Suboxone Alternatives
UpdatedMy husband has been on this drug for over a week to kick o.c.s. and feels like he's still in withdrawal. He's very weak and says he would be alright if he snorted an o.c. So is there another medication besides this drug and Methadone?

laura i have been on sub for 3 yrs. it is a miracle drug. how much was your husband abusing and what is his daily sub intake?
Maybe he needs a higher dose. Also, if he's taking any other opiates, it will react with the suboxen and he will go into withdrawal.
He may need a higher dose. I started on 8mg twice a day. Make sure he lets the whole thing dissolve under his tongue. There are some meds that will have a bad reaction with this drug. I take a narcotic for migraines and I can't take it with Suboxone. I know that I shouldn't use it at all but if I have a very intense Migraine then I have no choice. I am down to the 2mg tabs now and I only take a 1/4 in the morning and a 1/4 at night. It will get better.
my son is over most of the withdrawal symtoms from oxycodone, pretty large dose for about 8 months. He was told they would give him suboxone. He is on klonopin 1mg 3x's a day. the dose of suboxone is very small. a small corner off the 2mg strip. you can barely see it once or twice a day around 6=7 hours apart. he is now worried he will have respiratory depression and die and wouldn't know that it was happening. this was from a lady at the clinic where they give this to their patients. what can he do and will he be ok.
Yes he will be ok. My friend takes 2 strips per day plus the klonopin not sure of the dose of that. But maybe he should talk to his doc. If he is worried
He WILL NOT be ok if he snorts an oc. It sounds like he may still be using opiates because he should not be in withdrawals. Unless his dose isn't high enough but I was prescribed 3 8mg tabs per day and one day I went away and forgot to bring meds and I was gone all day with only taking a half in the morning and was ok not great but ok.
