suboxone for pain relief

Hi-I had been on dilaudud 2mg. for pain relief for chronic pain issues.I had to go of dilaudud for a few days then began the suboxone as of last Thursday so I am now on 2mg. of the suboxone.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.

I started Suboxone last saturday for pain management NOT for WDs. It is NOT U.S. approved for pain management but my doc loves it and LOTS of his patients are on it for management. His office staff ALL think its the new miracle drug. One of the side effects "that I had" was headaches, but thats just me. It does work for pain but NOT like the other pain meds, its different. And after 1 week I found that I couldnt afford it so its back to Roxycodone as of today.

Ive heard of some people who use injections of buprenex which Id imagine is for quite severe pain, but suboxone isnt really designed for pain management more for getting off of opiates. Wish you all the best, look into as many different methods as possible, there are others out there that can replace opiates.

As far as using for post surgical pain I would not think it would provide enough pain relief for you. When you do decide if you do to take the suboxone again make sure all the opioids are out of your system. of course it is up to you and your doctor and your pain level but the opioids would provide the best pain relief at this point I believe.

In the meantime, however, the pain is just unbearable!! I am an addict and have been on Suboxone for the past seven months. Any suggestions as to how I can get some relief from the pain would really be appreciated! I left a message for my GP to ask her advice. Has anyone gone through this or something similar??? I'm desperate!!

I still have pain, which methadone blocked better but as far as side effects, despite the pain, i like suboxone better so far! WOULD LOVE SUBUTEX THOUGH. Canada ***** for drugs, I wish they prescribed Xyrem here too, lol! You guys get all the goodies!

I've been taking suboxone and have run out. I have a bad toothache and have some vicodine, would that be effective until I get this tooth worked on. I will have my suboxone on Monday again.

Generally you will not feel any pain relief from any narcotic pain medication while suboxone is in your system. It takes about 5-7 days for it to be out of your system (per what they say at 1877 suboxone). If you took a regular pain pill with it in your system, basically nothing would happen. No high, no relief.

I asked him how Suboxone was indicated for my back pain and he responded that I would not need pain meds once on Suboxone. The patient handbook says Suboxone is not indicated for pain treatment. I asked about the addictiveness of Suboxone and he said he would "taper" me off after 18 months or so and there would be no need for pain medications. Like I said, I am afraid of addition and he is scaring me to death.

Hi, Depending on who you ask , some say it has really helped them as far as pain control and that is if you can find a doctor who will prescibe them for pain control. There is a search box in the upper right hand corner for searching this community. Use it and you will see the results of some who have taken it for pain control and how it helped them individually. I can give you some site that have expanded information on it if you would like.

may help your mental staus with the depression and such especially if u r still craving...as of now, suboxone is not approved for use as pain relief in the USA....and yes there are wds associated with suboxone,,have not experienced it but do not think it is a piece of cake by no means and a bit lengthy due to the long half life Perhaps high doses can help pain a bit...but addiction would be emminent...

Neuro doc called in Suboxone for my pain. I have been diagnosed with FM & TMJ. They are thinking I have an autoimmune disease that is being overlooked with a sever sleep disorder, and possibly MS. I have been taking Tramadol and it's just not cutting it! Has anyone had any experience with Suboxone, good or bad? Does it work well on fairly severre pain? Thanks in advance for the advice and answers!

That said, I struggle with this issue with the pain patients. Most of my pain patients insist that Suboxone gives them more relief if they can take that second dose late in the day; I don't argue the issue as much as I used to, but rather I simply let them take it that way. Knowing the long half-life for buprenorphine, I have to think that the relief is 'psychological'-- in essence a placebo response.

has anyone used suboxone for pain relief from fibromyalgia? I am not asking if you use it to detox from pain relievers you have used for pain and then became addicted, but if you were not on anything and was it prescribed strickly for pain relief.

I heard from multiple people that Methadone is better for pain than Suboxone, and so I brought it up to my doctor. My Dr. agreed to switch me to Methadone, but not without a few caveats: 1) I will need to quit Amitriptyline because it interacts with Methadone. 2) He will only give me a maximum of 30 mg Methadone a day. I tried quitting Amitriptyline, but I started tingling and burning all throughout my body so badly that I had to go back on it.

And God forbid you ever need serious pain relief,once you take suboxone you will never get pain relief from hydros or percs or any of the like.

I have been on Suboxone for 3 months. I became addicted to pain pills due to problems with my shoulder. I finally got a bone scan and an MRI 2 weeks ago and was told I have a torn rotator cuff and probably should have surgery. I go to an "addiction psychologist" who has been prescribing the Subs to me. I asked him what will I do if I have to have surgery on my shoulder??????????

I started taking subs after being on lortab for 2 years for endometriosis. I took only as prescribed and never took more than one pill every 6-8 hrs. I had a hysterectomy and planned on stopping all together. But I had no one to help me figure it out. While my obgyn was a great dr, he didn't even mention that I'd need to taper off them. I'll try to sum this up as quickly as possible.

have me on 4mg of suboxone a day for pain relief. Well this is not doing anything for my pain. Was in a atv crash 4 years ago and that is how i got introduced to pain meds. fractured my back,scapula.wrist and broke some ribs and collatr bone. I been on percozet. tramadol vicodin7.5/750,oxycodone 5mg,ms contin and fentanyl patches. My question is my fam. doc dont like the short acting meds. so he is the one that put me on ms contin and later fentanyl patches.

detox, add suboxone, and add an anti-depressant. (I personally have been taking Paxil for 20+ years for depression. Can't function without it, but no major side effects either) We're hoping for the best......

Are you going to need pain relief for along time? Coming off those types of meds are very tough, much tougher than oxys.

Thank you Worried for the detailed information. I had no idea those extra receptor sites never went away!! I guess that's why the experts say that once you are an addict, you always will be. =( I understand the dangers of an addict messing around with dopamine. I just have such a tough time with the RLS. If it was only for four or five days, I could hang in there, but mine tends to last more like 14 or 15 days.

m having a bit of trouble in pain management. Anyway... I was Just wondering if anyone Has taken suboxone for chronic pain? And if so, has it helped you at all? Thanks a bunch!!
