Suboxone/morphine Addict 300mgs A Day (Page 2)

Hey I have a question and some info. I am getting ready to come off of 300 mgs of morphine. Started with vics, soon moved to 80mg of oxys, then to 100mg morphine tabs 3 times a day. I got into a suboxone clinic very expensive. I only pay 120.00 dollars for my morphine and now I have to go and pay 935.00 dollars for the first month without medication? I AM SCARED AND VERY NERVOUS TO START THIS...Any advice? And does anyone get there meds online? Figured if you can get narcotics why not the stuff to cure it? I have looked but I think it might be 2 new. Yes I will have a script for it in 8 days....HELP?

I have been on oxys on and off for 3 years. Lately I have been snorting anywhere from 4-8 OC 80's a day, plus about 5-6 OC 40's. I was on the Suboxone last year. I even still have the bottle with about 40 left in it. I can stop snorting Oxys. Its like I love them. I want to marry one. Mr. and Mrs. Oxy. She has always been there for me. When shes not I do get cranky...but when she comes back boy do I feel good! Shes always faithful...

face it man, you never told us if you got hooked due to pain or just needed a buzz, if it was for pain ask dr. to try aviniza time realease capsules an grad. come down till you re comfortable, an you have to bear a little pain or we won t know the messages our bodies are sending us, if you were on the medication for a buzz, i hope dr cuts you off, its dopeheads that make it difficult for real pain management patients to get realief

You need to find a new Doctor. Mine is charging me $250 a month plus Medicine. My insurance covers the medicine. Thank goodness. I was in withdrawl for 2 days and he put me on it right away. I almost instantly felt better. It's been about a week and a half. Thank God for Suboxone!

Hey Taylor, as far as buying on-line, man you just gotta take the time on every search engine and really look. Be specific in what you are looking for. Ask.com is a good search engine. Buy the way i'm currently on Suboxone 12 mg and wondering how long that crap stays in your system?

I have been on Suboxone for over two years due to addiction to oxycontin (320mgs daily). I have to say it has been a great relief and has allowed me to overcome my need for oxycontin, however, I can't stress enough the need for therapy and communication with other individuals on the medication. It is definitely not a magic pill, but it is the only remedy that I have found to be effective. One important thing to remember is, Suboxone is an opiate derivitive also, so it has potential for abuse. Thankfully, it seems to have a ceiling of effectiveness, so it tends not to be abused, because there would be no benefit. My concern is I don't know when I will be able to come off of the medication, and how intense the withdrawal will be, because there is definitely withdrawal with Suboxone as well as any other opiate, just much less intense, supposedly. That remains to be seen. If anybody has any questions or concerns about the medication, please do not hesitate to e-mail me. I'm not a physician, but I do have 2 years experience with the medication. If you don't e-mail me just know that if you are in the throws of opiate addiction, Suboxone can only help the situation, you have nothing to lose, however, I would think considerably about Suboxone therapy if my opiate addiction was not severe or long-term. Please feel free to e-mail me.

I am in California visiting my elderly aunt and to my dismay, I was told that this state will not fill Fentanyl patch perscriptions from my home state. I am a recovering Ovarian cancer patient and need them for myalgia and arthritis from the 18 months of chemotherapy. I tried going cold turkey and the pain is so bad that I can't get out of bed, my legs are restless and my stomach hurts and am nauseated and can't eat. This has ruined my vacation. The ER won't write me one either! Any sugestions? I have the hard script with me.

BINGO! I figured this was going to happen Taylor. Before i could reply, I saw your last message. Suboxone effectiveness increases from 0mg up to at most about 32mg. I would bet the 24mg/day you take now, would be just as effective as the 40mg you started on. Nothing was going to prevent what you went through. After that, more does nothing. It's called a "ceiling effect" that most medications of this type have. It's a strong narcotic, but only up to a certain point. That's why you felt the Morphine withdrawals "poking through". They were, and I was going to tell you that after a few weeks they wouldn't. The exact same thing happened to me after converting from 75mg/day of Methadone to Suboxone as you experienced. I started off on 24mg/day. No higher dose would have prevented it.

So I think you also did EXACTLY the right thing by reducing your dosage. I started Suboxone at 24mg/day, from 75mg/day of Methadone (For 5 years! Sub. wasn't available back then.), after a Multi-year 300+ mg/day Oxy habit. In 2000, I could get OxyContin (Chewable) out of Mexico, mailed from the US, as cheap as US pharmacies. Then EVERYONE discover MY drug! :(. So after spending a fortune, I finally went to the Methadone Clinic. A year or more before I got to 2 whole weeks of "take homes". $99/week. Suboxone is more expensive (at 24mg/day), but $99/week is $400/month, so it was maybe $600/month for the Suboxone. Ouch. I didn't have insurance.

At any dose, it won't be quite as potent as the amount of Morphine you were taking. Or the Methadone I was taking, so for a couple of weeks, while I wasn't in bad withdrawal, but I didn't feel "normal" either, and that worried me. But then I gradually did. And I now get a 3 MONTH supply, up from 2 weeks at the Methadone Clinic, where it was daily for 90 days, then every other day for another 90. I CAN'T abuse it. No amount gets me high, or makes me feel anything.

Someone said they get a nice little euphoric buzz in the morning after taking their Suboxone. I got exactly what he describes on the Methadone, but not with the Suboxone. :( LOL. Oh well, but it is still WAY worth it. A miraculous medication. And no standing in line like sheep every day at that stupid Methadone clinic! GREAT GOING TAYLOR! You did the right thing.

DON'T let this little tip, upset a great thing but: I found after a year, that I could drop from 24mg to 16mg, then after a month or so 16mg to 8mg, and I got down to 2mg pretty fast. I felt nothing while doing this. THEN it doesn't cost much. :(. I'm at 1mg/day now. I've been here for over a couple of years. Even at 1mg it blocks the effects of other narcotics great. I took 150mg of Roxies for my high school reunion, and felt almost nothing. So even at 1mg day, I can't "cheat" and fall back into my old ways. BUT ALSO note that after a year or so (or less probably), it is NOT real easy to come off of. And it doesn't really get hard until you get down around 1mg/day! Which seems really odd, but that is the way it works. From their until zero, you have to go real slow. But so what? You can get off of it, painlessly with patience. And when you're on it, you'll feel normal, AND if you slip up, and took your old Morphine dose, you won't even feel it. GREAT GOING. Good job sticking through the first couple weeks. Your body needed to adjust. Good luck Taylor.

Oh, BTW, A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: I took 150mg/day of Seroquel for depression (with Effexor). I slept like a baby. But during the day, it was like I had Alzheimer's. I couldn't remember a thing. I was dumb as a box of rocks. I lost a great job as a financial analyst, that I should have been able to do in my sleep. Afterwards, I forgot to get an insurance payment in on time and lost my health insurance (LOL I forgot. No surprise there.), and couldn't afford the Seroquel. And after a week, I felt like Einstein! After being so dumb, I had forgotten how I used to feel. I was pissed. You mentioned taking it. Even at 25mg it is sedating, and probably wouldn't have screwed you up. But to anyone reading this, BEWARE OF SEROQUEL! It's prescribed like candy too.

I've been on suboxone 5 yrs now, after being on methadone 5 yrs before that and of course any opiate (except heroin) since 16 yrs of age(Oxys and roxys being my fav) ..my advice..DO not start a sub program unless its gonna b very short and the withdrawals (I swear I'm not lying are 2 months plus on the subs!!) and that, my friend is y I'm STUCK paying 300$ a month for the dr visit...I was initially told no withdrawals..LIES! And I honestly wouldn't want my worst enemy on these things!!! I weened myself off methadone which was very rough but..I was able to do it and feel better within 2 weeks...honey, unless u know without a doubt that u have the money for sure to take this on..don't do it bc it's NOT worth the 2 month withdrawal oppsed to the normal 2-4 weeks!

I have been on suboxone for 3 weeks now and feel great. I take it for pain I hated that I needed percocets to function so my doctor told me about this medication. I only had to be in withdrawal for 12 hours and within 10 minutes of taking my first dose I felt great. I still have some pain but I don't have the urge to take more for relief. I guess I'm lucky from reading people's post and the expenses. I was spending over $800 a month on pain meds, I now pay 10 dollars for my monthly script. That's it - no co pay, nothing but the pharmacy cost... My insurance I guess handles the other costs... I consider this a miracle drug I feel normal and I'm not worrying on how I'm going to find more percs or where I'm going to get the money from... Good luck don't be scared...
