I took a 8mg Suboxone 48 hours ago. I have a 60mg morphine to take for pain. Will the effects of the morphine work or do I need to wait longer? ## Hello, Shantastic! How are you? It usually takes about 72 hours, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, 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? ## Yeah in theory it's supposed to last 72 hours, but that's the bupronorphine. The naloxone only lasts for a couple of hours. The bupe lasts longer to keep your tolerance up and your opiate receptors "busy" so other opiates will (again in theory) not have anything to bind to, making them ineffective...

I am on my way to opiate addiction, i want to use suboxone to detox and try and kick the habit. ## Hello, Og! How are you? There is a search feature on the Suboxone website that allows you to search for a doctor in your area by zip code, their contact information will be included, so you can call to see if they are taking new patients. You can find it at Suboxone.com. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate 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? ## Be patient with yourself. Whatever you do NEVER LET THOSE DEATH CLINICS TALK YOU INTO METHADONE. I lost my daughter as she died from that poison...

Ok, I'm on suboxone (two 8 milligram pills per day). I have to pass a drug test but have suboxone show up. I'm using a mask drink to cover up THC. How can I still get the suboxone to show up? ## Take a sub put in the urine and shake it around till it dissolves then your good ## Do NOT put suboxone in your urine it WILL test POSITIVE for OPIATES. Suboxone is a synthetic opiate (the bupe part at least) and when processing through your system it like neutralizes or something but either way it processes and never tests positive for opiates UNLESS you do what girl below said to do, put the sub itself in urine. It obviously does not metabolize! My doctor is the one who informed me of this not some Jane Doe on the internet. ## They don't work, what's in your system will show up...

I go to a methadone program and have for about 4 years. I've recently had the flu which caused me to vomit up my methadone (I get 5 take home bottles per week). Tried taking another bottle and threw up again. I'm feeling sick from not taking it so I took a 60 mg morphine sulfate pill. Will this help at all? ## It may help stave off the worst of the withdrawals you could experience, since it is also a narcotic. However, before doing so in the future, you really should call the doctor or clinic you are working with and get their advice, first. Taking another narcotic may not be approved and might get you kicked out of the Methadone program. How are you feeling now? ## Because of a heart problem my wife was taken off 150 mg per day immediately and it was replaced by morphine. Dr. s...

My insurance is no longer covering my suboxone or Zubsolv. I started taking it to get off of all opiates and narcotics, but it helps with chronic back pain from a botched back surgery. I can't afford the hundred dollar prices. Does anyone know of something similar that doesn't cost so much? I only have til July 1st to find something. Please help, thank you. ## Hi Elizabeth! I know they make a generic form of the suboxone pill form. That would b the cheapest. They haven't come out with generic films yet. Also, u can try talking 2 your Dr about any discount programs. Sometimes, they even have discount coupons. 2 help out. They have them here in RI. R u eligible 4 any kind of health insurance? Or do u already have insurance? ## I have ins. they just suck.

Looking for a pharmacy in Jacksonville that has the 54/411 Subutex. I was getting them from Walmart but they went from $170 to $298. I get the small white ones with the arrow on them now but I don't think they are as good as the other. Any help would be appreciated. ## Hello Dylan, Sorry to hear about the price hike of your medicine. Unfortunately this is a rather tricky question to answer for a few reasons. Pharmacies do not like to advertise what brands/generics they carry as it raises their chances of being targeted by thieves who are looking to steal specific pills. This results in pharmacies being selective with how they give out information. Some pharmacies will tell you over the phone or in person but most will require you to be there in person with a prescription for that ty...

I took a 10 mg methadone 7 hrs ago. I have 20 mg Adderall, and 1 mg xanax. I have a lot to get done and I want to take a quarter of the adderall and half a xanax. I don't want to act weird or feel sick. Ive taken the adderall before but didn't have anything with it and took half and it had me stuck on the couch forever and I couldn't eat. One time I took half of the blue xanax and half the adderall and could function find. I need help. ## The FDA does warn that mixing them together could cause increased side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, accelerated heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and nervousness. Has your doctor prescribed this combination? It is best to be extremely cautious, due to the fact that you are mixing depressants, with a stimulant, which has been known...

Hello my name is kev. I have been consuming about 3 to 6 mg of Subutex daily for about 7 months. I'm very eager to eliminate the Subutex and start on these Methadone. Is it safe to consume Methadone 20 mgs the day after taking about 3 mgs of Subutex? I heard Suboxone was the dangerous one, not Subutex and I also heard the taking Methadone after Subutex is safe apposed to Methadone to Subutex. Any answers would be highly appreciated. Thank you. ## People are just stupid. The buprenorphine is what keeps you from feeling high on other full opiates. The naloxone is only in the suboxone to keep you from misusing the drug. If taken properly the naloxone will not affect you. noone seems to understand that subutex is just as useful for opiate w/d as suboxone and it is the active ingredient ...

Hello everyone. I'm from San Diego, CA. I've been on Methadone for 3.5 years now. I'm on 80mg daily. I was on the pill form of Methadone for most of my stay at the clinic. They were METHADONE DISKETTES 40MG, they also had DOLOPHINE 5MG and 10MG. Those worked amazing for me, they actually weren't even generic, those are Brand name Methadone. So over 6 months ago, they banned the tablets and forced every patient who were on tablets to liquid Methadone. Ever since the switch, I've been depressed and most of the time I don't even want to leave the house. I was the complete opposite on tablets. Happy, wanting to do anything and everything, etc. So it's definitely impacting my life, negatively. I DON'T want to raise my dose, because I know 80mg is my stable dos...

I take suboxone from my doc and have to take a urine test while being watched - well this time I messed up & took xanax. Is there any way to get the Xanax out of my system and still show the required suboxone in my system? I have 4 days. Is it possible? ## I think Xanax stay in for like 3 to 4 days, but if you drink a lot of water too u should be ok. ## Yes, just drink as much water as possible to get the benzo out of your system and then keep taking the suboxone up until you take the test. ## Mr dr did the same, a random drug test..He was doing it to the patients only on Subutex ( assume cus u can still abuse other opiates while on it) I had xanax in my system, my father had passed away and my aunt gave me one, I told him the truth...He told me I wud need to have a prescrption, so ...

Need a doctor to prescribe, not a methadone clinic. I currently exhausted all in the surrounding areas. Very important. Anywhere in central AR. ## Hello, Susan! How are you? I'm sorry, but if you've already gone to a Methadone clinic, at any point, then a regular doctor will not be able to prescribe it for you. It would be against the law for them to do so, so a clinic is your only option. 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. Can anyone suggest a good one in that area? ## U can still get a doc just dnt say u went to a clinic or say that was ur only option cause of the pain and when they found out u take them for pain they will get rid of u cause a c...

How can you tell what milligram suboxone wax squares are by color? I have a pink on and need to know what to talk to my doctor about. I have searched and searched and I don't know what milligrams they come in and I don't know how to split it up. ## That I am aware of, there's no such thing as a blue suboxone strip - the packaging is blue, but the strips are typically orange although I have heard of white ones. The only ones that i know for a fact are the orange strips. Sometimes the pills are white, but never blue and im almost positive that blue suboxone strips no longer exist. ## Hello Barbie, I really won't be able to give you accurate information with only knowing the color of the suboxone, what would help me is knowing the imprint on the pill. Would you be able to g...

Anyone know any private doctors that WILL write methadone for sure? In the east Tennessee area?

Is there any interaction with essential oils and suboxone?? Since I have been using the oils along with probiotics, it seems as if the half life of the suboxone does not last as long, and I thing that may be due to the detoxing effects of both probiotics and essential oils. I know you may not know since these two detoxers are not approved by BIG FARMA, which I believe is tainted anyway, but thank you for your time and reading my?? ## Suboxone and rexulti interactions if taken together ## Hello, I'm not sure about the actual interaction between the suboxone itself as there doesn't seem to be a solid case study done on this but I was able to find that there was at least one case study done by the National Institute of Health that shows a direct relationship between decreased opioi...

Hello. I am desperate for some advice tonight so thought I would post here. My boyfriend has taken suboxone on his own in the past and quit oxycodone and did fine. This time around he was taking about 40 mg methadone per day. He waited about 50 hrs before starting the Buprenorphine. He at first took a quarter and then a half and couldn't really tell a difference so we figured since it wasn't worse he must not be getting precipitated withdrawals. So this evening he has been feeling really awful but it isn't helping him to take buprenorphine. He has taken about 2 throughout the day. He is very restless and miserable. He can't sleep and is in a lot of withdrawal. My question is if it was from precipitated withdrawals wouldn't this have happened earlier in the day when h...

My daughter has been on suboxone for 4 years her Dr got arrested need her to find a dr ## Have her sign up at NAABT.ORG, it's a dr match site for this.

I need to know what Methadone syrup looks and smells like. I have a bottle of syrup and am not sure if it is Methadone or Codeine. ## Hello Lee, Do you have a brand for your syrup? Methadone syrup comes in different colors depending on strength and brands so I would need to know that information to give you an accurate answer. Otherwise you would need to have it taken to a pharmacy to see if they could identify the liquid for you.

I have been taken 2 8mg suboxone strips a day for 2 years and my ins won't pay now and they told me about this new one called zubsolv...I'm thinking of switching has anybody taken it and it worked cuz I'm scared of goin from something that works to something that don't ## Hello, Justin! How are you? Zubsolv contains the exact same ingredients as Suboxone. Buprenorphine coupled with Naloxone, both are most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so as long as you doctor approves, you should be able to make a smooth switch. The FDA lists this medication as being 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? ## FDA approve...

I am currently going to a pain clinic. I ran out of oxycodone and I have some suboxone from a previous doctor (I went to suboxone doctor about 9 months ago). I don't want to suffer withdrawals, so I took a suboxone. HOW LONG WILL THE SUBOXONE SHOW UP FOR IN A URINE SPECIMEN??? They will drug test me when I go back to my current pain clinic doctor and I don't want the suboxone to show up. I have an oxycodone pill that I can take right before I goto the pain clininc for my monthly visit. I am just worried that the suboxone will also show up in my urine! ## You should be fine - The standard tests do not check for Suboxone because it is not a commonly 'abused' drug (it is not readily available like Vicodin, Oxycodone, Xanax and other drugs which are used recreationally). I c...

I'm looking for a pharmacy that can fill a prescription for Subutex near Jamestown TN. I can't find one around here that does. ## Hello Crystal, Unfortunately this is going to be a rather difficult issue to resolve. The reason for this is because pharmacies will often not tell you over the phone what kind of prescription medication they carry, this is to avoid aiding criminals who are attempting to steal certain drugs. This means that you will need to physically visit each location to see if they carry what you are looking for. In addition, without having your prescription in hand they might not tell you even if you are there in person, again to avoid giving criminals easy information. Other users have claimed that smaller mom and pop type pharmacies tend to be more willing to g...
