How To Take Suboxone At Home (Page 4)

Updated

I have ten suboxones. I have been taking oxycontin for pain but want to try at home to w/d. I can't discuss this with my doctor as it will affect my insurance. This is a fact..in my case... Can someone on here tell me how to take my subs? I would appreciate any answers and no lectures. How many do I need to withdraw..Thanks so much.

I am on suboxone, have been for 5 months and so want off, I take a quarter of one a day, my doctor had me on methadone, and kept increasing it, I am now hooked on subs, I am currently in an anatomy class and I think there has to be a way, exersize I think is a big thing and also try and get some sammy at the health food store, its strong mood enhancer but its all natural, If I find answer I will put on here

My husband got him self addicted to oxy's and i am trying to find subs currently and plan ahead on how to start and finish them. I have read all the forums above and appreciate all the input. I see how to start but how do i start to lower the dose of subs once i ease the pain in the beginning..
i understand that i need to wait 12 hours for the symptoms to begin.. then give him 1/4 pill wait 30 mins if he doesnt feel better give him another 1/4 pill and then once i get him to an acceptable amount... when day two starts how do i go lower. instead of a 1/4 pill 4 times a day... then what?

im taking subs now and my doc told me to wait till im w/d and take half of an 8mg film strip. felt so much better instantly after being so hurting from w/d. I guess take 2 halves a day for 2 days then cut that in half for 2 days and so on till you can cope without anything. its a process but better than being a slave to F*ing opiates

i dont know what u guys on here have been told but subs should not be used as a maintanance drug over a long period. it has bad wds if u use them over a long period, i was on them for 2 years and couldnt get off them. they should only be used as a detox drug over a max of a month. if u look hard enough u will find the truth on the internet. ive read things from docs that say u should not use it for long periods. do a taper from 8 mgs to at least 1 mgs in a period of about 2 weeks is the best.

Sometimes it can be a little complicated because people who are on subs like myself don't realize that they are addicted to it but not like extreme as pills and dope. I was doing dope for years so I'll tell you what I did. It can go either way, start off with a quarter or a half but honestly I would if I was you just try to take a little but at a time because your using a a sub as a crutch so you don't want to get addicted to them...id say like maybe 2 weeks, everyone is diff but once your done withdrawing from the pills n your out of subs it won't be that bad. I've been on subs for 2 years n the only reason I take it still is because in the morning I need that boost like energy n when I go as long as I can from not taking anything my back will hurt a little bit but it's really nothing. You just need to find what is comfortable for you n see what happens. Good luck

Make sure your well into your wd, wait at least 12 hrs. since your last dose of oxy. It doesn,t take much to be affective. Sit down, place under tounge, close mouth, tilt head forward, this helps to not swallow. Sit quietly for 5 mins. Spit or swallow. Do not drink, eat or smoke for another 5 mins. These are instrs. sub. dr. gave me. You could try 2-4 mgs. like I said, it don,t take much. Take at same time each day. If you felt allright on lets say 4mg. in a couple days try 3 and taper down. I,M NOT A DR. and you really should be under a drs. care when going through this. Sorry, I had to say that. Good luck.

Kimber, you cant take anything before you take a sub otherwise you will be REALLY SICK! my method of getting off my pills(roxys blue 30s) is take my last pill at 7 to 8pm and sleep as much as possible then wait about 15-18 hours to take the sub. but i sniff mine (pills) and they are Instant release so they last only a few hours in my system. Dont take any opiates prior to taking subs or you will find out the hard way

You HAVE TO wait till u feel the w/d symptoms first! Otherwise u WILL go into RAPID DETOX. Which means if u use* without waiting til u feel w/d symptoms then u'll go from feeling fine then w/in -30min u will feel like DYING! U'll be hot, then cold, then u'll want to shower from all the sweat, then jump out hotter then when u got into the shower, u'll want to rip ur hair out, then u'll tell try to tell ur mind to calm down, BUT NOTHING seems to help. U go from not w/d to the 3rd day of w/d (which the 3rd day is the worst) in a matter of minutes. PLEASE take my advice & wait til u feel the w/d. Then only take a 1/4 or less crushed up under ur tounge. Then only take it for up to 4 days, & be done with the addiction & no w/d's ( except the day or day 1/2 of w/ds b4 ur 1st sub) Google how long to wait b4 taking a suboxone. There's a chart for all different drugs (oxy, pec's, vic's, methadone, ect..) & how long to wait.

You HAVE TO wait till u feel the w/d symptoms first! Otherwise u WILL go into RAPID DETOX. Suboxone shakes all the opiates off your receptors, similar to a apple tree; the branches,(your receptors) with dangling apples, (the opiates) being blown by 200 mile winds, (Suboxone) would shake the apples off the branches... This will only happen if u don't wait for ur w/d symptoms to start.
Which means if u use (opiates) then try to take a Sub without waiting til u feel w/d symptoms then u'll go from feeling fine then w/in -30min u will feel like DYING! U'll be hot, then cold, then u'll want to shower from all the sweat, then jump out hotter then when u got into the shower, u'll want to rip ur hair out, then u'll tell try to tell ur mind to calm down, BUT NOTHING seems to help. U go from no w/d symptoms- all the way to feeling like it's the 3rd day of w/d (which the 3rd day is the worst) in a matter of minutes. PLEASE take my advice & wait til u feel the w/d symptoms... Then only take a 1/4 or less crushed up under ur tounge. Then only take it for up to 4 days & be done with the addiction problem w/ no w/d's ( except the day or day 1/2 of w/ds b4 ur 1st sub) Google how long to wait b4 taking a suboxone. There's a chart for all different drugs (oxy, pec's, vic's, methadone, ect..) & how long to wait.
I really hope my experience & advice helps someone.

Here's some really good information from a former addict.. I would go out and buy 10 subs on the street if you go to the doctor they're just going to over due it and then your going to have a new addiction to subs.. The trick is your not trying to get messed up off them just trying to keep your mind off opiates. I did one the first day in the morning and a half at night. Then each day after that you slowly ween yourself off I was doing 3-4 Oxys a day for 3 years and after 7 days of subs I was able to completely stop withdrawal free. I keep two at my house just in case I ever get any temptation and it completely changes my mind. I hope this helps:) I deffientely am a lot happier and healthier and I thought I would never be able to stop because I was "in pain" but in all actuality it was the Oxys that were making me in pain. Good luck!
