Pw Confused And Slightly Scared!!!

Updated

Hey all....a little history about myself. I have been on suboxone for almost 2 years 16 mg a day. My purse got stolen which had my medication in it, I immediately filed a police report but with multiple calls to the insurance company, the pharmacy, and my doc I didnt have any luck getting an early refill. It takes one week for a police report to get approved so therefore was not able to receive a copy of it to get the refills, although I gave them the police report number it was not sufficient enough. My question is I have been taking a 30mg oxy a day to help with withdraws and let me tell you they have been kicking my ass. I get my refill this Saturday if I resume my regular dose will I go into PW since I've been taking the oxy for 8 days. I have not taken any other opiates besides this last week in almost 2 years since I started the program. Any advice will be helpful and thanks...

Hi, All I can say is make sure you give it plenty of time after your last oxy before you start back on the subs just to be on the safe side. I,d give it 17-24hrs. No sence chancing getting sick as a dog. Good luck.

Suboxone does contain Naloxone, along with the narcotic Buprenorphine, it is meant to help prevent the abuse of other opiates, while someone is under treatment with it. So yes, it may cause you to go into withdrawal, if you start taking it too soon.

You need to wait until you are in full withdrawal from the Oxycodone, before you start the Suboxone, just like when you first started it.

Your doctor can also probably help you with this, if you call them.

Are there any other questions or comments?

I've been a suboxone patient for over two years. And have bounce back and forth with small relapses during the treatment. Hopefully all went well for you when you got ur prescription this past saturday. But a person has to be withdrawling "dope sick" for the suboxone to work. If you still have opiates in your system and then take your suboxone, you WILL get very sick. I hope this helps
