suboxone

Avatar f tn It all depends on the type of test they would be testing you with! Most drug screenings test for all of them. But some places only test specifically for suboxone subutex and opiates. I would just call up to the doctor office and ask, u dont necessarily have to give them your name if u ask a generic question such as that!
364605 tn?1200704975 Hey...would love to hear from some of you who have been on suboxone maintenance & your thoughts & feelings about it. I am currently on it for a oxycodone addiction. It is really helping me, but I sometimes feel as though I am replacing one drug for another, although I feel I can function in the world without constantly thinking about pills, swallowing them, worrying when I'm going to run out & how to get my next stash. What are some of your experiences good or bad on suboxone?
148588 tn?1465778809 There are so many different studies and opinions on this issue, I don't think it will ever be resolved... We all know that study data can be skewed any way one wants to skew it, in order to come up with the preferred results. By the way, the video in the link I posted is exactly the same as the video in the original post.
214255 tn?1205635636 What are the symtoms of withdrawl of alcholism? I haven't had a drink in 2 days and I have simular symtoms of opiat w/d's, but I know thats not it, because I have been on Suboxone for a week now and have felt fine. So am I having alcohol w/d's? And if so what are they for someone thats usually drinks a few wine glasses a day? I know I have a bit of a problem and I have to take care of myself and thats why I'm slowing down the drinking ALOT!
Avatar f tn Buprenorphine, marketed under the brand name Suboxone, was developed as a safer alternative for treating people addicted to heroin and painkillers compared to methadone. It was also designed to be resistant to abuse, but it hasn't turned out that way.
Avatar f tn i also have not heard of suboxone and do not know about it's interaction with other drugs, the best people to ask about it are your pdoc or gp. as iladvocate says zyprexa can cause weight gain even on a normal diet which is frustrating as most of the meds have this side effect. i just started seroquel and am losing weight daily and am hoping to be soon back to normal. please don't panic, it sometimes takes a while to find the right combination of meds for each different person.
Avatar m tn I have been an opiate addict for about 4 years now. I wish I knew how serious addiction was when I started messing with them, Im sure you all can say the same! I started on vicodin, then to o.c.'s and finally to methadone. In the middle of this I spent about 10 months straight sober while I was pregnant. It seemed to easy, but as soon as my son was born and I was given painkillers my old habit came back with a vengence. I started taking methadone because I believed all the hype and b.s.
574633 tn?1314209393 I am sorry that this is not very encouraging. But you should be aware of the facts of suboxone. Ask the doctor when he has planned for your husband to be off of them.
Avatar n tn today is day 6 without roxies, and i have tried quitting before cold turkey but that never worked. I always ended up giving up a few days in. So this time i went out and got some suboxone from a friend of mine, and i never realized how well it works. At first i thought it would just help with the symptoms only slightly but today is day six and honestly i feel incredible. I have been on 3-4 30mg roxies everyday for about 2yrs and today is the first day in a long time that i have been happy.
Avatar f tn Also, suboxone is not usually recommended during pregnancy. If you are already on suboxone, you will most likely be switched over to methadone. Suboxone withdrawal in the pregnant woman is just as dangerous to the fetus as mom.going through methadone withdrawal.
Avatar n tn Hey, I'm sorry you're feeling so lousy! If you can clarify whether you were given suboxone or subutex, and what the dosage was while you took it for seven days, that will help the folks here who know more about it to give you feedback (I'm sorry, I don't know enough to do so). I do know enough about oxycodone to say that if you're 14 days from last using it, it's unlikely that that is what's causing the withdrawl symptoms you describe.
Avatar m tn I just started taking the 8/2 suboxone strips and i don't feel any different. been to a few metings....really depressed no energy. Been taking it two and a half weeks i can take up to 3 8/2 a day but i don't. I did during withdrawel. I was taking buttloads of hydrocodones 10/325....then 30 mg oxys not time released mixed w xanax (snorting those 2 together) then started snorting about 22 dilaudids a day 4 mg mixed w xanax or it didnt get me high.
Avatar n tn The time came back in May of 2008 to come off of suboxone, my Doctor had two methods to stop taking suboxone. First methos was the taper, which I tried several times, and failed always going back to suboxone. The second method, is to substitute a strong opiate in place of the suboxone. So being an addict, that method sounded wonderful. For three months I went on Fentanyl patches. The idea is the patch keeps you from feeling the effects of the suboxone withdrawal.
19527380 tn?1479378383 I got stopped because I feel a sleep in front of a store. The officer had me do the alcohol test. I did a breathelizer and passed 100 percent. They took my car searched it before he impounded it. It took me over month to get my stuff back: Bank Card, Credit Card, Drivers License, Car, Car Keys and other keys. And he took my subscription drug "Suboxone". I really needed them but he would not give them back.
Avatar m tn My family has suffered beyond words in dealing with opioid addiction. I am in the midst of grieving the loss of my adult child due to opioids. I have spent the last 6 months researching every aspect of brain chemistry and how pain meds work ...and kill. I was in the "no to suboxone" camp, under the impression of "substituting one drug for another", was redundant. However, after reading the Huffington Post's WELL WRITTEN article, my opinion has done a complete 180.
Avatar n tn Has anyone been on suboxone and noticed it works better at lower doses, compared to the 12-16mg. target dosage for maintaince?? I was on 16mg. for about 10 days, and I just felt down, sluggish, depressed and so on. But I tapered my dosage from 16mg. a day down to 8 and it seems to work much better, I tapered down by 1mg a day, because some people do not realize that suboxone, even at 4mg. is a pretty high dosage because it is very potent. Let me know, Thanks and God Bless.
10947 tn?1281404252 This is great ! I was really enjoying the HealthPage on Suboxone. I know it said it is a work in progress, but it stopped mid-sentence. Is there a page 2 I can't seem to find.
Avatar f tn definately not a failure coming off any of this stuff. read the suboxone facts at the bottom of this page. sleep is a problem at first for all of us. I used benedryl for about 1 1/2 weeks 2 tabs of 25mg. I know that subs sometimes can keep people up, so try to take it early in the day. best of luck, others will come along and offer their own idea's. this site alone provided,and continues to provide all the info I needed to keep going.
Avatar n tn I need to find a doctor who prescribes suboxone for pain managment near Avondale, Arizona
Avatar m tn iam sorry for my ignorant comments on suboxone. This is my first addiction as you know for percs then a year on Oxy. I recieved a message explaining what I needed to know and was very sad for what I thought was correct. Here iam judging the strength of the very people who helped me. Suboxone has been explained to me by wait2long in great detaill. And now understand that some people r not as strong as I hope iam. I thought until now I would not fall back.
Avatar n tn s designed to stop any other narcotic from attaching to the brain. Buprenorphine is a narcotic. Suboxone is buprenorphene/Naloxon together. With a prescription of suboxone, now anyway, comes with a prescription for Narcan. This is ONLY used when someone has OD'd. It knocks all narcotics off of the brain and saves people's lives if used in time. Please, get the facts before passing on any kind of medication information so it its safe for other's.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed morphine and hydrocodone from the VA.I see a lot of people on this site asking how to get off these pills without the horrifying withdraws.it's possible but you control the detox.I was on 180 mg.morphine a day,here's the facts. At that level it will take 8-9 months by reducing the dose by 15 mg a month.I told my Dr.to help me by lowering my prescription each month.I'm on my last month now at 15 mg.a day and have had no withdrawal symptoms at all.
