8mg Suboxone For 8 Years Taken With Methadone And Opioids

My friend was on 8mg of Suboxone for 8 years. Her doctor cut her back to 2.5mg on the last week and then cut her off due to Methadone use as well. My friend had taken pills during the duration of the Suboxone and also takes Methadone. What can I do to help her with withdrawal like symptoms, or what should I look for?

In this situation it sounds as though one of the best things you could do for your friend is assist her in seeking some sort of substance abuse treatment.

As far as symptom monitoring I would note anything indicative of w/d such as diarrhea, vomiting, insomnia, back pain, headache, irritability, restlessness, anxiety, sweating and the like. In her case I would also watch out for possible overdose should she get her hands on some drugs; pin-point pupils, shallow or no breathing, profound sedation, slurred speech, inability to wake a person. (ALWAYS CALL 911 IF OVERDOSE SUSPECTED)

Treat the symptoms... Phenalnalimine DL (supplement) restores your natural endorphins quicker so ur sick much shorter... Take it from someone with 40 years of personal experience...

Not sure how but suboxone takes methadone out of your system and puts u into the worst withdrawal possible. I know because I took a suboxone while on the 80mg of methadone that I've been on for years. And it almost killed me. I was in the worst withdrawal ever. They fight each other. It's the equivalent of using narcan. Not sure how they did it unless they weren't on methadone long.
