suboxone

Avatar n tn Ok well here is my story.. have an addiction to percocet but have been doing well..Started taking suboxone a year ago..Came off 1/4 of a 2mg and was feeling pretty bad with withdrawls ..to my surprise!! I was told the small dosage I was on, I would feel very lil wd's.. yeah right! anyway i read somewhere that taking percocet will help with the wd's..i know..STUPID!! So I took percocet 4 a week, and 2 pills 4 x a day.. of 10/325.. Now tis is 48 hours and I am in terrible wd's!!
Avatar n tn I have dental surgery coming up and was told by the DR I would be on percocet after the fact. I do not see a DR for the suboxone, lets just say I regulated myself on the dose. I have researched every where and cannot find a clear cut answer as to how long it will take to feel the effects of the percocet.... I just do not want to be in pain. Some people (Rph) have said that its up to 17days?? and others i have read say 36-48hrs. Please help?
Avatar f tn Tom is correct - suboxone is to detox off the percocet. If he takes the suboxone while he is still taking percocet, it could put him into withdrawal. Suboxone is also designed to take once daily, not multiple times per day. 8 mg should be fine for the first week to detox, then as Tom said, taper down, cut the pill in quarters and have your husband take 3/4 for a few days, then go do half for about a week, then go to 1/4, and then 1/8 if you can cut it that small.
Avatar f tn 5 clonopin twice a day and buspar 20 mg twice a day for anxiety and have read some bad things with combining these two with suboxone, my doctor said it was fine and I should not be reading about it but I'm still pretty nervous about combining the three.
Avatar n tn I Percocet was working fine my doctor thought suboxone would be better because it’s a 24 hour drug.
Avatar f tn DO NOT MIX suboxone with Percocet! If you take the sub first the percs won't have any effect. But if you take the percs then sub you will go into withdrawal immediately. I started on the pills and moved to the film with no problem. Suboxone is buprenorphine and nalaxone, whether in pill or strip form. So if you've been taking the pill form of sub the strip is no different. If you are allergic to nalaxone get with your doctor and maybe subutex is a better option for you.
Avatar m tn d wake up sick the next day and I know with suboxone only, the half life would make it so I had plenty of time to get more so that I wouldn't get sick. I've went bouts of 50 plus hours off of them before and would start feeling withdrawals. I was unable to have enough will power to taper off suboxone correctly. I decided I'd use 30mg percocet to aid my suboxone withdrawal.
Avatar m tn Yes, you took that Sub too soon after the Percocet. Generally, you must be in moderate wd's before you take suboxone. I'm not sure why you did this and I don't recommend taking anymore sub. You'll just have to struggle through while the sub wears off and it may be several more hours from now. It has a longer half life than most opiates other than methadone. Also, if you decide to take some more Percocet, you may not feel any effect because the sub will block it.
Avatar f tn Hi, I was on a high dose of methadone and I am using suboxone to deal with the prolonged withdrawals. I don't know if it would be smart to get on to suboxone to help with the 3 or 6 percocet you are currently taking. There Will be unconfortability, but I think withdrawal from suboxone to be worse than the percs. You may want to consult your Dr as he is the one prescribing the Percs.
Avatar m tn Ok, so I am ready to stop the percocet but need some advise. I have been taking 2-4 percocets per day for about a year. Like most people I try and stop and can only last a couple days. My question is besides cold turkey is there a method out there that works? Is there other meds available to stop the cravings? what damage have I may already done to my brain/ organs Thanks in advance for your responses.
1536087 tn?1292526415 My problem now is i fear taking suboxone because i feel it is more toxic to the baby then the percocet. Also i am scared to tell the doctors because i dont know what they might do.
893913 tn?1245510893 Hi there!!! Ok....first of all. I am so proud of you. I am on the same thing!!! I was taking 7 pills.....4 to 5 times a DAY. Thst's 28 to 35 pills a day. How many are you taking in a day???? I have tried sooooooo many times to get OFF this ****. I couldn't.....because I couldn't take how I was feeling. So you are sooooo much more stronger then I am. Nobody knew I was on these. Not even my husband and 4 kids. I drained our bank accounts. We are in soooo much debt.
Avatar n tn I suggest you check out suboxone .com or discuss it with a doctor Sarah is right we don't have any here and sub really need to be monitored by a doctor.
1085335 tn?1256444845 How much and how long have you been abusing percocet? Methadone is like suboxone in terms of help with witthdrawl but is also addicting and used for pain so that would be something to think about also. Only a doctor can tell you wich route would be best. I wouldn contact a suboxone doctor, the methadone clinic, your primary and think long and hard before makin any decison to go on any other med. Addiction is a disease and its best to find seek treatment from those who are qualified to treat it.
Avatar n tn In the past when I went off Oxys it was terrible, but after the cold turkey, I found the pain was at the same level as with them. I want to stop the Percocet now and my Dr. wants me to take Suboxone. Do you think I need it and if so what is the shortest amount of time that I will need to take it? Is the withdrawal from Suboxone the same as for Percocet?
Avatar n tn what should u do if u were taking 4 percocet 10s for 2 months then didnt wait more than 4 hours after eating percocet before the first 2mg of suboxone . i kind of feel like im going through withdraw while on suboxone. should i stop the suboxin and go back on the 10s and just try and ween off the tens. i dont really have a clue ive never tried suboxone before one of my friends gave it to me but neglected to tell me to wait 24hrs and to wait until withdraw already sets in before taking it.
Avatar m tn t want to live like this, so i went to the doctor and got suboxone to detox. After takin the suboxone for 4 days I safely with very little pain detoxed. I've been clean ever since, until tonight. You see my mom broke her ankle and was prescribed percocet of course. The yellow 10/325 my favorite. I couldn't resist and took two.
Avatar f tn At this point i get i dont have to take every 4 hrs, especially after experiencing the suboxone. Can i stop suboxone and go to percocet....
Avatar m tn I guess my question is this.. If I switch between suboxone and percocet, will I become addicted to opiates anyway, because regardless of the two they are still both opiates. Also, how long does it take to get addicted to suboxone itself? I will stop everything now but I am curiouse. And how do I get the mood lift I get from these drugs naturally? I love how productive I am on them and well it stimulates my mind when I write music. THanks for the help.
Avatar n tn I went to rehab and got on suboxone. Suboxone definitely helps but I almost feel like I traded one drug for another drug!! Call around and c about rehab or a program if u think u cant stop cold turkey!
Avatar m tn He will then prescribe me my Suboxone and my Lortab and Percocet for some many worth so I can use them to start weining myself off of then a little at a time, while also taking the Suboxone once daily...That will kinda stop the withdrawal from the time between doses of the pain pills, which will alllow me to take less of them...
Avatar n tn I am on suboxone and its pretty much the same stuff. You need to be in withdrawals 18-24 hours. Or what I mean is your last pain pills should be 18-24 hours prior. This is a wonderful drug, but you should go to the suboxone web site and read up on it. Also you can go to the Health Pages here on this forum and read about it. It does help some for pain. Do not take pain pills while on this drug. Keep reading and asking questions. You will be fine.
