Suboxone Forums (Page 69)

My friend is currently pregnant and has been on suboxone for almost a year now..illegally. . She is winging herself off and wants to know how long it will be in her bloodstream or the babys bloodstream ## Hi, Neina! How is she doing? Your friend should really not be trying to get off of this medication without medical help. It is far too risky for both her and the baby. Doing it too fast could cause severe withdrawal symptoms that could put both of their lives in danger. And if she stays on it, there is a risk of the baby being born addicted. She really needs to tell her doctor and get help. ## Hi. I work for an ob/gyn & I agree w Verwon 100%. If she starts "weening off" too fast it could cause her & the fetus serious problems. In fact, we recommend to our pts to NOT ...

I've been on suboxone for about a year I wanna stop taking it so I can do a pill don't want it to be a waste tho so how long does it take to actually be able to feel something after being on suboxone ## Hi Wonder! You need to wait until you start feeling withdrawals before u will feel the pills. Suboxone has a half life so it lasts longer in your body. But, if I have to say, maybe 48 hours or a little more . As I said though,"you need to be in withdrawals first.

i got a round white pill 511/half moon imprint, it is thick and circular, it is suppose to be generic suboxone? is it suboxone, i have taken it and i feel it but weird please let me know what you may know about this ## Based on the description provided, the closest match I could find is a white round pill imprinted with "dp" on one side and "511" on the other (identified as Enpresse ethinyl estradiol 0.04 mg + levonorgestrel 0.075mg). This medication is used in the treatment of birth control. Manufacturer: Teva Pharmaceuticals USA National Drug Code (NDC): 00555-9047 You should be able to view a photo of the pill by running a search on google images for "dp 511 white pill", to see if this looks like a possible match. I hope this helps! ## Yes, this is suboxone, n...

I heard from a friend that Louisiana Medicaid is putting a limit on the amount of time it will pay/cover Suboxone prescriptions. I would like to know if this is true. ## Hello, Crystal! How are you? I don't know all the specifics, but many states are putting limits on it, such as only paying for it for one year. 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? ## Max daily dosage of up to 24 mg a day for 90 consecutive days. After the 90 days a max of 16 mg a day dosage. Louisisna Medicaid has extended the allowed time to refill non controlled substances to 12 month. But, this does not apply to Suboxone. ## Im on LA med...

I have been on suboxone for 4 years now for alcohol and methadone abuse and during that time I found out I have three buldging disc in my neck and osteoarthritis however my doctor still is weaning me off. I Dont want to be back where I started. Any advice?? ## Hi gin! If u feel u need 2 remain on suboxone 4 a longer period of time, u will need 2 find another Doctor who will continue 2 prescribe it 4 u. I've been on it 4 almost 8 years now, and, I don't plan on getting off it anytime soon. I suffer with a lot of back and medical problems, also. I do understand how u feel.

So forgot to mention, what's ur advice on this, I'm having a hard time quitting H, and my sub Dr told me she wants me to go 24 hours without use, then wake up in the a.m and take 2 8mg/2mg strips of the suboxone. Do u think that would send me into PW? or would I be flying? She said she just wants to cover my brain with the sub. ## I think it you genuinely want to quit and have the Suboxone work, then you should most likely follow your doctor's instructions. They are trying to help you and ensure the best possible outcome for you. 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. The wait is normal, you have to be in withdrawals, before you can take the Subox...

My job is closing and I have been on 2 & 1/2 8mg suboxone for almost 3yrs, used to be on 3 a day. Now I am also a disabled vet but the va won't give them to me. With that being said I have insurance until march and want to stock pile as many as I can. I am pretty close with my dr and am gonna ask him to at least put me back up to 3 a day so I can save some until I can figure out my insurance problems. Was wondering how many 8mg suboxone can a dr legally percribe you daily so I know what is the most I can ask him for. I am not even saying he will help me and give me mor but I got to ask cause I withdrawal is very long and horrible. I went into the va psych ward for a couple weeks and they would not give them to me and it was horrible so I am trying to prepare for the future until...

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 manufactorers..my pharmacy would think Im crazy probly so hhmmm? ## The size doesn't necessarily mean anything in regards to the amount of medication that they contain. There are likely just different fillers or a different manufacturing method being used. Do they still work the same for you? 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. ## Havn,t noticed any difference in size yet. I would like for them to be smaller. Maybe they would desolve faster. The one problem I see with smaller ones is th...

How long should I wait to take suboxene I took 8 mg diluadid at 4am ## Hello, Ivy! How are you? You need to be in full withdrawal from your drug of choice, before you take Suboxone, otherwise the Naloxone in it may throw you into precipitated withdrawals. After that, you should follow your doctor's dosing instructions. This is a narcotic, 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? ## Hi Ivy! I was on methadone and switched 2 suboxone. I had 2 wait until I was withdrawing b 4 I could take the suboxone. If u don't wait, as Dr. Verwon said," u will have worse withdrawals." So, make sure u r withdrawing, first. Everyone is different , but by...

Please help me find a dr for suboxine in decatur ga. I just moved here from up north and it's nearly impossible to find one especially one that takes your insurance. Please help me ## Hello, Dean! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you're having. Have you tried the website? Suboxone.com click here. You can search by zip code and their contact information is included, so you can call to see if they are taking new patients and will accept your insurance.

Hi, I want to thank a lot of the people on this site, I've been reading a lot of messages and replies and it has helped me through a lot of hard times! But here I am after 3 years and I have no insurance because I have been able to work more now and now I am having trouble paying for my suboxone! I started at 24 mg. And now I'm at 8 mg. And getting ready to step down so I can get off finally and be normal! But with all the problems I have been having with paying for my suboxone I haven't been doing too good, going up and down and not having the support that I need through my program has made my life hectic! And the anxiety has been real hell does anybody know how I can get the suboxone cheaper? I'm afraid of going backwards instead of going forward! ## Hi, Have you told ...

Been home from treatment for a week. While there for 30 days .... I started suboxone maintenance at 1 8 mg film a day. The entire time I was there, I felt great. No w/d symptoms after I took my first dose. Since I have returned home.... I have maintained my same 8 mg dose each morning. Within two days of being home....I have been feeling w/d symptoms around 7 pm each night. Freezing cold, nauseous, insomnia. As soon as I take my dose in the am I am fine then same thing happens each night. I most definitely feel that my dose is wearing off (YES I know about the half life and YES I was told that you don't build a tolerance to subs) BUT I know how I feel and after 7 pm....I feel like s***! All that being said...I am calling my Dr. Monday and explaining to him but for some reason I have...

How do I best stop using this crap. Been trying to do less and less. I had shoulder surgery got onto perks and vikes. Long term stuff but weened myself off. This one isnt so easy. Thinking I should have done this tge hard way rather than try other folks advice. Any suggestions? ## Hi Mark, It really depends on how much your taking per day. Subs have the long half life so that makes things so much different then the usual pain pill wd. I can tell you this, when you get down to 3 or 4mgs you should not drop more than a half mg at a time. You need to wait until your body feels comfortable on that dose. I,m talking a week at the least. It,s because of the half life. It takes a long time but well worth it. If you do this the jump will be fairly easy.

What up diluadid peoples this is church am Im going to tell you how I kicked H with subs. now Ive honestly tryed every thing in the book. First and for most you need to want it bad. I kicked It once when I got locked up but all I could think about is useing when I got out because I didnt do it on my own terms. any way suboxone is real powerful for real it doesnt take much and theirs a point where you will just waste it so start off any were from 18 -24 hours after last shot or how ever you do it start out with 2 milli grams cut with razor blade to get it percice wait an hour still fell like s***? take 2 more until you fell good you really dont need more then a full strip for the first day then 1/2 strip 2nd 1/2 strip 3rd then qurter strip 4th thats it you will only have mild withdrawals...

I am getting a scrip for suboxone because i have good insurance and my friend needs it and cannot afford it. I got the scrip by taking some oxycodone i had left over from a dental issue so when the doc tested me I tested positive. When I go back he is going to test me to make sure I am taking the subs. If I take them will they make me sick? How can I get them into my urine without taking them? My friend who takes the subs lives across the country so they cannot piss for me. ## Hello! is the suboxone price that high that justifies you goig through all that? ## Wow people go to all lengths to get this medication. The prices are ridiculous and the Doctor visits as well. For the cash paying customer its tough. Obama-Care? Huh? Most sub doctors my way will not even take it.

My boyfriend has been taking suboxone for over a year now. somewhere between 2mg to 8mg. i think its around 6. he decided to detox himself. so he loaded up on klonopin, nuerontin and colonadine. sorry about the spelling. he went 9 days without the suboxone the first few were pretty easy then the 5th day he was supposedly getting sick. so he tried scoring some more at the 9 day mark. i basically called all his drug dealers and convinced them to stop selling to him. he got furious and went chasing looking. not sure if he scored or not. After 9 days off shouldnt he have been clean and not feeling "deathly" ill. ## Hi Sophia, Suboxone has a very long half life. When I,ve jumped from subs in past I really didn,t feel too bad till about day 4. Everyones different. Some people don,t st...

if i take a 4mg suboxen 5 hours before a suboxen urine test will it show up ## Yes, it will! It is an opiate narcotic, actually, so it will show up on any test that checks for them. If you have a valid doctor's prescription, however, you just need to inform them of this, when you go in to have the test done. Do you have any other questions? ## Im in doc on house arrest i just got done doing 4 years te new drug in prison is subs. The only way they test for subs is if ur told on because its to expensive to test eeryone. It is a different test then the standard one. I am telling you this off personal experience. But the bottom line is if u dont mess around at all then u dont got to worry. Im outta here to all people down keep ur heads up stay strong ## Can you place a sublingual film o...
