How Do You Take Subutex? Swallow Or Put Under Tongue To Dissolve? (Page 7)
(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!!!!!

MY wife died on the plane that hit the Pentagon along with my child. A cruise missile you say??? I think all the opiates are frying your brain. I agree your spot on with all the Pharmacology and I couldn't agree more that Big Businesses like the Pharmaceutical companies run this Country... But your 911 conspiracy s*** just makes you sound like uneducated white trash strung out on Pain Meds. Not surprised your a supporter of Ron Paul.... I gonna take a shot in the dark here and say your lazy ass is on disability and you complain about the same govt that sends your monthly check and pro ally pays for your section 8 housing too. I'll continue to pay my taxes soo losers like you can get your dope in a pill. I don't believe in medication. I have 3 herniated discs and shrapnel all throughout my body from 4 tours of Duty as a Ranger fighting for the freedoms of unappreciative losers like yourself. I take NO medication....its all mind over matter. Its amazing what the bodies natural testosterone and dopamine can do for pain when you learn how yo channel it properly. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get up off your lazy you know what

just so you know the amount of naloxone present in suboxone, oral or IV is too little to be active- the bupe is the real blocker not the naloxone, and is the reason why you did not feel the Vicodin.

If you had gotten the meds legally you would know this but since you must need them n since they should be OTC for all to use when needed Ill explain.Suboxin has a blocker in it so you dont get high if you shoot up.NEVER swallow subs.Cut into 8 pieces.Put 1 piece under your tounge. DO NOT DRINK EAT OR TALK.for no less than 5 min it needs to disove there.At 10 min SPIT IT OUT.It is not meant to be in your stomach.Its like toothpaste.If you do not feel 1000 times better take 1 more n repeat,no drink ,smoke,eat,talk.SPIT at 15 min.then brush teeth n rince mouth at the least.this should keep most people well 12 to 48 hours depending on your system.this leaves you w 6 pieces left.Wait as long as you can inbetween doses n you will have a better time weaning off.Do AA classes just to get a support person .Without support this is a hard battle.Hope this helped.

I have always swallowed my subs and wondered if they say u only get 20% of the affects, should the withdrawals be less if I quit taking them. I want to quit but scared of withdrawals. I can't afford to be sick more than a week or 10 days. Anyone no this answer. It would make sense since I'm only getting less of the affects.

No, this is why I take subutex as opposed to suboxone. I also can't stand the orange taste.

Yes, the small white pill is a subutex and there is also a brand that is larger, white, and has the numbers 411 on it. It is the same as suboxone but does not contain naloxone (bupe only with cornstarch and other fillers). It should be taken under the tongue, however it is often abused by snorting or even injecting it. Injecting is very dangerous and can cause deep vein thrombosis which can lead to vein hardening and amputation, and possibly even death. If your friend is sick he should be getting his own prescription and not have only one pill that you are hiding. I'm not judging but thinking maybe it was purchased on the street...get him to a suboxone doctor for help. The subutex is usually only prescribed to pregnant women because of possible negative side effects from the naloxone that is found in suboxone.

hi shazoo! well you can take buscopan which will help with the stomach cramps. this is what the doctors give you in England for the cramps and i only ever had withdrawal when i wasnt taking subutex and never withdrawn that bad off subutex but everyone is different, go see your doctor and see what they can prescribe even a pharmicist can advise you what to take without prescription and stick with it !! remember we didnt become addicts over night and we wont get clean over night but YOU can do this and i wish you the best take care x

i was impressed with the post as it was lengthy and quite detailed and i just wanted to say about the bit you mentioned you not sure about the sniffing of subutex/suboxone well just to let you know that only about a mil or two mil of crushed subutex or suboxone is enough to get the same effect as an 8 mil tablet would have if taken under the tongue! this will differ with certain people as we all have a tolerence but if you do know people who sniff tell them to be careful as its way much stronger when snorted and you get a rush and a real high too but it takes about an hour to be fully working and also if you been sniffing the day before then be careful when sniffing again as these drugs build up in your system so it can lead to OD OR DEATH!! hope this helps you understand that part of your essay you was not sure about! take care x

HI i have been using subutex now for a few years and it is a sublingual tablet which means it is designed to disso;ve under the tongue. Do not swallow these tablets as they will have no effect also people have been misusing subutex by crushing the tablet and snorting it! most dont realise that you only need one milligram of the tablet crushed and snorted to have a heavy effect and snorting more than this can be fatal to someone who has no tolerence to opioid drugs!!! so be warned!!! taken the correct way they will allieviate withdrawal from heroin or methadone but you must be in the withdrawal stage to take subutex and if taken when you have other opiates in your system will only send you into a withdrawal and it is a bad place to be so make sure you are cold turkey before you administer subutex or suboxone!! suboxone is the same as subutex in the way the drug works but suboxone contains a blocker and also cant be injected like subutex! they are lemon flavoured too and its good how it works as it allieviates withdrawal but if you take heroin then the suboxone blocks the receptor site so the heroin cant attach to your receptor and give you a high and can also make you feel very ill so be careful, i hope this helps you to understand about this medication take care x

Does subutex taste as nasty as suboxen? I can't stand that oarnge taste. That's why I won't take suboxen. Reminds me of the old oarnge methadone tablets.

Angry much, L ? Been taking Subutex 16mg for four years and have NEVER had any issues! Oh and by the way, you can and should chew up the pill and cover the entire insides of your mouth since you maximize absorption this way. PS Life's too short to be angry. Smile and the world will smile back :) !!!!

Hi. I take 2 mgs of subutex daily. I take a half in the morning and half at night.The ones I'm taking are white 2mg tabs, that have the arrow on one side. They seem to work as well as Brand version, to me.

Sadie, above, was asking how best to come off 2mg of subutex. I'd like to ask the same question because I'd like to stop using. I appreciate all the sharing here. It answered many questions I had. So anyone, how quickly can I safely step down from 2mg subutex? Thanks

The small round white pill that has 8 on a side and an arrow on the other is a different, less efficient form of subutex, called Buprenorphine arrow. I've been on this pill for 2 months and it's working for me. Plus, it's waay more affordable than Subutex! If any1 has more beneficial info, please text it so we can all benefit from it. Thanks

Just for you're information, you can swallow subutex, and it works rather efficiently. Also, if you snort subutex, you get around twice as much of the Bupe as say putting under your tongue. And lol at the xanax + alcohol, dick in your hand HAHA

I was only on 2 mg. of suboxone a day when I jumped off. Now the subutes. How do I take it and can I taper with out the side effects and withdrawl symptoms? I hate this evil cycle. thanks for your info.

I just have to say that the use of naloxone with the bupe (AKA suboxone) to stop people from shooting (injecting) it is absurd and DOES NOT work in that way. I myself, along with many of my friends have dissolved both the strips and pills and injected them for reasons I will not go into here. However, we DID NOT experience instant withdrawal or any other bad side effects when doing this. In fact, it became our preferred method. It's been years that we have been doing this, leaving us to wonder what exactly the purpose of the naloxone is. Any doctors out there care to reply with an honest answer?
