Suboxone 8mg/2mg And Roxicodone 30's (Page 3)

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.

You have just started taking the suboxone? if so make sure you get to 16-24 mg as quickly as possible and maintain that dose for at least a month. Also your doctor should be instructing you to only take the medication ONCE DAILY! This is important because it breaks the cycle of the drug addict behavior. (taking doses multiple times daily) Once you maintain a dose you can talk to your doctor about graduall step down of dose. like 1 mg a month, oh and ask for the strips they are the easiest to dose when dropping doses, i measure and cut with exacto knife, works perfect when going from 16mg to 15mg. I hope this helps, it has truly changed my life and i never turned back, I'm on 8 mg once daily now and i started at 16mg last year. My life has turned around 180 degrees. I was bad too i was in the streets of NYC every night all night and I'm lucky to be alive. suboxone treatment is the way if done correctly see if your doctor will prescribe the way i described in my post.

I don't know why people keep saying you can't take suboxone and normal narcotics at the same time. I took both within hours of each other for a whole year before just being on suboxone. I would take one to undo the bad reaction from the other. It's rare but, I think this could happen when you go from small amounts of painkiller to a higher amount of suboxone. A doctor told me though at a low dose of sub taking a stronger painkiller will eat the suboxone up. DON'T DO THIS! You just go from one withdrawal to the next. I wish I could help, Im trapped on 2mg myself, the only thing that gives me very little relief is smoking pot, but that doesn't help everyone. You are not a crybaby, I would rather go through almost any other pain, than to keep going through this. Some people have minor symptoms, while others get deathly sick People who don't understand another's pain or care to, are weak and will suffer bad one day. Everybody gets sick at one point or another. I wish everone success.

Hiya all. I'm 40 and have been using heroin for 15+ years and oxy for the last four years, loading gear on top... I have been on suboxone for 17 days now and I'm on 30mg a day. I'm on a program (voluntary) through ATODS (Australia).
I also suffer from chronic back pain and sciatica, hence the oxy...so I was/am an addict first and foremost.
I've tried everything not to be a user and at last I have found an answer-suboxone!!! I'll stay on this forever if I have to.
The idea is to live life to the fullest. My life is getting to that point. I don't feel guilty using suboxone and enjoying the high it gives me, as well as relief for my pain. Also my friends and family can rest assured that I am now not in any danger do O.D.ing or getting myself into any trouble trying to support my habits.
Keep on fighting the good fight...

If you are ok with just a quarter of one suboxone and only needed it for less than a week then my guess is you never were strung out to begin with and didn't need suboxone to kick. I got off of 80 mg. of juice that I swallowed for 7 years and before the juice I was shooting dope. The suboxone at 3 8/2 mg. a day didn't take enough of the sickness away to keep me comfortable for the 1st 3 weeks I was not real sick but I felt bad enough. Sounds to me,like all you

I would say at LEAST 18-24 hours. You want to be in pretty significant withdrawals. Meaning : cold sweats, goosebumps, runny nose, restless w/irritability, and stomache cramps. I would not risk precipitatedo withdraw so in my worst enemy. Hooey that helps. It is easier to stop in the afternoon so you sleeo thru most if the time. Use ambien or at least tylenol pm for sleep and and anxiety med if possible to helput the remaining hours your awake.

IMO I would not take anything your addicted too after starting subs. I found that my first day I had to take 32mg of subs to get where I had only some slight symptoms such as cold chills.and runny nose. I have found that as addicts no matter how we got started on this journey i.e. injury or rec use, we are very intelligent so if you have done that in the past and are asking others if you should I think you know the anwser. I do the same thing b/c I am really searching for approval. In summary, no. when u are really done only then should u start subs and let it be the, beginning of a new life! BTW going on and odd subs is not good. They will not work and give you the same results as u had the first time. God bless!

Me too! I got 2mg subs, ten per package. Definitely not enough to make withdrawals go away entirely but makes them tolerable. Staying home and smoking mad weed (prescription cannabis is best) really helps. I still feel the withdrawal but it makes the creepy crawlies and the restlessness tolerable. I do yoga and mediation with cannabis and realize it's merely me landing thus giving kicking a positive outlook

In reply to Stephanie, Im 55 and have experienced that paralized feeli.g while Im asleep for many years. Not every night but once in awhile. It is a scarry feeling because no matter how hard I try to move or scream, I can't. I use to think I was the only person that experienced that but as it turns out quite abit of people experience the same thing. I've learned that if I relax and not try to move or scream it goes away quicker but when it does go away I don't just lay there or else it returns so I get up, drink water and regain my composure. I usd heroin for many years but I don't think that has anything to do with the situation. Hope u learn tp relax.

i'm sorry but i'm curious if you've attempted to get off suboxone and actually be "Clean"....its an absolute nightmare. suboxone does everything the roxys or whatever opiate you use do, besides the high or euphoria. Suboxone is a hardcore pain killer as well. Just works differently when you have a tolerance or habit to opiates.

Hi everyone I'm a 24/ female.
I was the one who posted the original post asking for help about a year ago.
I wanted to come back and say this : I have been completely and totally clean since the day after I posted on this board. I started suboxone, I took about 6mg my first day and 4 my second day and since then I've been taking 2mg a day almost every day. I am not around any drugs and I have no wish or craving to do the roxys (only drug I've ever abused - I was on 3 a day for about 6+ months) I just want you guys who are here posting or even just reading know : THIS IS DO-ABLE! U can kick the habit in the ass and get ur life back. U will feel great, happy, healthy and u will have MONEY! I was wasting a fortune on roxys. Every single person has the strength to beat this. It might be harder for some and a bit easier for others but ultimately we can all do it.
My one question/problem now is HOW do I get off the suboxone? I've been on 2mg for almost a year and its a waste of money and I don't feel that I've needed it for months already. My doctor told me to stay on but I think that's just bc the cases/patients he usually deals with are ones that are either constantly surrounded by friends/addicts etc or perhaps they may easily relapse. I know I won't. With G-ds help of course. Now I just want to get OFF suboxone but I can't seem to do it. If I stop for 2 days I start feeling very anxious, irritable, antsy, heart racing etc. Does anyone have any advice on how to get down from 2mg to 0mg?
I wish each and every one of u the best of luck. I promise u CAN do it. Ur worth it, ur friends and ur family, ur job, everything is worth it. Once u quit, never look back. If anyone needs any help or has any questions please feel free to ask me. I wish I had ppl around to help me when I was going thru what a lot of u are going thru now.
Please, if anyone has any advice for me please post.
Thanks and G-d bless :)

You want to get off subs, dope, methaone, whatever... just stop taking it. Suck it up for Christ's sake.

Uhh thank you for your advice
You're obviously a very smart and knowledgeable person *sarcasm*
Obviously if "sucking it up" was an easy solution when it came to addiction, you wouldn't be visiting/browing thru a website discussing DRUG ADDICTION. Please don't waste peoples time. We know we have to get OFF of drugs that's why we're here. So, once again if anyone has actual HELP/ADVICE as to how to get off 2mg suboxone please help out. Thanks :)

Do not mix them. Take the suboxone as prescribed. Get through it. Once you are on the other side of those pills, you will feel better. I stayed on suboxone for 2 months... then got off it all. My doctor also prescribed an anti-drepresent, Lexapo, and klonopin. The combination in my opinion was necessary to help with the feeling you are concerned with.

Takes one to know one. I've been shooting up then decided enough was enough. Been through several medical detoxes, orthodox rehab, methadone, even an Ibogaine detox. Always went back to the needle. Not any more. Took 2mg of subs for 3 days and medical cannabis. Yeah, I felt withdrawals but I just came to the conclusion that I am going to feel terrible for awhile but I know the body heals itself and let myself cross over. Woke up to a withdrawal today in fact but I just won't let my thoughts go towards executing drug-seeking behavior. Maybe the weed caused enough introspection.
