The fear is that the mother to be will take an opioid along with the priorly dosed Suboxone, thus triggering the blocker (naloxone), sending the mother and unborn into severe detox...which brings with it a HIGH risk of miscarriage. As we all know on this board...tex goes for at least $40 per 8mg dose....where Suboxone goes for an average of $20/dose in the street. It is simply the only way we can keep ourselves out of total detox...which is what you need to focus on.
It is actually the Buprenorphine which is the active ingredient in both suboxone and subutex. The naloxone is in suboxone to prevent it from being injected. Injected the naloxone will make someone ill. Since sub is taken sublingually the naloxone takes no effect, it is not absorbed well via that method.
s an opiate blocker. Basically like suboxone with out the opiates. Suboxone is made up of 2 chemicals buprenorphine (opiate) and naloxone (opiate blocker). The reason you get hooked on suboxone and withdraw from it is because it's a narcotic and has opiates. Vivitrol is only naloxone so it's just a opiate blocker. No narcotics, no addiction, and no withdraws. Suppose to be awesome and takes away cravings and help the brain and receptors recover at a faster rate.

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.
t go to a doctor to get more and just grit my teeth. At the 4-5 month mark I ran out of suboxone had felt great up to that point everyday no w/d symptoms or anything and then I ran out. I felt like I was going to die and it wasn't until then I realized that it was just as bad as opiates. I starting reading up and started to taper. I can only suggest what I know from my expeirience but it is all in the eye of the beholder. I only truly saw results from going cold turkey.
i know right now alot of my headache is due to a really bad ear i nfection, but i didnt have the infection the day i started sub and about 2 hours after i took it i got a headache and i get one ever morning when i wake up?
The naloxone serves no purpose other than to be the most incredible marketing tool for the makers of Suboxone." I had to find the article to quote. If you want to read a thorough article about coming off Suboxone I highly recommend this article. https://www.pbod.org/detoxing-suboxone-fear-caused-lack-knowledge/
It has the best information I've read.
Also, coming off suboxone (buprenorphine) is hard. But I found it easier to taper from than methadone.
60 yrs of age or 70, simply due to the phenomenon of tolerance. Subutex and Suboxone are far behind in FDA approval for moderate pain....plus.there's no real effects from the neck up with buprenorphne and NO Tolerance as seen with pure agonists... good Luck..
They tried to send numerous patients < 50 yrs old to pain management and knowing and following buprenorphine for years....
m sure you have the principals down though-- naloxone is completely irrelevant to the action of Suboxone, and is there for show more than anything-- it does nothing to contribute to the actions of the drug, but is used to deter people from injecting Suboxone, since then the naloxone would be active.
Eagle is correct, Cathy-- buprenorphine, Suboxone, and Subutex are all essentially identical.
It took me almost a year to get down to 100 mg and recently in the past 3 weeks to get to 64 mg when I decided 3 weeks ago to switch to suboxine sorry I should have mentioned that. I have been off 210 mg for a long time. Thank you for the advice. I just realized a couple hrs ago how sick I am. I'm so sweaty but cold then hot I have goosebumps that won't go away. I have been constipated forever and now I can't stop going and this was all changes within hrs.
s is usually the max dose a dr. will allow someone to get onto Sub(either one). Possibly, the Naloxone in Suboxone interfered with the methadone still in you causing precip. w/d's.
42 hrs isn't even 2 days, and all dr's I know want you off methadone for 3 days OR when you are in kinda bad methadone w/drawals. That being said, on my 2nd day off methadone, (was on 32mg's) , I took a couple Vicodins because of the w/drawals.
