I got a white pill it's suppose to b a suboxen 10mg it has on one side 155 and the other side it has a D is it a suboxen my brothers comming off methadone he hasn't had ne methadone in 2wks want to b sure this is a sub so he can feel better ## Yeah that's a generic brand suboxone. There is no 10mg suboxone though. It is 8mg suboxone and 2mg naloxone. The imprint on the front side isn't a D, it's a crescent moon, the logo of the manufacturer. I hope this helps!

i have been addicted to pain pills for 5 yrs now i went threw a suboxin program for 3 months & the dr started to take me down then i lost my insurance 8 months ago i started buying in on the street which it has really helped me & is cheaper than buying a oxy i just got my insurance back & am going to go threw the program heres the problem starting in oct medicaid is no longer gonna pay for it in w.va anyhow not sure about other states which yes it will still be cheaper than me buying off the street or buying a pill. I am very pissed by this how can they pay for a pain pill but not something that is really helping people come off them I am trying to bring awareness to this & if i can get enough letters wrote to congress the govenor or whoever else to show them what a miri...

Hello, I am currently taking saboxone tabs. My insurance has stopped and I'm afraid to go through w/d from the sudden stop. I obviously can't afford 500 a box, is there a way I can get free sample or trials of the tabs or film to taper my self down? ## Hello, Diamond! How are you? There is an assistance program for uninsured people to help them get Suboxone, your provider will need to call to get the application for you. The number is listed as 888-898-4818, each doctor is restricted to only having 3 patients on this program, at once. 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?

I am on a suboxone program and get tested (urine) twice a month the past few time the results have been positive for morphine and yet I swear I have never taken the drug in my life because the one time I tried it some 30 years ago it made me very sick so never touched it again. I take quite a few prescribed meds for diabetes high blood pressure high cholesterol rapid heart beat insulin etc. can this be the cause of my false positive? I also eat an everthing bagel everyday ## You're eating an everything bagel. They contain poppy seeds which come from the opium poppy plant. The seeds themselves are typically safe of any narcotics but during the harvesting process that can and do become contaminated with small amounts of opium. If you eat enough of them, although you won't feel any...

dr didn't call my medicine in for suboxone and ive got three days to go to see the dr. can I take a subutex and pass my drug screen. is there any difference in the two medicines? ## no there the same mate they just changed them as u wasn't ment to be able to inject them but there e the same don't worry ## 1.) When was the last time you actually took a suboxone? 2.) The only difference is a blocker called naloxone. Suboxone stays in your urine about 2-3 days. If you take just Subutex, it'll show positive for Bupe but not Naloxone. The question is.... do they screen for both? I think probably yes! You might be screwed! Part of recovery is sometimes Fuc*ing up. Be honest with ur dr. I've been 100% honest with mine and so far, so good. On the other hand, if you have one ...

Hi! This is my first time writing about my experience on Subs. Let's see....it has been about 4 years I have been taking them. I was taking 80mg or more a day of oxycontin. I was wearing a size 0 in clothing, wasted every dollar I could get my hands on to go buy more (and where I live they were $70-80 per pill). And even worse, me and my husband were both on them so that doubles the money we were spending on them. After 2 years and nearly ruining our lives, we started the local Methadone clinic and things seemed to be getting better. We done that for a year when I had finally had enough of dozing off, falling asleep and gaining weight that I told my husband I was quitting cold turkey. I was getting my doses by the week at 80 mgs a day so we split it up so we both could do it and slo...

When on facolin xr 10mg, can you take suboxone film 8mg if you have withdrawals? Or can you take it together? I took 3 10mgs of focalin xr yesterday n couldnt sleep all night, i took 4 more today, still havent slept, was wondering if i took suboxone film if itll help me sleep or will it give somekind of high. ## Hello, Chambabe! How are you? Why did you take so much of the Focalin XR? This is a stimulant that carries the risk of being habit forming and it is well known to case side effects, such as insomnia, headache, irritability and weight loss. And no, since it is a stimulant and Suboxone is a narcotic, which is basically a downer, it is not safe to also take it, unless your doctor specifically instructs you to do so. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit ...

For the past 4 days except for today I have been taking 8mg of suboxone, today I took 3-7.5 mg of Vicodin to no effect I'm guessing because of my blocked receptors, I'm looking to just continue my suboxone use, do I have to wait even though the suboxone already blocked everything, or will I go into precipitated withdrawals because there are opiates in my system? Thx ## @Curious, If you haven't received any kind of effect from taking a single vicodin, my opinion is that you should be fine to continue using suboxone as you were. However because I am not a doctor I would still encourage you to seek professional medication advice regarding this just to be on the safe side. There are also those here who have a lot of personal experience switching between the two and can offer a m...

I have been accepted to the Here to Help Program for suboxone. I saw my dr today and received my prescription. She was not sure how or when I get my card. I need these filled tomorrow or I wil go into withdrawl. Can you help me? ## Hello, Lulu! How are you? The Here to Help program is just a counseling and support program, it doesn't actually help pay for the prescription, so there is no card for it. You just get a log-in to their support website. 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. Are you sure that's the program you applied to?

I just started on suboxone on Saturday. Dr prescribed 1 and a half films a day. I told her I am currently on zanax .05 mg 3 times a day for panic attacks. So she told me to just take 1 film that first day (and go ahead and take that night dose of zanax that first day then get with my Dr about tapering off zanax) SO I did and felt pretty good. On Sunday I just took one suboxone also since I felt ok the first day on it. Then today (Monday) I took just one again and have had withdrawals and cravings ALL day. Trying to taper the zanax myself until I can see a Dr and only taking half tablet at a time so my question is should I go ahead and up the suboxone to the recommended dose or am I anxious maybe from cutting back on the zanax. Can't get in to see Dr about taper for 12 more days. And...

I have been on Suboxone for a little over a year now. I am now off the roxy. Anyway, my question is: My doctor does a panel test to test for the usual. Then she will do a separate test for Suboxone. I smoke pot. This has come up positive on my tests before and she says she normally wouldn’t care, but to her this means, “I am hanging around the wrong crowd and might relapse.†I have used clean urine from another person before and dissolved a small piece of the film in it. When I do this the panel test shows a faint line for opiates. Then I swear up and down I haven’t taken a roxy in over a year (true), and then she will do a separate test just for Suboxone and roxy. Dissolving a small piece into the clean urine made the ...

Addition usually happens, because people like those feelings, but they always wear off after awhile, so they have to keep taking more and mo...

I'm down to just over 1 mg daily. I will have a urinalysis for a very important job in about a week. Btw I have a scrip however would be working in an industrial machine environment. How long will this small dose be detected? I have been weening off for a year now. Advice?

A bunch of city jobs are currently being tested for (Court officer, bridge and tunnel officer, sanitation worker and fdny soon as well) and I'm just wondering if you need to tell them you're on suboxone during the interview/medical process or if they test for it and if it'll disqualify you...I hear many different opinions so I'm pretty confused and if it will disqualify me I just won't proceed since there'd be no point then. Thanks in advance for any help...

My son's girl friend is a recovering drug addict. She was doing really well until her lung collapsed, landing her in the hospital for three days. The doctors had her on STRONG pain meds by mouth and by IV. She was scared to death that when she got out she would have withdraws. The doctor put her on suboxone strips. She moved in with me so I could monitor her intake of meds. She told me to give her one SUBOXONE in the morning and one at night. She has been nodding out at the computer, on the phone, eating, talking, standing, and now she is demanding two strips in the morning. I told her if she took both strips in the morning she would have none in the evening, she didn't care. I took her to see a shrink and she came out of the office very mad saying that she never wanted to go ba...

I've been prescribed 2, 8 mg strips of Suboxone a day by my doctor. The problem is, I'm clean and have been for weeks. My question is am I going to be okay taking such a high dose of Bupe? Should I be concerned or what do I do? ## You seem to have zero tolerance.. I'll assume you are having cravings to use your doc. So can help with this but go very very slowly. 2mgs at a time. Wait a couple of hours an see how you feel. 16mgs with No tolerance and you will be at least high, at worst sick. Go slow..... Max

I took an 8 mg suboxone last thursday and it was only ONE time use (not consistent usage) and got drug tested yesterday (thursday - so it was 7 days later) .. I am young, healthy & drink alot of fluids.. What are the chances of it showing up on my drug test yesterday? ## If you only took it once and you don't take it a lot. It should be out within 8 hours. I am very familiar with suboxone as I take it 4-5 x a week. Hope this help relieve you !! You should be just fine, don't worry. Suboxone is a synthetic opiate it will not show up as an opiate on a standard drug test. It can be detected in the urine but not for a job it has to be specically tested for. You should be alright! ## Suboxone is a synthetic opiate it will not show up as an opiate on a standard drug test. It can b...
