How Long Does It Take Subutex To Get Out Of Your System?

Updated

I goto pain management and get prescribe 60 lortab 5's a month. So I run out in the half of the month do to my pain. But I end up buying subutex to were I won't get sick for the rest of the time being, until I go back to the doctor. But how long does subutex stay in your system? Thelast time iI did something was this morning and it was less then a quarter. But I usually do that amount twice a day. But I go to the doctor on the 23rd of this month and don't need to have that in my system. I have to only have loratab. Can anyone please help me, like asap?

Treat the doctor like a collegue. Tell him/her that 60 5mg hydros truly doesnt fullfill your pain management needs. If you have chronic not sporatic pain you should be on a long acting opiod such as Oxycontin or M.S. Contin which is long acting 8-12 hour morphine.

I would be as honest and its parent as you could be. Tell him you obtained subutex for obvious reasons and you have been to anxious to ask for an increase in dose.

Just a tip you may want to use. Unless you have constant severe pain, tell him you would like to take breaks every few months to avoid tolerance escalation and dependence liabilities. I would ask him for 2mg/day for your 7-14 day tolerance breaks.

one last thing, I have been on litterally every preacription opiod and unles you really like that oxy/hydro euphoria 30-50mg of methadone spread out in 5-10mg increments is the beat pain med if you plan on 24 hour treatment for multiple years. You can rotate back to Lortab every third month to keep your recepters from getting too aquainted with one opiod.

TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR AS A CO-WORKER NOT LIKE HE IS A GOD.

How long does it take to get Suboxone or Subutex out of your system for an in-house urine test? It truly depends on how much you take. Suboxone and Subutex were made to stay in your system for a LONG TIME, for a reason.
Buprenorphine (the active ingredient) has a half-life of 24-36 HOURS. That means if you took an 8mg tablet, just once, it will take you at least 3 weeks before you should feel safe taking an in-office lab test. If they are sending out the sample to a really thorough and sensitive lab, you need about TWO MONTHS to have undetectible amounts in your system.
If you are taking it every day, it builds up to a certain point in your system, so you aren't just running around each day with 8mg in your system (if you are taking 8mg/day) due to the long half-life. What this means is if you take 8 mg/day, then you may have between 12mg and 14mg in your system, each day, shortly after you dose. This is substantial amount of very long active opiod.
Remember, the labs that some places send samples off to, can detect as little as ONE part per BILLION in your urine! That means 1 nanogram per ml.
The basic rule is this: If you know how long it takes to get methadone out of your system for a urine test, then with buprenorphine, you TRIPLE that amount of days and that gives you a close time frame. It also depends in how much water you drink daily, also how much you sweat, if you take daily saunas, etc.
And yes, they ALL test for it, if you are on pain management.
Also, you are applying for a job, and even if you haven't taken it for a month, they may find it and identify it.

Warning: If you are not prescribed suboxone, it's dangerous to mess around with it. You could end up in the emergency room, or worse. if you have little or no tolerance to it, 1 mg is a LOT!
