Suboxone Forums (Page 38)

I dropped out of my first attempt at a suboxen program ( cause I really would like to do the "program" and not on my own) because they gave very impractical terms for my participation. They expected me to attend 5 AA meetings weekly and show proof at every visit... That being said I work the road and am gone 6-7 months a year and just have no clue and no time in evenings after 12 hour days (schedules dont jell with these centers) to hit these programs.. I would have loved to use the NA.org website but this doctor was very odd in his requirements.. So that being said... is there any alternatives? And do most doctors refuse a second chance for folks who reoffend and do not follow docs programs criteria after one visit? Is there a national data base that will tell other docs that I...

i was given a drug screen @ my pain clinic it showed possitive for Suboxone and i dont take Suboxone ## What medications do you take? If they use a less expensive, non-certified test, then they are known to give false positives anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time. Thus, if you take a semi-synthetic, or synthetic opiate, it is possible that it can cause a false positive for one, or more of its relatives.

Looking for a new Suboxone Dr as close to Bloomington as possible, ASAP. I'm out and will be losing my job Monday if I can't find some1 who will accept me. ## Did you find a Sub doctor? Just curious..why would you lose your job if you didn't find a doctor? ## I found one.... but he's 90 miles from bloomington and doesn't take my insurance. U know of someone who does?? And I'd lost my job bc I can't work when I'm sick. ## Do you still have insurance? If so, what type do you have? If your not working now, you would probably qualify for medical assistance or "Minnesota Care." Have you already been on suboxone, or is this something your just now looking to get started on? My doctor is in NE Minneapolis which is maybe 10 or 15 minutes from Bloomington....

After taking 100mcg transdermal fentanyl patches, which I have been on for a few months. I was prescribed 2 8-2mg SuboxoneNaloxone, Insurance would only pay for the pill form. When I take Suboxone pill, It puts me into withdrawal. I was just wondering how long should I wait after taking the 100mg fentanyl transdermal patch, before taking my Suboxone pills? I'm hoping someone is out there that would be willing to help me out with this problem. Thanks, in advance, God Bless ## Hello, Emberlee! How are you? I am very sorry about the problem that you've experienced. You have to be in full withdrawal from the Fentanyl, before you can safely take Suboxone, or the precipitated withdrawals will keep occurring, as instructed by the NIH. There is no specific time frame, it can vary from p...

I'm a recovering addict, been on suboxone for 6 months now.. just had ileocecectomy for crones disease. Was given 48 morphine 15mg ir. Once gone (yesterday) was advised to resume subs. I did. It's not cutting the pain.... would methadone do better???? I don't wanna hear the withdrawal factor of methadone, just if it's potent or different enough from subs to help my pain.. ## Justin, Well methadone is far superior for pain relief.I doubt you switched from morphine to suboxne without the requisite time for induction.If you did wait the 4 days the levels of sub may not be sufficient to exhibit a clinical response. As a recovering addict who has tried Them both methadone is superior for those with chronic pain issues as a secondary issue. ## Suboxone doesn't work for eve...

I got addicted to Roxy's for 2 1/2 yrs when my dad died and took suboxone to get off them. Then started feeling the urge to take Roxy's again so got back on suboxone for the 2nd time. Have been on it for a few years now because I'm afraid to take a narcotic again. I only take a quarter of a strip a day. I have to work full time so I'm afraid to stop taking them because I can't afford to lose my job. Any advice? These narcotics and suboxone really suck! I wish everyone all the best ## Hello, Melissa! How are you? I am very sorry about the problems you've been dealing with. Suboxone does also contain an opiate narcotic, it combines Buprenoprhine with Naloxone, as classified by the FDA, thus it also carries the risk of being habit forming. A slow taper is usually th...

does tricare cover suboxone precriptions ## From what I can find on their website, it will cover the 0.5mg or 2mg Sublingual Suboxone tablets, with a co-payment of $9 per prescription, with no medical need form necessary, though this may vary for members who are actively in uniform. It, of course, must be from an approved doctor at an approved prescribing facility. Is there anything else I can help you with? ## I am out of suboxone today, took 5 more than prescribed.

I started suboxone yesterday and took two Mgs. A few hours later o had to take two more ans then two more. How long should 2 mg last. ## Hello, Nichols! How are you? The amount required can vary from person to person, depending on how much they were taking of their addictive substance of choice. Usually the dosage is adjusted accordingly and taken once daily. How much has your doctor instructed you to take? The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. ## I'm been on 60 mg of plans for 2 years now and took 2 mg of Suboxone and still feel bad how long until I can feel a pill? ## Brooke, Excuse ...

Hello I have been on opiates for about 2 years now and I was given a half of a quarter of a subutex and this is my first time taking it. I was wanting to know when it wears off? I think it threw me into full detox because I took 20 mg of hydrocodone 7 hours before I took the sub. I am aware I have a problem I just want to know when the sub will wear off. Took it at 1:30 pm, it's now 9:30pm. ## It usually takes about 72 hours, before other opiates will be effective for you, again. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## That is not necessarily true. If it's the only one he has ever taken and in such a small do...

I just recently got on the suboxone program and i started on films but i had them switch me to tablets cuz the films do not work for me as an individual. My question here is: My Dr. prescribes me the tablets that have 8 and an arrow on them... If i take the ones with 54 411 will they see different results from urine tests? And are they different pills or do they work for the same treatment?

I am starting my suboxone treatment tomorrow after I'm into the ever dreaded WD's. My 1st prescription is for 8 mg. 1/2 a pill every hour until the symptoms have subsided. I have been taking 14-17 10 mg. hydrocodones a day for about 1 1/2 yrs. I'm very scared of how I am going to feel for the next few days. I am also dealing with a lot of anxiety. Does anyone know if I can take a 1/2 or whole xanax while taking Suboxone to help with anxiety? I'm reading conflicting reports on this. I've got a call into my dr., but have not heard back yet. I am very concerned about how I will be able to function for the next few days or weeks. Yesterday was my first dr. visit and prescription. I really want to kick this awful habit. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank You...

I took half of a strip of Suboxone 8mg/2mg. This is the first and only time I have ever given it a try. I was told that it helps ppl get off of opiates, but works better than an opiate. So I figure that it would help with the pain I have. It was described to me as being a lil bit of a stronger dose of the hydrocodone 10mgs that I get prescribed to me. After about an hour of having taken it, I began to feel pain in my back that I haven't felt since I started pain management and was prescribed lortab 10's. So I looked up more info on Suboxone and found out that it is a pain blocker, which makes sense of why I began to feel pain after taking it. My question is...how long do I need to wait to take my lortab 10mg so I can lessen my back pain? Oh...and now that I know what Suboxone re...
