Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone and weed

suboxone

Avatar m tn Glad to hear your feeling good and congrats on 16 days off the pills. You will beat this as long as you know you can't go back and keep your guard up, your doing great. As far as the weed, just be careful not to switch addictions. I have heard it helped some with w/d's, but since this is a drug forum, nobody will tell you to smoke it. Myself, I have nothing against it, but it is a drug still and addictive for some. Stay strong man.
Avatar f tn alot of doctors keep this a secret but smoking weed is a hell of alot better then takeing a nerve med or suboxone it helps you quit a narcotic and can improve nerve pain. so it should become legal to 30 and over. it ***** to have these pills that make you feel so good and give you so much energy but at the same time there ruining your body and the withdrawl is hell. even if taken like prescribed you can become addicted.
Avatar n tn "Weed helps with the depression but I just get tired and fall asleep." Weed had a reputation of doing that. ;) I found I could get by on 2mg a day as well as 8mg. When I did come off I had a relatively easy time of it compared to people on 24-32mg a day. Give it time to build up in your system before you say it's not working. Even at 2mg you're taking it in faster than your body can eliminate it due to the long half life.
Avatar f tn I am currently on Suboxone and I was also on it with my last pregnancy and he was/is perfectly healthy so maybe you could consider that route...Dont be to hard on yourself. Your trying and thats better then nothing. Just be strong keep your head up and never quit fighting. I hope that you get the help that you and your little one need...
13354001 tn?1432155513 And most of us who have long time sobriety have seen people try and stay w/ just weed and they always find their way back to other drugs or alcohol. That's not recovery. Good luck to you, though.
Avatar f tn If I were you I would split the 8mg Sub into four pieces and try and hold out as long as possible. Suboxone worked very well for me but I think I will always still crave opiates. A day at a time I guess. Good Luck!
Avatar m tn To a point to where if I wasn’t smoking I wouldn’t be high. Weed made me energized and relaxed at the same time. Now with it legal, the delta 8,9 & 10 so confusing for me, and Ima try CBD see how that goes. I know it is a possibility. I ordered VOACATOX from pushfourth *******. It’s one of those too good to be true products, but it’s also has 3 ingredients in it. 1 of them is known to help withdrawal. A lot of people who here about kratom and addiction might laugh.
Avatar m tn I totally understand and agree with "drugs are drugs" I just cant sleep and cant eat while w/d and somhow the weed and valiums make it so i can knock out and the weed makes me hungry. In order to make this detox more successful i will cut down on the weed and also will taper the valium to an obsolete amount. I know this is strange but im looking forward to the symptoms just so i can move on. I just want my life back.
1640468 tn?1300734005 good medicinal weed or hash with a high THC content. It helps IMMENSELY with the nausea and pain. And the xanex...its technically addicting but in this kind of situation where you only need it for a week or so, its mind over matter...the addiction to xanex isnt like oxy's where the first time you try it its like OMG I LOVE IT! Just use your best judgement and go for it. Make sure you do it in a comfy place bc no matter how comfy it may be, you will still not get comfortable lol.
Avatar f tn My feelings are mixed because I started taking suboxone to get off of tabs and after a lot of reading I am wondering if I made a mistake by using suboxone and not going cold turkey!?? I don't want to get hooked on anything else but now I am very worried I might! I didn't realize you could get hooked on suboxone. It doesn't get you "high" but makes you feel great compared to the way you would feel without them. Worried !
Avatar f tn What I found with my methadone was that my pain could be handled without it. I did smoke weed and am an advocate for that. I came off of heroin with methadone and then tapered off of that. If your wanting off of the opiates ask your doctor for help. They can prescribe non narcotic medication to ease your suffering. They may also prescribe benzodiazepines like Valium, Ativan, klonapin to name a few which would help maybe with your seizure disorder.
Avatar f tn sara, you can do this, its really not that bad, just wondering how old you are?
Avatar n tn his hacking defintely could be cigarettes, marijuana, or smoking heroin(its called chasing the dragon), snorting really doesnt cause that,ive tried it all and i hack up alot because of smoking weed and cigarettes now and then..best of luck with you and your son..stay strong..if you have any other questions about treament or anything drug related feel free to write to me anytime...
Avatar f tn today is day 24 on suboxone and off perks and weed feeling real good i go to group 2x a month my life is sooo dif im alot happier
Avatar n tn This board was intended for recovery ,not for just quiting vicodin or dope and smoking weed. I used to think like you and found out the hard way that weed, tabacoo and narcotics are all connected in your brain . Weed is also lincked to mental illness and is very bad for your lungs and can cause lung cancer. I hope if you clear up a little you will realize this.
Avatar n tn Knowledge is power. Suboxone is a very strong and powerful partial opiate and is extremely addicting and difficult to kick (take it from me and many others).. however it can also be a very useful tool in detox. It should be used with caution, under a doctors care (also be wary of doctors recommending long term use). There is a member on here who has detoxed off both methadone and suboxone in his life and Ill reacch out to him and ask him to respond to this post.
Avatar f tn There isnt much difference between methadone and suboxone when it comes to length of w/ds and how low of a dose you have to get to. Does your dr know your on all of these different meds because i would feel like im on a constant roller coaster.....is that the point? Are you ready to get all of this **** out your system?
Avatar f tn t get on the subs, that will actually keep you from fully detoxing from the opiates. Use the weed, and benzos to manage the anxiety and insomnia for the first 3-5 days. Once you run out of the stuff you have on hand, don't resupply. Get yourself to an AA or NA meeting and tell them whats been going on, and listen to what they have to say. If you really want to get clean, in my opinion, you'll have to get rid of all mind altering substances from your lfie. You can do it though.
Avatar m tn m going from taking about 15 - 20 Lorcets , drinking HEAVILY, smoking weed, and the occasional upper and anti anxiety/depressant. I did this for about 2 years and finally got fed up with it So I feel like I've gone a long way from how I used to be. I don't even think about getting messed up any more, only about the future and how I can better my life. I'm currently in nursing school but have not gotten far enough to know much about this subject.
Avatar f tn as regards liver i have no idea, try to google oxidative stress and weed, if weed can increase oxidative stress it is definitely bad Is it as dangerous as alchohal? no, alcool can be much more dangerous than hbv itself even on those with no hbv.
Avatar f tn I am happy for you and very proud of you. I do know that suboxone is frowned by many fellowships. Being on suboxone is not considered "being clean". Then again there is the clause " the desire to stop using" which is what the person is doing on the subs or meth. It is supposed to be abstinence from any kind of altering drugs. That being said if someone is on mmt or subs long term and need support what options are there? About the cannabis.?? Not sure how to respond.
13146300 tn?1428729753 Nobody knows I have it. And it was the other half dose. The 14 doesnt. But the 18 doesn't live with us and has her problems with cutting and I know she drinks sometimes and smokes weed sometimes but that's all I know about her. I hoping it fell out of my purse sometime. When I left the house and went to first meeting tonite and it went well and I'll be going to another one tomorrow. I had a long talk with my fiancé about.
Avatar f tn or just substitute it for your addiction but i have heard weed is non habit forming and i have never fealt an addiction for it (i dont go crazy or anything when i cant afford it lol) PS This WILL NOT last...This CANNOT last...

Avatar m tn But if you have any questions about it or my story just ask,my friends and I all have experience getting clean from suboxone and all are living productive life's.
Avatar m tn I know alot of people that used ibogiane 2 quit herion and pills, i quit with herbs mostly high doses of kratom, and smokin kind nugs...30 days clean! used h 8 years tried suboxone, methadone taper, just didnt do it for me. I simply went to remote cabin 700 miles away from dope man n made myself, im stuborn as hell but that ish got me every time.anyone tried quiting with these things?
Avatar f tn In that time I have smoked weed during periods of that time and taking Klonopin here and there - I would be perscribed an anxiety medication but I've been on subutex since getting off the heroin and it's not allowed to be on both at the same time so I went with the sub's because it helped me get my life back and figured I could deal as well as possible with the anxiety in order to get off the heroin and stay off of it.
1507581 tn?1289840065 Hi, Are you taking 20-25 benzos a day? If so, that is very, very dangerous. And 5 years on Suboxone is a long time as well. The side effects from K2 are death. They are trying to get the stuff off the market. Brit, I am looking at you at 25 years old and it breaks my heart. You need to get with your prescribing doctors and start tapering on those meds. The benzos NEED to be tapered. The withdrawal from the Suboxone will be intense if you don't taper down as far as you can.
Avatar f tn My daughter is scheduled to head to rehab next week for a severe opiate addiction. She has suboxone but has also lapsed and not used that and has reverted to opiates. What can I do to help her get through the next few days until she leaves. Her mood swings and anger are off the charts. Last night I gave her my sleeping pills and a muscle relaxer. I just want to make her comfortable and not have her flip out and try to get drugs or get violent.
Avatar n tn I am 5 months pregnant and I feel like since I became pregnant that I crave weed more than I did not pregnant. I have no appetite unless i smoke. Is this a bad thing? Can marijuana harm my baby?
