Methadone To Subutex

Updated

I have been taking 30 ml of done for about a month. On tues I m switching to subutex. I was going to take my last dose of done Sunday then take nothing Monday. Go to the dr tues to start subutex. I know I will def be sick by then but want to make sure it's long enough cause I heard the horror story's of not waiting long enough. I've been a H, pill addict for about ten hears. I was on sub for about two years until last spring when I went to rehab. Got sober for a short period and f***ed up making a bad choice starting this cycle again. I think the 48 hours should be long enough. The dr actually said I could take my methadone dose mon but I m not taking the chance

Since meth is long acting I would give it 2-3 days.

hope that all worked out for you with the subutex. i saw your post and wanted to respond, because there is a person, VERWON, on a thread about similar stuff, who is saying the subutex wont hurt you because theirs no naloxone in it. if you dont wait long enough WITH SUBUTEX, you will be thrown into a world of hurt. i know from personal experience. yet this VERWON keeps telling people the opposite. he is going to send someone off of a roof if he doesnt stop!!! anyway i hope it worked out.

Maybe V means suboxone not subutex. Suboxone will make u sick w opiates not subutex from what I've heard. I took 2.5mg of done this morning felt WD this afternoon and took a subutex. I only have 4 subutex so I'll take as needed and hopefully I won't need more. Cuz I was down to 2.5mg of methadone I think my WD will be weak and short lived, God willing. I went cold turkey after a yr of 60-80mg of oxy a day and it was hell! Plus I have anxiety and panic disorder so it was bad, lasted 17 days. But what to do if u have a condition of severe pain but have a problem abusing ur meds.... Smh

AGAIN...subutex can ABSOLUTELY make you sick if used too soon after opiates. i know this firsthand.

No, you are wrong. subutex will send you into precipitated withdrawals, just the same as suboxone. I know this first hand. The only reason naloxone is in there is to keep people from taking the subutex intravenously. Buprenorphine will coat your opiate receptors and knock any other opiates off of there. PLAIN AND SIMPLE, whether the naloxone is in there or not. You guys dont have to believe me, but its true.
