Opioid Dependence Forums (Page 191)

I have been on suboxone since October of 2013...I originally had a pill addiction and moved on to heroin...subsequently I suffered a back injury at work in November and have been in terrible pain. No doctors want to prescribe me narcotics...which I understand. Yesterday I took a Percocet that someone gave me and I see sub doc tomorrow afternoon...Will the oxy still be in my system? I have heard that drinking a lot of water I can flush the oxy out faster? I just do not want to have to go into this clinic once a week...which will happen if I come up dirty...it's far from my home and I can't afford it. Any ideas? Also..Will the oxy show show up in the urine cups with the instant reads on it...because it will be over 48 hours by then? They do send urines out to lab to be tested...so...

I'm being switched from methadone to suboxone I got brought from 63mg to 30mg and now I have to go in withdrawals for 3 days before I can start suboxone. My last 30mg dose was on sunday by monday afternoon I was sick nd couldn't take it and took some vicodin nd by tuesday night I tried getting the doc to call in somethind for the withdrawals nd he wouldnt then I was offered by a friend an 8mg suboxone strip nd it helped me feel normal nd I was able to sleep now I'm worried come thursday if I'm going to be tested for suboxone nd if so if its still in my system will he refuse to perscribe it to me? ## I was wondering how this went as I have a appointment tomorrow and ate 1/4 of a quarter of sub which is very low dose. Did he say anything about it in yoir system

I had some of my regular meds (opana) stolen & had to take 20mg methadone (tabs) tonight in order to stretch my supply :( I am an older woman, heavy, don't get much exercise (chronic pain) I have a drug test on the 14th, will it be out of my system by then? (don't eat much but drink tons of tea and soda)

I just recently got prescribed soboxone after about a year and a half of shooting h. I still would like to get high maybe once a month. Does anybody know how long to wait? I take a sub before bed. i have to wake up bout six am for work and if i take an opiate at about nine willl it be effected buy the sub from the night before? Obviously i would have to wait a day or so or untill i am back in withdraw to take more sub but can u skip a day of sub and use that day then continue w/ the sub the next day? ## you can't use suboxone for a crutch,if you're going to do H i would'nt mess with suboxone,you're either going to use sub or h,if you're going to keep using h just stay on that misrible road,if you just take suboxone you're life will get better,it won't with h....

I am trying to find out what this is ## This pill has 6 sides, white in colour, n8 on one side and little sword on other please tell me what this is ## Hi Marko, Based on my research, a white hexagonal (six-sided) tablet with a sword logo on one side and "N8" on the other, is identified as generic Suboxone; containing 8mgs of Buprenorphine HCL + 2mgs of Naloxone HCL dihydrate. It also appears to be from Canada if that helps verify things. Suboxone is frequently used to treat opioid dependence as well as severe chronic pain. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Suboxone Details I hope this helps!

My old bo-friend had be been & still is eating 4X's a day. it has taken everything from him-he look's like a street person.is now showing dementia sign's-remember's nothing & duz not even remember our daily adventure's or intimate moments or whatever. he went back to fla- because he is so addicted & can not get it in Indiana. his Dr. there is Louis Paterno-in Largo-that guy should really be turned in- he spend's 5 min-with patient & had's John all the meth he want. My bo-friend was star football player-in school & a graphic artist- he has nothing now-nothing except his dad's place to lay his head & eat methadone. I do wish Palermo would get busted- I am far away from snitch or perfect- but meth has totally ruined our long relations...

Please send a picture of round white pill with a cresent moon on opposite side that is related to a suboxin type pill ## Hello, Mike! How are you? I'm sorry, but I don't have a picture to post for you due to copyright reasons, however, I can confirm for you that a round white tablet with the Actavis logo on one side and 155 on the other is a generic for Suboxone that contains 8mgs of Buprenorphine and 2mgs of Naloxone. Learn more Suboxone 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

Started sub 3 months ago today at 12mg. Started tapering 2 months ago. 4 weeks ago I was at 4mg. and have dropped 1 mg per week. Took my last 1mg this morning. Noticed people been asking about coming off this stuff. I,ll keep you all informed about how my jump feels. Not expecting anything for a few days because of the half life. Just to let you know I didn,t feel much bettween tapers until I got down to 1mg. and I gotta tell you that it was just about nothing. Not thinking jump will be too bad, maybe mild discomfort I hope. I know it,ll be nothing like past oxy wds. ## Day 4: Hasn,t been too bad yet. Except for the sleep thing whitch I HAVE been getting some kind of feels like about a med. alcohol hangover. Those subs are some weird s#it. I ain,t knocking them because they helped me ge...

I've been using percocets for 2 years. for my fibromyalgia pain. I was taking 30 milligrams a day. now I am detoxing on suboxone for 2 days. my doctor currently gave me Savell. can I do both together or should I wait after I detox.. ## Hello, Tina! How are you? Are you just working with your regular doctor on this? The Suboxone likely isn't appropriate for someone taking just 30mgs a day, it's meant to be used to treat hardcore drugs addicts, not someone that's just been dependent on something for pain. And are you referring to Savella? In respect to it, what instructions did your doctor provide you for when to start it?

I've been on subutex for a year and a half taking 2 8 milligram tablets a day how long would it take for it to completely be out of my system for urine screen ## From everything I have read , Subutex has a half life, meaning in 36 hours you would be rid of 4mg and in 36 from that you would be rid of 2mg and 36 hours from that 1mg and 36 hours from that .5 an so on

Was with a pain center in South Carolina for three years, but they through me out because I was taking a cough medicine given to me by my regular doctor. They said it was in my urine and they did not prescribe it. They put me on Methadone 10 mg four times a day, Oxycodone 7.5 mg three times a day, and a lot of other drugs for the last three years. I was in a car accident ten years ago, and was pretty messed up from it. What can I do about the pain center? My reg doc told them she prescribed it to me for three months, and they said they did not care. ## If you had a treatment agreement contract with them that stated you couldn't take narcotics from other doctors, without their approval, or that you couldn't take them at all, then you breached that contract.

Went to my sub. dr. yesterday and he lowered my dose of 12mg per day to 8mg. or one film strip. I told him I want to get off sub. completely so he,s gonna taper me down to very low dose. I asked him about WDS. and he assured me that there would be next to none. I doubt this. He told me he would prescribe Tramadol when I got off the Suboxone and then wean me off it. Has any one tried or heard of this method? ## I've not heard of tramadol being used for WDS, but I tried it for pain once. It made me feel creepy, gabe me wierd dreams, and didn't help with my pain ( kind of like me subox expierence). Everyone is different though, and it migh work for you. We are all different. ## I also tried it for pain a long time ago and it did not work. Are you off suboxone, were the wds bad as t...

I'm looking for a program or a place in Kentucky that will help me financially so I can start the Methadone treatment clinic in Lexington Kentucky? I just need help with the money to pay to start the methadone treatment until I can start getting my life together and able to work and start paying weekly for the methadone treatment program on my own. Anybody have ideas? Much obliged! ## The best suggestion I can make is to check with your local large hospitals. They usually have a social work department that keeps track of various resources to help people that in situations, just like yours. Does anyone else have any suggestions? ## My advice is if u dont have enough money to start methadone treatment. (The cheapest maintenence program out) then u dont have a problem bad enough to nee...

I am in Boston Massachusetts and looking for a subutex dr. I am legitimately allergic but need to find adr for my bf as well. Can anyone help me with this game off finding adr. That will prescribe it and NOT claim that subutex is easier to abuse so it's Suboxone or nothin? Contact me if please! Plus if there are any people in the area that can piggyback and help either out I get my own script 90 a month... my next script is around the end of this month.

What's the difference between the small and large pill an which is stronger the 2mg or the 8mg? ## Hello, Sherrie! How are you? When it comes to medications, please don't let them confuse you. As applies in most other situations, the relevance of numbers in medications is the same, so the higher the number, the stronger the dosage. Learn more Subutex details here. This is a narcotic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. As to the specifics on the pills you mentioned, them sizes don't mean anything, so I can't tell you anything about them without more information. Can you please post back with the markings on them? Thanks! ## Size DOESN'T matter but the strength goes ...

I have been on 50 mg of methadone tid for a 3 months after 2 years years on 40mgs tid. I am also on 2-3 30 mg oxycodone for breakthrough and 100mg ms contin bid. I have reached this stage due to tolerance after 8 years of use for 9+ pain due L3, L4, and 3 cervical herniations, and spinal stenosis. I am also on 1mg of clorazepam tid. I am not getting relief from the methadone and the Pain Doctor wants to look to lessen my methadone due to QT cardiac delays. My doctor is open to reasoned regimen and that is what I need. I will see him next Wed. so I am in a hurry. Thanks in advance. ## Well, you should be aware that regardless of what you try to replace it with, you are likely to still experience some problems, if you stop the Methadone. It is very difficult to stop and, even with a slow ...
