it was supposed to be a generic suboxone but when i took it it tasted chalkey but had a sorda sweet taste to it but when in affect it made me so dizzy i couldnt stand up i was so sick i had to lay down ## Hi Sam, Sorry to hear about your experience with this "unknown pill". Have you had this reaction to Suboxone in the past or is this your first time taking it? I also have to wonder if you even know whether or not this is in fact a generic/brand Suboxone tablet, judging from how you mentioned that it was "supposed to be" a generic version of it? I don't think anyone here would suggest risking your life taking unknown pills from unreliable sources, so when you do, you also have to face the consequences of your actions. I do hope you get well soon...but I also hope tha...

I took an 8mg suboxone strip this morning around 8 am and im still in withdrawal and it is now 5:30. Can i take a oxycodone without throwing myself into hard withdrawal? I had different people tell me different things. ## Hi tara, Timing is really going to vary for each individual, so that's probably why you keep hearing different feedback. However my opinion based on the reviews I'm seeing here on MedsChat is that it might be a good idea to wait at least a few days after taking the Subuxone before having an opiate like Oxycodone. I think this is largely due to Buprenorphine's long half life of 24 - 60 hours, as reported by samhsa.gov. So as long as the Suboxone is still active in your body, that seems to me like the best way to determine whether it's ok take Oxycodone o...

Will my doctor be able to tell the difference between suboxone and subutex on a lab drug test? I'm on suboxone but worry about them finding the subutex I took when I ran out. Please help. Also, I keep peeing dirty for benzodiazepine but I take baclofen - Could that be the cause?

Is narco stronger than methadone ## Hi crank, Did you mean Norco perhaps? Based on my research, patients using Methadone have reported it as being much stronger than Hydrocodone, which is combined with Acetaminophen in Norco. For example, some state that (10 mg) of Methadone give a similar effect as a (30 mg) or (40 mg) Hydrocodone. The problem with Methadone is the withdrawal process, it can be much more painful than any other withdrawal process. This is not going to be the case with every patient, since everyone reacts to medication differently. Your doctor should able to provide the appropriate pain medication based on your medical history and current symptoms.

I'm on 108 mgs of methadone and 3mg's a day of klonapin. I want to start to take addium but don't know if they will mix without any side affects. ## From what I could gather, Addium reportedly contains the following set of ingredients: Caffeine GABA Bacopa Monnieri Alpha GPC L-Theanine Phosphatidylserine L-Tyrosine Vinpocetine Huperzine A According to umm.edu, there ARE drug interactions between Caffeine and Klonopin, stating that Caffeine may inhibit the effects of Klonopin, causing it to not work as well. They also go on to note that taking Klonopin with Methadone can result in serious side effects, such as dizziness, confusion, lack of coordination, excessive tiredness, etc. Outside of that, Phosphatidylserine + L-Tyrosine do not list any interactions with Methadone or Kl...

hi, I'm 21 years old and got into the habit of shooting up heroine. I was wondering how long it would take for the withdraw symptoms to go away if I use soboxone to get off of the heroin. I was doing suboxone before and actually got addicted to that also. Nd then I couldn't get any suboxin so I was really sick nd I ended up getting heroin. I only did heroine for about 2 weeks. I was wondering how long I should take the suboxone to get clean from the h. I want to quit everything. I want to live my life the way it was supposed to be lived. Free of drugs. So if anyone could let me know how long I should do the subs before I quit them so I won't withdrawal so bad. Thank you for your time. ## Suboxone contains the active ingredient Buprenorphine and Naloxone, so if it is taken, b...

I have been taking 60mg of Morphine daily for a year. This past week I took 3-4 8mg Dilaudids daily. Last night I went back to 60 mg Morphine. This morning I took 6mg of Suboxone and was in withdrawal 20 minutes later. I had to take a 1 mg Xanax and fell asleep. I am worried about tomorrow. I have no more Subs but I do have a 60mg Morphine. How long should I wait to take the Morphine? ## Go see a Doctor and stay on suboxone if you wish to turn your life around. You got sick on suboxone as you took it way too soon after taking morphine and put yourself into precipitated withdrawal. Combining opiates with xanax puts you at much higher risk of overdose and death.

I have been running low on my pain meds the past several months. Last month I took 4 mg suboxone on Sunday and it showed up positive on urine test on Thursday. This month some of my meds were stolen and I ran out even earlier. I got dope sick and took half of an 8mg strip of suboxone. I took 2 mg one evening and another 2 mg the next morning. I have my monthly appointment at pain management clinic this Wednesday morning (15 days after the last 2 mg suboxone taken). If I test positive for suboxone this time they will kick me out of program.

I've been on methadone now for about 5 months. It's a pretty low dose. I also unfortunately top it up with alot of codeine. I have a really great doctor and team who are doing their best to help me and I am a difficult client! Anyway, long story short, the last 6 weeks or so I am in alot of pain at night time. I mean alot. It's extreme cramping and muscle pain. It lasts into the morning and I walk badly for the first hour or so after getting up. I'm plagued with nightmares too. I think I suffer from ptsd. I thought maybe the nightmares are causing anxiety and tension leading to body cramping? Does any one here know what is wrong or am I alone ## Methadone does not cause muscle cramps.

I am in Indianapolis. Is it hard to find a doctor here to prescribe suboxone? I am having a hard time finding a doctor. I have been on pain killers for years and not only want to get off them but my doctor and the whole practice is starting to deny any prescriptions for narcotics which seems to be the norm here now. I have legit pain but I would rather deal with it then be treated like a drug addict by doctors! I have tried tapering and cold turkey. I think subs are the way to go. My friend stopped using her medication with the help of subs. Can someone please give me info or help on this subject? ## Hello, Inindy! How are you?

Hello, I have been taking about 1 mg of suboxone off and on since February (about 2 months). I was dealing with withdrawals from Percocet so I took the Sub to help temporarily. I quit the Sub last Monday (8 days ago) but over the weekend the pain and emotional aspect of quitting became basically unbearable. So I took about 20 mg of Percocet on Friday/Saturday split up. My question is, how long should I wait to see my primary care physician to request a new prescription for my Xanax? I believe I will have to do a UA the day I see him, and I am absolutely not supposed to have either Sub or Percocet in my system. That's why I quit the Sub cold turkey 8 days ago. Everything I am reading says Percs will last about 5 days max? And Sub is a little more confusing. Basically, I've got an...

I can somewhat see part of the last number of the 3 on the bottom which looks to be a 6? Anybody kno of any subutex like this?

Plz help. I want to stop taking heroin...I have 17 8mg/2mg suboxone strips...I can only go about 12 hours without doin H before I want to give in and use..would I be ok taking half a strip 12 hours after my last shot, then the other half a couple hours after?

I have been doin this amount 4-5 times a day for 2 years..I know my tolerance is high.. ## The best way is to do it slow. Wait as long as u can (24hrs) and take a sub.
