Does Saboxon show up positive on a drug screen? ## Yes, Suboxone is a narcotic. ## My Doctor said no. If they test for it yes but, who test for suboxin ? Most places test for thc, coke, meth and opidits and as long as you are prescriped it then u good ## Yea it will show up on a drug test. Suboxone is a form of methadone; most test for that. If you have a script though your good. ## I was told that it definitely did not come up on drug screenings by my doc. I had the same concern as you and he reassured me, even if you are screened for opiates. ## SUBOXON does NOT come up on a drug screen, nobody tests for it at this point. I can take suboxon right now and go give my PO a urine sample and it comes back clean. I think that if you have no 'personal experience' with these questions...

Sub, lower amounts of oc and rox, periodically over the past few years (5) by friend and I are taking to time to finally hit this cold turkey. Today would be day 4 with no sub. 3 for one of us 6 for the other. 3rd time quitting cold turkey. Each time has worked. I am just anticipating the worst. Last night was a reminder of what the worst feels, 0 hours of sleep. WE have a divine friendship, we were are in this together. We have benzos, colonize, Cannibals or weed, addy. L Tyrosine, and I think moral support being the most important thing. Our worst experienced of sub dosage was probably a 8mg strip. but that only being a minuscule about just enough to get by, typically about 2 mg o rless for the better part of 4 years. We weren't poor but we are the only few people who know the ***...

If You Sniff The Small White 8 Mg Subutex Is It Stronger Then Letting Them Dissolve under your tounge? ## yes it is much stronger and only a miligram of the 8 miligram needs to be sniffed to achieve an effect! even if you have used heroin for years it will take away withdrawal symptoms! but be warned you must be in withdrawal from heroin or methadone for it to work and if you take when you still high on heroin or methadone then you will go into a nightmare withdrawal so be careful!! i would not recommend you snort these tablets but if you do be careful and look at harm reduction and like i said only sniff a small amount and dont go sniffing too much as the body builds a rapid tolerence and also you will have so much in your system from the last sniff or the day before and you will just ...

I agree with most that methadone is a great drug for those with pain, or past addicts, but its also the worst drug you can become dependent upon because of the 6 month detox time which I can tell you first hand you would rather die by a slide of razor blades. I started taking methadone on the streets after I got hooked on oxys after a serious back injury and multiple surgeries. I then moved to North Carolina and started at a Clinic, yr later moved back to Florida and went to a doctor who prescribed me them at the time 40mg pills were still on the market, then the DEA took them off and the only one you could get were 10mg pills, so I went from getting 100 40mg to 400 10mg which sounds insane. Since I have worked my way down to only 180 10mg a month. Most people get methadone for pain bec...

my doctor told me today that he cant taper me off methadone because its against the law??wtf huh!! ## Are you seeing a general practitioner? If so, the real issue is that he can't continue to prescribe it, or handle tapering or anything for a chronic pain patient that requires ongoing treatment. Under the new laws, if you require long-term pain management, you will have to switch to a pain management specialist. A general practitioner can only prescribe such medications for a short period of time, such as right after someone has had surgery, or been in an accident. Learn more Methadone details here. Is it the only medication you're on?

I was being prescribed Suboxone, and my doctor just switched me to Subutex. I smoke pot, and I have tried the whole dissolving a Suboxone piece in clean urine thing (which doesn’t work). Now if I have someone with clean urine take a Subutex, and collect their urine how long will it take for the Subutex to be metabolized in order to show up on the drug test? For example: Said person takes a Subutex around 7-8pm and my test is at 4 pm the next day; will the Subutex have had enough time to show up, or not enough time to show up?

I am currently prescribed Subutex. I was just switched to Subutex from Suboxone due to cost. Anyway, I smoke pot, and my doctor does random drug testing. I have been through the whole “dissolving pieces in clean urine routine (doesn’t work), and have found a new plan. I get someone with clean urine to take a Suboxone or now it will be a Subutex, and collect their urine in the morning for the test later that afternoon. Since these tests are random I am tired of wasting Subs, and warming urine up when she doesn’t test me. It is just a waist. My question is if this person takes a Sub for me the night before, I collect their urine, and freeze the left over urine; will the Sub still be able to be detected 4 weeks later in a drug test? H...

Had a car crash two weeks ago. I broke my neck,shattered my left foot and had knee surgery three weeks ago. I have been on 60mg. Of methadone fora year now. Big issue finding a pain killer to help with acute pain. Doctor gave me fives, have to take 10 at a time. I need help here. ## What type of doctor are you seeing? If it's just a surgeon or general practitioner, he may not know how to properly manage pain, since that isn't his speciality. Learn more Methadone details here. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Under the newly enforced laws, if you're in chronic pain, you'll have to seek treatment from a pain management specialist, as regular doctors and surgeons will only be allow to provide pain medications for a very short period of time.

I take soboxone and tested positive for opiates, specifically oxicodone. ## Hi Crys, Suboxone testing false positive for Oxycodone is actually one of the most frequently reported mishaps here. If the doctor or lab isn't using an actual certified test, false positives can occur anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time. Which is pretty high, considering the outcome of these tests can effect people's lives so significantly. I would definitely attempt to fight back and get a certified test or just prove to them that their mistake is their mistake. You can find a reference stating that Suboxone causes false positives for Oxycodone via the link below: askdocweb.com/falsepositives.html I hope this helps! ## This post I'm replying to is pretty old but still...thank goodness - someone else...

im looking for information a drug you use after you come off methadone to stop your cravings. ## I'm not aware of anything that's used to treat Methadone cravings. Learn more Methadone details here. In most cases, it's frowned upon, because someone could end up trading one addiction for another. The medication you listed in the title isn't included in the prescription drug databases I checked. There are some such as Fluoxetine, which is an antidepressant. Learn more Fluoxetine details here. Are you currently on Methadone?

I had a ut, and put a bodgy away by Disolving suboxone in my sons urine. It came back as positive for morphine ... Does this sound right? I figured it would just show as suboxone... Now I have breached parole and looks like a holiday over Christmas ## Do you happen to know what type of test was done? If it was one of the instant read tests and you just dissolved Suboxone in the urine, then a false positive for something else really isn't too surprising. Learn more drug test details here. The main thing those tests are designed to read are the metabolites of the drug in your urine and they don't appear unless it's actually been processed through your body. Thus, it was detecting odd concentrations of the drug itself, with no metabolites and you confused the test.

how long does suboxone stay in your urine? ## Hi becky, I may not have a straight answer to your question but from what I could gather, Buprenorphine.com, a non-profit division of the U.S. National Institutes of health, states that Suboxone has a half-life of 24-60 hours. This denotes that the drug has the potential to control opioid cravings over that time span. Half-life here means that, say, 30 hours after ingesting Suboxone, half of the active amount will be gone. This doesn't mean that 30 hours later, though, the other half will be gone. At that point half of the remainder will be gone, then another half after the same time interval, and so on, until the drug is eliminated from the body. If you know the dosage you had, we can do the math to estimate how long it could've rem...

The pill is round and white. it has 119 on it w an upside down V or triangle that has a P in the middle of the triangle. Someone told me it was methadone. but I've never seen a done look like that. ## Hi mimi, The upside down V with a P in the middle, sounds like it may be a logo from Advanced Pharma. I would suggest contacting them directly (via the link below) to inquire about the logo you're describing: advancedpharma.net/Default.aspx I recently saw another post here in the forums where someone was describing the upside down V and P and it turned out to be from that manufacturer, so I have a hunch that it's advancedpharma, but I guess we'll see. Can you please post back after you hear from them?

I've been on Suboxone since April 2012. Last week I found out I am pregnant, and am about four weeks along. I called my doctor who prescribes the Suboxone, and she has left me with a difficult ultimatem. She has prescribed subutex for a week, and then my treatment is up to me. I either need to go to methadone clinic (which is too far for me to drive daily, and id have to win the lotto to afford it) or risk a miscarriage by not taking anything. She will only help me for a week. I've contacted the Suboxone hotline, and women can take subutex or methadone while pregnant with less risk than Suboxone. Where can I look.for another doctor? I feel like no one will want to treat me since my doc is basically throwing me out. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas of where I can look.for.h...
