Opioid Dependence Forums (Page 224)

I been on suboxone for a year and tried to cut back on my own and the suboxone doc found out by a drug test I didn't have enough in my system. He put me on probation, a drug test weekly and I missed a drug test and they won't call me back. Any suggestions? ## I am afraid that you really have no recourse, your only option is to try and find another doctor. There are federal laws that govern the use of Suboxone, which a doctor must follow, in order to get his waiver to prescribe it and that includes the regular testing to make sure someone is taking it, as prescribed. They gave you a chance and, by missing the drug test, you basically blew it. You agreed to certain terms and conditions, when you entered treatment. In addition, if you aren't in life threatening danger, then no ...

I have been on suboxone for 2 yrs now. I recently relapsed and started taking 3 7.5 vicodine a day. How long do i need to wait until I can start taking suboxone again without going in withdrawl ## Suboxone contains the narcotic Buprenorphine and Naloxone, which prevents the abuse of other opiates, while you are on it. This means that you have to be in full withdrawal, before starting Suboxone, otherwise the Naloxone will cause severe withdrawals. Are there any other questions?

My doctor issued a letter to all his subox patients this week saying that we have to up our usual monthly urine tests, to weekly!! And that its mandatory! PLUS, that we must go to either group or private therapy on a regular basis.Out of our own pockets of course. Is this true? He tried doing this a while back too. Same letter basically. It stated that if you don't comply, then you are kicked out of the program. It was never enforced & eventually never heard another word about it, until now that is. I have NEVER failed a single urine test & follow his instructions to the letter. I know it's really not supposed to be taken long term, but Subox not only stopped me from abusing opiates & took away any cravings I likely would of had. But it actually helped me with pain f...

I have been on Methadone for 1.5 years. I went on because I was pregnant and addicted to Oxycontin. My dose was 90 ml liquid Methadone diluted in O.J. I missed 3 days on accident, and got cut off (weekend, no dr). On Monday they gave me 30 ml again, then up to 40 ml, and held out at 50 ml for 3 months before allowing them to raise my dose. They pushed raising dose on my every time I saw my Councillor or Dr. I live in Canada and don't have to pay for Methadone. But when I missed 3 days, I tried to keep clean, I don't want that life again. I'm a mother now. When I was pregnant I puked my drink every time so my daughter was not born addicted,Thank God! Anyway, on day 3 I had to use, I felt 100x's worse sick/dying/pain/brain crazies etc... then I felt dope sick off any heroi...

my wifes in pain due to siotic nerve and herniated disc. shes has a bad reaction to opiates, like instant withdrawl, tramidol, not working,cabapentin , not working. 2ml suboxone, works on pain, bad reaction. question is does the whatever ingredient in cabapentin and suboxone clash? ## She may be allergic to opiates period, I am not a doctor, but I can tell you what my doctor gave me that made me able to tolerate opiates..There was a medication way back in the 1960's until the usless vicodin became popular..It was called synalgos DC and it consisted of dihydrocodeine (Sythetic codeine) aspirin, and promethazine to take away the allergic reaction of the opiate..It's not very popular anymore because of vicodin, but you can get it by having it compounded (Walgreens compounds medicat...

Help, I have been taking norspan 20mg for approx 15 months. Thus is for sacroiliitis and 3 herniated discs plus one completely squashed disc. Six months ago, I had the squashed disc removed and a spine fusion to correct a spondylothesis. Fusion at l5/s1. This is my 2nd fusion (aged 42) my first one at aged 13. I found lately the norspan isn't holding the pain so my doc changed me to durogesic 12mg. The first 5 days were insane, shivers, restlessness and unable to relax. I am now 2 weeks in and although most of the symptoms have passed, I still get incredibly restless in the evening (in my arms) and I can't relax which makes my pain worse. How long will this feeling last? Am I best giving up and going back to norspan? HelP ## Norspan contains the active ingredient Buprenorphine, ...

im on felony probation have violated twice due to failing drug test ihave been to rehab 4 times na alone obviously does not work for me tried methadone a few years ago it was a terrible failure for me i decided a couple of months ago to try suboxone it has been a tremendous help so far i have no desire to go back to go back to iv drugs and look forward to being off suboxone in time as well i took a urine test at my last probation appointment it showed a false positive for oxycodone so it was sent to a lab for confirmation. will the lab identify suboxone or just confirm no oxycodone? ## It really depends on what type of test they are using, most just check for the presence of narcotics, not a specific one, since they break down into very similar metabolites.

Hi...this is my first time posting here. I've recently been taking 6-9 30mg roxicets a day for about 8-9 months. My habit started off slowly like all do,I started taking a half a day and slowly increased as time went on due to my tolerance build up.12 days ago i stopped and went to suboxone and i,ve been taking 8mgs a day for the past 12 days...4mgs in the morning and 4mgs at night. I'm ready to quit everything because I've been on subs before and I know how bad the withdrawal is from being on them long term.My question is how bad should my w/d be from only 12 days of usage...last time i was on subs for little over a year for a bad oxy habit and the w/d were an absolute nightmare:insomnia for a week extreme anxiety and crazy restless leg syndrome not to mention the unbearabl...
