Taking Suboxone While Positive For Hepatitis C (Page 2)

I have been on Suboxone since 2007 and it has always done wonders for me I started out on it for Opiate Addiction But am now on it for Pain management and they said I would be on it for the rest of my life. But Recently I have been getting bad pains in my side where my liver is and it makes my tongue raw and my throat swell, So I had Blood work done and found out that I am Positive for Hep C. Will this allow me to be switched to Subutex instead of Suboxone? Because I have been taking Subutex recently and they Dont give me any issues with my tongue or my throat or hurt my liver, Does anyone know if this will allow me to be switched to Subutex?

I know this is old, but wow. YOU took Subs for 7 years and you are going to judge someone else who takes it as well? Some people have zero empathy and I'm glad you aren't a doctor.

There is only if your hep c is bad enough then your insurance will pay for it but if it's not bad enough and you can afford the treatment then you have to wait for it to get bad.....

No need to switch medication. I know many ppl w hep c and stay on suboxine . Subutex is for pregnant woman. Zubloft is commonly mistaken with subutex.

How long have you been taking the two? Because if you just started say in last few months, I don;t think it will be a problem

I've had 3 major back surgeries and Subutex or suboxone was never prescribed for pain and has never worked for pain. But helps a 100% for WDs and to get clean off opiates. It's a great medication if used correctly. I try not to stay on it no more than 10 days. Remember one physical addiction leads to another.

WOW!! I have a question now. So being on Suboxone can make you susceptible to Hep C?!? I’ve been on Suboxone for severe, chronic migraines a little over 3 years & it’s got me concerned.
