Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone group
suboxone
After several years of tramadol addiction (up to as many as 800-1000 mgs per day), I have consulted an addiction specialist and will begin treatment with suboxone next week. Anyone out there with some experience who can give me an idea of what to expect?
I don't think it would be termed a 'forum' but a group or a 'room'. For instance there is a 'Tramadol' group/room. If you like, I'll find out exactly how you can set it up as I know someone who did. (I assume this is about Subs?
Suboxone isnt any harder to manufacture than anything else.....buprenorphine is just sub without the naltrexone..... and naltrexone may be prescribed seperately if needed. Do your homework very well if you wish to promote subs - they are an emotionally charged issue for some reason with about everyone......................
I sa the TV show Dateline and they did a piece on Subone and there were Herion addicts taking it and feeling great and habe their lives back together.So 33 days later I was indused with Suboxone. I prayed and prayed for the Lord to leading me to this. At the time it was as I was sent a gift from the Heavens above.The following July I had to have foot surgery due to tumors of Dupuytren's Contacture Disease. My small finger on my left hand was drawed inward and frozen there.
If so, where????? What is it??
So I am on the last of my soboxone treatment after having a bad opiate addiction and ready to begin the road to recovery. I tried once before but had a little stumble. I have been reading these posts and can see how supportive everyone is and would just like to ask for everyone support. I'll be joining a recovery group at my moms church but it would also be nice to share it with all of you. I look forward to having my life back!! I'll keep you all posted.
Each time I relapsed and went back to opiates, then went through the same withdrawals getting back on suboxone. My doctors original plan for opiate dependency was suboxone maintenance for years, since less then 10% of suboxone quitters stay clean within a year. I switched doctors hoping to quit. Just like my previous attempts it was easy to go from 16mg to 8mg to 4mg to 2mg per day. I had always relapsed after tapering further. This time I stuck to 2mg/per day for three months.
Five years ago, when Suboxone was first released, it was used mostly for 'quick detox'. Now it has been realized that most of those people simply kept using opiates, so most scripts are used for longer-term treatment.
As for the method, different places did it differently; some would simply ask the person to come in after being in severe W/D, and give them a couple Suboxone to relieve their symptoms, then let the Suboxone slowly wear off.
OC is exactly right, get all the information you can about suboxone, it no miracle and can become a big hurdle in itself. For sure the quicker methods in my opinion are the best option(21days), but in almost every instance if we could just taper our drug of choice the withdrawals can actually be easier to deal with. Its a highly debated topic, some people report little to no w/d's, while other like myself wish Id never been mislead into using suboxone.
Check out a site called "The Suboxone Talk Zone" - - - the Doc there is very good and very knowledgable about sub - - and he is a real MD - - -
I have been on suboxone for about 13 months. I have done everything to help myself. I was on 16mg a day until a couple months ago. I told my doctor I was ready and he started tappering me. From what I have read on different blogs these people are goin thru hell . I just want an honest answer from someone is it really that bad? I am down to the last few days of my tapper and don't feel great but I know I not in withdrawal. I have a great support system my loving wife and family.
What strength? 15 may well be enough for your purposes. Dont expect to get completely out of this woods without some scratches from the briars though........
In order to keep my husband calm , who would not understand why I would need to join this group. If you have time I would really appreciate it of someone could tell me what. Subpxone is and how it works.
Has anyone ever had any type of breathing problems while taking suboxone? I have been taking Sub for about 7 months and am doing well. The problem is that since I'm weening off of them I am starting to feeling like i can't catch my breath. It is really driving me crazy to have this feeling! I have had a few people tell me it's just anxiety but I don't know what to think?
If I have not taken suboxone for 6 months and took a half of a pill for cravings would it help
I am wanting to know if the transition to suboxone will be hell? Iam under a doctors care and take 90 mg methadone each day now for years ,,,and want( other than dr,opinion) to know what it is like ? Ido not think that anyone that has not been through it would be able to tell me what it really is like..so please anybody tell me about your experience ,,thanks,, and i appolagize for the incorrect post earler ..
The past 6 days I have been 4mgs. Daily. Not too bad. Most people in my group/outpatient rehab. have been on 16mgs. Daily. I have never exceeded 4mgs. Daily. Any comments, suggestions, experiences? I am following other people here suggest on Taper schedule, good so far. I guess my question is, should I be feeling/experiencing more? Thank You All!!!!
BUT it has a longer half life than codeine which means a nastier withdrawl - its okay if you only use it for 7 days or less AND reduce the amount REALLY rapidly each day (like REALLY dramatially!) - you will still have withdrawl when you stop the suboxone though (as its the same drug group as the codeine) so its kind of just delaying the withdrawl in a way. But it could reduce some withdrawl symptoms if you take it for just say a week, lowering the dose each day.
