Exactly! I have been prescribed both also. By a pain management specialist. People don’t know what they are talking about.

Subutex is not suboxone so you can take the opioid and it wont block it.

Why can't you make her quit? You're her Mom, and she's doing two things wrong. 1, she's flirtin' with disaster by mixing the two, smoking percocet and taking Subutex. There's all kinds of things that are wrong with this scenario, but you might have to get creative to get her to knock this off. 2 is obviously the law. If she's prescribed the Subutex, where's she getting the Percs? I don't think from a doctor, yes? Take something away from her that's important, negative reinforcement, or set a goal for her to quit and reward her with something she likes.. Positive reinforcement.. Good luck hon..

Hi Sara, I live with chronic pain, and I've been on several types of pain meds, as well as PT, Injections, Spinal decompression's, etc. About three months ago my PM doctor introduced me to a new kind of Pain Control. It's called Buprenorphine buccal film,and it goes by Belbuca. That being said, I decided to give it a try. So far so good, and it's only been three months. The medicine is basically Subutex that's been designed to offer pain patients the benefits from a short acting med,as well as a long term one. These are 12 hour films that adhere to the inside of your cheek and remain there until they dissolve, 20 minutes or so.You get the full med ,100% absorption, and your on your way. I'm very happy with this med. It comes in various strengths, so I started out on 300 mcg, and a month later was adjusted to 600 mcg, and I think I'll be happy on this dose. Let me know if you want more info, ok?

Re: Curious80 (# 12)

Wrong. THEY ARE DIFFERENT MEDICATIONS. Subutex/buprenorphine has no NALOXONE (BLOCKER), whereas SUBOXONE does have the "blocker". Depending on the amt you take of either would be the determining factor of as to when it would safest to take "hopefully prescribed" said medication. About 12 -18 hrs for subutex. About 24-36 for suboxone. But really, a person is usually flagged for narcotics once prescribed for SUBOXONE. So good luck with all that.

Hi, I need some advice please. I'm thinking about giving up Percocet and going to Subs. Does anyone know how hard it is to go from pain pills to Subs? I need some advice and help please. I'm 58 in pain but I'm afraid eventually they will take all pain medications away from us. Thank you so much. I think I'm ready to give them up before they take them away from us.

i have never been so confused in my life. i have a double masters degree (neither one in pharmacology ) but i am not an uneducated girl. that said i thought taking any opiate within say 12 hours of subutex would give you super bad withdrawal symptoms? i have taken 3 8mg subutex in the last day but my dr wants me to be on percocet (5mg 2 every 4 hours) for a week until i'm off lomotil and my surgery site is better healed. i'm really just hurting now but have been trying to wait until at least 12 hours passed to avoid the nemesis...RLS. am i agonizing for nothing? it's been 7-8 hours since my last subutex. am i safe in taking the percocet now? thank you all for sharing and helping out those of us in unfamiliar territory.

No you don't. I took subutex this morning, and percocet just an hour ago and am fine... as long as it's subutex and not suboxone you can take them in conjunction with one-another... physicians prescribe them together... suboxone is completely different than subutex... suboxone has naloxone which is what we give to reverse opiates so NEVER take suboxone and an opiate together. Subutex has straight buprenorphrine, no naloxone, no withdrawals.

Lol as to the RLS. If there's one thing I can't stand that's the achy, wiggly legs/restless leg syndrome. And it always hits at night when I'm trying to go to sleep

Lol. I feel the same way about the little achy legs/restless leg syndrome. I can handle any other part of a withdrawal but not the RLS. When that kicks in, it drives me out of my mind.

First time with subutex tablets (54 411) - Can you take percocet while on it?

REPLY

I am completely schooled on those matters. I even took classes in pharmacy school I didn't have to take specifically on the subject. This board wasn't put here for people to insult each other so if that is your intention you should switch to twitter. Don't speak about other people like you know about them. I am not telling people anything about protocol, just how the drug works which you should know if you as schooled as you seem to believe you are. Do the research, bupernorphine is a partial agonist, it bumps out all other opiates but itself and sticks to the receptor. The amount of naloxone that even enters the blood stream through regular usage of suboxone is so negligible the body doesn't recognize it. Think. If it did the bupernorphine couldn't even be useful, it would be blocked as well. People in this thread can believe me or not, I only give facts. Go back and read the FDA reports when suboxone came out or read even the doctor leaflet that comes with the drug. The naloxone will only activate if you try and misuse the drug. It is simple science. I don't need to throw insults to prove I am smarter than someone. I have actual hard data facts. Concern yourself with someone else. I am trying to help people and you seem to want them to have misinformation. And I was curious about this forum in the beginning hence the name if you must know. Like I said the information is there in black and white for all to see. I am simply trying to help those who cannot read the words used in the complex scientific writing. I have seen no evidence of what you are saying from you or from any other reputable source.

I'm new in this field and the amount of time dedication and hard work I couldn't imagine anything worthwhile to loose the fruits of your labor not to mention the financial commitment it took. I guess like your name sake I'm just curious lol pun intended...,
