Avatar n tn I would make sure with the doctor or pharmacist before mixing any opiate with subutex or suboxone. Precipitated withdrawals is not anywhere anyone would want to go! Why are you taking these, and who is prescribing for you? I just want to make sure you're posting in the right forum.
Avatar n tn mixing methadone with klonopin is very dangerous, It makes the effects of the opiate in methadone much much stronger and causes enhaced CNS depression and can cause respiratory arrest causing death.

3714444 tn?1347945540 Again, I give a friendly warning about mixing your drugs, especially methadone. You are playing with fire. If you ran out of subs, I would suggest some additional aftercare to help you stay on track and avoid this kind of mistake. Good luck and be careful.
Avatar m tn and IF you are switching from methadone to suboxone...14 days might not cut it, as methadone withdrawals CAN last for up to 6 weeks.. i have been on suboxone since may and there are now some studies out there that show long term maintenance with suboxone has a 78% success rate... so as i said, i was a little confused by your post if you going cold turkey all the way? or with suboxone? sorry for being confused... let me know, send me a PM if you would like...
575762 tn?1223092762 That is, if you arent snorting the oxy - thats a different parameter to deal with....but methadone is probably the worst w/d that you can come across.....
Avatar n tn s designed to stop any other narcotic from attaching to the brain. Buprenorphine is a narcotic. Suboxone is buprenorphene/Naloxon together. With a prescription of suboxone, now anyway, comes with a prescription for Narcan. This is ONLY used when someone has OD'd. It knocks all narcotics off of the brain and saves people's lives if used in time. Please, get the facts before passing on any kind of medication information so it its safe for other's.
621290 tn?1226720261 there are reports on the web about people mixing Xanax with Suboxone (buprenorphine) and dying. the reports seem to gloss over that these people were SHOOTING these substances. so in the case that you are shooting them. don't. Adderall can be psychologically habit-forming, but i don't even like it enough to abuse it. feels like i drank 20 cups of coffee. yuck. and good luck getting off the Subs. it is not nearly as bad as a full-blown oxy w/d, but it lasts a loooooong time.
942290 tn?1252618549 methadone is better than sub when it comes to it being used as an analgesic. and if your an opioid addict it definitely does the trick. I liked it and it sure made me feel great !! the problem is its being used as an analgesic(pain killer) nowadays, which is what the nazis developed it for originally,during WWII. in one state,of the 1095 drug over doses, that year........795 or so were from methadone !!!
Avatar f tn to get on suboxone can you drop dirty just for suboxone in the morning
Avatar m tn The last app when my doctor mentioned methadone I thought he was going to perscribe it to me! No he would refer me to a methadone clinic! That is not happening! There is no way that i'm going EVERY morning to get my fix! All set with taking liquid meth! I thought it was take home! So all is well and Thanks for everything all of you are great! I'm so glad I found this site! DrewBoy7!

Avatar f tn i understand i went from pain pills, to herion to methadone to pain pills to suboxone to pain pills to herion to methadone to suboxone to pain pills to methadone to sub....on and on for 10 wasted years, my last desperate attempt at taking pills to cure my addiction was revia, even that stuff made me sick hope my experiecne helps...
Avatar f tn The only thing I can say is that I THINK methadone and suboxone are kinda the same thing and I have taken the suboxone. I took a low dose of suboxone the first day and was fine, acctually, better than fine! But the next day I took it again and it made me SICK SICK SICK!!!!!! after experimenting with it for a few days i figured out I was taking too high of a dose, I lowered my dose and was fine!! Maybe the same will help for you!
Avatar n tn She is telling me that she is trying to kick this addiction, and going to the methadone clinic daily? Could she be mixing oxy and methadone together ? what signs should i look for? Do hospital rehab programs work for this addiction ? any info is appreciated..
Avatar m tn I will tell you that mixing methadone with other drugs you are abusing,especially benzos [the xanax] can be a fatal mixture and THAT could kill him.It's really not possible for us to tell you what his dose should be.If we knew what type of drugs and how much he was taking PRIOR to the methadone we may be able to give you an educated guess.The fact is though the dosage amount of the methadone is not really the issue here.
Avatar f tn I am just confused because I have been doing a lot of online reading and it seems that people are saying that suboxone and methadone are HARDER to get off of (even with tapering) than oxycodone itself. So WHY are there these treatments? Why aren't doctors just giving us help with weaning off oxycodone?
Avatar f tn s for about 3 years now and i have been to detox, done it cold turkey, taken suboxone and methadone. My suggestion is suboxone. My withdrawls were too bad that every time i would try and stop i would be so sick i would just break down and get high. But once i started taking suboxone my world changed. It makes you feel normal. And thats all i wanted when i was sick. It binds to the opiate receptors in your brain so if you try to get high it blocks the opiate and is a waste.
Avatar m tn what I dont understand is how he is getting by at the clinic with the street benzos they do random u/as and benzos and methadone is a deadly combination so is mixing it with the barbiturate this guy is riding on luck here and is living really dangerously you seam to still care about him if your here seaking help for you alnon meeting are the place you need to be if your planing on any sort of relationship but with this guy cut your tyes tell him to come see you when he is clean he keeps going th
Avatar f tn Hi BabyDoll, My name is Mike and I read your post. I am not familiar with Methadone, However my Doctor who put me on Suboxone to aid in my detox from Vicodin mentioned that Sub works for Vicodin, Meth and other things...(can't remember them all), but I do remember him saying Methadone. Anyway, My story is that I was taking 15-20 Norco a day and that equate to 30 to 40 regular vicodin a day.
Avatar m tn im on methadone for pain 40 mgs aday..whats the suboxone for..is it another blocker.. ny brother was on it..but i never found what it is for?????? so if i wanted to not detox i could use it???????????? explain?
Avatar n tn I need to know if i decide to go down to 20mg of methadone then switch to Suboxone..will Suboxone help with my back pain?? I have a physical type of job and its getting hard to even work...I have a family and i MUST be able to work....I sweat ALOT 4 months a year.. Will Suboxone kick out of my system any worse than methadone when sweating?? Also paying for methadone is killing me my insurance wont cover it..
Avatar f tn m really starting to feel the early stages of the methadone withdrawal. I have an appointment with a suboxone counselor (@ a local hospital, using medical insurance/ not a clinic) tomorrow morning, although I won’t be able to see the doctor for the actually suboxone prescription until the following week. Therefore, I will at least be at Day 8, ((if Mon Dr. appt.
