suboxone

Avatar m tn i have them and just dont kno when to start my first dose. my doc said when the wd's are at there worst. i read if i take them to close to a dose of lortab i may just go into withdrawl. is that true? how long is the wait if i took a 5 mg one earlier in the day? i just want to start the help process but dont want it to get worse tonight and wait till tomorrow morning to start the sub.
Avatar m tn You need to be in moderate withdrawal to start suboxone...once you take the suboxone, it will start working very quickly, and those moderate withdrawals should go away completely. You do not have to be in full blown withdrawals, but you should be feeling uncomfortable. If you are not sure how to gauge your withdrawals, there is the COWS scale...Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale.
Avatar f tn The physical withdrawal eventually goes away and then we start craving the feelings that the pills gave us, etc. If there is no recovery care program in place, what is to stop us from getting more pills, thinking we can take just one? Your mind will play tricks on you...
Avatar f tn I do not have a reference from a psychiatrist but know enough people who have had the same issue I do and have successfully kicked their habit with suboxone or subutex. Does anyone know a doctor that will see me without a referral and accepts caresource?
Avatar m tn I did a lot of research when a friend was going to go on suboxone. Ideally, the doctor should start the induction of suboxone with you in his office. I think you will have to wait for a while before you can take the sub again. You are supposed to be in moderate withdrawal before starting. Precipitated withdrawals are pretty scary sounding. Do you think you went into precipitated withdrawals when you took it? Did the doctor talk to you about the COWS scale?
1323486 tn?1274754138 The suboxone was replacing the oxi. That is what it does. Let me know if you start getting withdraws, remember suboxone had a long half life and is probably going to where off soon. When was the last day you had the suboxone? I hope you are lucky not to have them, but I don't see how you wouldn't.
Avatar f tn What is it exactly? Does it substitue oxycodone by making you free of withdrawal symptoms? Or does it give you some type of high? Does it have side effects that any of you have experienced? I read the site for the med , but it seems too good to be true. I appreciate any feedback you can share-positive or negative . I want to know if it is worth going that route. I really want to get my life back together...thank you guys for all of your help.
Avatar n tn Great info from Debbie. Yes, due to the long half life, it isn't at all unusual to not feel w/d symptoms with Sub for a few days. Are you taking ANYTHING else? If not....you should be feeling it anytime now, and I hate to say, at the daily dose you were taking, it's likely going to be VERY rough. I would STRONGLY recommend you doing this properly...and taper slowly, under the care of a good sub doc.
Avatar m tn Sub does nothing to affect the mental desire to use that can last for months after tramadol - - reference Emily Post and her blog on Tramadol - just throw it in the med help search engine........ Trams are more of a souped up antidepressant than a real pain pill - but they do have Mu affinity - - Also look in Health Pages for sub withdraws - - most say to not use more than 21 days to avoid totally unpleasant withdraws........
Avatar f tn if he eats good meals and drinks, he can then start after its been at least 24 hrs since last taking any opiates and is in moderate withdrawals then he could start on suboxone treatment, it works wonders.
678785 tn?1228884265 YOU HAVE TO BE IN MILD TO MODERATE WITHDRAWAL BEFORE TAKING SUBOXONE. My doc said 18hrs but 15-16 was good enough for me. You know when your in withdrawal. I dont know what the LEAST time you can wait, but when you go that period of time, and are in withdrawal, the sub will take ALL the withdrawals away in 30 minutes. At least it did for me. 30 oxys a day for a year and a half and I take a Half of an 8mg sub under my tongue and it was gone in 30 minutes. ALL WD's were just gone.
Avatar f tn I try weaning with Ultram (I know, everyone on here hates Ultram (tramadol) but at least it does stop withdrawal symptoms) but when you stop Ultram, you still have the withdrawal. Does Suboxone do the same thing when you get off it? I noticed you said you are still on it after 5 months. What kind of pills were you addicted to and does it always take months to take it? I guess what I'm saying is I want to wean or ease the withdrawal with it to get off the Percocet and Ultram.
Avatar n tn However it may be helpful in helping you quit methadone. Ive heard withdrawal from methadone and suboxone can be very similar so I caution against long term sub use.. it seems the least amount of sub for the shortest amount of time is the best way to go. I have heard from people who used it for about 10-15 days and it helped tremendously. Do your research on it though - thats the best advice I can give you. Knowledge is power.
Avatar f tn Do taking suboxone stop wd and when you come of the sub does that mean your have to start all over again with all the w/d you gtew there wd fromherion please hwlpl
Avatar f tn I will talk about buprenorphine, the active medication in Suboxone, just to simplify things a bit-- although Suboxone will have the same effects. First, when talking about the dose, it is important that the method one takes it is identified-- as that is what determines how much active drug ends up in the bloodstream.
Avatar n tn do you know how long this withdrawal pain will last?i thought it might be easier to do it with suboxone,cause im just stuck.
717440 tn?1292743742 Does suboxone work - yes for most people it does WHILE YOUR ON IT. When taking suboxone I did not crave or worry too much about relapse. I had some side effects (headaches every day, dizziness and nausea for the first two weeks) and yes it took any and all withdrawal pain away instantly. Eventually though I became desperately addicted to suboxone, loved suboxone, and needed it the same way I needed percocet/oxy/vicodin (whatever) until I began hating it (just like my drug(s) of choice).
Avatar f tn Hey, have been dependant on methadone/ suboxone /subutex /methadone for 13 years. I returned to methadone as was best option during pregnancy.(fortunately baby had no withdrawal symptoms). Haven't used heroin for about 5 years but so scared of withdrawal, thought i would be on one of the above for life. Baby now 19mths & have been withdrawing slowly so can still fulfill parental (single). I am currently on 4mg and have conflicting info regarding what to do next.
Avatar n tn First I would strongly urge you NOT to take the Ultram to deal with suboxone withdrawal or any withdrawal for that matter. Ultram has the same or worse wd as any other painkiller plus there are other more scary risks associated with using it and withdrawal from it. As far as the sub goes - how long have you taken it? How many mgs are you on? How fast of a taper? Some people do not suffer wd when tapering down on subs. Most of us have had severe wd when jumping off completely.
Avatar n tn I was on day 3 of opiate withdrawal when a friend gave me a Suboxone.....all he said was it was designed to help with withdrawal. I didn't know anything about it, and took half. Not long after, my other friend told more info on it.....which I wish I would've heard sooner. Question.....when the suboxone wears off, will I be back to day 1 of withdrawals???? That is a possibility that I heard, and I hope that it is wrong.
Avatar f tn s different when it comes to suboxone. may i ask if your getting these from a doctor? what dosage are you taking? as far as tapering goes, you need to start tapering now as the percocets are outta your system by now. are you getting any kind of aftercare?
Avatar n tn If he got clean, there are other ways to stay clean. He will need to withdrawal from the Suboxone when he finishes the program and then where will he be? I hope you talk with us, or he talks with us, before making the decision.
Avatar f tn based on what i heard in your post is that .. your switching to suboxone and the doc wants you to start the suboxone having gone a full day into withdrawl..if that is the situation it makes sense reasoning being when you take suboxone ( not subutex) it conrains Nalaxone and Nalaxone will send you into full withdrawl. So this is why u must be already in w/d to take it.. i hope that helps..
Avatar m tn Yeah, they probably wont start u on the suboxone right away anyway, at least they didnt me. I told my dr upfront what drugs i was taking, she urine tested me, then we came up with a taper plan to get the opiates low enough to go at least 48 hrs with nothing in my system. You will only hurt yourself if your not upfront with the drugs your on. These drs know were drug addicts coming to them....
