How To Take Suboxone At Home (Page 5)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

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.

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.

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!!!

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

My husband got him self addicted to oxy's and i am trying to find subs currently and plan ahead on how to start and finish them. I have read all the forums above and appreciate all the input. I see how to start but how do i start to lower the dose of subs once i ease the pain in the beginning..
i understand that i need to wait 12 hours for the symptoms to begin.. then give him 1/4 pill wait 30 mins if he doesnt feel better give him another 1/4 pill and then once i get him to an acceptable amount... when day two starts how do i go lower. instead of a 1/4 pill 4 times a day... then what?

I am on suboxone, have been for 5 months and so want off, I take a quarter of one a day, my doctor had me on methadone, and kept increasing it, I am now hooked on subs, I am currently in an anatomy class and I think there has to be a way, exersize I think is a big thing and also try and get some sammy at the health food store, its strong mood enhancer but its all natural, If I find answer I will put on here

I am a former heroin addict and I am now on subs. Im prescribed 2 8gm subs a day but I don't take that much. You will need to start going thru withdrawals first. Don't worry you won't have to wait every long. Do you plan on staying on subs or just to help you get off the pills? If not if I was you I would start out with a half a sub and just try taking pieces of quarters here and there, if you've been taking pills for awhile you might need to take a little more at first but I would only do that for a day or two and then try to bring yourself down. Your gonns be a little uncomfortable at first but just try to do something to take your mind off of it. I'm gonna be getting off subs soon because I feel as if I'm ready and I just hate that I have to take a pill every single day. Good luck!

You must wait until you are having w/d symptoms. Do NOT make the mistake of taking subs before then. I made that mistake "thinking" I was not feeling well. That was a nightmare! If one waits until w/d, the medicine will work very well. Tapper of the subs over 5 to 7 days. That means starting with 8 mg for two days, 4 mg for a day or two, then down to 2mg for a day, 1 mg for a day or two. Then stop. Wait for a day or so then take another 1 mg. You should be OK. Your always going to have some discomfort, but not too bad. Good luck!

Thank you for your responce i believe the same thing the people who use sub to just be able to stay on all the other stuff should not be given advice to new patients who really want to turn their life around and get off the (oxys,roxys,and etc...But given them directions to continue using their drug of choice is ur choice of living an active addicted life.their are real people dying everyday from these opiates , Dont ruin someones real chance of soberity by giving recipes for taking and mixing medications ,its ok to give ur opinion but u should never play Russian Roulette with someelses life.

I'm up to about 10 10/325s a day, maybe more if I have them on hand. I hate it! I want to use just one sub to ween myself off. How should I do this?

Me and my girl are trying to get off of oxy's. I have 4 1/2 subs and told that would be plenty since we do 40-80 Mgs daily.....is this true and is 16 hrs long enough to wait before first 2mg dose of sub? We are scared to reverse the effects and be even worse off. Our lives are wrecked And need help but have no insurance and can't afford a consult w a doc. Can someone please help us!?!?!?!?

hello to all.i have just spent about 1 hour reading this entire thread, and i have to say there is soooo much that needs to be clarified.many people here and on other sites are genuinely looking for advice about suboxone and subutex.hell even the people wanting to use it recreationally,i am here to help.i have many years experience with almost every opiate under the sun,and i have studied the ins and outs of them.not sure where to start so i guess....first off buprenophine is what will cause the precipitated w/ by kicking all other opiates off your recepters and slowly filling them.the naloxone is there as a deterant. it doesnt really come in to play unless you want to shoot or snort it and even then you need to take more than 4mg for it to make you even a little sick.it is a long explanation as to why.as for sub induction (first dose of sub),it depends on what you have been taking.oxycontin because of the time release has a half life of around 12 hours.oxycontin crushed or with the coating removed is 6 hours(also any other form of oxycodone ir).heroin is 4-8 and methadone is 36 hours.now,all of that really isnt that relevant people just seem to be interested.what is relevant is your withdrawal symptoms.when you feel your last symptom comming on it is 100% safe to take your sub.by that i mean everyones withdrawal is different.i would start with my eyes watering then light sneezing.next back pains and sneezing getting worse.then nausea, cold sweats,crap pains and everything else getting worse.finally after pooping 1 or 2 solids, the diareah starts along with the rest getting worse.that is when i would take my sub(usually 16-20 hours after my last opiate).and i do 2mg every hour as i deem necessary.i have done this 6 times now and it always works perfectly.the last time i had been using for 3 months and was up to 480mgs oxycodone each day.(and for the people who dont know oxycodone is oxycontin,roxy,percocet,endocet,etc.they are company names and different amounts of mgs).even at 480mgs a day i was able to completely kick in 5 days with 2 8mg subs and ABSOLUTELY NO WITHDRAWAL.as a matter of fact i even felt a little buzz the first day.if done correctly you can make yourself an opiate virgin in just 10 days.5 day painless detox with sub then 5 days more without opiates and you will be once again be an opiate virgin.the first day i go back to opiates i can get completely obliterated from just 1 roxy 30.its just up to you to not let yourself get out of hand again. ive really studied and tested every aspect of subs (other than shooting)to the point where its a joke when reading posts from doctors or listening to anything a doctor has to say.anyway id be glad to help anyone in anyway i can so just let me know.

YES!!! You do have to wait 12 hours or youcould be really sick! What I do is take a pain pill (whatever your flavor) at around 7pm and then go to sleep. When I wake up inthe am around 7am it has been 12 hours and I can start the Sub. Its the easiestand bestway to do it.

im seeing online that alot of people are already trin to do the suboxene treatment themselves and buying it of the street please don't f*** this up for those of us who want to do this right for #1 buying it off the street is strong addict behavior i know i am a addict......one addict cant fool another no what i mean........i would be very carful with suboxone it is a powerful drug just like methadone comming from a addict who wants to help myself the honest way it concerns me because next people will start losing there lives experimenting with this drug suboxone....come on people u know that addicts a smarter than the normal person and if u are a true addict u know that we cant manage any drug by ourselves and thats just the cold hard fact that has to be accepted.....ADDICTION IS NOT A PART TIME JOB ITS FOR LIFE............DONT U WANT TO KEEP YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is in your medical records forever. I pay for medical insurence out of pocket, as my hubby is a small business owner. Taking 3 roxies a day and stated sub yesterday. Took 1/3 twice of 8/2mg strip yesterday and feel great.Took another third this morning and it's doing the trick. Able to buy a few strips. Very hopeful as I want my life back for my hubby and kid.
