suboxone

Avatar f tn Do these side effects eventually go away if you take Soboxin (sp), and then eventually no SOboxin? If a person works out and takes vitamins will this assist in getting this awful drug out of the system?
Avatar m tn but around 2pm i start getting flu-like symptoms and they last till i fall asleep. im not sure if they are side effects from the suboxone(it is listed as common side effect) or if im not taking enough suboxone and having wd.but like i said i feel fine in the morning.
Avatar f tn headache, dizzy, sleepy, nauseous.. but it was not withdrawal feelings, just side effects of the meds.. after that week though those side effects improved a lot. My doctor told me to expect that. I definitely did not feel I was in withdrawal at all from moment I walked out of the doctor's office after that initial visit (until tapering and quitting subs of course). I definitly agree going through w/drawal has its benefits.. a passage of rite im my opinion.
Avatar n tn In other words, taking the percocet can actually cause withdrawal like symptoms if you have used suboxone within the last 4 - 5 days. Because you are on a low dose of suboxone, I hope the side effects aren't too bad. Best of luck!
1311475 tn?1274198780 For the last 9 months or so, maybe a little longer I have had withdrawal symptoms or all of the side effects for the two medications that could possible be listed even when I was not taking the clonazapam, I had side effects. I am now taking 60 mg. of methadone, trying to get off of the methadone to become eligible for other pain treatment. I didn't know where to ask this question.
Avatar m tn I have been clean 11 Months and still seem to be getting withdrawal symptoms? Nothing like the initial symptoms, but bad enough How long can i expect this to last?.
Avatar m tn Buprenorphine alone and the combination of buprenorphine and naloxone prevent withdrawal symptoms when someone stops taking opioid drugs by producing similar effects to these drugs. You put it under your tounge. Junkies die from attempting to inject this drug. Do EXACTLY what your doctor says in reguards to this medication if you choose to take it. My opinion, as for Opioids cold turkey is your quickest recovery. I would never waste my time or increase my misery with suboxone.

325131 tn?1227184781 I see alot of people talk about the side effects of suboxone. Withdrawal from suboxone and expense. I want new people to know there are ways to get clean without using another drug that you will have to withdraw from. I've seen people here with hefty habits get clean without sub. So beware of the easier softer way. Its not always what you think it might be. I don't want to hurt anyones feelings that are on sub. It's just I've been seeing so many of you with problems from it.
Avatar f tn I am also aware of the many research studies that demonstrate less-severe withdrawal from Suboxone compared to withdrawal from agonists in 'blinded' research trials. Finally, a number of treatment centers use Suboxone as a 'tapering agent' to help people get through opiate withdrawal. Again, I talk in greater detail on the blog, but one final comment: the withdrawal is unusual in several aspects from what people usually expect.
351846 tn?1273615544 I was wondering if anybody else on sub. experience side effects? One of my biggest is tiredness and lack of motivation.. Whats everybody elses? I've been on 16mg for 4yrs now. Down from 32mg.
1151493 tn?1263336020 All this depression and self confidence issues ARE related to the side effects. Which scares me to death because I haven't had luck going down to less than the 4mg. Thank you for your response. XXXXxxxx.
Avatar n tn The reason is that the substances which cause the blood vessels to dilate are blocked, retaining blood within the penis. The onlt side effects occur when you are on an opiate and experience withdrawal when taking naltrexane.
Avatar f tn I was recently put on suboxone strips and having bad side effects with them! I have been on suboxone pills before and they helped, no side effects! I read that the films are 30% stronger?could that be a reason? Also, I got scared/tired of the side effects and got my percocet prescription filled and now worried that I might get in trouble? But I have also read that a person can get suboxones filled and their pain meds filled, is this true?
Avatar f tn Did you taper off the vibryd or quit abruptly? You can't just switch from one medication to another even in the same class and avoid withdrawal -- these meds are not easy to stop taking and it must be done carefully. Unless you completely stop taking a medication before starting another it's impossible to tell if your symptoms are a sign you're suffering withdrawal and quit too quickly or are side effects of the new medication.
Avatar f tn HI. I am on day 12 of suboxone withdrawal. It has been hell. How much long will this be going on? Im not sleeping more than an hour or 2 a night. When I jumped off, I was down to 2mg a day. I haven't been able to function at all. No work, barely able to get out of bed. It isn't getting better. I have pretty much accepted that I have condemned myself to a life of this agony. Please help.

Avatar n tn The person on subnoxone 4 years, now detoxing with no known side effects maybe experiencing the drugs half life properties, I think, which could mean there is still some active medicine still floating around until its all out of your system, good luck
Avatar f tn my best friend quit smoking but first tried chantix an had some really bad side effects felt strange awful nightmares an had seazure from chantix doc took her off asap. Also seen on tv a lawyer saying if you had bad side effects from taking chantix or even death pls call today we have law suit in effect.
Avatar n tn true what cattalina says...the naloxone in suboxone has some side effects with number one being headaches....try subutex..make a plan...what was ur DOC and how much daily did u take? too much of these drugs/sub or subutes carry lots of side effects..and doctors seem to oer prescribe sub..too much causes drowsiness, fogginess etc..
Avatar f tn Fact:the horrid side effects (swollen feet, legs, face and tongue (hard to eat,breathe and swallow) forced me to ask my Dr to change to Methadone to continue my withdrawal. I have NEVER experienced such a difficult,painful and totally misinformed withdrawal in 30 odd years as with Suboxone. NEVER AGAIN!
1227909 tn?1267853479 suboxone and methadone are meant for short term use withdrawal side effects are gone within a month thats all the longer your body needs it zoe - yes treatment is possible at stage 4 - i heard now even with decompensated cirrhosis treatment is possible
Avatar n tn Naloxone blocks the effects of opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin. If Suboxone is injected, naloxone will block the effects of buprenorphine and lead to withdrawal symptoms in a person with an opioid addiction. When administered under the tongue as directed, naloxone will not affect the actions of buprenorphine.
Avatar n tn the naloxone in suboxone is what often causes the headaches....subutex does not have naloxone in it...
306455 tn?1288862071 So I would be willing to accept some risk of side effects with Suboxone, given the risk of NOT treating the disease of addiction. Eventually something better will come along, but for now, outside of constipation, buprenorphine is a pretty good maintenance agent for some people.
