Suboxone opiate blocker

Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone opiate blocker

suboxone

Avatar f tn That would be a very very bad huge mistake. Suboxone contains an opiate blocker and taking it with norco or vicodin or any other opiate will throw you into precipitated withdrawal and you will become miserably sick and there will be no way to reverse it except time. Suboxone is part opiate, part opiate blocker. It should only be used when you are in full withdrawal from norco or vicodin or any other opiate and never in conjunction with. You would be very sorry to take it together.
Avatar f tn Suboxone was approved by the FDA for short-term use only - not for use in chronic pain patients. It contains both a potent synthetic opiate (narcotic) and partial opiate blocker. It's intended use is to prevent withdrawal symptoms in anyone who is dependent on narcotics, be it from a necessary therapeutic use for pain, or addiction and abuse. Because of the partial opiate blocker, it is a bad medication for chronic pain patients (in my opinion anyway).
Avatar m tn s an opiate blocker. Basically like suboxone with out the opiates. Suboxone is made up of 2 chemicals buprenorphine (opiate) and naloxone (opiate blocker). The reason you get hooked on suboxone and withdraw from it is because it's a narcotic and has opiates. Vivitrol is only naloxone so it's just a opiate blocker. No narcotics, no addiction, and no withdraws. Suppose to be awesome and takes away cravings and help the brain and receptors recover at a faster rate.
947931 tn?1251495088 Suboxone is not an opiate. It is an opiate blocker. Thats why they prescribe them to you to get off of opiates! Just like methadone, it is an opiate blocker also. Which means you cannot even try to use an opiate while taking suboxone or methadone.
Avatar n tn s not recommended to be taken during pregnancy. Subutex, which is buprenorphine (the opiate) without the naloxone (the opiate blocker) is given to pregnant women in place of the suboxone. You need to speak with your OB right away, to figure out what the plan will be. Good luck!
Avatar m tn Subutex is 100% Buprenorphine while suboxone is Bup plus Naloxone which is an opiate blocker. Some detoxes use Subutex to start to avoid severe withdrawl symptoms which can come on if suboxone is taken too early before severe withdrawls start. The reason Subutex is not widely used in the U.S. is it is easily abused. Subutex is widely abused and replaced heroin for many addicts in Europe. Take the option out of your hands....
Avatar f tn Suboxone is used for pain management but it was intended for opiate withdrawal. I assume you do know you can not take the suboxone with any type of opiate as it will make you very ill. As far as using for post surgical pain I would not think it would provide enough pain relief for you. When you do decide if you do to take the suboxone again make sure all the opioids are out of your system.
Avatar f tn Why would a Dr refuse to prescribe me subtex over suboxone for pain management if I have never admitted or reported or been caught as an opiate addict?
Avatar n tn Subxone is an opiate blocker - so by taking a roxy, he would NOT get high. If he has pain, it may help his pain on a very small level. If he was coming off of other opiates and took suboxone before he was in full wds, he'd get very sick. Go to google and search suboxone - you'll likely be shocked as to the info you can find! Also - definitely stay away from people like that!! Anyone who's not trying to help you, is trying to hurt you, ya know?
Avatar n tn Suboxone is another form of opiate. What may have happened is that they didn't wait long enough to give you the suboxone and you went into precipitated withdrawal. Sub is also an opiate blocker and that is why that can happen. The blame doesn't lie in the suboxone but the detox clinic you went to. When you say you did not know they wouldn't be giving another form of opiate what did you expect?
Avatar n tn You cant take pain pills then a subutex or suboxone. Who told you to do that? Subutex and suboxone are to be used when coming off opiates and you must wait from the time of your last use of opiates and wait until your in withdrawal and wait until u cant take it anymore then you take the subutex and youll feel better in less than an hour.
Avatar n tn methadone is an opiate blocker. That is why you do not feel the meds. I find it strange that a doctor would give an rx for methadone and opiate pain meds. Maybe a quack because I deff now for sure that methadone is a opiate blocker, which is why it is a good form of recovery for some people.
Avatar m tn i am allergic to naloxone (the opiate blocker in suboxone). i dont wanna get on methadone cuz the addiction gets serious. is there any thing like suboxone with the naloxone in it?
Avatar n tn They can be used to ease it but tapering off or cold turkey is the only way i believe, theres no just moving onto some other drug to help..Its just another opiate.. I would say try suboxone for a few days to get the tolerance down and taper off..no more opiates, even though suboxone is an opiate, it does have the blocker in it too so..Tell her to take it one day at a time and get off all pills in general ASAP!! GOODLUCK!!!
351846 tn?1273615544 Suboxone contains two active medications....one is buprenorphine it is an opiate.....naloxone is an opiate blocker. U take it under the tongue and let it dissolve.......should not shoot or snort it........buprenorphine attaches itself to the opiate receptors in our brain to help block pain......
Avatar f tn It is admirable that you want to get off of heroin, it is a relatively short acting opiate and you would have probably started feeling your withdrawals already if you did not take Suboxone. Now let me tel you about Suboxone. Suboxone is the brand name for a medication consisting of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a thebaine derivative with powerful analgesia approximately 20-40x more potent than morphine.
1800740 tn?1324237171 I think it is admirable that you want to get off of opiates. I do want to caution you that Suboxone in also an opiate. Suboxone is the brand name for a medication consisting of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a thebaine derivative with powerful analgesia approximately 20-40x more potent than morphine.
Avatar n tn I heard that if you make the switch to Subutex instead, you will not have the withdrawal like you do the Suboxone, because it does not have the opiate blocker in it. Has anyone ever experienced the switch from Methadone to Subutex, and if so, how was it?
Avatar n tn One is a powerful synthetic opiate, the other is a partial opiate blocker. The reason suboxone helps withdrawal is because of the opiate ingredient. The partial blocking mechanism keeps the patient from getting high. Personally, I would not want to use this drug as an answer to chronic pain without some kind of study to back up using it in that way.
445698 tn?1208618507 Hey there everyone, I just had a question about the drugs Suboxone and Methadone. My question is which one has the mose opiate like affects ( gets you high like other opiates)? My doctor is putting me on one or the other next week, and I want to be on one that is gonna work, but I also want the one thats not going to get me high like heroin or Morphine does. Any info on the comparison of these drugs would be helpful...
214255 tn?1205635636 No suboxone is not like methadone there's no high and it's a opiate blocker pretty much a mirical drug from opiate addicts....I don't have any of those symtoms so it must have just been that I didn't take enough sub.....Also since you're going by my profile ha I guess I have to update that alot I wrote it when I was P1sses and all messed up on pills soooo on that note.
Avatar f tn I do want to caution you that Suboxone in also an opiate. Before I address that though, I wanted to also address the damage you are doing to your liver because of the amount of acetaminophen you ingest by taking both percocets and Coricidin. Just Something to think about. Now let me tel you about Suboxone. Suboxone is the brand name for a medication consisting of buprenorphine and naloxone.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn I’ve been on SUBUTEX for pain , for 5 years not Soboxone. It’s Buprenorphibe without the naloxone which is an opiate blocker. And oh yes, suboxone will send you into precipitated withdrawals if you take anything narcotic. And it’s hell. Honestly wish I’d never have started, as trying to come off of it comes with its own nasty set of issues. And it’s eats up the calcium in your bones. On my 3rd surgery, tried coming off & could not take the pain, so it absolutely has helped me with pain.
Avatar n tn Naltrexone is an opiate blocker. It will fill the opiate receptors on the brain so if an opiate is taken - like heroin or vicodin, the Naltrexone will block the opiate so no high will result. It is similar to Narcan, which is used by paramedics to reverse an opiate overdose. Naltrexone implants are still considered "experimental" by the FDA, but many detox centers and rapid detox places use them following the detox as a preventative measure against relapse.
Avatar f tn I am advanced maternal age(40)and taking 16 mgms of Suboxone films for opiate addiction/withdrawal. How will this affect my unborn child?
Avatar m tn You're thinking of naloxone in the suboxone. The nalaxone isn't the opiate blocker in suboxone. The main ingredient is Buprenorphine which is in suboxone and subutex that is the blocker. The naloxone passes through this system orally. The only reason it is in there is to keep people from shooting it up. If the suboxone is used IV the nalaxone will then do its job. So really there is no difference in the suboxone and subutex unless someone tries to shoot it up.
1181063 tn?1264711290 im not sure if suboxone is available in the U.K but i will for sure talk to my gp about the urges..i get a lot of support on this forum and i have not used since july 09...my main worry now is coming off the meds i guess..before the idea of taking one pill to remind me not to take another woulda been ridiculous but my best thimkin got me here in the first place so i put my pride aside and listen instead of talking for a change...cheers guys...
Avatar f tn And I'm guessing, it could put you into w/d. Are you trying to get clean?
