How Long Does Suboxone Stay In Your Body (Page 2)

Lets get this straight suboxones are NOT an opiate it will not show up on a drug test as one they either have to test sepritly for it useally only probation drug tests have suboxone on it most jobs will not test for it because its exspensive an the only reason courts an probation test for it is because people are always messing things up for the rest of us because peoole in jail were getin high on then n people were abusing them well on probation thinking they wouldnt ketch on so now its ruined for they rest of us but the point is its NOT an opiate n jobs usally dont test for it

Yes very true...Actually one of the active ingredients in Suboxone (bupenorphine) is an opioid but does NOT come up in routine drug tests under opiates. There's a specifically rendered test for used that actually tests for bupe. It has a very long half life (36-40 hours) So it will still be actively in your blood stream for 1-3 days which if given a specific test for sub's you will Only test+ for bupenorphine not opiates.

Actually there is an opiate in Suboxone but it does not show up on standard employment drug tests as you mentioned. The opiate is buprenorphine 8 or 4 mg depending on the strip used and the blocker is naloxone. When in the body the naltrexone prevents the opiate from binding to receptors but makes the body think it got its dose of opiate. When testing they are bonded together and don't show up on a normal urine test, but as you pointed out there are special teats for it usually in the court systems. Doing a slow tapper off Suboxone is the best way to avoid withdrawal. 1 mg per month withdrawal until 2 mg and then a half mg. per month withdrawal. At the end you might want to do one quarter mg per day and then get off. It will work but there will be some discomfort. Hang in there.

Re: PharmacistDirector (# 14)

No ur very wrong my fiance was on them for 3 yrs and had to take probation urine test every mth. And never failed once. It's a separate special expensive test. So unless anyone testing u suspects u of using it. They don't test u and it's not a opiate. I'm beyond sure of this. Because he passed every test for everything. And it's not a partial agonist. I'm a 100 percent sure of this. I got my information from a actually Suxboxane doctor.
