Suboxone 8mg/2mg And Roxicodone 30's (Page 9)

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.

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 ...

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!

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!

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???

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!!

Advice needed for the past year I have been on any type of pain killer I can get my hands on mostly lortab or Percocet and Vicodin it started with one prescription from the dentist and at this point I'm up to 15 a day. I am sick of living like this my husband is always wondering why we don't have any money when we both have very good jobs. I have never tried any other drug in my life and have never taken any other type of pain killer other than the ones named above. I have been down this road one to many times get clean then fall off I'm so done with this I am not going to allow this to tear my family apart and the bad thing is my husband has no clue what's going on lately he has made comments that he knows I'm buying something but he doesn't know what. Long story short I took my last one 2 days ago yesterday I got a suboxone 8mg/2mg I have cut it into 6 pieces took one piece yesterday when I started to feel sick and started to feel better this morning when I woke up I took another piece for today because I was feeling bad. What scares me is that I am prescribed to take Xanax everyday (witch I have never abused) prob because it nt my drug of choice but I find when I take a half of one with the suboxone it helps to take the edge off. I do not feel like I am getting any type of high and that is a good thing. My plan is to take one small piece everyday for 6 days just to get though the withdrawls and then be done with it because I am not trying to become dependent on anything else. My question is does the way I am going about taking it sound correct? I alo want to know by taking the suboxone in the small amount that I am will I have withdrawls after stopping taking it? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

at first i used suboxone to detox from opiates.. if you are planning to not stay on suboxone you should only use it for a max of a week to a min of 5 days.. which is what they do in most detox programs.. but after i detoxed and i was all done with subs. i started to feen for opiates again so i went to a suboxone dr asap and now i take them everyday this is my 2 year on them but its either this or making a mess of my life.. i dont mind being on them everyday, i dont get high from them. it just keeps me going and keeps me from touching opiates. i think it is a miracle drug. over these 2 years i decided i was going to get off the subs. i take 16 mg a day mind you sometimes 8mg. depends. well it was awful you are on such a low dose that you should start cutting the strips smaller and smaller every time.. stretch your doses. take 1 a day then go to every 2 days. which may suck but get your body use to not taking everyday. they subs stay in your body for 72 hours so you shouldnt get sick for 3 days after your dose. which i find hard to believe b/c if i miss a dose i feel the same way. well if you arnt pissing out ur ass or throwing up ur not fully detoxing so stretching ur dose could be the best thing. if you srate getting sick well then take 1 mg or .5. which would be the tiniest piece ever.. i have never taken less then 4 mg a day. but i went back to 8 or 16 because detoxing made me so sick and i have a family i need to take care of.. when you are fully ready to get off the subs you will just do it and you wont be afraid of the awful detox week! i have a friend who got pregnant and she had to get off them well she did it.. she did get sooo sick but it was all worth it because she doesnt need them everyday but she does take them time to time for energy. which i dont get from it any more..

Thank u SubPRO!
I am on 2mg/day for 2 yrs now
I've read so much about suboxone withdrawls and detox and they all say its worse than heroin widrawl which I'd assume is pretty horrible. People who have gone thru sub detox say the withdrawls last many weeks and I'm terrified of that.
Does anyone know of (from their own experience or a website support group like this) for how to get off of suboxone with as little withdrawls and terrible symptos as possible?
I wish with all my heart that I wouldve known much more about suboxone before I started taking it. I wish I knew to stop after a few days and not keep going.
But wishing isn't going to change anything. I know I need to gather the strength to get OFF suboxone. I hate being on it, it makes me constantly tired, and I'm always terrified that if god forbid I end up in an emergency situation where pain meds are necessary, I will be in enormous pain and trouble.

I will say getting off any drug is horrible. unfortunatly you will expierence withdrawl even from 2. Mg. my best advice is talk with your dr and tell him you are ready to get off the subs and you want a plan.. don't rush do it when your ready and will havr a week to deal with thr detox a slow taper will help a ton.. make sure you drink lots of fluids and get anti diariah pills. lots of sleep and some good movies. it will be a couple weeks of being depressed or bummed. but i believe when ur ready you won't be afraid . the worst is the first week. if you get threw that ur good. now the next couple weeks you will be tired but think of it as a good step forward and in the right direction! Good luck and keep us posted.

Yea the opiate Percocet will get u high even if u take the suboxone, I was on all of that, now it does block it for a whole but I use to take the sub right before work and then after work 12 hours later I took some pain killers and got the buzz as usual, I don't know why u people say it blocks it completely bc it doesn't. I'm not recommending it i would rather everyone stay clean bc I know how easy it is to go back, but I'm not your daddy.. I've quit 4 times and for some dumb ass reason I go back and mostly bc of boredom!!! Well now I've hit the f'n bottom so ill see most of you here soon if U don't get ur s*** together, trust me "even you" it will happen to!!! It's hard I know it and the govt made our pills even more expensive and a pain to get and y does everyone do heroin?? Oh wait thank you USA

Well u people are all diffrent. personally i had to take 10 to 12 roxy 30s to feel any kind of buzz. i do know its possibly but why would u do both knowing u can't fully enjoy the opiate with out taking a ton. i use to take a sub one day then the next a bunch of pills. but try doing them a couple hours after a syb. umpossible... I've been there done that so that's great u got a buzz a whole half a day later but not me.. in my experience i only tried doing pills a couple times after taking a sub because it just wasn't worth it. but i stuck to the subs and haven't done any pills in 2 years.. so subs work. granted dope works way better after doing a sub.. but the longer u wait the better. ex user and abuser now a suboxone consular

Hi jessica sorry i did not see ur post my phone is acting up and spelling everything wrong so sorry in advance. anyways there is a website called bupeporphine.com you will type in ypur state and city and it willnarrow ur results to yout area ehat state do you live in? I've been a drug counselor specializing in suboxone maintenance for the past year. mind u i have only neen clean for 2 full years and some odd months but Helpi.g others helped me stay clean esp since i have a family and a small child.. i remember waking up with no pills and thinking how am i ever gpnna get threw the day and take care of my family. i did some online research just like this and that's when i decided subs were for me. there is also methadone which is easier to get on because there is no waiting lists like sub drs. very few drs prescribe it andthe ones that do already have their 100 pqtients so the sooner u call the sooner u can get started. Pills are expensive and so is suboxone but most state and private health insurance companys pay for the script and most for the drs visits. the dr i see does not take health insurance so i pay 70 a month but my scripts are free.. good luck girl
