How To Take Suboxone At Home (Page 4) (Top voted 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.

im taking subs now and my doc told me to wait till im w/d and take half of an 8mg film strip. felt so much better instantly after being so hurting from w/d. I guess take 2 halves a day for 2 days then cut that in half for 2 days and so on till you can cope without anything. its a process but better than being a slave to F*ing opiates

I totally agree I came on here to get clean not try new cocktails!!! anyway thank you for the post today is my 1st day with subs I only have one 8mg strip that a friend gave me to help me with my w/d I'm going to the dr. 2mrw to get my own script but is this just leaving one addiction for another??? and is it really possible to do detox @ home I have a small child that is in school and no family or friends that i trust to take care of her for 28 days. thank you in advance... the other thing is I've cut the strip in to 1/4's and i've taken 2 of them but i'm still achy all over and just feel horrible!!!

i dont know what u guys on here have been told but subs should not be used as a maintanance drug over a long period. it has bad wds if u use them over a long period, i was on them for 2 years and couldnt get off them. they should only be used as a detox drug over a max of a month. if u look hard enough u will find the truth on the internet. ive read things from docs that say u should not use it for long periods. do a taper from 8 mgs to at least 1 mgs in a period of about 2 weeks is the best.

Sometimes it can be a little complicated because people who are on subs like myself don't realize that they are addicted to it but not like extreme as pills and dope. I was doing dope for years so I'll tell you what I did. It can go either way, start off with a quarter or a half but honestly I would if I was you just try to take a little but at a time because your using a a sub as a crutch so you don't want to get addicted to them...id say like maybe 2 weeks, everyone is diff but once your done withdrawing from the pills n your out of subs it won't be that bad. I've been on subs for 2 years n the only reason I take it still is because in the morning I need that boost like energy n when I go as long as I can from not taking anything my back will hurt a little bit but it's really nothing. You just need to find what is comfortable for you n see what happens. Good luck

Make sure your well into your wd, wait at least 12 hrs. since your last dose of oxy. It doesn,t take much to be affective. Sit down, place under tounge, close mouth, tilt head forward, this helps to not swallow. Sit quietly for 5 mins. Spit or swallow. Do not drink, eat or smoke for another 5 mins. These are instrs. sub. dr. gave me. You could try 2-4 mgs. like I said, it don,t take much. Take at same time each day. If you felt allright on lets say 4mg. in a couple days try 3 and taper down. I,M NOT A DR. and you really should be under a drs. care when going through this. Sorry, I had to say that. Good luck.

Kimber, you cant take anything before you take a sub otherwise you will be REALLY SICK! my method of getting off my pills(roxys blue 30s) is take my last pill at 7 to 8pm and sleep as much as possible then wait about 15-18 hours to take the sub. but i sniff mine (pills) and they are Instant release so they last only a few hours in my system. Dont take any opiates prior to taking subs or you will find out the hard way

You HAVE TO wait till u feel the w/d symptoms first! Otherwise u WILL go into RAPID DETOX. Which means if u use* without waiting til u feel w/d symptoms then u'll go from feeling fine then w/in -30min u will feel like DYING! U'll be hot, then cold, then u'll want to shower from all the sweat, then jump out hotter then when u got into the shower, u'll want to rip ur hair out, then u'll tell try to tell ur mind to calm down, BUT NOTHING seems to help. U go from not w/d to the 3rd day of w/d (which the 3rd day is the worst) in a matter of minutes. PLEASE take my advice & wait til u feel the w/d. Then only take a 1/4 or less crushed up under ur tounge. Then only take it for up to 4 days, & be done with the addiction & no w/d's ( except the day or day 1/2 of w/ds b4 ur 1st sub) Google how long to wait b4 taking a suboxone. There's a chart for all different drugs (oxy, pec's, vic's, methadone, ect..) & how long to wait.

You HAVE TO wait till u feel the w/d symptoms first! Otherwise u WILL go into RAPID DETOX. Suboxone shakes all the opiates off your receptors, similar to a apple tree; the branches,(your receptors) with dangling apples, (the opiates) being blown by 200 mile winds, (Suboxone) would shake the apples off the branches... This will only happen if u don't wait for ur w/d symptoms to start.
Which means if u use (opiates) then try to take a Sub without waiting til u feel w/d symptoms then u'll go from feeling fine then w/in -30min u will feel like DYING! U'll be hot, then cold, then u'll want to shower from all the sweat, then jump out hotter then when u got into the shower, u'll want to rip ur hair out, then u'll tell try to tell ur mind to calm down, BUT NOTHING seems to help. U go from no w/d symptoms- all the way to feeling like it's the 3rd day of w/d (which the 3rd day is the worst) in a matter of minutes. PLEASE take my advice & wait til u feel the w/d symptoms... Then only take a 1/4 or less crushed up under ur tounge. Then only take it for up to 4 days & be done with the addiction problem w/ no w/d's ( except the day or day 1/2 of w/ds b4 ur 1st sub) Google how long to wait b4 taking a suboxone. There's a chart for all different drugs (oxy, pec's, vic's, methadone, ect..) & how long to wait.
I really hope my experience & advice helps someone.

Here's some really good information from a former addict.. I would go out and buy 10 subs on the street if you go to the doctor they're just going to over due it and then your going to have a new addiction to subs.. The trick is your not trying to get messed up off them just trying to keep your mind off opiates. I did one the first day in the morning and a half at night. Then each day after that you slowly ween yourself off I was doing 3-4 Oxys a day for 3 years and after 7 days of subs I was able to completely stop withdrawal free. I keep two at my house just in case I ever get any temptation and it completely changes my mind. I hope this helps:) I deffientely am a lot happier and healthier and I thought I would never be able to stop because I was "in pain" but in all actuality it was the Oxys that were making me in pain. Good luck!

I have been using heroin for about six months now. I do a big every day between me and my bf. I smoke it only. I need to know how many subs I am going to need to detox.

I think you will need a little more time than 1 week to do this!8 or 10 subs is not going to do the trick,you need to build the suboxone in your system and get stable first and then taper down.Been through this a lot takes more than a few subs ans a week off work!!!!

u can def do that with 10 8mg subs
1st 3days are bad for me but each day gets better by day 3 im almost out of the dark not sure how much opiates u were doing the amount u were takin plays a big factor on dosage decisions my d0c was roxy30mg 10a day sometimes more.the way i do it 1st day take 8mg in am 8mg pm
2nd day 8mg am 4mg pm by day 3 u will be feeling good because the suboxones are finally built up in ur sytem u should be able to take 4mg am 4mg pm dibr guve uo on day 3 because u are gonna feel perfect no withdrawl its weird but continue tapering lower until ur done u can play with ur dosages some ppl take subs on day 1 and feel perfect wish i was one of those but im not lucky any questions hit me up ps the 1st 3 days are worst after u get passed there u pretty much out the woods but if ur feeling crappy take more the 1st 3days after the u just have to ration out the rest which wont be to bad because suboxone last 3days in ur body as for me 1st day just sux wish i could just sleep ot off
