Is there anyway that mixing alcohol with suboxone would cause my feet to swell up?

I am on suboxone prescribed by my doctor, well I resently moved out of town and found a new suboxone dr who has prescribed me all these medications to take along with taking the suboxone. I am soooooo scared to take what he has told me to take seeing all these horror storys online about mixing benzos and suboxone. Well if anyone can help me feel better or if they have had this experience also please post keep in mind I have never took any of these medications before other then the suboxone.

The Suboxone didnt seem to do that much and might have triggered the symptoms as I have read that if the opiate was still present in my body it may bring upon precipitated withdrawal. Anyway, 6 hrs after I took my first dose of Suboxone I broke down and took 40mgs of Oxycontin and feel fine now. I think i'm just gonna try and wean myself off Oxycontin, I think I can do it. I have come close before when I new supply was gonna run low.

Hi there. I have no personal experience mixing alcohol with suboxone but my wife does. She was on subutex in South Africa and drank with no ill effects. However when she emmigrated here(to NZ) she was transferred onto suboxone. Apparently the naltrexone/naloxone disrupts the absorbtion of alcohol into the bloodstream and she could not ever feel the effects of the alcohol. I have also read of a treatment for alcoholics where they are prescibed daily doses of naltrexone for this reason.

i know it makes me ashamed of myself, but going to detox and being put on suboxone and starting treatment was the best thing i could have done, i was fully clean, had no wd discomfort, and had minimal cravings(its all mental you have to take control of that aspect)..youre going to have to sit down and truly think to yourself if you really want to quit using or not??, if you do great!

Ok I have been on suboxone for 7 years ..that is right 7 years and before that 5 years of oxycontin OC and heroin. total of 12 years of substances. I just found out that I have cancer and will need a hysterectomy in a dew days. The oncologist put me on 30mg of Oxycontin OP a week ago while I get the suboxone out of my system. I need it out of my system in order to be treated for pain. (I had a C- section on subutex and it was HELL!!!

I just took 10 mg of Ritalin to help me study. I know this isn't good, but it's what I've chosen to do to read my 100+ pages before tomorrow. I was wondering if it is safe to mix 10 mg of Ritalin with 2mg of Suboxone? I don't think it will put my heart under a lot of stress... I know uppers and downers are bad to mix, but I don't think such a low dose should hurt anything... Anyone know for sure? Thanks.

Had emergency bowel surgery in 2008 was in hospital for three months and on a vac machine for a further eight months and have been on oxycontin since i left hospital was on 60mg per day up to two months ago but now have weaned myself down to 40mg i also take lyrica 400mg per day i am finding it very difficult coming off oxycontin dont no if its pain or withdrawl symptoms could anyone help me Holl

I am so sorry. I do not have info. on Suboxone but someone should answer by morning. The forum is slower in the late evenings. I am wishing you all the best.

The methadone i have never found to cause ant adverse reactions.I no longer double doctor and buy oxycontin and worry about running out.In my opinion the benefits are worth the risk.

today im feeling much better i got out there and ran for the first time in forever and it made me feel great and im only on my 3rd day and in 3 days i've probably taken 6mgs of suboxone the whole time. the only thing im wondering is if the suboxone will give me bad withdrawls if i only take it for 4 to 5 days max. will all the oxycontin be out of my system so that when i stop the 1mg of suboxone i have been taking for the past 4 to 5 days so that i wont go into withdrawls all over again.

I realize this response sounds harsh, but I am sure you were made aware of the dangers of mixing suboxone and any opiate, the dangers of precipitated withdrawal and everyone is well aware that taking medication not prescribed to you is illegal and dangerous. Tramadol is addicting and is well known as an opiate. I am sorry you are in this situation.

About mixing methadone and klonopins.....well here is my story...... i was on meth, and buying klonopin 2mgs.... well one day , actually night i took like 8 or 10mgs. of them. The next day on my way to the meth clinic i was fine. After i took my 85mgs (at the time) dose, well no later than 10 minutes went buy and i knew i was about to black out. I had to drive 20 minutes to the clinic. so i stopped at a friends in the area to do some coke to wake me up....yeah...i know....

DOES MIXING CELEBREX AND SUBOXONE CAUSE ANGER? WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF MIXING THE TWO?

I am sorry that you are having such a hard time. I don't really know much about the suboxone and oxycontin but some people here will be able to help you.

Am I really better off tapering off the suboxone than tapering off the oxycontin? if it is easier, and the process will be more pleasant (I have to work, etc) than I am willing to do it. On the one hand I am excited, I have the ball rolling and there is no going back, but on the other, I am affraid of the unknown.

well anyways baclofen is actually VERY VERY common to be givin along in conjunction with Suboxone.. I know this because i am also going to a detox doctor and i am presribed suboxone and baclofen.. It is NOT an addictive drug and a perfect match when takin along with suboxone.. My doctor speaks Nothing but good things about it when takin along with sub.. well I hope this helps anyone... thanks godbless.

re under age so knock it off. Second,alcohol is a depressant in and of itself. And,lastly, if you read the drug info on Paxil it clearly states that it should not be mixed with alcohol. You need to stop drinking and let the Paxil do it's job. Okay? V.

I've gone through detox from being on fentanyl, oxycontin and norcos, so I know how you feel. Suboxone is better than the subutex. The reason you're not feeling the norcos is because you're taking a partial antagonist, which binds to your opioid receptors and blocks any other drug from doing the same. After you get off the suboxone, you will feel bad, mentally and physically, however, getting off the opiates is a good choice.

I looked up Suboxone and that is used for recovery from substance abuse and I am not familiar with it so if you are concerned about medication interactions speak to your psychiatrist. They can do a search in a physician database that only they have access to and will be far more accurate than any web search you could do (though feel free to go to the medication websites of course). They would likely have a laptop or even Blackberry with the info. All my doctors do even my g.p.

Don't have a question to pose, but this forum is to be part of my diversion program. To me suboxone took away my craving for oxycontin but is by far the best pain killer too, that I have taken. I have found out through many sources oxycontin is positively the worst thing you can take for your body. It will destroy everything and make you worse. Please believe me cus I've gone through absolute hell.

i only smoke at night (as weird as this sounds, my family doctor actually told me that marijuana would help with my nausea (due to suboxone) and appetite (which drastically decreased after the suboxone procedure) and both have been aided greatly by smoking some marijuana at night.

“Suboxone is referred to as a cure for dependency to opiate-based painkillers including Oxycontin®, Vicodin®, Lortab® and Fentanyl, however, because it is half-opiate in composition it can create the same type of physical reliance as any other opiate,” said Clare Kavin, executive director for the Waismann Method. “Many patients have the misconception that because this drug is prescribed by their doctors that it is safe and effective, but they must be educated on the potential risks.

I am on suboxone and it is not safe to drink with the suboxone. It can cause your respiratory to slow down and if this happens there is a chance of possible death. Remember that suboxone is a very strong addictive narcotic itself, drinking while on suboxone could cause you your life. Is a drink worth that?
