Suboxone vs hydrocodone
Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone vs hydrocodone
suboxone
Suboxone contains buprenorphine, an opiate that is a partial agonist at the receptor and that has been around for over 30 years. If you read any 'goodman and gilman' (the bible of pharmacology) you will read that 'buprenorphine is less addictive than other opiates because of the partial agonist effects'. But for anyone addicted to opiates, even codeine is very addictive!
I was clean from hydrocodone for 4 days and relapsed. I've been relapsing for the past 5 years. I can't stand that I was ever I introduced to hydrocodone! It was never for pain in the past but for the "high" of it. I want to be myself again! I miss me! I have an appointment today with a suboxone doctor and it's suppose to help me have Zero withdrawals and have No More cravings for hydrocodone. I'm praying that this works!
i have chronic back pain too. got hooked on hydrocodone for 4 years. kicked it 2 years ago.
this is how i looked at it.
there is no miracle pill to make it all better. so the sooner we accept that , the better.
the doctors are a bunch of useless information they have had crammed down their throats.
i researched and climate and humidity can really affect pain. i moved to the desert. phoenix and it has helped my pain tremendously. if they can operate on you, than that is something.

Percocet is the brand name of the generic drug oxycodone and acetaminophen and Vicodin is a brand name of the generic drug Hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Both oxycodone and Hydrocodone is a narcotic drug and are often used in combination with acetaminophen or APAP, a no steroidal anti inflammatory drug which helps in increasing their potency.
Yes, it can be done, but personally I think it's a mistake to go on a much stronger drug, like Suboxone or Methadone, to avoid the withdrawal symptoms of a much weaker drug like Hydrocodone, thinking it's an easy way out.
IMO if you do it should be only be a low dose for a very brief period, long enough to get over the worst part of Hydrocodone withdrawals, and short a time enough to prevent you becoming addicted to Sub.
My ex recently let slip that he just started taking suboxone. By slip I mean he was leaving me a long voicemail rant about the attorney general taking money out of bank account to pay child support and it was the last thing he said. Then he just stopped talking and hung up. I know he was supposedly taking hydrocodone for back pain.
I totally relate to you! Been there.....done that. Get your back fixed and then you can formulate a plan to get off the opiate pain meds. Take it from someone who was addicted to hydrocodone and ignorantly went on subs for 28 days......don't use suboxone to get off hydrocodone. It's MUCH stronger and totally synthetic....and then you'll have to w/draw and get off THAT.
Looking into a local clinic that specializes in Suboxone. Iam in great need of info and help, i need off these things any other ways out there?
Norco* just saying - I got on Suboxone to stop the hydrocodone / Norco withdrawals as soon as I took them again it was immediate addiction then starting all over.
Just be careful with the dose of hydro you take because your tollerance may be lower - even though 8 mg of suboxone is a pretty good dose. If you have any doubts, I would check with your suboxone doctor before taking the hydro, just take it slow. Best of luck with your dental work. Glad you are working on your recovery too, stick with it. Keep posting, when you are ready to quit the suboxone, there are some great people here who can help support you.
if i wasnt on suboxone i would be wanting the hydrocodone REGARDLESS, if i was around my cousin or not, because the last few months i was still taking the hydrocodone was so i wouldnt feel the withdrawals, NOT cause i wanted the eurphoric feeling................ your thoughts please..............
Can I take hydrocodone for pain while withdrawing from methadone? I am starting suboxone after 72 hrs.
basically its a study or story on how people are so uniformed and uneducated about Suboxone. Suboxone If interested Google Huffington Post Dying to be free of Heroin. The story is mostly about heroin but if you think about it Oxy Cottin is simply synthetic herion. Personally if I wouldn't have started on Suboxone through a great addiction specialist I would be dead. If taken right and if you take aftercare seriously Suboxone can be a good drug.
I am tring to find a doctor to help me get off of them.. I have been on suboxone before and it worked well. so i either wanted that or somethng else that will work.
I took hydrocodone for 3 yrs for back pain. Then I was changed to methadone, morphine and fentenyl patches within a short time. Now I've been on suboxone less than 3 weeks. I can not function on it. I do not want to stay on it a yr or more as the doctor said. Can I go back to hydrocodone and tamper off it??
I used suboxone for a 20+/day hydrocodone habit. The only caution that I have is that suboxone is an opiate too - very strong and long acting. Taking it long term can be challenging to quit that to. Get into a program, work with a therapist, and get into aftercare.
Suboxone definitely takes away the pain from withdrawal. When I withdraw cold turkey I feel like hell for3 or 4 days and just yucky for about a week. I don't plan to stay on the suboxone long. It is also expensive!
In fact, taking Suboxone would be like taking 15 or more Vicodin (hydrocodone) tablets per day! You would be very doped up by even a small dose of Suboxone, and your tolerance would climb much higher than it is now-- making it much more difficult to taper off.
At the same time, you shouldn't expose you and the baby to the up and down of opioid dependence. From your current use, I would not anticipate severe withdrawal if you choose to stop.
i'm a 50 yr old Male....i was addicted to Hydrocodone for about 3-1/2 years...It got to the point of taking 10 pills 10/5 hydro/acte a day. (which i found out later was nothing compared to what other people take). it got to the point that i needed 2 before i took a shower in the morning. i was hating myself and i didnt know what to do.I wasnt craving that "High" i was getting from the Hydrocodone, i Just needed it to feel normal....
