Is It Ok To Take Vicodin With Suboxone? (Page 4)

Hi. I am having a procedure done and am being prescribed vicodin. I am currently on suboxone. I WILL NOT take the vicodin unless I am in excruciating pain. Would suboxone help with the pain? And if I do have to take the vicodin how long should I wait to take it after taking suboxone? THANKS!

Hi Jennifer, just checking in on you to make sure you're ok. Have you gotten a 2nd opinion from a different Dr? Keep in mind that most Pain mgmt Dr's will tell you that you NEED to stay on Subs...they are getting a fortune from the Pharmaceutical companies to keep their patients ADDICTED! Sick, but true. They are making a RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY by keeping patients addicted. I am so BLESSED AND GRATEFUL that my new Dr got me off of Subs without suffering any withdrawals. All physicians took an oath to, "FIRST DO NO HARM", and sadly, their GREED has turned them into legal drug dealers. Don't stop until you find a Dr who really has YOUR BEST INTEREST at heart. What area do you live in? I'm happy to help find you a pain mgmt Dr that will get you off of Subs by using the method that my Dr used. Would like to hear how you're doing, pls update us, GOD BLESS YOU

Thank you so much for your reply I live in mn mpls area I have had a hard time with all this since the my suboxone doctor is out of the country until april 8th and they sent her a email a day before she left. so she decided to push my pain management on the doc who is doing my surgery which she has no idea abut suboxone .my primary care doctor is the one who has been saying lots of sorry's and trying to figure out what is best way to do this / she has talk to the pain doc at the hospital the pharmacy and another doctor and everyone has there one way of doing and saying no way is wrong way. my sub doctor didn't even tell me how to tapper down or anything. my doctor wanted me to do 4mg and dilaudid I said no I want to tapper off go in the dilaudid and go back on suboxone . I have been wanting to get off sub for a couple of months now but due to the pain I have to have this done first because they want me pain free .if you know of any other clincs in my area please feel free to let me know any help would be great who I am with right now are worthless thanks for writing to me

I had 2 major surgeries for cancer and I had been (still on) suboxone, at the time was 2 years on. My Sub Dr was great, called.the oncologist and surgeons, the end result was in order to get pain meds after surgery that I would need, I had to stop subs a week before. They said ideally 8-10 days but that wasn't an option at the time. I felt like hell for the first 4 days or so but when surgery time came I was ok, not good not great but you get the idea. Anyways the first surgery which was the worst, they sided cautiously and only gave me 10 mg Oxy, and 40 count. I was calling them every 4-5 days because of how horrible the pain was. Never realized that suboxone had long affect after stopping. But 2nd time around I told them I wanted them to keep me after for 24 hrs due to the amount of pain I had before and number of times I had to call sometimes crying because the pain would just not stop. My advice for you, is if you can make it a week off suboxone and take whatever painkillers and leave it at that without going back to being addicted then do it!! You will not regret the chance you have to take pain meds (not suboxone) while wd off of subs, as many stated above all they will do cuz of the strength is make you feel normal. That's really all you should want, I wished I had stayed off and not gone back to suboxone. It's been 7 yrs and I litteraly take a paper sized piece off a strip a day. The 8 mg strip lasts about 14-16 days. Yet if I don't take it I feel like I did when I started and missed a full 12 mg dose. To all who are on or want to get on subs, get on get clean, take the LOWEST dose you can deal with and get the hell off it. Get clean and live your life without stupid wds. Well good luck hope I helped someone and that this wasn't too long

Nope. I've had two back surgeries, I have metal rods and screws in my back and believe me, I KNOW back pain and Suboxone does nothing for pain. It might as well be baby asprin. If Suboxone works on your pain, you're not in much pain to begin with.

Six days for some, depends on how long and at how high a dose. Could take a few months.

No it will not help at all. You will get more relief out of ibuprofen then out of any real good prescribed pain med. I've been on sub for a long while now and when I'm in pain I take a couple Anacin and a couple Ibuprofen and it usually helps a lot.

I have been on Suboxone for a couple years but when I was pregnant I was put on it. When I went into labor they had to do an emergency C-section, I already had an epideral so I had no trouble thru the surgery but once they took that out I was in excruciating pain. They had me on a morphine drip but I couldn't feel any of it till 37 hrs later I could finally start to get some relief from the moriphine. So if you see that you are going to have to take pain mess for any reason, start to ween off of the suboxone as soon as you can cause it will take time for you to be able to get that out of your system enough to feel anything else.

Yea um no. Suboxone is NOT a narcotic. Are you serious? I broke my back in Iraq. I was on everything gods green earth has for pain. Now 7 years later I made the decision to get off narcotics once and for all. I don't want my life to revolve around med time. Any way. Sorry I was rambling. I'm a paramedic and see all types of placebo effects. I can convince someone that I just have them valum and all it was, was a flush of saline. I'm not trying to put you out but suboxone only.helps pain if you are having a placebo effect. Sorry but it's the truth. But hey.. If you can honestly say it.is a pain reliever .. Dude do it up. Good luck

How long does it take to get off suboxone. A tapering program or just so advice would be appreciated. I've been on suboxone for one and half yrs. Went from two strips every day to one strip to 1/2 strip to 1/3 strip per day in 2 months in an attempt to taper off. 2/3 days later and I feel like Im in withdrawal all over again.

tapering has to be such a slow process or withdrawal is what you will go though they told me 18 months just to tapper and get off this suboxone which i didn't know this is what i signed up for when getting on this meds i have also been on this foe 1 1/2 years and am ready to tapper my doc said they do it very very slow so no withdrawals are felt good luck

I've been on sub program for a year, I had a painful out patient procedure yesterday and stopped taking sub the night before. I had a script of Vic and it is helping w pain but if you're worried about feeling everything during ur surgery BC of sub's Dont worry about that. As long as u tell the drs everything in advance you will be fine. I've had five surgeries since being on program. Good luck to u :)

I have been on suboxone for 3 months down to 0.25mg a day almost done. But I had some female problems and my doctor gave me vicodine I took 2 today for pain and it worked. Now I just hope I don't have withdrawal from the suboxone.

I had a medical procedure where i had to go under for a few hours. The doctors have the drugs to override suboxone.(they didn't tell me what it was) When i was in post op i felt fine, but later that evening i had to dose with suboxone. Everything they gave me wore off so reluctantly it was time to get back on the sub boat.
