Avatar f tn I was presciberd suboxone from my orthopedic /pain mgmt. Drs. As a solution to not taking pain medication i have long tern bone desease i was not accepting of daily narcotics as a way of life.. Suboxone was suggestoed and prescribed as an alternative and described to me as a perfect solution as i would not feel any narcotic effects. I started 3 months ago and as i started to read up on what i was taking wanted off my dr. Suggested i stop reading stuff on the internet..
Avatar n tn would it be safer to ween off with pain pills? I am just worried about taking the suboxone because many people have said subutex is usually given to pregnant women because it has no naloxone in it... I am confused. Why do some people say it's ok to take suboxone while pregnant and some same it's really bad? You do work with this drug don't you?
478417 tn?1208547207 I am not familiar with taking suboxone but have read lots about it on here...it does have some pain relieving qualities in it as well...a friend of mine just had a surgery very similar to that and also had bunyuns shaved off of each foot...she did not end up taking even half of her 30 lortabs that was prescribed and did well with ibuprohen, heat and ice...
Avatar f tn has anyone ever taken or still taking suboxone for long term pain managment? if so..does it help? im over 2 months clean from an oc habit and i have legit pain but do not want to resort back to oc's....any advice would be greatly appreciated.......
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 m tn I've been taking Suboxone for months while taking some benzo's in between but mostly Suboxone.It's been weeks without taking any suboxone what so ever but I did take a Tramadol 50mg Sunday night but since then I haven't taken any Suboxone or Tramadol.I got to the point where I was taking 16mg of Suboxone a day until a few weeks ago when I was prescribed for Tramadol which I took about 75% of the prescription before quitting altogether.
Avatar f tn wow I will tell you this suboxone is NOT AT ALL FOR PAIN. I know I tried suboxone and I have true pain and it did nothing for my pain and I also know others that have tried also and same nothing for pain. He should have told you why switch if you ask me something is up and he thinks you have some kind of problem he the only doctor you go to....Something is not being told make no sense at all.
759515 tn?1240482732 Hi, Depending on who you ask , some say it has really helped them as far as pain control and that is if you can find a doctor who will prescibe them for pain control. There is a search box in the upper right hand corner for searching this community. Use it and you will see the results of some who have taken it for pain control and how it helped them individually. I can give you some site that have expanded information on it if you would like.
Avatar n tn My brother is on the liver transplant list and has been taking methadone for his pain. He was told that in order to receive a donor liver he would have to be totally clean. He was given sobaxin today at his doctors office and went into withdraws immediately. They called an ambulance and he is in the hospital barely clinging to life tonight.
522415 tn?1242937755 Neuro doc called in Suboxone for my pain. I have been diagnosed with FM & TMJ. They are thinking I have an autoimmune disease that is being overlooked with a sever sleep disorder, and possibly MS. I have been taking Tramadol and it's just not cutting it! Has anyone had any experience with Suboxone, good or bad? Does it work well on fairly severre pain? Thanks in advance for the advice and answers!
Avatar f tn I took Suboxone for 10 days to detox off of pain meds. I have been off of that as well as pain meds for almost 10 months now. How long will they be keeping him of the Sub?
Avatar m tn After recently finding out what withdrawal was I went through that for a couple days and thought I had the flu but after some research found out I was going through withdrawal from not taking my pain medication because I was not having any pain for a couple of days and that was the last pill I took of the oxycodone I never want to feel that feeling again.
Avatar f tn You do not need a special "license" to treat patients with suboxone for chronic pain. You do need a special "license" to treat patients with suboxone for opiate dependence. In order to treat addiction patients with suboxone, a doctor needs to complete an 8 hour class in addiction treatment and then they are granted a federal waiver in order or prescribe it for addiction treatment. A quick google search will tell you, or your doctor about this.
Avatar n tn detox, add suboxone, and add an anti-depressant. (I personally have been taking Paxil for 20+ years for depression. Can't function without it, but no major side effects either) We're hoping for the best......
Avatar n tn I've been taking suboxone and have run out. I have a bad toothache and have some vicodine, would that be effective until I get this tooth worked on. I will have my suboxone on Monday again.
Avatar f tn Your almost to term....you MUST tell your OB who is an obvious idiot for taking you off the pain meds cold turkey to begin with.
Avatar f tn Hello everyone! I have been taking suboxone for almost 2 years as well as xanax for extreme anxiety, I am now 20 weeks pregnant and I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing for my baby.
Avatar f tn I am a 38 yr. old female. I suffer from multiple migraines per day and fibromyalgia and severe lower back pain. I deal with the pain without the use of narcotics or opiates because I have a history of addiction to these substances as I have had migraines all my life. A common relapse issue for me is around pain management. It's a complicated subject. I take a lot of advil and muscle relaxers which do not kill all of the pain and this often leaves me depressed about the quality of my life...
Avatar m tn Ive heard of some people who use injections of buprenex which Id imagine is for quite severe pain, but suboxone isnt really designed for pain management more for getting off of opiates. Wish you all the best, look into as many different methods as possible, there are others out there that can replace opiates.
Avatar m tn Hello, I was taking four Vicodin es for seven years. I have been on suboxone 2 mg for over four years. I have tried to taper off and I have gone cold turkey for three days but I felt terrible and went back to suboxone. I work 70 hours a week and I have a family to support so going to a rehab is out of the question. I would love to get off this stuff and be free of it but I am afraid of going back to pills. How long can you stay on suboxone and what long term harm will it do?
15898092 tn?1443801134 My doctor wanted to put me on suboxone for pain relief but I decided it wasn't for me. I'm glad it helped you get off the oxy. I know people who tapered down to one 8th sub and came off it easy peasy. You are young, ( I read your profile). I'm 51 so my experience will most likely be worse than what you will experience. just try to stay positive and picture what normal means to you. Add me as a friend and pm me if you like.
