suboxone first dose

Dude, you need to ask a doctor. What worries me is that you are referring to suboxone first in 2 ml's and then you refer to using a gram a day. Suboxone is does in mg's and the biggest single pill to my knowledge is 8 mg's, however many people are perscribed much more. I used percocets and OC's for a few years and I self medicated myself to 2 mg's daily, but only after thorough research and consultation.

You need to be in withdrawal to take your first dose of Suboxone. Tomorrow will probably just be your consult appt. unless you pre-arranged to be in withdrawal and have your induction tomorrow. Tomorrow they will probably just explain all about the program and tell you how long your doctor wants you to be in withdrawal before starting. Best of Luck.

Its my first day quitting this ****. I feel awful on the suboxone I don't know if i didn't wait long enough. I took my last 6 15mg roxis last night about 830.. today I started feel withdrawls and took my first 1/2 8mg box at 1230 and it didn't help any... so I call my doctor and they said take another half and I guess it makes me feel some what better. I have the shakes something serious a long with the runs and the chills... What do I do Suboxone is supposed to help.

s instruction is important but everyone is different so keeping him updated is important too as no 2 people will respond the same to any drug. Ask him if it is ok to take 4 mgs the first dose, then you can wait an hour or so and take the other 4 mgs and that way you will feel safer about it. I have even known people to take 2 mgs, then an hour take 2 more etc until they get the dose right..after that you will know what you can tolerate and how it will affect you.

i waited ALMOST 5 full days from my last dose of meth before i took my first dose of sub, i was still put into precipitated WD's....BUT it only lasted a few hours...ask your doctor for some clonidine, NOT klonopin...but clonidine, i couldnt have made the transition with out it...i think you will be fine at 4 days with the clonidine, but you MAY still feel pretty bad for a couple of hours....can you lower your meth dose more? if not, you can do this... if i can do it...then you can...

t wait at least 72 hours (the half life of methadone) before taking your first dose of suboxone (or scoring at least 5 on the COWS sheet) and as a result, you had too much methadone in your system for the suboxone to overpower. Taking more methadone to stop the withdrawals would be a big mistake, as it isn't strong enough to kick the suboxone that has bonded, so you will not feel good until the subs wear off, which also has a 72 hour half life.

started suboxone today and felt ok after first dose but after second dose got very nervous.now for the last 2 hours been having burning back pain and rls in legs.is this normal??

Today is my first day of suboxone. I am reading some other posts and it seems like I am taking a higher dose than most. I am on 8mg 2 times a day. I feel okay...not bad at all. I don't feel like spring cleaning my house or anything but hey...no complaints. I'll let you all know tomorrow if it continues like this.

I took my first dose at home, I had some pamphlets on suboxone and a checklist of w/d symptoms I had to be in before taking my first dose. Make sure you talk with your doc about what your treatment plan will entail, mainly the length of time he/she thinks you need to be in sub treatment. Talk about additional support that you can get and if they offer any sort of aftercare, some require that you attend N/A weekly. I wish you the best of luck. Take Care!

The advised time to take the first dose of the suboxone is 12 - 24 hours - - I took it 11 3/4 hours in. I am such an addict. And I snorted it after reading alot of other posts (not on this site) . I don't have anything too helpful to say nor looking for any big answers. Really just been reading alot of posts and wanted to "share". Maybe there is someone going through something similiar. I am planning a 5/6 day suboxone detox from roxys.

does anybody know a good dose to take the first time you take suboxone for detoxing. i am coming off 2 bundles a day and i never trust what the doctors tell me.

ll need to start dropping your doses down until you get to a good maintenance dose of about 2-4 mgs. But we can help you with thses things as you get to them. First things first. Find a doctor. The sub can help you get your life back, but it is a tool, not a cure. Keep posting, we're all here to help.

I start suboxone next week. I have been addicted to pills for years.. I have tried to taper, and CT.. I just can't do it.. I always start back using again.. I want to beat this so I decided to go with suboxone treatment and aftercare.. I just wanted to get some feed-back from people that have been on sub, and how they felt when they started.. any feedback would be greatly appeciated. Thanks so much everyone.

Hello everyone, I'm new here. I've been looking through past posts and this seems like a great place to post my question. I've been an addict for 3 years and yesterday was my fist dose of Suboxone. I ended up in the emergency room for a few hours last night because I couldn't stop throwing up and had a headache fit to split my skull. The ER gave me a Clonodine (sp?

Lots of times, if the headache is really bad, then your dose is too high. When I started suboxone at 24mgs, I was way too high (imo) and I was pretty sick for those first few weeks.. You should talk to your doctor about it and see what he suggests. Good luck.

I'm going to my first NA meeting tonight. I'm not really excited that im going but I'm happy I'm going. Does that make sense? Never before in all the times I've tried to quit did I think I'd go to a meeting for addicts. This is a big step for me. What can I expect? I'm on 10mgs of suboxone BUT I haven't used any illegal drugs for 15 days! I did start thinking about pills last night, it was weird I guess I was craving them.

Hi:) I am new to this...Tomorrow I start on Subutex" for 3 days, then Suboxone after that. Can somenone please tell me the difference between Subetex vs Suboxone for the "induction"? I have been on about 25-30 Norco(10mg) for years and I am unclear as to how long I have to wait between my last dose of norco and my first dose of Subutex. Also, is it true that with Subutex, you won't suffer withdrawls from the norco?

I don’t really understand exactly how low of a dose of oxycontin a person should be on before converting to suboxone (if they choose that route) I’m on 40 mg per day for 9 days now, would I be a candidate now or I wonder if I should go lower? Still undecided…….

I also am working on the mental aspect of my addiction with NA/AA meetings and a suboxone support group. I struggle with chronic pain and have found that a low dose of suboxone really helps me with the pain (everyone is different). I have been weaning off since last Aug very slowly and am considering staying at a very low dose for awhile. But this is my plan. You will see that everyone has an opinion on suboxone but only you and your doctor can individualize your plan.

Hello, Suboxone patient here as well.....currently being tapered, very gradually & carefully by my doc. I was on the max dose allowed for a very long time, and then my doc started a taper process, in hopes that I could eventually come off of the medication all together. So, yeah for me it's definitely a challenge bc I was on such a high dose for so long that my body totally got adapted to it.....and initially, the thoughts of having to come down, or come off, were very scary for me.

I switched from 30mgs of methadone over to 8mgs of suboxone, after tapering my methadone dose down from 120mgs to the 30mgs required before switching. Different doctors have different time periods they make patients wait before taking suboxone. My doc had me wait atleast 48hrs, so I waited about 50hrs before my first dose, but there are many other doctors that require 3-5days off methadone before their first dose.

I have been off Suboxone for at least 15 months. Thinking more and more about my Suboxone doctors ethics... Cash only... 7 years on it with no therapy or a plan to come off of it... He even offered to increase my dose because I felt like I needed more after a couple of years. Glad I didn't and got free from the POS. Just curious if anyone else was offered a higher dose of Suboxone after they had built up a tolerance?

As far as lethargic feeling I also have experience with that... My first dose each day is 16 mg and after that dose I feel very tired! Maybe your son could have the timing of his doses changed...that might help! Good luck to your son in his continued sobriety!!

She had to be in active w/d from the methadone for 24 hrs before her first dose of Suboxone. She takes 2 mg. everyday, and will continue on that for at least 2 months, and then her doctor will taper her off. She has had very few w/d symptoms since first dose of suboxone. A website that might help you is www.EverythingComingUpMethadone. They have alot of advice for people who are on Methadone and Suboxone. Actual accounts from patients who are currently taking these meds.

This is day #3 I have been sober I did not take another dose of suboxone yet, I also have not been to sleep yet I can not sleep to save my life, I got 5 hrs of sleep in 3 days this is the worse feeling in the world and I don't wish it upon anybody.. I wish I know what I could do to help..
