suboxone dosing instructions

Hi, You need to speak with your prescribing physician about dosing instructions with the Suboxone. Make certain you follow his instructions, especially going from Methadone to Suboxone. Let us know how you make out.

Are you under a doctor's care with the Suboxone? If so, you need to follow the doctor's instructions. Suboxone is not just a pill to ward off withdrawal, it is a complete program which usually includes counseling, etc. If you are taking Suboxone which you purchased on the street, we cannot give you dosing advise. It is a violation of our guidelines. Sorry and I wish you the best.

If you take your reguarl suboxone dose it will pass in 2-3 days. If you take more of an agonist or more Suboxone, you will prolong it for complicated reasons. For example, there is evidence that in very high doses buprenorphine acts like an antagonist! So... be patient, dose each morning, and wait for it to pass.

good luck on however you get off the oxy we will support you threw it with or without the sub we just cant give dosing instructions or taper instructions..........

Call your local pharmacist. We at MedHelp are not allowed to give out dosing instructions. Your pharmacist will be able to tell you exactly how to dose the medications. If your regular pharmacy is closed on Sunday, call any pharmacist availabe at your local grocery store or drug store such as Walgreens, CVS, or RiteAid.

I have had one patient (out of a couple hundred treated with Suboxone) who thought that he had leg edema from the Suboxone. We eventually changed to Subutex, then eventually stopped the Suboxone... and the edema persisted. I don't know if it was related to the Suboxone or not. In your case it started after several months... and I have just as hard a time deciding if there is a connection.

i just had knee surgery and was put on percocet for acute pain 2 tabs every 4 hours. i had my last dose at 10pm last night. it is now 11am the next day. when can i resume suboxone again and should i start where i left off or start slow?

I took a 2mg suboxone in the am and 2mg in pm for two days to try and get off those dam roxi's. My last dose of 2mg was yesterday at 5:30pm. As I keep reading and researching about suboxone I am getting more and more afraid that I am going to have withdrawals from the suboxone(which I heard was worse). I am contiplating not taking the suboxone today and just stopping. Will I gert withdrawals from suboxone from taking it for 2 days? If so how long do you think they will last?

It is a shame. I know it seems talking about suboxone is taboo on this forum. All I know is that hearing other peoples experiences has helped me so much. It lets me know that others are struggling with similar issues. Because of my addictions I have isolated myself and do not have the friend network I once had. I really hope that people will continue to post the good, bad, and ugly. I mean no understands what we are going through better than other addicts.

) So, I guess, my advice would be that if and when you retreat, be sure that you get detailed and accurate instructions concerning the medications and dosing instructions. Also, it would be wise to get a timer and set it and some alarms for reminders. I hope other here can tell you more about your other questions. Best of luck to you going forward.

That depends on your doctors comfort levels in prescribing , a patients ability to tolerate side effects, other medical conditions, effectiveness of using opiates, but typically- most physicians will not prescribe over 90 to 100 MME mg dosing per day-(Morphine equivalent dosing per day)- and typically only for patients who have been on opiates for some time. MME dosing combines both long acting and immediate release types of opiates to reach 90-100mg MME daily.

Given the fact that the sub was NOT prescribed by a doctor we really should not give out dosing instructions. None of us know the medical history of this person.

I have worked my way down to about 2mg of Suboxone a day but problem is I have this split into four daily doses. If I try taking all 2mgs in morning I still have to take another dose or so that evening and night, so I am taking much more than just 2mgs. I know when tapering most try to get dosing only once daily so should I up my dose until I can only take one daily dose then work down from there.

No one here can give you dosing instructions or tell you that your should adjust your dose. It is against our guidelines, besides we are not qualified to do that. It is dangerous. I did a Suboxone treatment program and again, that is why I am trying to get you to call your doctor. You will all the support in the world here but not with that particular question. I am sorry if you misunderstood what I was saying.

I took on average 13-15 of them a day for 2 years. Then, I discovered suboxone and was on it for a little over a year...never relapsed. I got down to a quarter of a 2mg pill(0.5mg). Why am I still experiencing such harsh withdrawals? I just want to be off the suboxone and done with it for good. I stopped going to my doctor 3 months ago. I haven't ran out of suboxone either. Just wanted to quit...but, I guess it will leave me no choice but to take it again.

Recently i decided that enough was enough, and started looking for treatment options. I decided to give Suboxone a shot, and made an appointment for next Wednesday, and my follow up apt Thursday morning (first dose). I am still using, Lortabs at the moment (because my H dealer is out of town), but I'm sick of it all...

Hu, it is a violation of our guidelines to give you dosing instructions---you can imagine why. We are just a bunch of addicts, like you and not medically trained. We can only suggest thing to make you comfortable. The doctor didn't call you back? hhmmmm Take a nice hot bath or shower if you prefer, get on some comfortable clothes and watch a movie, or read a book or just relax in a chair. Try and get your mind off of this.

built like a brick house 20 year old male die from doing a combo of H and Suboxone thinking he was invincible, and Suboxone was just a sissy drug ....... that is not b*lls*hit...... just a fact... which is what you ask for........ you can OD by doing both, depending of course based on the mgs of Suboxone and the amount of heroin, in a nano second.

My doctor put me on a taper and instructed me to mix my suboxone pills in water. He is in another state since I moved and I cannot find his instructions. How do I dilute this properly. I have 8 mg pills and am wondering the water to pill ratio so that I can measure my specific doses.

You need to consult with your prescribing doctor regarding dosing instructions.

This is something you need to discuss with your doctor. Suboxone doesn't really require multiple dosing, and actually people very frequently develop mental hang ups about those subsequent daily doses when it's time to taper, they have a hard time eliminating those multiple doses. Subxone can be taken in one dose daily.

Congrats! Just curious. What was your suboxone dosing schedule? Do you have to wean off of that too?
