Suboxone 8mg/2mg And Roxicodone 30's (Page 18)
(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.

I have been on roxy 30 for a year, taking about 5 a day. A friend gave me suboxone 8mg/2mg. how long do i need to wait to take a sub after taking a 1/4 pill of roxy 30 My friend told me that i would get sick if i did not wait 24 hours...my WDs start 5 hours later so waiting 24 hours is not possible. I realy need to be off all drugs completely. Please help

@ painful..i have taken subs before and i have sciatica and from my experience they dont do much to relieve pain...and it sounds like you are in ALOT of pain...whats ironic is another use for subs is for treating moderate pain..i would consult with a suboxone certified doctor and speak with them about your concerns hun..god bless and good luck

@ nichole..this is just my opinion but it sounds like some of what you are feeling are some of the side effects from taking the subs sweetie..and if your doctor isnt helping much maybe consider finding a new doctor..this drug can be dangerous and they are supposed to keep a close watch on you while you are taking it..hope i helped some sweetie god bless and stay strong

Ive been on pretty much any pain killer i can get my hands on for about 6-7 years now. I have taken subs in detox a few years ago and they worked great. I think they were either the 2mg or 4 mg tablets. I really need to get a prescription of them but i have no insurance and just started a new job..havent even gotten paid yet lol. How can i afford the apointments and scripts? Im in my 20s and i cant do this forever. Also, can the suboxone doctor prescribe antianxiety meds with them bc i have anxiety and panic attacks almost every day. thanks to all of you for your time.

If you are doing a treatment plan with a doctor, then take them as prescribed hun. They give you the highest dose possible to make you as comfotable as possible on your initial appoinment...then when you and the doc agree they start lowering your dose so you dont go through withdrawals. Hope this helped. God Bless & Stay Strong

I put my email into that post but I think they blocked it...
I'm here though so go ahead and ask/talk/vent....
Whatever u need I'm here
This isn't easy but once ur on suboxone ur life changes. I'm clean since I took the first suboxone almost 6 months ago. The greatest part about it is that it not only takes away withdrawls but it also keeps u from craving it. I started on 2mg per day and I'm still taking 2mg a day (smallest dose) just to be safe - to make sure that even if I'm put in a situation where roxys are around, I can't do them because they won't even work. And I won't want them

PLEASE READ IF U NEED HELP! ...I am the one with the screen name "please help" if u scroll down u will see the msg that I wrote in the end of May, when I was just starting to go off roxys (I had been taking 3 roxys 30mg each per day for over a year). It is now November. I have been clean for about 6 months and never looked back. SUBOXOBE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! I am not saying its easy but its not as hard as some people will make u think or feel. Even if ur on way more than I was and for many more years - Not only does suboxone work by keeping away withdrawl symptoms but it stays in your system for many days at a time (every 37 hrs it goes down by half so itd be daaays until you could take an opiate like roxys/oxys or whatever else and for it to work and get u high...and usually sometime in between those days u get a reality check, slap urself and quickly take ur suboxone so that u don't ever slip back into ur old ways/habits and suboxone ALSO keeps ur cravings away. U don't think about it or feel like u even want or need it. I could have a suitcase full of roxys right now for free sitting right in front of me and I wouldn't be tempted to do even a drop) guys this isn't as hard as some of u make it sound. I was addicted for over a year. Please I beg you, I want to help anyone I can. If you have any questions or if I can help anyone even in the smallest way it would be my pleasure!! Email any question big or small. NO I am NOT a doctor but I've been thru this JUST LIKE U, and I've done TONS of research both online and thru a great team of doctors. I know what I'm talking about and I can and will help u.I have answers to any possible question u could come up with about suboxone, about opiates about withdrawls, about how/when and I know these answers from doctors and extensive research. So please REACH OUT. That's all u have to do. I wish I had someone like me back in May when I was struggling with addicition, I wish I had someone to help me thru it or answer my questions. I promised myself I would be that person for as many people as possible.

Today is my first day taking suboxone. So far it seems to be helping with the wd symptoms. They gave me the 8 mg film. I really hope this stuff does the trick. I was taking about 2-3 roxy 30's daily for about 6 months- 1 yr.
Good luck to everyone fighting this battle!

Roxys are hard to kick I been on them for a year six 30s per day... I am now down to one 30 a day. Forget the suboxone... Ween yourself off them .. Take xanex or soma to sleep maybe a 60mg morphine.. It does get better. Day 1-4 sux but u just take enough of ur blue not to be sick... You can control it. Force yourself to walk it sux but blood flow promotes healing.....

Don't take the suboxone til u wake up, u want about 12 hours from the time u last took a roxy. Don't do it too soon, as it could make u feel horrible also. If I were u, and I have been before, I would start with about a quarter of the suboxone, if its too much, ull know as ur stomach will become upset, at which point break a quarter in half and take an 8th. Trust me this suboxone is incredibly strong, and unless ur doing hard drugs 24/7 u wont need much. Take it sublingually (under ur tongue) til it disolves, suboxone is long lasting, u shouldn't have to do this more than 2x a day. I wish u luck, its a hard road, but once ur past it, ull realize it was worth it.

I've been doing 3 roxys a day (total of 90mg) for about 5-6 months now. I want to stop so badly but the one time i didnt have (about a month ago) and went into withdrawls it was the worst feeling of my life and i got so panicked and felt so sick that i ended up in a hospital. (they couldn't help me aside from give me some very low prescription xanax which didnt help at ALL) so of course as soon as i was able to get more roxys (about 24 hours after i started withdrawing) i got back onto the roxys. I am now full commited to getting off. it's the only drug i've ever done and i don't know alot about these things. can anybody please help me? i have 5 suboxone 8/2mg and i can get more (ironicaly from the same person i got the roxys from).
does anyone have advice they can give me like exactly with details what i should do and how i should do it to get off of the roxys? like how long to wait after last roxy and first suboxone , and how many suboxone to start with and then how to take less till i dont need any more suboxone? thank you so so so much i hope someone can help me.

swim has been battling with roxys for about 4 years now going back and forth between them and the subs. swIm have also been very deep into them taking 10 or a day. I find it odd that dr's Px so much sub per day. swim only needed 1-2 mg per day. no restlestness, sleeplessness or creepy crawly type irritation. The idea is to take as little as possible, therefore reducing the chances of addiction to another Px drug.

Nichole - I have just began taking sub - Monday the 2nd to be exact. My doc explained that if your metabolism is fast that it may take a lil more sub to help your opiate withdrawels completely subside. All those symptoms you are explaining sound just like wd's. I feel blessed to have found this stuff and found a doc. I was killing my body and my mind. I'm taking two 8mg/2,mg films in the morning and might move up to a thrid but I believe that is the cutoff becuase of the ceiling affect. It wouldn't do any good after three. Good Luck and God Bless Everyone fighting this addiction!
