Subutex 153 Half Moon Orange Pills

I want to start taking subutex 153 orange half moon shape pill in morning when I wake up. I took my last dose of opiates around 8 pm. Will I go into withdrawal? I am very scared that I will. I have done it before with suboxone and thought I was dying and it's something I never want to experience ever again.

Hello, Lisa! How are you?

Unless your doctor has instructed you otherwise, you need to be in full withdrawal, before you take Suboxone, otherwise it may throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals, again.

The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, 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 verwon its not suboxone, it's the orange 153 subutex - and people are saying you can take subutex right after you take opiates.

I also was wondering how long u have to wait to take Subutex after taking opiates? I heard that it's diff from suboxone and it doesn't throw u into instant withdrawl. I once took a suboxone to soon and ended up feeling like I was dying and wanted to die for that matter. Never felt so bad in my life. I heard that Subutex was diff tho and u didn't need much of a time wait. Is this true does anyone know?

Do NOT take subutex, suboxone, or any medication containing buprenorphrine while a full opiate agonist (morphine, oxy, etc) is still in your system. The bupe will competitively bind to your opiate receptors, effectively ripping off the agonists and throwing you into precipitated withdrawal. PLEASE take it from the voice of experience...don't just wait until you feel a little queasy or uncomfortable after your last dose of opiates. Wait until you are SICK and then take the sub, because otherwise you're taking a chance at the worst pain, both psychic and physical, that you're ever likely to experience.

Listen...if you take subutex.. YOU WILL NOT have withdraws at all. You can take a pain pill then 10 minutes later take your subutex.. No problems! You can even take suboxone, as long as you don't abuse it like so many stupid people do.

You will not go into withdrawal with subutex with opiates in your system. Only if their is naloxone in it, which is what suboxone has in it on top of buph

Hi Lisa, my friend can't take subutex at all as it too makes her sick. Some people are more sensitive then others. Also, if you have not had opiates in your system at all and just someone randomly takes a subutex, it will make them feel like the just died or something. You must have the opiates in your system before taking this medication..Its strictly use for substance abuse.
So sorry you got sick, but this wasn't the subutex that did it for that reason alone.

Subutex will not make you think through hell Iike suboxen does. If you take suboxen before you start going through full withdraws a d with opiates In your system it will make you deathly sick or It did to me.

No, you won't have or go into withdraws if you are wanting to start your SUBUTEX! Your safe to start it...I went through the same issue, I also call the pharmacist and he said safe to take.
Verwon, she said SUBUTEX...not Suboxone.

Subutex works way better. U don't have to wait that long like Suboxone. I can take half a Subutex and feel relief. Where as you have to take a full Suboxone and you don't get the same relief and u have to wait longer. I also take 1mg xanxax in the morning cause I get a mild case of anxiety with Suboxone. This is day one wish me luck. I have taken both before and the Suboxone works way better.

I agree with Greg. Naloxone is the drug that EMTs inject into patients who are overdosing and that is what is in Suboxone I can tell you for a fact that you took too much of the Subutex. You need to start with either an eighth of a pill or you will get very sick and nauseous and dizzy. And you won't build a tolerance for a while so don't go chasing a higher high. You will know when you can handle a entire pill. I was there plenty of times until I built a tolerance and begun my own prescription. It was actually with suboxone that I tried first and then the first time I tried Subutex I got sick again from taking too much. Both of these medications are very powerful and formulated to treat the worst of addicts with the highest of tolerance. So imagine that scale of Tolerance and where you belong when you take those medications. I used for 2 years and was up to about 60 milligrams of Percocet a day for the last year.

Yes, I agree. That's what I've always stressed when talking with others considering this medication. I was taking 15 to 20 pk's a day. I will as given SUBUTEX from my doc, and am still taking. I always tell people, be smart, it takes very little SUBUTEX to do what it's saposta do. Don't try and chase the high. If you can stick with a very small amount...why take more. It's a fabulous medication for its purpose. I hate to see people abusing it! What happens is, just like everything else, you start abusing then it makes it difficult for those of us seriously taking for the right reasons...then BAM...it becomes difficult for us to get what we need and DONT abuse.
Just adding this in
Peace

No you can take subutex with opiates in your system. You will not go into withdrawal. With suboxone that's a whole different story. But your in the clear with the subutex.

Re: Mermaid (# 42)

First off you have to have a doctor who isn't opposed to writing Subutex scripts for people who have bad reactions to the naloxone in Suboxone. Some doctors won't write it for any reason. Its usually a lack of knowledge about the naloxone causing negative side effect. Also alot assume it's more abusable or something. I started on Suboxone in 2006 and felt like crap every day until I changed doctors and she happened to up my dose one month but insurance wouldn't pay for more Suboxone so I got 2 weeks worth of Subutex. After 5 days I felt like the clouds parted and I started to feel normal again. Alot of people will tell you the naloxone doesn't get into your system or whatever but it definitely does! I told my doctor when I went back about how much better I felt and she was fine switching me. I have had to use Suboxone a few times since then in 2010 and every time I do I start to feel sick and depressed after a few days. Just find a doctor that knows what they are doing and just explain why you think Subutex would be better for you.

How do I go about getting prescribed Subutex?

I agree with part of that. But if a half a pill makes you feel Ok, that's all you should take don't work your way to a whole pill, if you are trying to get off of opioids. I have been dealing with the opiate addiction, trying everything thing I can do to get clean and stay clean. I can give anyone very good answers about any questions of the opiate addiction. You don't want to stay on Suboxone or subtex more than a month. Two weeks is best. If a half a pill works then taper down 1mg. every two days until 0.5 Mg for two days, and so on. Just remember there is no detox pill that will help you completely detox without any withdrawal symptoms, but they will be 80% better and easier. I have detoxed enough times to know what works best. I have been on opiates for 26 years and been trying and fighting this for the last 16 years. I wish you all the best luck with this addiction. It ruins lives so save yours or anyone you know and kick this addiction to the gutter where it belongs.
