(Newest replies first)

Updated

I have a friend who takes suboxone & recently got a subutex given to him. I take suboxone myself but ive never heard of subutex until couple days ago. I would like to know how is subutex supposed to be taken? Under your tongue or do u swallow it? I am worried about my friend & i have searched every site possible on information on subutex but none of these sites say how it is suppose to be taken. what are the side effects of subutex? why do doctors give pregnant women subutex & not suboxone during pregnancy? i need to know any & all information on subutex. i have hidden the pill from my friend until i can try 2 find some information on it & he has been sick but i dont want anything bad to happen to him.also is subutex a small white round pill with number 8 on one side & an arrow on the other & does it come in any other forms or colors etc.? I'm desperate for answers!!!!!

So, I have been on subutexs for going on two years. previously was a needle junkie on opiates. I take 12 mg a day. I'm not feeling the relief for my pain as before when I first started taking them. Just wondering what I need to do ? Because I do have severe back pain do to accident . I refuse to get back on opiates. Thanks :)

Yeah tell the pharmacy and your doctor you want subutex tell them you need the big white ones no the ones with 8 an the arrow it takes 3 of those to equal 1 of the subutex that say 54 411 tell your doctor subutex that the zolsolv cuz that's what he you and insufflating is the absolute best way trust me when you get them filled ask them for the 54 411 I filled mine and the pharmacist opened the bottle and showed me one you get those you feel wonderful just insufflating but it works under takes about 30minutes to an hour to dissolve I would insufflate one subutex at a time. I'm on 4 a day because of my tolerance but I make sure at the pharmacy they are the 54 411

Hey subutex goes under the tongue. you shouldnt make your friend suffer. just tell him not to take any opiate or methadone. if he does he should wait 3 days of nothing before he can take it. I take the bigger subutex and they rock to insufflate. yes you can insufflate em. you can IV subutex if you want. I get the 54 411 and they're white, the ones that you have with the arrow and the number 8. I've had them.

Ok sounds like to me if ur taking 24mg of Suboxone and still trying to take opiates on top of that. You still trying to get high. The Suboxone program is wonderful for those who are truely wanting sober living. Every Suboxone program in our area wiuld never put someone on 3 8's a day to begin with. 1, 2 @ the most. These programs are for set up for to start weaning down in a year and a half. If u take ur dose how your suppose and wean off by a medical provider its a cake walk. You tried to go from 3. 8's a day to nothing. If u were really trying to come of Suboxone, u would know that number one rule is NEVER try to go from High dose to nothing. Your only suppose to wean down only one to two mg every 10 to 14 days. Your just an i**** trying to discourage people who may really want to clean up their life. Having to increase ur opiates because the naloxone keeps u from feeling ur opiate high????Are u serious? Dude u need alot more than Suboxone to cure your ignorance!!! Just like they tell u in every detox, rehab, or prison...Work the program (right) and it will work for you!!!! I was on Suboxone for four years. I took it and weaned from it like my doc said and Im living life again!!!!!

Bull crap methadone gets you high as the pill you use to do , it will completely keep you knocked out .. I was on methadone for 7 years come out on a financial detox , and I thought I was gonna die , my legs would ache my body would ache , I had never been dope sick in my life , until I came off the methadone , it knock me out about 45 minutes after I had taken it . I'd sleep , nod in and out .. After I came off the methadone I was so sick I thought I'd die , I started shooting up , opanas and morphine , that's the only thing that keeps you from being so sick . I became so strung out . My family finally came and put me in the suboxen clinic . In less then a year I came from 2 sublinguar films a day to a half and I've been clean now over a year .. That methadone is a joke abd a money gimmick . Please take it from some one who knows

Subutex & Suboxone should ALWAYS be taken sublingually (Under the Tongue) & yes, A very small white pill with an arrow on 1 side & 8 on the other is 8mg of subutex. Subutex & Suboxone both come in many different looking pills. One type of Suboxone comes in an orange film-like strip about 1/2in x 1in. When taken under your tongue, it gets absorbed by those blood vessels you see when you lift your tongue. Some people like to snort it, but you should never swollow it. It loses a lot if it's potency when swallowed. If your friend is "Dope Sick" give him 1/2 of the pill, tell him to put it under his tongue, & leave it there 'til it's completely desolved & gone. He'll be "Well" immediately. Suboxone saved my life...It's a mirical drug & much easier to come off of. It has a VERY long half-life meaning that it stays in you system for a very long time. I take 1/4 piece every 6hrs & I'm perfectly fine. No side effects or adverse reactions, with me anyway...

I took suboxone for two years at 24mg a day. Getting off of the stuff was the most miserable experience in my entire withdrawal career. I have come off of heavy benzodiazepines, barbiturates, opiates, the hardest kick was suboxone. I did a rapid 7 day taper from 24mg to 0mg. I experienced withdrawal symptoms in some form or another for two months. I thought at one point I would never get better or recover. It is a terrible drug for abusers as a maintenance plan.... Too hard to get off of.

The naloxone in my suboxone never prevented me from getting high on other opiates/opioids while I was on the suboxone regularly at 24mg a day. You simply end up having to take more of the opiate/opioid on top of the suboxone to get the effects you want.

For example you can be on suboxone, high dose, and go to an ER for an injury, tell them you are on suboxone, and if they treat you with pain medication they will simply give you a much larger dose of the pain medication because of the naloxone. The naloxone is not an effective drug imo.

If you actually have an injury and use a pain management clinic and are on methadone you would no It does not get you high?? you might feel the numbness feeling in your head for a few days but that goes away for people that actually have a serious injury. how can you blame the DEA or FDA for making it hard to get some sorts of medication when you your self have been flagged because they can see past your lies and attempt to say you actually have any kind of real pain. people like you are the reason that all these bans are put on medications. whining about muscle spasms?? are you KIDDING me?? I have been on a pain pump for 14 years of my life from when I Broke my back my leg shattered and my head broke had 60 staples in my head can never walk again and you are here thinking you are so cool because the doctors had to give you a little more medication to put you under. get a life and stop blaming the DEA for trying to get people like you to stop abusing medication.

When using opiates and want to switch to suboxone,you must wait at least 24 hours after your last opiate use before taking suboxone,otherwise,if taken too soon after your last use,you will be thrown into the most uncomfortable,intolerable withdrawal you have ever experienced.When taken after the 24 hour waiting period,the suboxone will lessen the withdrawal symptoms you are starting to experience.Be forewarned,if taken before the 24 hour waiting period,your in for one of the most uncomfortable experiences you will ever have.Trust me!

The best way is to snort em the white ones with the 8 on one side and an arrow on the other side are definitely Buprenorphine (subutex) 8mg. The white pills will make you feel very high if you have little to no tolerance. If so try to just do half and try not to let it drain to much. Do it enough to where it barely drains and lay down for 30 minutes til it dissolves in your nasal cavity. But the arrow ones suck the bigger white ones that have 54 411 on them are way better

Wow you're all nubs , you can safely shoot or snort subutex or suboxone. They make subutex with and without naloxin all suboxone has naloxin in it. You can snort and get a quicker stronger high that won't last as long or put it under your tounge and let it dissolve for at LEAST 20 mins before you eat drink talk or smoke for best bio obsorption , if you have never taken it before be careful subutex is a extremely potent opiate 8mg of subutex is equal to 120mg of oxycodone or roxicodone , so start small before you guys start snorting or banging , the pills duration snorted is 4-6 hours under the tounge is 8-12 hours shooting it is a intense 4 hour high similar to heroin , and yes subutex brand name says B8 on it or 54 411 white round pills . Withdrawal simptoms from Long use of subutex WILL be much worse then withdrawing from heroin and will last for about 14 days to a month of withdrawing even when people taper down they feel depressed and moody. Be safe

The reason people that cant afford insurance, don't have it, is because the republican states that won't expand medicaid... Please read more . watch the news (not fox). There are lots of problems ith this insuance now. You are right..But it will get better when the Rebublicans are voted out....And i am hurting (poor) also. But i know who is responsible...The Repupulican 's in congress. Thje one''s in our states that are most hurt..need to go..if Medicaid as expanded like our President wanted, and the Reps weren't trying to make it impossible for us poor people (They are) And yes if someone can afford insurance they should pay...So other's can have it at a better price..You must know how it works..The lless that sign up the higher the rates....

Dear hockey Mom
You are afraid to learn something new or to humble yourself to learn something you have to attack grammar. When you are in the heat of writing something you feel strongly about.....sometimes grammar isn't important. Open your eyes and see the bigger picture

Don't be a goof ball. you do not need to sniff ether one of them. take them the right way and it will work fine. remember everyone's tolerance is different too. you cannot speak for any one else and say one mg works for me and if you have a tolerance 2 mg will be enough. there is no way you can no that. tolerances go A LOTTT higher then that. goofy kids i new would bang a 8mg pill with out a problem or sniff them. bunch of dumbass kids. soo if I was you I would not guess and say what you think is best to SNIFF and how many mg work FOR YOUUU.

You sound so dumb when you say sh*t like that. If you had any brains or common sense you would look past the technicality of the spelling and comprehend the info that he took time to answer... I do believe my friend..your the stupid one and probably in denial. Now you better go check my spelling and make sure I put my commas and period dots in the right place. Your such a genius I'd hate to annoy you for bad grammar.
