Avatar m tn Most docs want you to wait at least 48 hours after the last methadone dose before taking suboxone, otherwise there is a good chance of going into precipitated withdrawal because suboxone has such a high affinity for the Mu receptor and if there is another opiate on the receptor, suboxone can kick it off.
Avatar f tn Suboxone will utterly **** you up to begin with. But, the more you take it, the less you feel unless you up your dosage. But, it is addictive so don't let anyone tel any of you different. As for being on Suboxone & trying to get high on other drugs as well, you can not get high on any type of pain medication while on it but as for speed, nerve pills, basically anything else but pain medication, you can still get high.
Avatar f tn it would be pointless to use heroine on suboxone because the suboxone blocks the high.. many people Overdose this way as they keep taking more and more trying to achieve the high that the sub is blocking.. However crack is a different animal all together and I imagine suboxone has zero effect on crack. If she is an addict and you suspect she is using, then she probably is.
Avatar f tn However many individuals who start using it to treat their addiction, become addicted to the Suboxone itself. Suboxone has a high rate of illicit abuse. Subutex, the product containing buprenorphine alone with no naloxone, creates a greater risk of misuse, abuse and diversion and many physicians are uncomfortable prescribing it. I hope this was helpful.
Avatar n tn With the metahdone you can still get high from other pills and suboxone you cant get high from pain pills when you take. I think its a good idea. I was on subs for two years wish I would have been on less but it was helpful to get my life in order. But at the same time it is addictive too so thats why I say try to be on it as short as possible. Other positives and negatives. Theres a little booklet that tells you all about suboxone. I am clean 20 days from subs.
Avatar m tn while you take suboxone u basically wouldnt feel the effects of opiates in short you dont get high. suboxone doesnt get you high but at a high dose you can experience methodone effects being for me not high just about to crash nodding...like I havent slept for 3 days. this is the best why I can explain suboxone. I think it can be a life savor. infact I think I need a little higher dose today cause of my cravings.
Avatar f tn does suboxone cause mood swings and severe agitation? also...can you get high from taking more than perscribed??? i've read so many contradicting stories.
Avatar f tn Once a patient is stabilized with Suboxone and no longer getting high, he/she has to be convinced that recovery is possible. A detailed program is then created at the P.B.O.D. office, focused on abstinence and better coping techniques. P.B.O.D. prepares patients for the restlessness, irritability and discontent they will experience when they are off all narcotics, including Suboxone.
464957 tn?1207007336 Once I got addicted to oxycodone and then found a doctor who put me on Suboxone for detox, I have never gotten high from Suboxone since using it for it's intended purpose of opioid detox.
Avatar m tn m thinking of 40-60mgs of methadone a day which would be 30 bucks at my Pharmacy opposed to 8-16 dollars a day for suboxone film. These Suboxone are crazy expensive! Mixed with a low dose of Diazapam, it does help my neck a lot better. So, is my Dr just not wanting to get involved, or can only Pain Clinics and Methadone Clinics prescribe Methadone in the state of Florida these days? Thank you. PS- I tried Gabapentin from my VA Clinic and it is useless.
193953 tn?1272075026 both are made from buprenorphine, both are considered an opiate so both are addictive,but no high is associated with suboxone can be with subutex if abused, both are used to treat addiction and pain management...and it works!!!
Avatar f tn Yeah, for some people there are some unfortunate side-effects associated w/Suboxone. Would it be possible to re-evaluate his dose? I'd say that depending on his behavior - (whether he is still seeking drugs - whether he leaves dirty urines - whether he still hangs out w/ drug buddies) - he should start a taper within the next six months if his ultimate goal is to be clean and he's having these symptoms. Talk to his Sub. Dr. w/ him.
621322 tn?1222138491 i have been reading all the posts and sounds like so many are taking sub in high doses. I was taking 3-5 30mg oxycodones a day and my dr. told me to start with 1/2 of a 2mg sub, and increase it to another half every two hours as needed. Today was my first day of sub therapy and it went pretty well. i only took 2mg, 1/2 in afternoon, and 1/2 in eve when i felt mild wds.. I don't feel 100 percent normal, but nothing that i can't handle.
Avatar f tn Both Suboxone and Tramadol are active at the mu receptor on the brain. Since Suboxone has a very high affinity for this receptor, it would already have the receptor full and I doubt that Tramadol would kick it out. The chances of going into withdrawal are very high. My advice would be not to mix the two, but check with your doctor before you make a decision.
Avatar f tn I have been on subs over 2 years. My ggt levels in the liver are high. I do not have any other illnesses right now. I don't drink so I think it is clearly the suboxone. I have tapered down my dose but can not get off of them. I finally started to switch to muscle relaxers while detoxifying to help cravings. I hope my liver count corrects itself in a couple weeks after stopping. Good luck everyone.
Avatar f tn For me - no more or less than the oxycontin/oxycondone. You do not get the same 'high' off of suboxone as you do on the oxy.. when I was on it, I didn't feel high at all.. but after spending so much time on it, and now being off it, it was not "high" but it was also not 100% straight either.. one thing for sure sub did to me was make me nod at various points throughout the day - actually more so at the lower dose than at the larger dose..
Avatar f tn I have not heard of suboxone causing tingling in fingers. But the dose you are taking - 3 times per day seem to be quite high. Suboxone is very strong and when most people are stabilized on suboxone, the dose is much lower and only once per 24 hours. So - this is probably you will want to talk to you doctor about. The other meds you are on are for depression and allergies and I don't know much about them.
Avatar m tn I just found out that my boyfriend is taking Suboxone. I knew he had a problem w pain killers in the past, and noticed his sneaky trips to the bathroom. Come to find out he is sniffing suboxone. He says he has been on it for 3 years and that it helps him stay clean. I have NO IDEA about pills and what the effects they have on you when you are addicted to them or what is even appealing about it. All I know is that I love him and I want to be here for him.
Avatar m tn Are you on a high dose of suboxone or too little? Have you talked to your doctor? Hope it gets better for you.
Avatar f tn Hi, I was just curious about suboxone, does Suboxone help you lose weight or can you gain weight from it?
610505 tn?1329603723 I have a question about Suboxone. What would happen if someone would take an opiate (percocet, vicodin, oxycotin...etc.) while being on Suboxone? Does anyone know?
Avatar f tn In my experience the dose of Suboxone needed isn't related closely to the dose of agonist being abused-- Suboxone hits the 'maximal effect' at a dose of about 2 mg-- and higher doses don't result in any greater opiate effect. The problem is that a person on that much agonist will have withdrawal when starting any dose of Suboxone-- she needs to get her tolerance down a bit before taking Suboxone.
Avatar f tn lots of people have a wrong idea about treatment meds i ahve been on both of them ive also tried my own methods,- clonidine, tramadol, benzos-etc, suboxone and methadone both will get you midly high and they are both equally as addictive. so try suboxone first becuase even though its equally addicting it may be easier to get off of andtaht s by only a ltitle bit. going to counseling and group meetings are crucial in staying clean as well.
