Opioid Dependence Forums (Page 108)

I've been taking one to one and a half zubsolv a week for the past 6 months. I take a quarter a day. I stopped 5 days ago and drank about 3 gallons of water since then. I weight 120-125lb and i'm 5'4. I have a drug test tomorrow evening and need to know if I'll be good to go?

Why would my urine that's being clean for a few years come back positive for opiates when I have not touched a drug except my methadone? ## Sorry to read that this happened to you too. I had the same thing happen to me a few months back and my take home bottles were taken, so I had to write a grievance to the administration. It took a couple weeks but I got my bottles back and now I'm doing the mouth swabs now. So far no problems plus I'm going on 6 years clean of heroin and coke, don't miss it at all. GOD Bless and hope you make out OK as well Tracy.

i recently got a 8mg 155 imprint with a half moon imprint on the other side, i read up that its an 8 mg with a 2 mg base. im not sure what that meant so my question is, is this 155 8 mg pill as strong as the 8 mg sublingual film? ## Hello, Rob! How are you? Yes, they are the same. The base just basically refers to it as being equivalent, to put it in very simple terms for you. The actual medical ones would be very hard to understand and I really don't feel like trying to spell them all, either. LOL But yes, it is the same dosage and just as effective. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Do they make round orange suboxone? ## Yes they do get them all the time. ## I was on sublingual film suboxone, well i took a half moon suboxone when i wasn't supposed to and im a lil worr...

I take different opiates: norco 5s, 10s, tramadol, whatever is available. I've always been in extreme pain since my car accident and I'm new to suboxone. My mother-in-law takes it for her opiate addiction. I never know how much is too much. I've taken one 8 mg sub and a quarter of an 8. Is that too much to take at once?

I'm aware that on a urine test it detects the metabolites produced by your body while taking suboxone, but does anyone know what the drug test reads exactly when dirty for subs? I just had subs show up and i seen something show up but wasnt sure what it said because i didnt get a good look but it wasnt bupe or naloxone. Anyone know? ## When you take a urine test what shows up when you take bupren/nalox? ## Does dcfs test for suboxone .i take suboxone but the case worker hasnt said anything to me about it ## Thought i would tell u my thoughts.i have been on subs for 1&1/2 yrs was dirty used real pee with a hole a half still showed up.when u find a way to beat it they will find a way to get the true results.just think they ars hard to come off of

I have been taking 5mg Percocet, 4 times a day. My grandson stole them and I came up short. He said he could not give me them anymore. He said I was a "supplier". They put me on the butrans 10 patch. I am 63 and have fibromyalgia and recovering for 1 year from breast cancer, with a double mastectomy. I have been so sick for the last 3 days and calling the office does no good. They say I am going through withdrawal. I have never experienced anything like this before. I did not know what was happening to me. It scared me. All I could think of was it was like chemo. I had a few of my Percocets left and have been taking 1/2 of one each day to help me get through it. If they drug tested me will it show up different from butrans? ## That is disgraceful what your grandson did but your ...

I am from Bham Al. I was seeing a doctor there that prescribed Adderal 30mg once daily. I am an adult and have dealt with ADHD for as long as I remember. The doctor also prescribed my bipolar depression meds and I also have been on Hormones that has made me feel like a new person. I was having a very hard time with menopause. I am not searching for anything that I don't need. As a matter of fact when I left Bham Al., I had been on Methadone for almost 2 years. I was taking 140mg a day. I was in a terrible car accident and was going to a pain clinic before the methadone clinic. The pain doctor stopped taking Medicaid and a friend told me about the Methadone clinic so I hurt so bad that I had no choice but to try it. After being on the Methadone even though I had no pain I began to no...

Supposed to be 5mg methadone. It says DISKETS and has a star where the word meets. Blank on other side. ## Hi Melany, I've yet to see any pills that fit this description, but from what I've researched, Diskets is reportedly a brand of Methadone that is made to be dissolved in water. In my findings, they're often referred to by the FDA as "Diskets dispersible tablets". So based off this intel, I think it's safe to say that what you have is "supposed to be" Methadone. I'm not sure of the dosage, but depending on where or how you came about obtaining the tablet could also determine its legitimacy. Hope this helps! ## David, Thank you. I looked online and couldn't find anything like it. Is there any other kinds of meds that are called Diskets? ## From...

been on subutex 2 1/2 months only taking 2mg 3x per day just stopped how many days until I start feeling withdraws from it I heard it has a half life so will I be ok for a few days before it affects me * ## I know it's a large gap, but the estimated half-life of Subutex (buprenorphine) is 24 to 60 hours. So it's likely that you may not begin to notice withdrawal symptoms until well after the first day. I know it's different for everyone, but from what I've seen, many individuals who go cold turkey on buprenorphine can end up experiencing withdrawal symptoms by the 2nd or 3rd day. Your symptoms may last anywhere from an estimated 2 weeks to 2 or 3 months. It depends on several underlying factors. However it is important to do everything you can to help yourself during thi...

I took a very small piece of Subutex this morning. I haven't taken Subutex in a week and half but I have a drug test tomorrow morning. Will it show up on a drug test? ## Yes it will show up in the morning. I never use over a crum to take the nite before my drug screen. It does not matter the amount that you take it will be in your system for 72 hours. I know from experience of a abuser and of a recovery addict.

I was given a white no number or letters on either sides. Not scored either. Round pill & was told it was 100 mg Methadone ## Never heard of a methadone tab being 100mg, the highest I thought was 45mg wafer... ## Hello, Ann Marie! How are you? Justin is correct, there is no 100mg Methadone available in the U.S. The maximum dose available here is 40mgs. Learn more Methadone details here. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Additionally, prescription tablets in the U.S. must all have imprints on them to enable their identification, in case of emergency. If it has no markings, it is either an over the counter product, or a foreign medication and in either...

I am not a 'drug seeker'. Have Rx's for fentanyl 12.5mcg & 10/325 hydrocodone. I am 63 yrs. of age, prescribed 29+ pills daily. I picked up my 28 day Rx's for the above meds, and had my first drug test in my life. How could I test positive for methadone and oxycodone (I don't even know what they look like!)? I requested to be retested with both urine and blood, but was denied. I have seen the same DR for over 18 yrs. I called the next day, requesting to be retested, still denied. Any chance second-hand cannabis smoke could have been laced with methadone and oxycodone? Contact smoke 24-7 for maybe 3 weeks, quite high contact. What do you think? I need help now, I don't want this in my medical records! Thank you. ## Hi, I'm kinda wondering the same thing. I...

Hello everyone! I've was a pain pill addict for almost 11 years. I had many of surgeries and have a lot of medical problems. I was put on the pain pills due to my severe pain. And, became addicted. Went on methadone to get clean. I was so sick of being an addict. I was on 110mg and weaned down to 24mg. At that point, I was withdrawing so bad. I went to my Dr. Whom is also an addiction specialist, in tears. I was begging him to help me. He said I could stay on the methadone and increase or go on suboxone. I had come so far down off the meth. That I didn't want to stay on it. Anyway , I went on subs. That day. I take 24 mg a day. I'm also on. 3mg a day of klonopin due to PTSD and anxiety. So happy where my life is today. I've been on subs for almost 8 years now . I know if...

Looking for a Dr. That prescribes Methadone in Southern California Northridge area or Encino, Tarzana, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, North Hollywood, and Burbank.

I suffer from horrible degenerative disc disease that goes up and down my back all the way up to my neck. The top of my neck. I also suffer from fibromyalgia, so basically every day is a pain struggle and I have a doctor that is weaning me from pills but I didn't mean for him to wean me all the way off, I meant for him to wean me down. I had a horrible doctor before that basically got me hooked on loads and loads of methadone and I'm so far down that I'm proud of myself, but this doctor is putting me in a ...

I've had back surgery and have degenerative disc disease that is already "severe" at 36yo. I'm miserable. My Dr just got in trouble so I went from 4 Roxy 20s and 2 opana 5s daily to 3 Roxy 15s daily. I tried subutex with the Roxy (just taking a little piece all throughout the day... Up go 1 8mg tablet) and it works wonders. Now I'm scared to tell this new Dr bc she's not really a pain management Dr. I've been trying to find a Dr in my area who may be able to help me. I live near Beckley, WV. Any suggestions??

My boyfriend is on probation and he keeps messing up. It's from something that happened EIGHT years ago! He really does have pain issues and although he has a prescription for pain medication the probation officer doesn't care. We decided to go the subutex route. So my question is this: Does anybody know if probation officers test for suboxone/subutex on a 7 panel or 10 panel test? In California/Los Angeles specifically? I know normally they need to do a separate test for suboxone but I don't know much about how probation officers do it. He needs help and he needs at least some relief. What do they test for? And if it ends up going to the lab and wasn't tested before, will it be tested for suboxone then? Please help and respond as soon as possible! Thank you!

My son wants me to take him to a Methadone clinic to help with his long term opioid addiction, everything from Oxy to Dilaudid. Is this the right thing to do? ## Hello, Gina! How is your son doing? Methadone is a viable choice, however, most people that use it do end up needing a lifetime maintenance dose of it and daily visits to the clinic for a long time, before they earn take home doses, which are usually only up to 2 weeks worth. The other option is Suboxone, many people that take it do end up eventually becoming completely drug free. It is covered by some insurance plans, plus the patient usually gets a full month prescription from the get go, though the doctor or pharmacist may supervise the first dosing. You can discover more information on it at Suboxone.com click here. They ha...

how long does suboxone block diazepam elavil & lexapro. ## Hello, Silver Fox2! How are you? It does not block those medications. Suboxone contains Buprenorphine and Naloxone, the Naloxone only blocks the effects of other opiates to prevent their abuse, while someone is being treated with it and the Buprenorphine takes their place on the opiate receptors in the brain. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I took 2 8 mlg strips rhis morning I got months ago incase I ran out and I went to the doctor the other day and he prescribed me 1...
