How Do You Take Subutex? Swallow Or Put Under Tongue To Dissolve? (Page 2)

Updated

I have a friend who takes suboxone & recently got a subutex given to him. I take suboxone myself but ive never heard of subutex until couple days ago. I would like to know how is subutex supposed to be taken? Under your tongue or do u swallow it? I am worried about my friend & i have searched every site possible on information on subutex but none of these sites say how it is suppose to be taken. what are the side effects of subutex? why do doctors give pregnant women subutex & not suboxone during pregnancy? i need to know any & all information on subutex. i have hidden the pill from my friend until i can try 2 find some information on it & he has been sick but i dont want anything bad to happen to him.also is subutex a small white round pill with number 8 on one side & an arrow on the other & does it come in any other forms or colors etc.? I'm desperate for answers!!!!!

hi shazoo! well you can take buscopan which will help with the stomach cramps. this is what the doctors give you in England for the cramps and i only ever had withdrawal when i wasnt taking subutex and never withdrawn that bad off subutex but everyone is different, go see your doctor and see what they can prescribe even a pharmicist can advise you what to take without prescription and stick with it !! remember we didnt become addicts over night and we wont get clean over night but YOU can do this and i wish you the best take care x

Yes, the small white pill is a subutex and there is also a brand that is larger, white, and has the numbers 411 on it. It is the same as suboxone but does not contain naloxone (bupe only with cornstarch and other fillers). It should be taken under the tongue, however it is often abused by snorting or even injecting it. Injecting is very dangerous and can cause deep vein thrombosis which can lead to vein hardening and amputation, and possibly even death. If your friend is sick he should be getting his own prescription and not have only one pill that you are hiding. I'm not judging but thinking maybe it was purchased on the street...get him to a suboxone doctor for help. The subutex is usually only prescribed to pregnant women because of possible negative side effects from the naloxone that is found in suboxone.

No, this is why I take subutex as opposed to suboxone. I also can't stand the orange taste.

I have always swallowed my subs and wondered if they say u only get 20% of the affects, should the withdrawals be less if I quit taking them. I want to quit but scared of withdrawals. I can't afford to be sick more than a week or 10 days. Anyone no this answer. It would make sense since I'm only getting less of the affects.

If you had gotten the meds legally you would know this but since you must need them n since they should be OTC for all to use when needed Ill explain.Suboxin has a blocker in it so you dont get high if you shoot up.NEVER swallow subs.Cut into 8 pieces.Put 1 piece under your tounge. DO NOT DRINK EAT OR TALK.for no less than 5 min it needs to disove there.At 10 min SPIT IT OUT.It is not meant to be in your stomach.Its like toothpaste.If you do not feel 1000 times better take 1 more n repeat,no drink ,smoke,eat,talk.SPIT at 15 min.then brush teeth n rince mouth at the least.this should keep most people well 12 to 48 hours depending on your system.this leaves you w 6 pieces left.Wait as long as you can inbetween doses n you will have a better time weaning off.Do AA classes just to get a support person .Without support this is a hard battle.Hope this helped.

just so you know the amount of naloxone present in suboxone, oral or IV is too little to be active- the bupe is the real blocker not the naloxone, and is the reason why you did not feel the Vicodin.

MY wife died on the plane that hit the Pentagon along with my child. A cruise missile you say??? I think all the opiates are frying your brain. I agree your spot on with all the Pharmacology and I couldn't agree more that Big Businesses like the Pharmaceutical companies run this Country... But your 911 conspiracy s*** just makes you sound like uneducated white trash strung out on Pain Meds. Not surprised your a supporter of Ron Paul.... I gonna take a shot in the dark here and say your lazy ass is on disability and you complain about the same govt that sends your monthly check and pro ally pays for your section 8 housing too. I'll continue to pay my taxes soo losers like you can get your dope in a pill. I don't believe in medication. I have 3 herniated discs and shrapnel all throughout my body from 4 tours of Duty as a Ranger fighting for the freedoms of unappreciative losers like yourself. I take NO medication....its all mind over matter. Its amazing what the bodies natural testosterone and dopamine can do for pain when you learn how yo channel it properly. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get up off your lazy you know what

im sorry but your wife was part of the plan. Everyone who was on those "planes" are now deep underground being tortured or dead. this is the reality of the world we live in. The illuminati control everything. Cruise missiles DID hit the pentagon. look at the proof.

i dont like to tell people how to mis use subutex but i would rather you know how to do it properly than not at all, anyway im guessing its a tiny pill and yes its subutex and its the same as suboxone but does not contain blocker like suboxone anyway i prefer to snort them and you only need one miligram of that eight miligram tablet and if you have a tolerance then you will be ok with 2 miligram anyway split it into 4 pieces and crush one of them and snort it or you can put under your tongue and let it slowly dissolve and remember that the effects are very strong when snorted and weaker when dissolved and it will only take 30 minutes for it to start working unless you put under your tongue then it could take over an hour remember i dont think you should abuse anything but i guess you are going to do it regardless so i would rather you be safe and take care xx

subutex is a blocker! I did a 8mg sub at about 9 in the morning(Let dissolve under tongue)for about 25 to 30 mins...............At about 10pm the same night I did 100mg of morphine(snorted)and didnt even feel it! I went 3 days without subs and did another 100mg morphine....you better believe I felt those 100mg because I know longer had subs in my system,If you don't believe me try it! you won't get high if you take opiates with subs and thats a fact!

Actually Subutex should not be prescribed to women that are pregnant. How do I know? I had to do a pregnancy test in a treatment center to see if I was able to take subutex the doctor told me that if it was positive i would not be prescribed subutex or suboxone. There is a small difference between the two; Subutex is a stronger concentrate of buprenorphine than suboxone.

He's sick? What kind of friend are you give him the medicine and yes that is subutex. It's fine and you let it dissolve under the tongue and I was on suboxone while pregnant he's one now and healthy as an ox. If he is sick you need to give him the medicine...pooor guy...

Thank u for ur service to this country.I was checkn this site out because Ive been taking subtex almost a year now,& I've been considering quitting.So I'm googling around the topics on the net.You, I'm sure, hav amazing control as to mind over matter & I respect that ability as well as ur sacrifice 4those of us that couldn't or sadly those that careless and wouldn't stand & fight 4our freedom & safety.I didn't really understand the context or content of the posts between u & the "conspiracy guy" sorry this chick is late 2the table it seems.But once I read ur post I just felt (& im sorry 2 every1 for this off topic post) the need 2tell u that I appreciate u.I appreciate ur service.I truly appreciate ur sacrifice 4me.& Im glad that even thru the the receipt of multiple,varied & severe wounds,still dealt with 2day,& possibly the rest of ur days,that u hav been blessed w/the ability to maintain & positively affect ur physical pain.I unfortunately don't share the ability tho I truly wish I did,but I will continue searching for a way 2manage my pain,control the tendency toward addiction & hopefully still find my way off the subutex.I do admit I find the prospect of not taking it anymore disconcerting,& I've only just started the consideration.I hope I havnt offended ne1 going so far off topic I hav yet 2finish exploring this thread of posts but as I said I just felt the need 2stop here & express my gratitude 2this man 4 his sacrifice & deeds done n service 2us all.

every one gets a big tolerance when doing opiates. vikes and all that have never done anything.take 1 or 100 that day. nothing! methadone worked well for awhile but even then i was at 450mg a day and could have kept going with ease. your lucky you were that low on those few meds you were on. now I have a pain pump. be grateful that's all you had to do for those few years. remember people have it twenty times worse like me. glad your doing better though.

not all is mind over matter. some people actually have had horrible things happen to them and have to have something to ease there day.herniated disks were like a pinch on the arm compared to my problems. i wont go in to it beacuse it would take forever to explain but I promise you its not all mind over matter. plenty of people do over do it though. that's for sure. I'm glad your strong enough to go through what you are going through.

if a person has been on subs for years,,I mean over 2yrs...at whatever dose, sniffing 2mgs isnt going to make on differnce whatsoever..more than likely its just gona drain into your throat and nothing will happen at all. to get the best bang for your buck and most out of your MEDS, brush your teeth, rinse with antiseptic mouth wash (Listerine) and hold it tightly under ur tounge for as long as possible without swallowing.. its easier to break pill in half and put one on each side of under ur togue..All that will asborb into the blood system and DONT eat or drink anything for about 30mins after you dose..I like to do it while im in bed, before i get up for the day, brush lay down then i can have my dose under for over an hour and i feel it all day long thats for somone who been on 12mgs of Subs for 8yrs.. Dont sniff, its not worth it, really..
