How To Take Suboxone At Home (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I have ten suboxones. I have been taking oxycontin for pain but want to try at home to w/d. I can't discuss this with my doctor as it will affect my insurance. This is a fact..in my case... Can someone on here tell me how to take my subs? I would appreciate any answers and no lectures. How many do I need to withdraw..Thanks so much.
No one pill will not fix you! You will need to taper.
Your going to feel pain. But it's pain or addiction.
Well first of all, whether they are subutex or suboxone, you need those "real opiates" to get out of your system. if you are still full of opiates and you take bupe, you will go into "precipitated withdrawals", which is the worst thing EVER. so you are gonna have to let yourself get a bit ill before you start. w/ opiates, i would say 24 hours, methadone 48 and i dont really know how long for pills but probably somewhere in between. you need to be feeling pretty crappy. i took subutex too soon after dope once and went into the w.ds ive ever had, like flipping OUT. (also dont believe anyone on here who says its ok to take subutex w.o. the naloxone right away b.c. its not true) and since you only have 64 mgs total of the bupe (thats the amount i took in 3 days when i was on bupe) well....i think you are just gonna drag it out longer if you take the bupe. i mean, you have to be in w.ds to start the bupe, then you will feel better for a few days taking the bupe, only to go back to w.ds when the bupe runs out. i just dont think you have enough bupe to make much difference. I mean 8 mgs wouldnt even have touched me. when i decreased the bupe, i went down 2 to 4 mgs at a time FROM 28 TO 32 MGS, so... can you get more bupe?
I take about 60mg a day of percs or dope, I'm over feeling trapped & broke:/ I got 8 8mg-mg - how much should I take first dose? & how many days do u wait to cut back thank you so much...
well, if you dont relapse, the rehabs lose a huge part of their customer base! to these people, you are not a "person with a life-threatening illness", you are a "customer". kinda sick, huh?
sorry, that comment was to someone else who has since removed their comments. you are fine.
What advice are u suggesting is so wrong?
Hi! I really need some advice. I have a child that needs my attention so I can't sleep through the w/d's. I have 4 8mg subs-- the under your tongue kind. My friend swears these are a miracle drug. I have tapered the past two days. (I take norco 5, lortab 10, and opana 30 <-- on occasion) I just need this to be over. I don't want to lose my family. I have the leg pain and headaches so I think I am about there. But I cannot get anymore of the subs so I need to do this right and be done. Any tips/advice would be great.
please stop dispensing "advice" because you are so wrong.
One thing I can tell you for certain is you need to be in full withdrawal before taking the sub. I would suggest at least 24 hours without any oxy. Otherwise you will have a very severe adverse reaction. I've been there.
Trust me do not take any amount of sub with
any amount of other opiate in your system. You may have to wait 24 hours after your last opiate intake but that is far better than the intense misery that comes from mixing opiates n sub.
You should divide those a 14 day regimen from experience at rehab i would do ad follows:
Day 1. 2
Day 2. 1 1/2
Day 3. 1 1/2
Day 4. 1
Day 5. 1
Day 6. 1/2
Day 7. 1/2
Day 8. 1/2
Day 9. 1/2
Day 10. 1/4
Day 11. 1/4
Day 12. 1/4
Day 13. 1/4
I have been on heavy doses of oxycontin(120 mg daily) plus 60 mg for breakthrough pain for nine months.After my surgery,my pain mgmt. doctor gave me suboxone ands clonidine.Shouldn't I be tapering down first?My health is not the best,I have a cardiac issue and high blood pressure.I fear for my life going into withdraw cold turkey.What should I do?
The relapse cycle is viscous! I was just reading about how halfway house owners and treatment center owners are actually aiding in the relapse process!!

Hi Helpme, No, one pill is not enough. Never take subs until your in wd. Wait about 16-18 hrs after you took your last DOC. If you don,t you chance getting very sick. Maybe you could try tapering down on your hydros. Theres allways the suboxone route but I,d save that for last resort if I were you. If your gonna take the one sub be sure to wait, then try to cut it into quarters and just take 1 quarter and wait an hr or two and see how you feel. If your still in wds take a little more. I still recommend tapering off the Norco and being done with it.
Hi I'm addicted to Norco alot will one pill fix me ..that's all I have
You don't have eoungh trust me make up your mind an do it or stay on pain meds it took me over a year just to stop thinking about pain meds
Hi I was wondering how long you had tostay on the sibs? Today Is my day 2. Yesterday I was in full blown withdraw and did one 8mg strip under the tongue.That was yeyesterday at 6 am. I wawaited 12 hours like they do at the clinic amd at 6pm took another 8mg strip. This morning I woke up feeling good so I cut one in half and did a 4mg strip. Im going to try to wait till 6pm to do the other 4mg. At the clinic they do subs for 4 days. I see people who have been taking them for years and i don't want to depend on nothing. Any info wpuld really help. My daily meds on a good day was 200mg morphine pill. All I do is swallow them. On ok day was 100mg. Ive been addicted for over 10 years im 26 with 2 kids and Just like everyone else want my life back. So please help me with any info.
This is correct. I have been in subs for 8 mo and attending regular three times a week iop classes plus substance and mental health counsling plus Aa or n.a. meeting s three times per week. Recovery is what the real medicine is. Suboxone just is able to keep ur head clean while you work the steps get a sponser and change ur way of thinking. Otherwise you ll be right back to square one.
I ve tried it. Several times on my own mught work for a lil bit but not in the long run.
YOU HAVE BEEN SO HELPFUL... Thank you so much!! I would like to converse with you more, will you plse guide me throught the process. I am so scared!!! But I want to be relieved of Oxy's (prescribed).... I had to print out your response bcuz it was so helpful. But your encouragement will definitely be needed for me. Will you email me? {edited for privacy}
