Iv bn tking 16mg sub a day for three months want to know how long sub will test positive and how long do i have to be off subs before i feel the affects of methadone cuz i plan on getting back on methadone program ## 1st I have to ask, why go back to methadone? I've never heard of anyone switching from subs to methadone. I know most on methadone want off of it n want to be on subs. I was on pills n what ever for over 10 yrs, when I 1st started wanting to get clean I thought about methadone for mayb 2 seconds. I used to buy that s*** on the streets n get high! I knew it wouldn't do a damn thing to help me get clean plus I can honestly say in all my years being in this lifestyle, I ain't never met anyone who was actually able to get clean with the methadone. I've been 100%...

Hello everyone :) I'm 29 years old. I've been atticted to pain killers of all kinds since I was 25. I have been on Suboxone for 4 months now. I would like to share my personal, very positive experience taking this medication with anyone that has questions about it or is looking to start it. ## Hi Kristin, I've been reading around these boards a lot and there seem to be a couple of common concerns among people considering suboxone. 1) How and where to find a doctor to prescribe it 2) Is Suboxone affordable for the average person? If not, are financial aid programs available? Would love to hear more details about your experience with this! ## As to where to find a doctor who can prescribe it, there is a website just for that, which lets you search for doctors in your area. As ...

6 sided stop sign shaped pill with imprint of NB found and the person has an oxycotin addiction. ## I believe the marking you're looking at may actually be N8 and this is an 8mg Suboxone tablet, it's most commonly used to help treat drug addiction.

hi I need help asap, the doctors is my area are too expensive so my friend gave me 1 8mg suboxone pill and 4 8mg suboxone strips. I take 15 norcos at a time, 3 times a day, Im basically using suboxone to kick my withdrawls, how much should I take on day 1, day 2, and so forth? I really need help, ive run out of money and cant do the cold turkey thing because im a manager at my job and I have a baby to take care of. Any suggestons are welcome, thank you ## You were taking 45 Norco tablets a day? If that is the case, then you need to see a doctor immediately for medical testing, because you have been putting your life in danger and may already be suffering serious and dangerous organ damage. Norco contains Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen, each contains 325mgs of the Acetaminophen and at 45 ...

Hi, my name is Rebecca. I have been using opiates for about 3 years now, but I've only been addicted to opiates for a year now. I say opiates but I go back and forth between opiates and suboxone. For the past year I have been using suboxone almost everyday(supplied by boyfriend) and he does it too. Last week my boyfriend and I went through a nasty breakup and he hasn't been giving me anymore suboxone or using it himself either. We were together 5 years and were happy(I'm absolutely devastated.) snd we also LIVE TOGETHER. however, I could go on about what's been going on in the relationship and how upset I have been, and him just going out and partying like nothing happened, but that's not why I'm typing this. So back to last week, we broke up and quit taking subo...

I've been on subs for 17 months.started on 16 mg and I'm down to 6. I have a problem at the clinic where I'm getting them prescribed. I have never failed a drug teat. However, they want me to go to their counselor every week and see the doctor every other week. This is a problem with my work schedule. It is hard enough getting out of work early every other week, let alone every week. So I made an appointment with the new doctor and have it today. Should u be honest and tell him I just came from another program? I would like to up my dose a little. I have been buying ALOT of extra(8mgs) and taking them on the side. I don't know why. My mind leads me to believe that I'm feeling better. MAIN PROBLEM--- I don't want to go to the new doc and him write.me a script and ...

Thank You Barbara ## I am taking 1 80mg oxy a day or an average of 10 norco 10/325 a day and am really wanting to quit.

Does Saboxon show up positive on a drug screen? ## Yes, Suboxone is a narcotic. ## My Doctor said no. If they test for it yes but, who test for suboxin ? Most places test for thc, coke, meth and opidits and as long as you are prescriped it then u good ## Yea it will show up on a drug test. Suboxone is a form of methadone; most test for that. If you have a script though your good. ## I was told that it definitely did not come up on drug screenings by my doc. I had the same concern as you and he reassured me, even if you are screened for opiates. ## SUBOXON does NOT come up on a drug screen, nobody tests for it at this point. I can take suboxon right now and go give my PO a urine sample and it comes back clean. I think that if you have no 'personal experience' with these questions...

Sub, lower amounts of oc and rox, periodically over the past few years (5) by friend and I are taking to time to finally hit this cold turkey. Today would be day 4 with no sub. 3 for one of us 6 for the other. 3rd time quitting cold turkey. Each time has worked. I am just anticipating the worst. Last night was a reminder of what the worst feels, 0 hours of sleep. WE have a divine friendship, we were are in this together. We have benzos, colonize, Cannibals or weed, addy. L Tyrosine, and I think moral support being the most important thing. Our worst experienced of sub dosage was probably a 8mg strip. but that only being a minuscule about just enough to get by, typically about 2 mg o rless for the better part of 4 years. We weren't poor but we are the only few people who know the ***...

I take soboxone and tested positive for opiates, specifically oxicodone. ## Hi Crys, Suboxone testing false positive for Oxycodone is actually one of the most frequently reported mishaps here. If the doctor or lab isn't using an actual certified test, false positives can occur anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time. Which is pretty high, considering the outcome of these tests can effect people's lives so significantly. I would definitely attempt to fight back and get a certified test or just prove to them that their mistake is their mistake. You can find a reference stating that Suboxone causes false positives for Oxycodone via the link below: askdocweb.com/falsepositives.html I hope this helps! ## This post I'm replying to is pretty old but still...thank goodness - someone else...

I had a ut, and put a bodgy away by Disolving suboxone in my sons urine. It came back as positive for morphine ... Does this sound right? I figured it would just show as suboxone... Now I have breached parole and looks like a holiday over Christmas ## Do you happen to know what type of test was done? If it was one of the instant read tests and you just dissolved Suboxone in the urine, then a false positive for something else really isn't too surprising. Learn more drug test details here. The main thing those tests are designed to read are the metabolites of the drug in your urine and they don't appear unless it's actually been processed through your body. Thus, it was detecting odd concentrations of the drug itself, with no metabolites and you confused the test.

how long does suboxone stay in your urine? ## Hi becky, I may not have a straight answer to your question but from what I could gather, Buprenorphine.com, a non-profit division of the U.S. National Institutes of health, states that Suboxone has a half-life of 24-60 hours. This denotes that the drug has the potential to control opioid cravings over that time span. Half-life here means that, say, 30 hours after ingesting Suboxone, half of the active amount will be gone. This doesn't mean that 30 hours later, though, the other half will be gone. At that point half of the remainder will be gone, then another half after the same time interval, and so on, until the drug is eliminated from the body. If you know the dosage you had, we can do the math to estimate how long it could've rem...

I took 4mg of suboxone for 3 days, I've not taken it for 3 days and I have a drug test on the 4th day, will it show in my piss test.? ## Help? I need a answer, today is my third day and I go tomorrow for my test. ## I'm sorry I didn't see your post sooner. The Buprenorphine in Suboxone is usually detectable for approximately 7 days after last dosing. The precise time frame can vary from person to person, depending on factors that are unique to the individual, such as your metabolism, overall health, fluid intake, activity levels and etc. but 7 days is the average for most people. Learn more drug testing details here. Do you know what type of test they are using?

i took 2mgs thurday will ipass urine test sunday? ## For the Buprenorphine in Suboxone to be detected a specific test that looks for it is required, as it is not included in the standard tests. However, if they are looking for it, then it is usually detectable for approximately 7 days. The precise time frame can vary due to characteristics that are unique to each individual, such as your metabolism, overall health, fluid intake, activity levels and etc. but 7 days is the average for most people.

I want to know if this is possible if taking a lot of Vistaral and a lot of Neurontin would overdose me ## Hi Innia, Your question is a bit vague, as it is possible to overdose on virtually anything (including water) if you take "a lot" of it. In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If you have reason to believe that you're going to collapse or stop breathing, then you should probably go straight to 911 and not wait for a response on a forum. How much of these drugs have you taken?

I started taking suboxone Oct 1 after 13 years of methadone. I started at 3 a day and for the last 2 weeks im down to 1 a day. How quick can I get off of Sub? Ive been taking it for days now. The methadone is gone now I want this gone. ## Well, it's usually tapered very slowly to prevent the withdrawals and cravings that usually cause someone to end up back where they started.
