Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone and valium

suboxone

Avatar n tn My husband is trying to detox with suboxone and we need to know if he can take it safely. Also, the suboxone doesn't seem to be taking away his withdrawls, he is antsy, has rls, hot and cold, sneezing, nauseaus, very very sick. He has been taking 24-32mg of suboxone and I thought that was a really high dose. He was on about 900mg of oxycodone a day, so maybe that has something to do with it? Anyone please help! Thank you so much in advance!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn If it were me I would not try suboxone. If you could taper down on your valium and pain meds, that would help so much more. You would do it slowly, keep track of when you took each medication always working down. You may be uncomfortable but there are things that can help. One is called the "Thomas Recipe" It was created to help people reduce side effects of stopping the drugs.
Avatar n tn 7 weeks ago he went on Suboxone and started to take about 4 mg of klonopin and 50 mg of valium along with 50 mg of seroquel. 5 weeks ago, the doctor started weaning him off the klonopin and changed him from seroquel to trazodone. ( the valium was never prescribed..he just took that on his own ). On his own, he decided to increase his klonopin dosage and add seroquel back to his regimen.
Avatar f tn If I c/t off the lorcet and still take the valium will the dr. even give me the suboxone? The reason I need to know is I don't want to be in w/d's for 24 hrs for nothing. As I have 3 small children and I am unable to completely detox right now. I am desperate to get off the lorcet since i take 15-20 a day. I have done my research on suboxone and only plan to use it for the shortest amt. of time possible.If anyone can offer any advice I really appreciate it!
Avatar m tn I have chronic panic disorder, depression and chronic pain and really need support in tapering off valium and suboxone they are prescribed legally but I have been on valium since 1997 and opiates and suboxone for pain management since 2000. I lately have gotten really bad with my anxiety and have an appt with a psychiatrist and usually take all meds as directed but lately I have been really leaning on valium more because of chronic panic and fear.
239164 tn?1207263007 I am taking Suboxone - 12 mg./day. I suffered a fall recently and x-rays show a fractured vertebra and 3 dislocated vertebrae. Because of symptoms indicating nerve involvement my physician has ordered a closed MRI. I tried to do it on Wednesday of this past week and they didn't get me into the machine to my waist before I freaked out and insisted on being pulled back out. Unfortunately, because of the injury and my symptoms, the physician needs a closed MRI - the opening is a mere 21".

My physician has ordered an MRI and it is scheduled for Monday afternoon. My problem is that I am horribly, terribly claustrophobic. To the Nth degree!!

Avatar n tn Two weeks ago I went to the ER with withdrawal symptoms, and a dr wrote a rx for suboxone with the pretense that I sign something saying I will go to his office in 3 days. (He only gave me 3 days worth of suboxone.) So I went in on a Thursday and we talked. He said "You basically have three options. You can check yourself into rehab, you can be on suboxone or subutex (kind of the same thing, just one contains another ingredient), or you can just suffer.
Avatar m tn I've been on suboxone for 8 months for opiate withdrawl (8 yrs.methadone & 12 yrs 'H'). I started taking 3- 8mg tabs daily for a couple of weeks, and then I went to 2-8mgs a day, and thru time I am now down to 6mgs. It's been a rough road, but I have to get off all meds. I cannot afford them! My insurance runs out in Nov. or Jan. 2010.
Avatar m tn does anyone know a doc in las vegas that will prescribe suboxone and Valium together please someone help
Avatar n tn Are you talking about the Thomas recipe? This is used for cold turkey or perhaps withdrawels AFTER your OFF suboxone. I don't beleive you mean Vicodin, you probably mean Valium, Right? Because you use Sub to get off vicodin, so you wouldn't use vicodin to get off sub. Anyway, IBKleen just put the link in a prior post, but here it is.

Avatar f tn Hi my name is Mike, im 30, and have two beautiful children ( a newborn baby boy and 11 year old daughter). I have been on suboxone for about 2 years now 8mg a day ( half in morning half at night) , and klodipin 1mg once or twice a day. I recently decided enuff is enuff with the suboxone, and decided a couple days ago to ween myself off. My question is: My new doctor just took me off the klodipin's 2 days ago, because I get really bad panic, and anxiety attacks more then 3 times a day.
Avatar f tn Do you really want to be done with the pills or just suboxone? To me taking valium to get off suboxone is like drinking beer to stop drinking whiskey. It's still gonna keep me drunk. Perhaps the doctor can recommend a good way to get off the subs. WD's are tough but we all go through them when getting cleaned up. You are not alone. There are folks here that can give some good advice on how to best deal with sub WD. I wish you the best in whatever you decide to do.
558096 tn?1255887002 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.
Avatar f tn did a slow detox with the valium and 2 days ago i went from 16mg of valium (daily) to 60mg of phenobarbital (a day).. i was expecting to feel pretty much ok. NOT the case! I am hurting BAD... Has anyone had a similar experience?? or have any comments about the subject? thanks..
Avatar m tn klonopins are really potent .25mg=10 mgs valium and .
Avatar f tn Sub is very expensive. benzos like traycee said they CAN NOT BE CTED.I really should like toy have to sit down with your doctor have a very long discussion like how long will you be on the sub how expensive it is if you remain on it (from what I hear it costs alot.) what recovery care is you doctor planing i setting you up on. What were you on all these med for ?
Avatar f tn They suggested I see a different doctor in their county so I got online and actually found a doctor that treats Suboxone withdrawal. He prescribed me Clonodine, Trazadone, and Valium. After taking these medications my symptoms dropped by about 75 percent!!!! My suicidal aviations stopped. I was able to concentrate enough to watch TV which certainly helped the time go by quicker. I was able to relax and sleep which enabled my body to heal. It also helped prevent relapse.

Avatar f tn Here me out. I was on suboxone 8 miligrams did ocs for 2 years. Suboxone is great you can deffianntly feel it ven if u are addicted your not high your just happy, and waht to get stuff done and feel like you used to. Now this si the fastest was I got off suboxon,. I had gotten methadone pills and took 1 a day for exactly 2 weeks, not one day more because then I would just get addicted to that.
