How To Take Suboxone At Home (Page 7)
(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 have been addicted to pain killers for about 4 years total and 30 mg percs (aka blues) for about a year now. taking them very heavily the past 5 months. I was at 300 mg a day just to feel like living. I thought the 24 hours wait would be harder than it was. granted all the other times I tried I couldnt do it. this morning was my first day on subs. they do work, I still feel s***ty and want the opiate high, but the subs do take away the sweats and the pain. I only have 6, I just pray that its enough. But I am ready to be off opiates for the rest of my life, so if the 6 dont do it, i will go to my doctor for I dont care if I am flagged and never allowed to touch them again, its for the best. Everyone should be proud of themselves for doing it on their own, yes its the hardest thing you will ever do but in the end, youll have money and your life back...I have an amazing husband who I confessed my addiction to in Novemeber, I wanted to quit and he thinks I did, but it was just too hard, I have felt like total scum since (lying, taking money from our savings, etc.) so not only am i doing this for me, but for him, because not everybody is as lucky as me to have a husband like him...

I have been addicted to opiates for a very long time, probably about 2 years now. i have a bunch of suboxone and am just wondering about the 12 hour thing... do u really have to wait 12 hours after your last opiate use if u dont does it make withdrawls worse>? thanks

For those who want to listen, about 11 months ago I detoxed off of 30mg-60mg. doses, a day, of percocet using suboxone. I used subs for 12 days, first day dosing with 4mg. and slowly tapering down for the next 12 days, on the 12th. day I woke up with no pain w/d's and felt great so i left the subs alone. Lone and behold though I went through a rough patch in my life about 2 months after being clean and began using again, more than ever before. So here I sit, day one of subs and I must say they are a miracle, all the w/d's are gone and I only plan on using them for 12 days because the percocet's only stay in your system I believe for 7-8 days, by doing 12 days it allows me a bit of a buffer zone. Everyone give me your opinions, please I know how bad it sucks to be wasting all your money and resources just keep yourself normal everyday

I havent read anyone trying to detox off of herion on this forum as am I? I got a prescription and I ve just been nervous about taking the leap over to subs,I know their the miracle pills but my main two concerns are 1) Doctors tell you wait 24 hours or wait till in withdraw before you Take your first pill or you may go into full blown hell withdraw if you take it earlier and Ive seen it happen to myself and other friends who waited and still people got sick. waiting 14 , 18 , 24 hrs. and my 2nd concern is there are alot of doctors that recommend you take them like a maintence drug for a bout a year , that if you try to come off from whatever your choice of drug was to trying to just detoxing at home real quick like a 5 to 7 day period that chance of relapse is very likely. everyone wants to be done with everything, but the truth is ask yourself if you been getting high for 5 years using opiates whats a year on suboxone, its more subtle and a better chance of recovery, I agree with the theory but I dont want to be on subs either. Id rather try to detox from dope to subs in say a 5-7 daty period then done. esentially if I do it the other route for a year i'll just be hooked on subs then i'll have to wean off them. I want to just man up and be done with this crap. Any advice? I'll need it. Opiates ruined my life. its either this or I may as well as end it , this is no way to live

I have to say one thing I haven't heard anyone admit....SUBOXONE tastes awwwwwwfulllllll! Pill form, or film form----YUCK! lol Okay, I just had to get that out. Anyway....suboxone is a miracle drug and even though it tastes terrible, it is definitely worth it. I took my first 8mg tablet and I couldn't believe how fast it worked. I felt great, and didn't even think about trying to find some norco, which is what I would've spent my whole morning doing had it not been for the sub. Okay, I added my 2 cents----I hope and pray you all are doing well, and remember this: we are all addicts, its not something we enjoy being, its not something we want to proudly share....but we are human and make mistakes. So for those of you that do relapse occasionally, don't beat yourselves up about it----tomorrow is another day to start over. God bless all of you and take care---- Spice06

I just stopped taking 4 Roxicet 30mg per day. I wanted to say how helpful reading all your stories was. I was very skeptical about the Suboxone. But This is week 2 and it works. I treally worked. I was told to wait 12-24 hours, and I tried so hard to make it to 14...at hour 14 I was shaking in fear that I wouldn't be able to do it, but I took a film 8/2mg and cut it in half...and put 1/2 under each side. IT WORKED> i was so proud and so happy. I bought these from the same person I get my roxi's from (ironic I know) but it worked and I have a whole host of issues that could have de-railed this. (Bi-Polar, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia...) PLEASE!! accept my THANK YOU!! reading this got me to this point and I will update after I stop the Sub's...I am only taking 1/2 a film every other day now..so much easier than stopping the roxi...although I keep tensing up waiting for the sub to wear off so far it has not...my pain is ok too.

so i need some help. me and my husband have gotten addicted to pain pills in the last 1 1/2 yrs or so..it started with a friend that was prescibed opanas for herniated disks in his back and we decided to try them..our pill of choice is now blues (30mg oxy) or equivilent..for me i normally do about 2 pills a days just to be me and my husband around 4/5..on a good day when we have them obvioulsy we do more...its a problem now, i don't want to depend on these things, we are always broke bc we have to buy then off of the street, and most of the time we don't even have them and feel like crap. we do however have about 10 subs that we used in between not having blues. i have to say that they are great. make you feel great and no cravings. i want to be done with blues tho and i took about 2 weeks off of work between xmas and new years. i did read some places that i can use the sub to detox for a few days and taper within those days. the longest ive gone without a blue would have to be about 18 hrs then i always have to do something so cold turkey is not going to work. im not strong enough to do it. is it possible that i can use the subs to detox for a few days then just be done? when i do the subs between blues i can only use about 1-2mg or i get sick (dizzy, puke, etc). so im wondering if i can do 2mg 2xs a days for two days 1mg 2xs a day for 2 days and so on until its nothing. any info would help me big time i want to be done with these things by the new year and i want my life back! please help

Oh yeah, I forgot to say,when I went to the clinic, I was in w/d so bad, I felt like I was going to die! I was sweating, stomach in knots, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, body aches, and was scared really to take it bc I had heard some bad stuff about them. At the clinic where I go, they induce you, so she gave me one 8mg pill and Iet it dissolve, and then she came back in and gave me another. The first one helped me a lot but the second one took the w/d away totally and I can proudly say, that was the last day that I have felt the terrible pain of w/d!! I will help anyone that I can, so feel free to ask!!:)

I'm going to tell you all my personal experience with being addicted to pain pills and going to a clinic and being given Suboxone 4xday. I was addicted to pain pills very bad, and I wanted my life back so I went to a clinic, and they drug tested me, I told them that I could take anywhere from 10 or more lorcets 10mg or stronger or weaker stuff just w/e was available. You do have to be 12 hours in w/d or it will make you sick. I was told to take the 4 how ever I wanted them( at the same time, one pill 4x) and I have always taken one in the morning, mid day, and so on. I have been clean of pain pills for over a year now and am slowly tapering off the suboxone when I feel ready to go down. You do dissolve them under your tounge, I was told to break one in half, and put each peice on both sides under your tounge. The Suboxone are great, and have given me my life back! I hope you all Get your life back too!!!

I am currently on 30-40 norcos a day & really need to get off these, will subs really help someone as bad as me? I've been addicted for about 5 yrs not this many gradually been going up, & I feel a lot of mine is mental more then anything, PLZ no lecturing because I already no I'm an idiot for being this bad, but now it is time to stop. I can't tell my Dr. how many I actually take I'm afraid he would kick me right out.

i too am trying to detox from oxy. i was doing about 30-40 mg a day and tried to taper down to about 15-20 mg in the last week. i went 48 hours and relapsed with about 10mg oxy :(... so the next day i was just as messed up again and on day one. that night i couldnt take it and took half of a 10/325 norco (5 mg hydrocodone) to fall asleep. now im about 16 hours from my last relapse and it was only a very small amount. i have a N8 suboxone pill and was told to break it into 4 peices and it will help... is this true? will i just have the same symptoms that i do right now when i quit taking the suboxone? plz help i dont know why but my withdrawals are very very painful for some reason. i need a good honest answer, thank you.
