Suboxone 8mg/2mg And Roxicodone 30's (Page 11)
(Newest replies first)

I am currently taking Roxicodone 30's each day. I have suboxone 8mg/2mg to help get off of these. I know the suboxones are the best pill made to help with the withdrawals but I'm wondering if for the firsrt 3 to 5 days when I'm having trouble sleeping and feeling clammy, if i should take like half of a Roxicodone 30 (which i have done in the past), as it helps me to sleep and takes away the clammy feeling? Any other suggestions that you may have? Thanks to anyone answering this for me.

Wow this seems like an incredible and supportive community!
I am a 25/female. I was addicted to opiates for about a yr, from a prescription i got for a back injury while skiing. Doc suggested i go on suboxone but never really gave me much info, or a 'stop-by' date. Like a trusting patient i just stayed on suboxone, he prescribed 16mg a day for a month, and since i only really needed 2mg a day the strips lasted me forever. I am now addicted to suboxone! I tried to stop but i cant, I start to feel all panicky my heart beats faster, i get very edgy and frustrated. Thats just when i miss ONE dose. If i try to miss 2 it gets worse and i know if i miss more it will be unbearable. I'm not strong enough to go cold turkey and just stop from one day to another. I was also never addicted to opiates for pleasure, so i dont need to be on suboxone and the doctor shouldve given me a plan of action not just 16mg a day (which is a huge amount, i've never taken more than 2mg a day!)
Basically, i'm asking for help, has anyone gone through suboxone detox, do any of you have any tips or info on how to get off, how to taper slowly so there's no crazy withdrawals? Please help. Thank u so much and i wish each and every one of u good luck on ur journeys!!

sandrea go to a suboxone dr.... they will put you on the right dose! do it asap. I have 2 small kids too. I know awful you feel I have been there. trust me going to a suboxone dr is the light at the end of the tunnel it will help you get out of bed and not think about drugs. I personally would stay on the subs until you feel you can manage with out them. I have been on them for 2 years it has changed my life, Ive said it a million times on here. b/c I cant even imangine being on pills anymore.. I don't even think about it anymore. is there anyway you can let maybe a grandmother or aunt watch your kids for 5 days so you can go to detox? detox will give you subs and then wean you off them before you go home, hopefully you can find a dr soon b/c there is usually a long waiting list... and what state do you live in???

first off you should go to a dr and get an exact dose from them a friend of mine takes 2mg a day total another friend takes 8mgs a day. I take 16mg a day I take 2 8mg strips everyday and have for the last 2 years. its all how you look at it. I do not ever get sick im never looking for money to get my next fix. Im not a screw up and I have already hit rock bottom when I was using pills, now I go to my sub dr everymonth get my script of subs, and take them as prescribed. I have a full time job a husband and 2 little girls, I can say that my life is finally back to normal being on sub maintaince .. like I said before there is a huge difference between being an addict and being dependent... if you are calling everybody you know trying to pawn whatever you got just to keep from getting sick then you need to go on suboxone or methadone. if you don't have a heavy problem then you could prob just take suboxone to detox for 5 days then be done with it.. but be strong and don't ever take a pill or sub again.....if you cant stay away from pills then you decide if being on subs is the right decision for you. because for me I don't mind taking subs everyday.. I do not get f***ed up from them at all anymore but it keeps opiates out of my body and keeps me motivated and drug free.. Everyone's different!

yeah I would I go to a dr and I get 60 a month... 2 a day.. if you don't get a script for them you are just going to be going back and forth with subs and oxy.. so its best to keep your self on the subs. or just take them to detox yourself and be done with the pills period. only the strongest can do that. hope your one of them b/c im certainly not!

tough to say.. My addiction to oxys was really bad I was taking about 8 30s a day for a long time. ive been on subs for 2 years. I did try to wean my self off them last year. I was really sick,, some drs say you should only stay on subs for 5 to 6 days tops just to detox. which is what I should of done. but after my detox the first shot I had at some 30s I did them so I decided to stay on sub maintaince . it works miracles and I don't think about getting high and it helps me taking care of my family... so as my drs says. there is a big difference between addicted and dependent ...

DON'T U EVER FEEL BAD FOR DOING SOMETHING THAT HELPS YOU KEEP UR KIDS AND HUSBAND AND FAMILY TOGETHER. there is nothing at all wrong with that. Yes pain mgmt.,gives them to pain patients. don't be deceived, again I said earlier it is a mind thing, if you think they don't help with pain, then they won't. If you think ur trading drugs and u have ur mind set on it, then yes u will be becuz ur mind will play tricks on you, also the devil wants u to believe ur doing wrong. Your not. Just be okay and raise your kids. Everything will work out. I promise just keep it up girl. Ill be praying....Jonie

just starting what? the suboxon?? I think it is the best thing you can do for yourself it works great for me, I rarely have cravings.and im never sick anymore b/c I cant get my next 6 30s.. but im a mother now and I decided to do this for myself and my family.... at first you feel a little buzz off them, but that soon dies out rather fast.. but they will help keep you clean, A lot of people say oh you are just exchanging 1 drug for something else. ignore that b/c this is the best thing you could do for your self, I take 2 A day 1 when I wake up and the next around 5 or 6.. thank god for suboxone it saved me

U can just be careful, withdrawal when taken to soon can occur. U shouldn't feel to clamy, but sometimes its a mind over matter thing so knowing that you have then there is a good thing. But you will start to feel better the quiker u get the subs in your system. I will be praying.
