Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone withdrawal opioid

suboxone

Avatar n tn It is my understanding that you have to only wait a short time w/ subtext, not like with suboxone where you must wait till you are heavy into withdrawal. And the only reason you should wait with subtext is because it can be dangerous to taking it with other narcotics because of respiratory depression and such.
Avatar n tn are you possibly talking about Suboxone? If so, it is used for Opioid addiction. Used to treat addiction to narcotic medications. If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know.
Avatar m tn Realize that opioid dependence is a lifelong condition for the vast majority of people. My opinion is just that-- my opinion-- but it is based on my own 20 years as a recovering opioid addict, and my experience treating several hundred people with buprenorphine over the past 6 years. I see many people who follow a certain pattern-- they are addicted to opioids and lose everything, then they go on buprenorphine and get their lives back....
Avatar n tn The nalaxone is intended to put a person into opioid withdrawal like symptoms if they take another kind of opioid. In other words, taking the percocet can actually cause withdrawal like symptoms if you have used suboxone within the last 4 - 5 days. Because you are on a low dose of suboxone, I hope the side effects aren't too bad. Best of luck!
3160774 tn?1343705010 No more withdrawal. Methadone is a long acting opioid, so I reached about a 25 on the COWS scale, longer than necessary. I waited until I had every symptom before induction. I probably would have been fine at 48hrs, but was only going to do it once. Good luck.
Avatar m tn atonicat is right. While taking Suboxone, any other opiates you take just don't have any brain receptors to cling to so there's no point in taking the tramadol. I can't imagine tramadol would do any good for your migraines anyway. I'm also surprised any doctor would prescribe an opiate while you're taking Suboxone. Do any of the triptan meds help your migraines?
Avatar m tn In my experience, every time you consume an opiate through the withdrawal you are prolonging the discomfort. Withdrawal is the opioids coming off the receptors...Once you ingest an opioid you will be delaying this natural process. I hope this will help you.
986593 tn?1283532211 I would read the posts on this site about suboxone withdrawal. I have seen many people report that the sub withdrawal was worse than the drug of choice I was on hydro and oxy for many years. I used valium for the first few days and clonidine or another sleeping aide cant remember now for about 5 days. It did take the edge off quite a bit. But withdrawal isn't painless for sure.
Avatar f tn The standard of care for opioid dependent pregnant women is to use methadone or buprenorphine (Suboxone). BUT I would NOT recommend either in your case, as the dose of opioid you are taking is MUCH lower than the effects of buprenorphine. In fact, taking Suboxone would be like taking 15 or more Vicodin (hydrocodone) tablets per day!
Avatar f tn But, if after 2 years those other receptors have supposedly been working on their own again, then why do people feel worse withdrawal even when coming off Suboxone very slowly? Is the Mu receptor itself strong enough that when depleted, it causes more pain than the other receptors combined? This is all so strange to me.
Avatar m tn there is info on the suboxone web sight... with a short acting opioid like norco and loratab you can take it when they wear off... when you are in moderate wds... if you have an opioid on your receptors the sub will knock it off immediately and put you into precipitated withdrawals... you have to have NO opioid narcotics on your receptors; hence wds... when you take the sub after your wds begin it will take them away and also take the cravings away...
Avatar f tn Is getting on Suboxone an effective way of getting off Methadone? If so, does it have any side effects and/or withdrawal symtoms?
Avatar f tn hello everyone.. whenever I've ever needed help or positive words I always checked this site.. for the first time today I created an account.. anyone will any help would be MUCH appreciated.. :) I began taking blues (roxicet) 30mg one at night every day or so in August 2010.. stopping for a few days or week at most.. in Sept 2011 I began taking much more.. by Oct/Nov I was doing 4 or 5 30mg & now all day long from the moment I woke up.. the number would go up to 7..
1141981 tn?1261076243 I could not find anything about class actions suits against it but here In October 2002, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved buprenorphine monotherapy product, Subutex®, and a buprenorphine/naloxone combination product, Suboxone®, for use in opioid addiction treatment. The combination product is designed to decrease the potential for abuse by injection.
Avatar f tn I started taking suboxone I got off the street, and I didn't wait to be in withdrawal before I started I took my last opiat at night and started on 8 mg in the morning, this is day 7 of me taking them I cut down on day 3 to 2mg twice a day for 2 days now I'm down to 1 mg a day, but I have really bad anxiety and can't sleep. I know I shouldn't have done it this way without a Dr, but I was afraid my job would find out through my insurance, and I would loose my job.
Avatar m tn my bf and i both wd at the same time- he straight from oxys- me straight from suboxone. My withdrawal lasted days longer than his and had different symptoms. I was soooo weak for days- where as his lasted 4 days and then was over. He had more of the chills/sweats than I had.
Avatar f tn m judging in anyway but you need to get on suboxone or subutex the worse thing you could do for that baby is withdrawal in any way specially if you are stopping caffeine, nicotine and opioid all at once. Just make sure no one puts you on methadone because the baby will withdrawal from that when born a lot of people will disagree with the suboxone or subutex treatment but do some research on it before you believe judgemental people. I really hope I have helped good luck.
Avatar m tn Buprenorphine alone and the combination of buprenorphine and naloxone prevent withdrawal symptoms when someone stops taking opioid drugs by producing similar effects to these drugs. You put it under your tounge. Junkies die from attempting to inject this drug. Do EXACTLY what your doctor says in reguards to this medication if you choose to take it. My opinion, as for Opioids cold turkey is your quickest recovery. I would never waste my time or increase my misery with suboxone.
Avatar f tn Suppose wait like 72 hours befire taking opioid with suboxone cause you withdrawl a day or so cause of the blocker but tramadol isint really a narcotic and I've took those plenty times ontop my sub when I used them it didn't bother me like oxys WILL but sub is I like methadone you can't start back over from day one while your off the drug compleyly how many days are you off of it?!
542867 tn?1214172629 Okay, let me clear this up for you guys. I use 400mg of oxycodone a day for the last 3 years (prescribed). I'm in severe chronic pain (and now withdrawal). I just took 12mg of Lopermide (The active ingredient in Immodium AD) and it greatly inhibited my opiate withdrawal (about 70%), and withdrawal I describe as the worst possible feeling in existence. I feel incredibly better 30minutes after taking it.
