Want To Start A Suboxone Program (Top voted first)

Updated

Im want to kick my opiate addiction! I want to know how much suboxone will i need to take a day? Does it really work? How much does it cost?...etc... Ive been taking opiates for 10 years but only everyday for the past 4 years. I take 100mg-150mg of morphine or 20-30mg of methadone a day. I tried to quit cold turkey by slowly weaning myself down for about 2 weeks to nothing. What a mistake that was, even after 7 days of not taking anything i was just as sick as i was on day 1. I thought about getting on the methadone clinic but its too much of a hassle for me. I also dont want anyone to know about my addition, kinda hard to do when you need to go to the clinic everyday. I heard suboxone is expensive is it really worth it? I can live without being "high" but i cannot live threw the pyhsical and mental withdrawl of opiates or methadone.

The dosage will depend on how much of the other drugs you were taking, it can vary from person to person.

However, the information about being in full withdrawal is correct.

The price is also going to vary, depending on the clinic you go to.

You can find more information on it and its use, as well as see if there is a doctor in your area that provides treatment with it at the site, Suboxone.com

Are there any other questions or comments?

NO one answered his or her question about the cost, about how much per pill is it? With no ins. or co-pay.

I routinely take about 90mg of oxycodone a day (but am only prescribed 60, typical end of month withdrawal). I had my first experience with Suboxone very recently. I waited 36 hours till I was good and uncomfortable from the oxy withdrawal and then took a quarter of an 8/2 sub strip. I cut them with an Exacto knife. An hour later, I felt fine. I've since discovered I can get away with 1/5 of an 8/2. I can get 5 days out of a single strip. I don't know why I've turned my nose up at the stuff for so many years. It's a freakin' miracle.

Make sure u are in FULL withdrawals & then take like 1 eight mg saboxin & wait. The 1st day can b rough, but once the saboxin builds up in ur system u shldnt need much to keep frm feeling sick. I take like 1 eight mg saboxone the 1st dose, then 3/4 the next, & about 1/2 (4mgs) ea. day. Being on morphine so long u may need 2 do that a week or more. Play it by ear & reduce to like 1/4 (2mgs saboxone) to zero. Good luck. Its vry difficult b/c ur mind plays tricks on u & u get caught in a loop. After a while ur true self will come thru but it takes a month or more...justifying ur dependency is an easy thing to do. Good luck!
