Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone length of treatment
suboxone
of suboxone/day. My titration schedule had me detoxing off of suboxone over the period of two months. I faithfully followed the schedule until I got down to about 8 mg. of suboxone, but then the leg aches, back aches and hypertension really set in. I had had them all along since the beginning, but the suboxone made them bearable. I continued going down on my suboxone until I reached 2 mg.
Hi I had a question about the length of time I should be expecting to be withdrawing from suboxone. A little history: I was on suboxone 16mg/day for about 6 mos, then I dropped down to about 8mg/day for about 2 weeks, then I dropped down to 4mg/day for about a week then stopped cold turkey 2 days ago. Can I possibly estimate how bad the worst of the withdrawals will last?
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!
Per Center for Substance Abuse Treatment or CSAT, the length of time for buprenorphine maintenance therapy may be indefinite for most patients and is highly individualized.
Manufacture prescription drug label states that Suboxone, either sublingual tablets or film, should not be "cut, crush, break, chew or swallow ". Thus, it is a great idea for you to seek assistance from specialty compounding pharmacies with dosage customization.
There are very good antipsycotics to help ease the symptoms you have described. I have read a few posts where people have experienced your type of problems as well.

Triple medication treatment of Interferon, Ribavirin, and a Protease Inhibitor (either Teleprvir or Boceprevir) are now the standard of care for treatment of Genotype 1. The length of treatment depends on your past response to treatment.
I am not sure in which country you live and if the new protease inhibitors are available where you live. If they are available then it would be important to discuss treating with the triple medication regimen with your doctor.
I think any longer then six months you are going to a good amount of withdrawal coming off of them .Also I have heard tapering all of the way down to a crumb when you do decide to jump off is the way to go ...You can do this Sub is a wonderful tool for getting drug free ,just keep in mind its only a tool .There still will be alot of work that you will have to do ...
You could physically take the T3 - it won't make you sick. But sub is an opiate blocker so the T3's pain relieving effects would be low, if not nonexistant. If you do take them, you'd have to push back your sub dose cuz taking the sub while the T3 is still circulating in your system would make you sick.
Why do you want to take painkillers while on the sub? If you have pain maybe you should talk to your doctor.
Has he talked to his doctor about the length of time he wants to be on the Sub? Or the length of time the doctor feels he should be on it? (Although lots of Dr's want you to be on it for long time...more money for them). It's about 15-21 days on Sub before getting addicted to it. So if he's gonna do a short term Sub, he should start to slowly taper til he's done.
Any higher is pointless, I would take that and it would actually give me more of a buzz than 32 mgs. The lower the dose of suboxone the actual more effect you get out of it, thats one of the big reasons why it is so unique. The naloxone in the suboxone sublingual tablet is only present to deter users from injecting it, that is the only way to make the naloxone effective or active, but many research and ppl are skeptical that the naloxone doesn't work at all or cannot become active at all.
My daugther is an opiate addict who has used RX pills and herion. She has been taking suboxone as treatment but can not get into the MD for two weeks. She has only 4 days left of suboxone. She was able to get and appointment tomorrow at a methadone clinic. She wants to to take methadone for the two weeks before her addictionologist appointment. She doesnt want the clinic to know. I told her to be honest at the clinic so she doesn't have some type of reacton.
