1122748 tn?1306239764 But the problem is that, after three months or so, they have terrible difficulties quitting Suboxone because of its sheer strength in binding to opiate receptors, its long half-life, and the fact that it’s a partial-agonist binding to receptors built for full agonists. most people, including physicians, do not comprehend the strength and effects of buprenorphine.
214255 tn?1205635636 My doc suggests that according to studies, long term use at a stable level, followed by long term taper has the lowest relapse rates. So with me he has me on the same dose as the beginning and we will start to taper 1mg per month for 16 months. The positive thing about doing it this way is that I have been able to work a strong NA/AA program and that likely will give me enough tools over time to handle the taper and emotional stuff by then.
Avatar f tn It is not a miracle drug and it does come with a long list of negatives when taken long term. I truly believe that no one should be on this med long term... again, my opinion. Also, unfortunately, many doctors prescribing suboxone do not have the knowledge neccessary to properly treat people. Please do research online about sub, talk to people who have taken it and form your own opinion.

Avatar f tn BUT, I have to take it or I am in pain. So try not to worry so much about the long term effects when you are trying to survive today. If you are worried about this I would talk to my doctor and let them know what you are experiencing and there may be something they can do differently. Just dont stop any seizure med without a doctors help. Hope you feel better..
Avatar m tn I have no symptoms and feel great; I am 54 and wondering if HEP C would kill me or if the treatment could cause long term effects that could ruin my health. The longest living male in my family was my father 86 and had slow progressive dementia the last 10 years.
351846 tn?1273615544 It was developed for long or short term use. I will say that 16mg, for 8 years, sounds like a high dose. Higher doses are used in the beginning to disuade the use of their DOC and to keep the levels of Suboxone high during the first few days or so. Usually, the dose is lowered in the next few weeks (if the user has been compliant). Anything over the ceiling effect dose (2-4mg) is actually a waste if you've been taking it as directed.
Avatar f tn If someone is only using for short term detox -- maybe 30 days or less. And long term treatment withdrawal. If someone spends a few years taking suboxone.. from 24 mg, down to 1 mg or even .5 mg - how difficult is it to finally quit taking suboxone? Thank you.
Avatar m tn dont be too scared as said above few people experience sides but one thing is for sure long term use for decades is not healthy and only cirrhosis or severe damaged liver can justify such use so i'd definitely combo with other therapies so that nucs can be used short term from latest easl conference we have now tests for sustained immune control of hbv cccdna equal or less than 5 copies/cell we now need an hbsag level equal to 5copies/cell, mybe hbsag 500iu/ml
