White Round Pill 54 411 How To Take

How do u take a subutex? Is it the same as taking as taking a suboxone?

REPLY

REPORT

This is an 8mg sublingual tablet and yes, they are used in very similar ways to treat the same things, except Subutex eliminates the Naloxone that can throw someone into withdrawals from taking it too soon.

Learn more Subutex details here.

Since it is also an opiate narcotic, it does have the potential to be habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and constipation.

Are there any other questions or comments?

Does anyone else have any advice to add?

Hi katiy,

I haven't found any prescribing information, but a recent review from another Subutex user was stating that "the pamphlet says to just let the tablet dissolve under your tongue, and to not swallow the tablet."

Subutex is also listed as being a "sublingual"; which literally means 'under the tongue'.

Did you not receive any pamphlet/instructions from your doctor or pharmacist when you picked up your medication? I only ask because much of the dosing protocols may also be very patient specific to better suit your needs. For this reason it may be best to just go ahead and confirm that with your doctor.

I hope this helps!

My name is Kristin and i was on methadone clinic for about 2 years and was on 110mg. One time i missed my dose and took a half of a subscribe and it threw me into IMMIDIATLEY P. W.S IT WAS HORRIBLE. I was obveously never told not to ever do that and didn't know any better. But i went to rehab and came clean off of the 110mg (a day) methadone almost 11 months ago and after being clean off of that for a month i got out on subutec so i have been on it now for about 9 months and i take 2, 8mg tablets a day. Ive done a lot of research and caint find a straight yes or no answer but my question is if i took 112mg of methadone would it throw me into emmidiate withdrawals? Or any kind of withdrawal? Im asking because im about to run out of my prescription of subutex early and will be all i have to take. I take them differently due to the taste making me vomit if i let them dissolve so they wear off A LOT quicker than they would if i were to let them dissolve under my tounge.

Yes it's the same as taking suboxone, just put it under your tongue and let it dissolve. Don't swallow it and it's better to wait like 20 min before you drink anything.

So you just spit it out once it has dissolved under tongue?

Lmao no goofy you swallow the saliva as its dissolving under your tounge. Why would you spit it out? That would defeat the whole purpose.

This is actually mis information.. You shouldn't swallow the spit AS IT DISSOLVES 'goofy' -- the whole point of taking it sublingually (under the tongue) is because of the blood vessels under the tongue, this is where it is best absorbed by the body. The bio availability for sublingual dosage is supposedly higher than straight swallowing the dissolved goo.. This is also the reason why you let it dissolve and then let it SIT under your tongue for at least 10 mins, and not to eat or drink anything for around 10-15 mins before or after you dose.

Don't get me wrong, you can most def swallow this disgusting spit, just wait til after you let it sit under your tongue for 10-15 'mins. If taking suboxone -- swallowing the spit is discouraged if you develop headaches, that's due to the naloxone in the suboxone which subutex doesn't have..

Don't listen to all these goobers (sorry, most of them..) on here, do your own research, google is your friend. Listening to some of these i****s is bound to get you killed.

First of all ur not clean if you have been on methadone or subs, I don't know why everyone says oh I've been clean for a year except all the subs or methadone they are just as addictive as pills. Ur not clean unless you are taking nothing. I've been an addict for the past 5 years my soon to be ex husband gave me my first pill. It has ruined my life. I've lost everything that I worked so hard for; even lost custody of one of my sons.

Yes stopping subutex will cause withdrawal. It like methadone must be tappered down. You must wait 3 days after last methadone before taking suboxone or subutex.

Well, there is a HUGE amount of misinform here. First, Subutex AND Suboxone block the receptors in your brain that perceive opiates. It's not naloxone. Buprenorphine has a higher affinity to those receptors than pain meds and naloxone. Do some research or ask your doctor and you'll find out for yourself. Also, getting put into immediate withdrawal, or, "precipitated withdrawals" can happen while taking Suboxone (with Buprenorphine & Naloxone) or Subutex (Just Buprenorphine). The point of the Naloxone is to make it more difficult to abuse. I highly recommend people doing in depth research about these medications before following the advice of people who can't even spell the name of the medication they're trying to explain.

Yeah it is addictive but if used correctly it's pretty harmless. It's not like popping percs, I never took it to feel high.. there's a big difference between taking a drug to get f***ed up versus what's prescribed. Not popping pills is clean. Especially if your taking suboxone that has an opiate blocker. How can you say that person is not clean, what are they cheating? I'd rather not even take a substitute, But if it keeps me off opiates it's doing the job. Subs are very addicting but it's only meant to be temporary. Not doing drugs is not doing drugs. You can't say that someone who is dope free for a year isn't sober because they were taking subs.

Is it harmful to use Xanax with subutex?

REPLY

Actually you're not "clean" you're just off the illicit drugs. To be CLEAN means you are free from all mind or mood altering drugs. And Subs are mood altering. So NO you are absolutely NOT clean. You will be clean the day you never need a pill/drug to get through the day. End of story. Be you like you were as a child or before drugs or alcohol were in your life then you can consider yourself clean. Until then you are still on drugs.

Re: KNG55 (# 5)

I did the same thing about 13 years ago. I went to the methadone clinic and missed my appointment one day and someone gave me a sub and not knowing any better I took it and went into the most horrible withdrawals imaginable. The EMS was called because I was shaking bad and the hospital did nothing for me but put me in a room by myself and checked on me once before releasing me. Late that night the symptoms wore off and I went bato the clinic the next day. I guess it’s true that you take pain medicine after taking the subs but not the other way around.

Re: Bruce (# 108)

You can break Subutex. I break mine into half's or 1/4s every day. On another note. Don't take any other opiates with suboxone or Subutex. It will either put you in withdrawal or not work. The suboxone will put you in withdrawal if you try to take it any other way then putting it under your tongue. Even if you crush or break it.

Be careful all of you I pray all works out for everyone.those of use that have been stung by the scorpion,it is no joke the monkey on your back is always there and steadily waiting for his chance to persuade you.I was clean almost 6 months finally had everything back I lost plus some,but as this discussion is heating up my relapse was the same I just wanted to tell people you can do it!!!And keep trying but one day I got into a very intense debate about what should be taken to properly get clean,but it was a setup,it was the moment my monkey was looking for.He jumped into the middle where he was the center attention and me tired of arguing said fine ok I'll show you,your way doesn't work let's quit talking and meet again in a couple months and see if your finally clean.God,the monkey worked his way into my mind thinking well maybe his does work,maybe I can try it just once and see if he's just getting high or trying BAMMMM!!!! HOOK LINE N SINKER! I am now 8 month using again on the needle and cant find my way out please respect others opinions is all I'm saying Godbless!
