone (I think I started too soon and got very sick for two days started at 24 mg. I started seeing the horry stories about sub and knew I had to get off!I read about the 21 day window to help with the PAWS and other lasting effects of the sub. So I immediately started weaning myself and within a week I went from 24mgs. A day to 2 mgs a day. Then I started weaning more with my doctor’s help and I got down to .
230262 tn?1316645934 s an extremely potent analgesic and is much stronger milligram for milligram than morphine. Also, ANY doctor can prescribe Suboxone OR Subutex for pain, not just those that have special opiate dependence DEA numbers. For many people, Buprenorphine provide substantial pain relief. I's suggest going that route WAY before attempting methadone for the simple reason that buprenorphine overdose deaths are extremely rare (most were using benzos as well), and methadone deaths are common at best.
760131 tn?1238217597 i successfully stayed clean for one year while on suboxone. now after a little over a year clean the doctor diagnosed me with add. ive been dealing with depression since i was a child. way before drugs ever entered the picture and still are. the suboxone did wonders at first but then after a while i just started feeling more and more down. so when i got the adderall i was perscribed 10mg. twice a day to start and said she would see me back in a month.
426217 tn?1249005416 I started my 4th week of Suboxone and I also started a tapering off schedule! THANK YOU AMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I noticed 2 new things though..... 1. i keep having "body spasms" when falling asleep mainly, but I sometimes get them while I am sleeping and it wakes me up. Almost seizure like. Any suggestions? 2. Also, I think Suboxone messes with hormones (not sure) but my sex drive is like non-existent!!!! I am usually like a bunny...
323051 tn?1206924683 I have been abusing (snorting) pain killers since I was 18, Im 24 now. I started out with hydro and I just worked my way up to the oxy's which is a whole new ball game. Wish I had never seen the first one. I have been doing the Oc's for about a year, 2 or 3 80's a day. . .I have never tried the suboxone. Just have some that a friend gave me bc I am soooo sick. I did a half of an 80 yesterday morning and it wasnt 6 hrs later that I was starting to feel s hity.
460591 tn?1207150799 She comforted me. I cried for a while. We then went out and I drank with my buddies. I got a suboxone as well. That was good news. 4 weeks 6 days as of today, ladies and gents.
1192716 tn?1264783965 See a doctor and get some advice as to whether you should even be coming off the sub as it seems to me that if you are even considering using heroin again, that this may not be a good time for you to come off the suboxone. You need to get into some recovery care, therapy, meetings, etc. to get yourself in a better frame of mind before even considering tapering your sub. You will be in my prayers and best of luck to you.
Avatar f tn the plan seems like a good one to me and i know it will be a long process. i have read good and bad about suboxone and i was just wondering if everyone that is prescribed suboxone has to follow a similar plan? by the way...i would like to thank all of you for posting your stories. since i'm not an addict, it has really helped me to understand what he has been going through.
