suboxone

Avatar m tn I do not believe that an OB/GYN is one of them. I have no personal experience with Suboxone but other members here do. They will be along to weigh in soon. Please give us more info about you and your situation. Take care!
Avatar f tn I have just recently been diagnosed with an unknown seizure disorder which left me with a stage 4 brain injury. I have Addison’s Disease, Sjogren’s, Raynaud’s, hypertension and blockages in my leg, right shoulder and left kidney. I have found that if your med list contains opioids they will not treat you the same. I had to find a new neurologist due to this.
Avatar f tn I just know I got on Suboxone to stop the other opiates as soon as I tried hydrocodone/notco for sub withdrawal relief I wanted more and more ...which Suboxone never did for me and then ...
610505 tn?1329603723 It wont work ...I hope someone isn't taking opiates while on sub it defeats the purpose .
210982 tn?1280983895 My question is this...does Suboxone make you high if you take too many? Can you mix Suboxone with other pain meds and if so what will happen? What happens if you mix Suboxone with alcohol? My friend said that her sister and her mom got into an argument and her sister said, "Fine, me and Haley and Kelsy and Kassidy will just go to bed!" Well Kassidy isn't even on this trip. Then my friend went in to talk to her sister and her sister said Haley is about to go to bed...
Avatar m tn I take Suboxone for pain due to too many past problems with addiction. I'm wondering If I could take Trammadol at night, long after I have taken my last dose of Suboxone? Since Trammadol is NOT an opiate, would there be any adverse effects? I've read some questions and answers in this forum and people are talking about Trammadol as it is a Opioid, which it IS NOT! Anyone who is in the know on this question know any answers to this?
Avatar n tn Anti-inflammatory medications in conjunction with other forms of non-opiate pain management DO work for many people, and I truly hope that you will find an alternative to your pain management other than opiates. They really mess up your body's chemistry/balance!! You can do this!! I suffer from MS and experience severe bouts of pain. After my Norco dependence, was changed to Methadone x 7 year. I noticed the pain surging back while coming off of methadone.
Avatar m tn How much suboxone are you taking ? Did you take 12 hrs into W/D ? Usually while going through W/D suboxone is given and after 1 hr you feel better. Then after a period of time you will begin to taper off slowly eventually to none with minor W/D or so they say. I am currently on 2mg a day (my Dr. wants me taking 16mg daily) soon I will go to 1 1/2mg. I was very depressed and started taking SAM-E & 5HTP along with additional herbs to help sleep.
Avatar n tn I didn't stop to think about the legality of providing answers to that question, but it does make sense. I do apologize for putting anyone on the spot, so I'll withdraw the request for advice for a taper plan and keep it generally focused. Vicki, the "electrical storm" I refer to is pain. Not excruciating (it can be, but very rare) - just constant and annoying. I was in a bad accident - broke my neck in two places and my back in four, among other things.
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?
947931 tn?1251495088 re not using other types of opiates---whereas other more generic tests like home tests and such just test positive no matter what type of opiate you've used)
Avatar n tn I was also addicted to pain killers and started taking methadone to get off em. Once u start takin it, it is soooooooooo hard to get off of it!!! I would recommend taking Suboxone instead to get off percs. It's safer and easier to get off of. I mean, methadone does work but it makes u tired, sweatty and it makes u gain wieght. I have a few friends who went on Suboxone and none of that happened. They all say it works too! Good Luck 2 U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avatar n tn Suboxone is a medication used to prevent withdrawal symptoms in drug addiction treatment and to prevent relapse. In chronic pain patients without a history of misuse/abuse/addiction - Suboxone can be used for a few days to manage withdrawal symptoms while stopping opiates- it is typically dosed very low in these situations because a typical chronic pain patient choosing to get off opiates does not need higher doses or be on the medication longer than a few days.
Avatar m tn are subutex and suboxone identical...i thought suboxone was the one with the naloxone in it....it is not recommended to take either while on meds like oxy...
Avatar m tn This is going to sound odd and against what the advice is when starting suboxone, however I am wondering if anyone has taken suboxone early on purpose in order to basically put yourself into precipitated withdrawals and shorten the total amount time it takes to detox?
Avatar f tn Just about the only way for sub to be a successful alternative to getting off of other opiates is to work a recovery program. Suboxone isn't some magic pill to get you off of opiates. It's a whole program.
15898092 tn?1443801134 I just quit taking suboxone, its day 2 without any at all, I don't feel real good but I know I don't feel normal. I was on a quarter a day and the quit. How long will the withdrawl's last? How long will I be sick for?
Avatar n tn 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.
1331083 tn?1285912354 The buprenorphine in suboxone will also displace and block opiates from working properly.Dont start getting a habit with opiates and then take suboxone or you may go into precipitated withdrawal and its terrible...iv'e done it.I know its difficult,sweetheart,and most of the time we are missing and chasing that buzz,but you should give the suboxone a chance,just forget the opiates,and you will get a certain balance in your life.
Avatar n tn m just advising on the difference b/w methadone and other opiates, particuarly as pregnant women are at high risk of fetal complications if they use other opiates (abuse other opiates) while pregnant.
193953 tn?1272075026 When I first went to Pain Management my doctor put me on Subutex but the insurance would not pay for it. With Suboxone, if you take more opiates, they say you will go into immediate and extremely nasty withdrawals. I can't even have a beer while on Suboxone because it makes me sick the next day.
Avatar m tn It also has another component that will not let other opiates absorb into the brain and will make you sick if you do so, so Suboxone cannot be combined with any other opiate drugs.
