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.

Roxanne,
I'm assuming they're the 8mg pills. First, wait til you get your withdrawal symptoms from your last oxy. Then, take 1/4 of the 8mg pill. You'll be amazed how much just a little bit of suboxone will stop your withdrawals. Use as little as possible. If you crush it into a powder, then under tongue, it actually works faster, and you don't need as much for some reason. But keep a couple Sub's around for insurance. It stays in your system for 3 days, and you may think you're out of the woods, but you may get a w/d surprise after your time off. If you can go 5 days without anything you're off !

I was taking 80 mg oxy per day and 4 oxcodone for breakthru pain..I decided to first do a taper and it has been working. At this time I take a 5 in the a.m. 20 in the afternoon and 5 at night. I have been told by people that truly want to detox with sub..that you must go 2 days off of all the oxy and they you have to put your sub under your tongue and let it melt...I found most of my help on a site called topix..you can start a thread right away and get good advise as most people on there are doing the same as you..www.topix.com...really they were a big help to me...most of them will tell you to wait two days...good luck..i wish you had some time to taper first..but if you don't go to topix..also I googled and got so much informatrion...google how to use suboxone just experiement..the answers are out there for you...good luck...

Hi Sandra,
I'm wondering if you can tell me what your experience was with the 10 suboxones and your try and home detox. I am in the exact same situation. I have been taking about 150mg of oxy for about a year and have a long history of opiate abuse - I suffere withdrawals after about 4 hours. Anyway, I have taken a week off work starting this Saturday and have 10 suboxones to help me get through it. I want to make sure I do this right. I have attempted to get in to doctors in the local area but no doctors here are accepting new patients so I have to do this myself. I have been reading about suboxones for weeks and want to know what your experience was with the 10 that you had. I have 9 days off work and my goal is to be off of both the oxys and the subs by the time I go back. I would really appreciate any advice you give me on your experience and how best to utilize the subs and still taper off those at the same time. Anything you could tell me would be great. thanks.

Thank you for the information without a lecture..I appreciate it. I have a script for my pain meds and have been tapering. It's not easy because I am now feeling the pain..but I feel as if I have to try and live with it. The oxy is messing up my life. Thanks once again.

Suboxone contains a powerful opiate Buprenoprhine, with the agonist Naloxone. So, it can also put opiate users into withdrawals if it is not used carefully.
It should also only be used under a doctor's supervision.
Normally Suboxone is started at a dosage near what the person was taking in other opiates, this helps prevent the severe withdrawal symptoms, then it is slowly tapered, until the person can stop taking it all together, with minimal effects and end up drug free.
You can read more about it here:

You have to be off the oxycontin long enough to start feeling the withdrawals, THEN, and only then, you take the suboxone. I was on a high dose of hydrocodone, and just 2mg calmed me down. Make what you have last. Start with 2mg, if that doesn't help, take another 2mg. Just a little - it goes a long way.
