Percocet withdrawal suboxone

Common Questions and Answers about Percocet withdrawal suboxone

percocet

Avatar n tn In other words, taking the percocet can actually cause withdrawal like symptoms if you have used suboxone within the last 4 - 5 days. Because you are on a low dose of suboxone, I hope the side effects aren't too bad. Best of luck!
Avatar m tn s an option, but it may not be an option for everyone, just like suboxone. For some people they can get through withdrawal without prescriptions and just use vitamins and natural supplements, it just depends on each person's individual needs.
Avatar f tn 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.
1462755 tn?1286048715 Welcome, I do not recommend going on a Suboxone program to come off of Percocet, but that is just my opinion. As you stated, you will suffer withdrawal from the Suboxone eventually and it is far worse than the opiate withdrawal you are suffering now. If you are still going to go on the program, please do research about it, for one, and take that time to get your life together .. get therapy .. find a support group ...
Avatar m tn Hi, I've been an on/off opiate user for many years. I know with regular opiates, I'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 f tn Ok, so Mon am was my last percocet. Was taking 20 a day. I started suboxone Monday night. I feel fine on it but do not want to stay on it. I want off everything. Can u tell me, if I am only on it a couple weeks, will I have WD if I taper off???
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.
4653043 tn?1357602278 Hi guys. :) This is my first day on this forum. I need some emotional support! I'm on day 1 of percocet withdrawal and I know it's only going to get worse. I've been on about 80mg/day for 8 months. I just am looking for an idea of what to expect: a) how many days am I going to be "down for the count" and unable to return to work, and b) what are the typical things I can expect, and finally c) which day(s) are going to be the worst?
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 m tn I stayed on the Suboxone for two years. Sure I could have gone through the Percocet withdrawal, but I knew it wouldn't last, because I knew I wasn't in the place at that time to turn down a pill. But I knew I had the desire to quit. Suboxone allowed me the time to find my coping skills, my triggers, my true desire to be pill free and to really have a plan. Looking back, I'm so glad I went with my decision to take Suboxone. I have been off of Suboxone since November 19, 2010.
Avatar f tn I really want to get off but i cant take the withdrawal. I bought 8 suboxone pills hoping that they will help. My question is, how do I take it safely and can I take it for a week to help with the worst withdrawal symptoms without getting addicted to it?
Avatar f tn ve been clean for a year now but i had to go through a methadone / suboxone clinic to help me because I would give up after the withdrawal got so bad... I started on suboxone and got up to 22mgs and tapered down slowly ( 1/2 mg every 2wks) after 6mpnths. The withdrawal from suboxone is noticeable but nothing like opiates .. this treatment was monitored daily - but worked wonders for me.
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 Opiate withdrawal is opiate withdrawal, whether you abuse heroin, vicodin, percocet, whatever. How long you took it, how much you took, and whether or not you tapered will affect how bad it will be. Suboxone can be really bad because it lasts a very long time. Read the Suboxone FAQ an see it can last months for those who used it for a long time. Willpower alone won't keep you away from pills.
Avatar m tn m not sure the affects it will have on a pregnancy this early. I refuse to put a new born baby through the pain and agony of withdrawal from suboxone or methadone(which is way worse and longer withdrawal than a pain pill). I have taken about 5 mgs of percocet at night time to sleep. What are the risks of coming off suboxone while pregnant?
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 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 f tn t have first hand experience with Suboxone withdrawal because I have never been on it but I have read and heard that it is like, but less intense, than opiate withdrawal. Someone else with first hand knowledge can give you some more information.
Avatar n tn I had to have dental work done while on subs (wisdom teeth extractions - 2 of them with stitches!) I could not take anything for the pain - other than the sub, obviously. My sub doctor said that it would have no effect. I also called the suboxone hotline and was told the same thing. Advil helped. I got through it though. good luck to you!
Avatar n tn if you are not abusing you pain meds then i don't think suboxone is the right choice at all for you. it is mainly used for relapse prevention. it's does little for pain. i have a friend who is on pain med yet does not abuse. when he becomes tolerant, he has his doctor switch him to a different medicine rather than up his dose. he absolutely refuses to be put on oxycontin. it is my understanding that withdrawing from suboxone is very very hard and long lasting.
1337431 tn?1280955899 Suboxone is also used for pain management, even though it's an off-label use. Is your doctor using it for a quick detox or is he planning on using it long-term? Suboxone was studied and FDA-approved for 21-day use. No studies yet exist to determine long-term effects of Suboxone use. Do yourself a favor, and keep that Suboxone dose as low as humanly possible. It's got an incredibly long half-life, which makes it terribly difficult to stop using. You have to taper off very slowly.
Avatar m tn This is my first week here and getting tremendous amount of support, reason why I've chosen to finally come off the Oxy on June 13th.. Question: I'm curious about the withdrawal from Oxy compared to all the other Opiates, are they similar to Tramadol, Vic/hydro, etc. withdrawals. Reason why I'm asking, I hear a lot of interesting withdrawal stories from this group of drugs here on MedHelp but not from Oxy..
950277 tn?1247274551 I like an idiot gave him a suboxone. He said it saved his life. So now if he feels bad he beggs me for a suboxone, It pisses me off that he will party and then ask me for a suboxone. I am the giving type. I dont like to say no. I dont like seeing him in pain. Probably cause I know that pain! What should I do? He is my best friend!
