Suboxone overdose
Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone overdose
suboxone
However many individuals who start using it to treat their addiction, become addicted to the Suboxone itself. Suboxone has a high rate of illicit abuse.
Subutex, the product containing buprenorphine alone with no naloxone, creates a greater risk of misuse, abuse and diversion and many physicians are uncomfortable prescribing it. I hope this was helpful.
If someone take suboxone and they are not opiate dependent, then there is a much higher chance of an overdose. Suboxone is very strong, but is safer against abuse by addicts because of the ceiling effect - which is about at 32mg. You can't really take more and get a high from it - and it also has a lower chance of causing respiratory depression.
elvis - you asked about how long one must wait after taking methadone to take suboxone.
You are not goin to get high they have a ceiling effect, so if you take one you may feel a little pep for a min or two and if you take 20 more you will never get any more buzzed then the first one, and if you overdose it is not goin to be pretty and you very well could overdose and i really don't think you want that.kitty.
Nope, subs are for opiates not sedatives. Please don't take suboxone as you are opiate naive, you may overdose...and trade an addiction for another at best!
I have been taking Suboxone for 7 days and Im going back to my Doc in the A.M. and the sub is working but the taste is killing me! I also have headaches 24-7! My Doc says that it should pass in the 1st week but everyday they get worse! When Im coming down off it it fells like Im going to throw up and dizzy as hell but Im straving! So I eat and then I throw up! So I take my next dose and Im better! Just not liking the side affects! Can anyone tell me what the differace is??
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.
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.

it would be pointless to use heroine on suboxone because the suboxone blocks the high.. many people Overdose this way as they keep taking more and more trying to achieve the high that the sub is blocking..
However crack is a different animal all together and I imagine suboxone has zero effect on crack. If she is an addict and you suspect she is using, then she probably is.
As I understand it, Suboxone is recognized by the body in the same way opiates are. I have been told that if you take opiates while you are taking sub., you can die! (fatal respiratory arrest - you stop breathing basically). You should ask him point blank. If you still don't believe him; well, thats another issue all together. Best of luck!
s, bought some methadone, and was hospitalized from an overdose that nearly killed him. If it seems crazy to take suboxone to detox from methadone, and then to OD on methadone to get over the suboxone withdrawal, that's because it is crazy, but it is a very possible scenario. He didn't intend to OD, but after 11 months he had no sense of his tolerance and took too much.
I took 8mg of Suboxone and 2-3 tablets of Ultram for about 6-months. TODAY I decided that I'm going to be off this med in 2-weeks (on St Patricks Day I want to be clean). I have not been 100% in these 6-months, lazy and moody, it's time to be 100% clean of ALL drugs and start being myself again.
I HAVE TO DO IT THIS TIME - SO ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!!!
I have the luxury of working from my house and I have a nearby gym with a sauna as I heard a good aerobic workout and sweating helps.
Buprenorphine (Suboxone) was developed as an alternative to methadone that would be equally effective in treating opiate addiction but less likely to be abused. But Baltimore officials say that an underground market for the drug has developed, leading to "bupe" abuse and some deaths, the Baltimore Sun reported Dec. 16.
Unlike methadone, buprenorphine can be prescribed by individual doctors or group practices, not just distributed at treatment clinics.
I am a 33 year old woman who is currently in a Suboxone program. Before that, I was in a Methadone program for 4 years, at a dose of 130 mgs per day. I started the Suboxone in February. In June, I tested positive for Methadone. The doctor sent out the urine to be retested at a lab, and it was still positive. He dismissed this, and did not kick me out of the program. Now, in November, I tested positive again. I have not had any Methadone since February.
I have a 30 year old son who lives alone & is seriously addicted to opiates. He says that he usually takes lortabs
or somas. He has been to the er numerous times, usually because he was driving his vehicle & has gotten stopped. We sent him to rehab once, he left after 30 days & seems like after 2 weeks of being out of rehab things became worse. Now he says that he wants to quit (but won't go back to rehab) & has gotten some suboxone strips to help him.
