Suboxone 8mg/2mg And Roxicodone 30's (Page 14)
(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.

Your stupid and have no compassion, these people, these people have a problem and they are trying to seek help from others that are going through same thing, evidently you have never had a drug problem, because if you did you would know how seroius it is, you are an inconsiderate and everyone gets what they deserve, you'll have yours coming you jerk

My primary Dr. prescribed the suboxine for me with no problem. If your doctor won't any nurse that is trained for addiction will. I took 3 percocets a day, they gave me 8mg of suboxine film to take. I just kept in mind that this will be another to wean off. The first day 1 took 1 8mg fil, it mad me so very dizzy, same for day two. On the third day i called my doctor's office explaing how i felt and i was told to take only half, i took a third. The 4th day i didn't take any suboxine to see how i would do, I was fine, still no craving for any percocets. I have'nt taken and suboxine or percocets and this is my 9th day clean and i feel fine, now i have to start working on getting rid of my depression, then smoking. I was told to conquer one at a time and that is what I plan to do. I just want everyone that wants to get off percocets and can't seem to go cold turkey, suboxine is the way to go, if I did it anyone can. Thank you up above and good luck to all of you!

HI Pleasehelp... My question is this. What kind of a Dr will prescribe Suboxone? I am going to a Pain Mgmt Dr and they have me on 15mg oxy 4x a day but I am taking much more than that because your body builds up a tolerance and then you need more and more. Will they make you go into rehab or will a Dr just prescribe Suboxone for you? You are a true angel on here to all of us who have questions. Thank You!!

You won't die from the klonopin with the subs- but it's a benzo and benzos & subs should only be mixed under strict drs care.

Did a dr really put you on subs for a 3 perc per day habit? That's the equivalent of taking an armored tank with fully loaded automatic weapons to a fist fight. Unbelievable.

They think I'm taking 3 a day but really I only take the suboxone when I'm feeling a craving and either don't have the money or really am trying to quit that day. I'm trying to stay positive but even today didn't go so well so it's gonna be a long road. I did buy a 21 day journal that helps you make or break a habit.. but that's irrelevant.. maybe it'll help though.

thank you for replying

Jen,

Stop the need. It is hard decision to make, but the longer u wait, the worse it will be. I'm 2 months clean on pills 8 a day plus 4 80s a day as well, and 8 days off subs and I feel about 80 % normal. Do not stay on subbs for more than 3-4 weeks or ur body will be addicted to the subs as well. It's a hard road, but well with the peace of mind. Not having to depend on a drug just to get out of bed, priceless. Also talk to a Dr. About a 4 week taper program. I did 6 weeks but I was not well informed. I hope this helps

I'm 20/f and I've been prescribed suboxone for about 2 months now. They work well when I'm withdrawing but my problem is telling myself that because I have the suboxone for the withdraws that it's okay to still take roxy 30's. I'm having trouble convincing myself that I can be happy without them. I'm very depressed and take wellbutrin for that but still my life feels empty without taking blues. I want to get out of this mindset so bad but I don't even feel like myself unless I'm high. I've read so much about how it just ruins your life but thinking about not taking them makes me anxious and thinking about taking them makes me feel guilty. I don't know what to do.. any suggestions?

Busybee,

You were taking 2 roxy's a day and now you're taking subs? Did a dr prescribe that or are you doing it on your own? I'm just curious.

What are "restless legs tablets"? Restless leg syndrome SUCKS- I would've killed for something that helped with them when I was going thru this. I'm interested to find out what they are.

I am on day 3 detox I was doing about two blues a day for about two weeks and have been taking some sort of pain killer dose every day for months maybe even a year and I just got some subs bc I needed to feel like myself I was desperate for something to calm me down I've been coping with sleep by taking vitamins around the clock and I feel so much better but today is day 3 since I've cut cold turkey and I don't ever want to touch that stuff again I am right with you when I say I could have a free box of Roxie's and not be tempted bc I'm so happy to see this poison slowly leave my system it has been really hard and I have been taking vitamins around the clock including anti stress vitamins and restless leg tablets as well as melatonin and have gotten a glorious amount of sleep with some Ganja to help as well! I feel better every day I know Ihave a long way to go but I just need some advice in terms of taking the suboxone and Xanax I have very smal doses only .5 mg when my heart races and I feel anxiety and the subs I have only had pieces of one once per day I wanted to stop taking them today but I suffer from severe back pain and feel I need to get my body back to health and I Need more info on how to take these things to get my body back to full health. I'm so happy to hear your doing well and f there is any advice you have please respond I will appreciate it thank u!!!

Hello Hopeless,

I know you posted a while ago in June, but iafter reading your post, please i hope that you have decided to go ahead and start the SUBS! I had all the same fears, i have had multiple back surgeries with no results, and i was taking 8 30mg Blues a day, and 4-6 80`s as well. I started the Subs one day because i was done with going upthe Mg ladder as it will not get any better. After about 3 days on the subs i felt good-great. The first day it will Drastically help with your withdrawls. I waited about 16-18 hours basically i waited until my eyes were watering, yawning, and that clammy feeling. you know what i am speaking of i am sure.

You may also have a pretty good headache for the first day or two, but this is normal, and one of the main side effects of the subs. Dont be scared. after a few days you will never look back. I still have pain, but surprisingly it is tolerable with the subs,a nd as long as you commit to get back to your normal life before the pain killers, you will be okay. remember being scared is normal, but overcoming it is what will let you know how strong you really are. You can do it, and anyone can do it. You have to want to do it though! Think about your kids, your family, or your best friend. Whatever you have to do.


I hope that i am writing this to someone that has already decided and made a choice to get off the meds, but if you are still on the fence, i hope that this will help someone take that next step to your old life! Good Luck, and you will feel 1000 times better after getting through the first few days, i gaurantee it.

Well stated suboxonehelp. Subs can be a lifesaver but like any other medication the person taking them should educate themselves. Suboxone, more than most medications, seems to have a wealth of misinformation about it on the Internet.

Danielle, if u don't know facts please don't come on here and state ridiculous and scary things like u just did. If ur truly on suboxone for 2 yrs then yes u are dependant on it. Try going off it cold turkey and ul see exactly what I mean. Secondly - suboxone blocks the effects of opiates like roxy. If u take a roxy while on suboxone nothing will happen it just won't work so ur wasting money and pills. Yes if u try to take a bunch of roxy on suboxone it could be harmful but it could also be harmful without suboxone. So again, please don't make ridiculous harmful statements here when there are people trying their hardest to get thru addiction. If u have a helpful comment please post it, if u don't, keep quiet.

Hopeless blue,
Those blueberries were my drug of choice too. I was doing 10-15 a day for years. Plus some 80 Oxys and some opana 40's (before they changed them). Subs saved my life. Tried to quit literally hundreds of times. I tried white knuckling it cokd turkey, tried tapering the blues (yeah right), you name it I tried & failed. The subs were what worked for me. Trust & believe that they really do work. If you take them for awhile you will become dependent on them. Not addicted, dependant. There's a big difference. I was dependent on subs but was able to taper off them. Try that with a full agonist- I could never do it.

Don't worry so much about time. Take them when you're in withdrawal. You don't have to be feeling like death- just be in moderate withdrawal. Everyone's different. You might wake up & feel awful. There's something called the COWS scale. Google that & compare your symptoms. That's safer than going with a predetermined number of hours.

Good luck. It's just hard getting started but once you do you'll be happy you did

And for anyone else who wants to reach me privately please let me know. Once a week I actually go to a high end "deluxe" NYC rehab retreat and speak/listen/help whoever I can. I've been doing this for the past 6 months and have learnt an incredible amount from the licensed therapists and the doctors and nurses on call there :) I'd be more than happy to listen to or speak to whoever needs me.
