Suboxone Forums (Page 49)

I have one AN 415 pill. My opiate habit isn't that bad but I would like to know when should I take it? I don't want to use opiates anymore. I'm sick of it. I detoxed myself for about 4 days then started again. It's been about 2 weeks... ## You have to be in full withdrawal, before you can take Suboxone, unless your doctor instructs you otherwise, because it may throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hello everyone, I have been on Suboxone 8/2, twice a day for over 5 years. I want to get off it but I have major health compications. I've had major depression my whole life. My last psychiatrist put me on several other drugs for my depression. One of them is an amphetamine called Vyvanse. (70 mg.) I'm also on 4 mg of clonazepam, 200 mg. of pristiq and Dexilant for acid reflux. I have a history of a negative lipid profile. In addition, I have high blood pressure. I'm also 60 years old. I know that I should never stop anythin suddenly. I have been unable to find asome out of the physician to supervise the withdrawal from anything. I am really afraid that Suboxone withdrawal will trigger a heart attack or stroke because everytime I try to taper down, My heart starts pounding i...

I usually take methadone and I couldn't find my medicine, I cut a suboxone strip and cut it into 4 pieces and I took a 1/4 of it at like 11 am and I feel horrible my body is aching plus I found my methadone so since I just took a 1/4 of a strip I can take my methadone and it help my boddy , and withdrawals???? ## No, the Naloxone in the Suboxone has likely started some precipitated withdrawals and now will prevent the Methadone from having any effect for about 72 hours. Have you consulted your doctor for assistance?

will suboxone block out dianabol ## The Naloxone in Suboxone only neutralizes opiates, to help prevent someone abusing them while they are under treatment with it. Learn more Suboxone details here. So it has not effect on other medications or substances. Anabolic steroids are very dangerous, I can't tell you what you should or shouldn't do, but I do urge you to proceed with caution. Are there any other questions? ## Does steroid 4 milligram and suboxin 8 milligrams mix well?

How long do I have to wait to take my roxy after only taken two subs got two days ## @Shelly, Based on feedback I've seen in other related discussion threads, it's probably a good idea to wait at least a few days until the suboxone is out of your body and you're in a state of withdrawals. This is because if you were to take the roxy (oxycodone) too soon, chances are that you may not even feel its effects. I know everyone is different though when it comes to these meds and a few days is really just a rough estimate.. So if you're able to I'd still encourage you to talk with your doctor about this first. Does anyone else have advice to add from personal experience? ## I have done this several times in the past, I narrowed it down to 12 hours since you took your last su...

I am interested in a pharmacy discount card. I am getting off of opiates with suboxone. It is costing as much, if not more than drugs I was originally prescribed.

I have been addicted to oxy for almost a decade. My wife just had a baby about a year ago and I want to get off of these horrible things.

I'm trying to find out how long I have to wait between my last oxy and taking the Suboxone. I am the sole provider in my family and I have to go to work tomorrow so I'm trying to make the withdrawal process as short as possible. I have been taking 100 mg of oxy a day.

I have been off suboxone for 2 months. When I go see a pain doctor and they check and find out I use to be on the suboxone, they wont give me anything for the pain. I lost both my leg's 4 years ago but I'm walking now, it hurts like hell. I live in DENTON texas. If any one knows of a pain management doctor that is understanding please let me know. I do not care if he does not take insurance. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. DALLAS is fine too.

I took one 8mg/2mg sublingual suboxone strip yesterday, breaking it up into quarters. I took the last quarter of the strip around midnight. Will it still be a full 72 hours before 50mg morphine will effect me? ## Yes, otherwise the Naloxone will block the effects of the Morphine. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I really appreciate your reply, but found it to not really be true. . After 24 hours, the morphine worked just fine.

I have been taking opiates everyday. Yesterday I decided to start suboxone to detox at home. I took 12mg of suboxone too soon and went into severe withdrawal. I had to take more opiates to make symptoms subside. I've taken nothing for 22 hours now. IS IT SAFE TO TAKE SUBOXONE NOW? ## Hello, Shannon! How are you? No, you need to be in full withdrawal, before taking Suboxone, or it will keep throwing you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals.

Hello. I am new to this but I came here looking for help. My mother has been using suboxone now for 5 years. She was addicted to pain pills for years and years prior to using suboxone. I'm very concerned because she looks more zonked and out of in now than her worst days using drugs. She falls asleep constantly over counters, falls every night because she's constantly falling asleep while standing up. Please help educate me. She says this is normal and she just has a sleeping disorder. She's on 32mg suboxone/day. 5 years on it now. Do you guys experience this? IS she on too much? Why is the doctor prescribing her so much. She can't even function. ## Hello, Dee! How are you? That is the highest recommend dosage, but only her doctor can decide if it's right for your mo...

I have been taking suboxone for a week, only 8 mg a day, but over 24 hours ago i only took a half of a 8 mg strip, will I be able to feel pain mess now. It's been 28 hrs since i took half strip. ## @Akc, Due to buprenorphine's long half life of 24 - 60 hours (as reported by samhsa.gov), I would probably encourage you to wait a little longer in-between stopping suboxone and starting narcotic pain meds in order to get the most out of them. If still in doubt you could also take a drug panel to gauge how much suboxone is left in your body. But that might be more trouble than it's worth v.s. just waiting it out for an extra day or two. I hope this helps! Please post back if you're able to update us on how things went.

My Suboxone Strips are straight from the pharmacy so they have never been opened but they are "alot smaller" now and Iam mad but I dont know how to ask Suboxone manufacturers..my pharmacy would think I'm crazy probably so any thoughts? ## It just depends on what fillers and excipients they use in them, there is no specific size that they must be, as long as they contain the full dose they are supposed to. The size itself really means nothing. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Why did you go all pharmacy tech on us at the end there? Not helpful at all! In fact you didn't really have anything usefu...

HELP! I have NEVER taken Suboxone in my life. I've never even seen it in real life. After 5 years of clean urine screens for pain management, I suddenly tested positive for it in June. I swore to my doctor I hadn't taken Suboxone or anything else not prescribed to me (because it was and is true) he said he had never seen a false positive but that he was inclined to believe me and would run more specific tests. I went back in a few days ago and he said that I had tested positive a second time, that Suboxone contains a very specific molecule that cannot be misidentified and that he would chalk it up to adulterants in my medications if other patients had tested positive, but no one else had. I'm pretty sure he doesn't believe me anymore. He was willing to send one more samp...

If you or anyone you know needs a suboxone doctor, my doctor (Rene Perez) in Miami is accepting new patients. Tel: 786-373-7975. He doesn't take insurance but he also treats depression, anxiety etc, very caring, treats you like a human being and not expensive. ## I am trying to get off opiates and have used suboxone for a couple years off and on only through friends. It's very hard for me in this state of Washington to find a doctor that really understands that a prescription on going for a couple months or less would be so beneficial in me stopping my opiate addiction can you help me? ## call them up or text them at that number
