I'm on probation and was wondering if its legal to go to a methadone clinic to get off of subutex? Would the state tell my po i was coming there or would i get in trouble at all? I need to get off this subutex. ## Methadone will show up on a drug screen so they will know that away. Do they already know you are taking subutex? I guess they do if yu have to drop for them right.? So i would jjus tell my po im swithching....but normally once on methadone yu switch to suboxone when tapering.

I have been on methadone treatment for about 2 years. I originally started going to a clinic and took the liquid. I was at about 200 mg per dose. I couldn't keep going to the clinic, and keep a steady job. I ended up finding a pain management doctor that prescribed me the pill form. We worked out a plan to taper down because methadone is just not good if you want to have energy, an increased libido, sweat, and all the lovely other symptoms. I ended up tapering down to about 60 mg per day then my doctor decided that he wanted me to switch from methadone to subutex. So, we made a plan to get down another 30 mg. I took the 30 mg for a week, then he told me he was ready to prescribe the subutex. My last dose of methadone was Friday morning at 6 a.m. I ended up making it 56 hours before ...

I am allergic to sulfur and subutex in small doses is causing me to have reactions like I do when I have come in contact with sulfur. ## Does subutex have small parts of sulfa qualities in it like the steroid methylprednisolone has in it? ## Are you allergic to sulfa, or sulfur? They are not actually the same. What types of symptoms are you experiencing? The FDA warns that an allergic reaction to a medication usually includes symptoms like swelling, breathing issues, itching, and hives. However, the typical side effects of Subutex may include nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Can you please post back with more details?

Here I go. I take 50mg of methadone a day and 2 4 mg of dilaudid every 6 hours for breakthough pain. Well had a bad time. I was just diagnosed with a new painful disease called gout in my hands and feet. Well I am going to be out for 2 days of dilaudid. Will my methadone help me if I start having withdrawals from not having my dilaudid? Only going to be 2 days. I also take ativan 0.5 and phenergan 25mg for nausea. I need to know. Dont want to have a panic attack. Thank you. ## Hello, Darlene! How are you doing? Has there been any change? There is a risk of withdrawal, but we are all different, so there is no way to be certain. The FDA lists the typical withdrawal effects as possibly including nausea, fever, chills, rebound pain, diarrhea, and depression. Do you have any idea what has ca...

What are the effects when you mix Suboxone, Topiramate 50 mg (C 123 pill imprint) and Lyrica together? I think I have been poisoned. ## What issues are you experiencing that you are causing you to think this? They can cause some issues, when taken together, according to FDA reports, such as respiratory depression, severe sedation, and coma, but they can be taken, together, as long as your doctor is monitoring you regularly. Are you on any other medications? Topiramate NDC: 69097-0123

I just got off 8mg suboxone strip a day and now my insurance won't cover any because of my rise in copay, I was just wondering is there any difference in the, an 415's and the films besides being slower to kick in and dissolve? I took 2mgs off a, an 415 . And not working near as well.. ## Other than what you mentioned about the tablets potentially being slower to kick in and dissolve, the only difference I'm aware of is the list of inert ingredients used in the AN 415 (Amneal Pharma) tablet, which reportedly contains the following set of binder/fillers: acesulfame potassium + citric acid anhydrous + FD & C Yellow No. 6 + lactose monohydrate + magnesium stearate + mannitol + povidone + sodium citrate + corn starch. From my experience, I believe a number of these fillers c...

little round white pill arrow sign pointing to the right on one side imprint number 8 on the other side ## Hi, Smokey! How are you? This is actually a generic for an 8mg Subutex tablet, it's a sublingual that's meant to be dissolved under your tongue. The difference is that the Subutex and its generics don't contain Naloxone, they only contain the Buprenorphine. Learn more Subutex details here. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have a white pill that has z10 on one side and nothing on the otherside please help me can not find it at all ## So the naloxone is an opioid blocker? An is there naloxone in the small white pill that h...

I have been on a suboxone program for the past 4 years through a Dr. from another city. My family doctor recently started the program and I went to him for a consultation because he's right around the cormer from my house. I was honest with him in letting him know I was currently on a program and that I did not need a perscription that day (I still had about a week left from my other doctor). When I went back for my appointment, they told me that I wasn't acceped to their program. I didn't really think anything of it because I could still go to my other doctor even though he was far away. Well then my original doctor kicked me off of the program! And not only that, he accused me of doctor shopping and not taking my pills, but selling them! I have taken my pills faithfully ev...

Hello im on methadone,i have been for 6 years. ive been on the internet like crazy trying to find the names and addresses an phone numbers of methadone clinics that give us the option between methadone pills(wafers)or 10mg tablets or liquid. Ive been on the liquid and i absolutely hate it,it dont diges good at all,all clinics should give an option considering between the pill form an liquid form,not everyones body is the same i know my body, and it doesn't metabolize the liquid like the other peoples. Will someone help me find one of the clinics in saginaw or lansing area michigan thanx for listening ## Hi, Rachelle! Sorry about the issues that you're having. However, from what I know, most clinics don't offer a choice. The reason that most use the liquid is when someone is ...

I have been taking 32 mg suboxone/subutex for over a year. I switched to Methadone four days ago. I had my fourth dose of methadone today...50 mg. I feel like I’m in at least partial withdrawal, even though it’s only been 12 hours. There’s not much methadone built up in my system, so would it be safe to take subs now? I feel lousy, but I’m terrified of precipitated withdrawals. I’m guessing that wouldn’t happen, because the methadone hasn’t had a chance to build up in my system. Any advice would be so appreciated! I’m taking my recovery seriously, and I don’t want to relapse, which is tempting right now. Thank you so much in advance for any advice you might have. ## That's an awful high dose of Suboxone! Were you having issues wi...

I'm looking for a suboxone dr accepting new patients as well as Medicaid in south central Mississippi ## If you are on a health plan, call them or you can call your state medicaid office. You can also put mississippi medicaid AND suboxone physicians in your search bar. But, be sure and call and ask if a certain dr does accepts Mississippi Medicaid for treating patients with suboxone. ## Hello, Susan! How are you? There is a search feature at the website, Suboxone.com click here, which you can use to search by zip code for doctors in your area that treat with it. Results also include contact information, so you can call them to see if they accept Medicaid. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, ...

I'm going through it, 29yrs old. Tried it one time since 2011. I'm tired and want to do it. Thanks ## It depends how much Suboxone you've been taking each day and how long you've been taking it. Can you please post back with more details? Has your doctor given you a tapering schedule? The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addition, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## I just wanted to take a moment to say. I've been reading all this string of info and I keep going back to the same thought. I was prescribed Hydrocodone for Severe TMJ & TMD etc. In other words my jaw is really messed up. I won't bore you wit...

I am trying to find a doctor in Salem, Oregon who will do a pain contract for pain management for multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, failed back surgery syndrome, brachioplexus neuropathy and palsy, to get my quality of life back. I was on MS Contin 30 mg x 3 and Oxycodone 5 mg for breakthrough. ## Hi, If you're wanting to get on Suboxone call Wellness And Recovery at 503-589-0539 in Salem, Oregon. They're the only clinic licensed to prescribe Suboxone for pain. It's $200 cash every month though. They don't take any insurance. They will give you a receipt that you can turn into your insurance to see if they will reimburse you. The doctors name is Dr. Hellman. Their are lots of reviews of her online, all good.

my dr just put me on methadone hcl 5-325 for a 3 level back fusion and was wondering if this causes bad heartburn?

Just got done at my doctor's appt. Went to fill my script and got these new pills with "m 924" printed on one side. I looked up the pills and they're subutex. Im just wondering if anyone has an opinion about them (like or dislike more or less than the 54/411 ones)? ## Hi Adam, In response to your question about liking/disliking one particular version of subutex vs another, I think the answer is subjective to each individual based on a wide variety of differentiating and underlying factors such as body chemistry, age, weight, other medications being taken at the same time, metabolism (how well one absorbs different binders/fillers), etc... Given this information, my feelings are that the only way to truly know which one your body prefers is to give them each a trial run, ...

Struggled with severe migraines since childhood. Double Visio, nausea, was on imitrex, torodol, topaz, too many yo name. Finally found relief with generic hydro of one, but then decided to manage everything by switching to suboxone. Since the pain factor is not effected one way or another, a friend had mentioned her chronic pain controlled by methadone. Don’t know where in Columbia SC to find a doctor or if this is some place you have to visit everyday. That would be expensive gas and interfere with my career.

My Pain Med Doctor Just Changed my pain med.From Nucynta And Put Me On Methadone 10mg #180. Problem Is I Can Not Find a pharmacy in this area that will fill it. I was gettting Nucynta from one pharmacy but they will not fill the methadone because they say I need to be on a time released narcotic as well as the methadone and he would not fill it as written. Any Suggestions? I live in North Port Florida. ## I'm trying to make sense of what your pharmacist told you about having to take an additional narcotic while on Methadone, when part of the purpose of Methadone use is to help one safely get off a narcotic drug. Sounds to me like he's not being completely honest with you. In any case, have you considered opting for an online pharmacy that can ship you your meds? If so, I would r...

I am on subutex but my boyfriend gets suboxone strips n always wants a few of mine so I give em to him n he gives me strips back in return. My Dr has a drug screen that is a mile long. He was even able to tell when I took cilotipin when I'm already on xanax so I guess my question is will the lab be able to tell I've been taking strips as well? BTW he as always checks my levels n near the last few days before I see my Dr I only have enough to take 2-4mgs n I'm on 12mgs. Plz help my Dr appt is coming up real soon. ## Klonopins and xanax are two different drugs but treat the same thing, but I was curious to see if the suboxone showed up? ## Suboxone has a medication called Nalaxone in it. Subutex does not have Nalaxone so yes, they can tell the difference because the body would...
