Hey I'm starting suboxon on May 9th..im 21....I've been abusing pain killers and heroin since I was 14..my question is for anybody who wants to answer it. What will happen on the day of my appointment? how much do they prescribe? I've been taking one to two a day already.

So what's the solution to being allergic? Because I have tried both... head between my legs for days afterwards.... I can't handle neither, so what then will the doc do?

Hello, I am in Columbus OH and every doc here prescribes the suboxone strips. I have tried this three times. I ended up in reverse withdrawal and it was the 5 worst days of my life. The doc says "wait it out". Nearly impossible. I went to rehab in Florida and was given subutex tablets which worked wonders. I can not get a doc here to prescribe subutex at all!!

I've been on Subutex for almost two years and just found out prolonged use of this particular drug can and will cause numbing in the hands and feet do to it killing nerve endings in your hands and feet. Its more common in women more so then men. Anybody taking it starting to notice numb hands and or feet first thing in the morning? Noticing major swelling problems? This is due to taking the subutex. It causes something like what's commonly referred to as limp hand. This is serious. If your in treatment for the RIGHT REASON, try to get a tapper plan and get off it. Think I'm joking, consult your pharmacy technician.

Sadly I was abusing suboxone and subutex intravenously for years. Nothing different in the two except that I would have much rather had subutex when I did it.

Hey , I don't know if you have tried to get off methadone but last time in rehab I saw about 30% of opiate dependencies that fail are from methadone. I wouldn't recommend methadone on a post that's asking for a way to get subutex instead of suboxone. Methadone CAN get you high too by the way, subutex can too if both are abused that is. So your points are invalid.

That is completely wrong. Subutex is buprenorphine, the naltrexone in the suboxone is what makes you sick if u take it with any opiates, it's a derivative of narcon. That's why every one wants the subutex.

I have been taking subutex for five years now - I cannot take Suboxone as the naltrxone makes me very ill. Find a good doc who understands and will let you stay on Subutex. It can be done and it works very well.

Maybe since you're taking less Suboxone than you were before, you're having slight withdrawal effects?

I would love to have your help in finally getting treating. I am a very intelligent young man of 24 who has had opiate problem/addiction since 16-17. I graduated highschool with a 3.9 GPA and and currently finishing my last semester in college for a BSBA: majoring in business management/marketing, and possibly pertaining journalism as well. I've never been in trouble with law (drug rellated). I've been very lucky but I am Battling depression due to not living up to my potential and disappointing my family and close friends.

Change doctors immediately. That is what I would do for sure - I cannot take Suboxone at al - have same - nausea - headaches, depression and all sorts of stuff. Told my new doc this (new back in the day - with him now 61/2 years) and he said, "Well, if the subutex works and does not make you sick then stay on that - " Boom - done and it was that simple. I also take Dilaudid three times a day due to post cancer/chemo nightmare so I take both - very carefully of course but the Sub cancels out any euphoria from the dilaudid and for me it works very well as I have no pain and no euphoric feeling from the D - my doc thinks out of the box - is fair and ethical and super right on and I am super fortunate - I do not know where you are but if you are in Los ANgeles I am happy to refer you - he might take folks from outside of California as well though prob not though I do know docs that do - if you want send me a reply and we can discuss. Happy to.

I know this is an old post, BUT,,,That is a huge misconception about suboxone, you most definitely can inject it...I have personally watched people do it and it doesn't make you sick...I am not condoning it, I am just saying that everyone thinks that since it has the naloxone in it you cant but you sure can...

Not sure but it does - I feel no effects whatever from the Dilaudid - fortunately get to stop taking it this month anyway but just sayin - I think the Sub tricks the receptors into thinking they have something there already so the effects of are not felt - for me at any rate.
