Suboxone 8mg/2mg And Roxicodone 30's (Page 7)

I am currently taking Roxicodone 30's each day. I have suboxone 8mg/2mg to help get off of these. I know the suboxones are the best pill made to help with the withdrawals but I'm wondering if for the firsrt 3 to 5 days when I'm having trouble sleeping and feeling clammy, if i should take like half of a Roxicodone 30 (which i have done in the past), as it helps me to sleep and takes away the clammy feeling? Any other suggestions that you may have? Thanks to anyone answering this for me.

Not very positive info to give someone trying to get off and get their life together... Trust me i'm going through withdraws and its hell. Litterally by far he hardest thing I have ever done. Trust me take the subs they are the only things that get me through a day otherwise I feel like i'm dieing... just think 3 to 7 days of hell to get the rest of your life back an plus u never have to feel dope sick again..... Well worth it.

I have been taking Roxys now for about 4-5 years and at one point I was up to 8-10 30mg a day, I unfortunately live in the the worst part of florida that has the biggest problems with these pills. I have been taking Subs on and off for over 2 years now to try and get off the roxys.(we call them blues here) it all depends how many mgs you take a day, if your only at 3 a day one 8/2mg pill or strip will absolutely work. you do not need any more then that, anyone who says otherwise is crazy. I knew people who were shooting up 30-40 even 50 30mg pills a day and they are good with one 8/2 mg sub to stop the withdraws. Pasco county florida is the worst county in the US for theses pills. (where i live) everyone i know is hooked on them, whether they wanted to be or not. Lawyers, doctors and everyday ppl are hooked on them here. along with the scumbags and whores. any type of lifestyle you can think of. its baddd... and very sad. trust me unfortunately i know ALOT about them. doctor shopping is a natural thing for some ppl round here. I can prolly call 10 plus ppl who have them or can get them... subs r the best way to get off of them. But you can get hooked on them as well... taking them for a week will not get you hooked, ive done it. half of these ppl on here just want to get the same high but if your serious about quitting let me know... i'll help you.

This is in response to "pleasehelp" I know you wrote this a really long time ago (a year)...but I need help. I am getting ready to start my subs (strips) on sunday. I have been in a clinic for a long time (3 years) and have been taking opiates for quite a long time. I am medically addicted and I am tired of these opiates running my life day in and day out. I want off and free. My life is a little complicated so I can't go to doc but I do have subs and quite a good amount. I have tried several times to use subs to quit but have struggled due to some of the side effects and always went back to the opiates to just feel normal.

Here are my questions. I want the subs to hopefully one day feel normal again, wake up with out feeling sick, sweaty, clammy and gross. I want to laugh...like a real laugh again where I can "feel" happiness again.

How long after taking subs do you start to feel normal and not have WD symptoms. I have noticed after waiting 24 hours after taking last opiate then take sub I still feel the cold sweats and WD symptoms. I don't understand why. Then honestly after taking subs for oh say 3-5 days sold I STILL feel WD symptoms. I don't understand that. If I have at least a time line like oh after 1 week you will start to feel really good then mentally I can handle it. And not relapse because I can't take the WD and want normal.

I am so beyond committed to quiting. I am to the point where I envy those people on TV that laugh and smile and I say man is that what normal people feel like?? I want that life again.

So how long after starting subs will you start to feel normal?
How long should I take subs before I can safely start to ween off subs and live a clean and normal life with out subs or pills? (I don't want to come off too early)
Also should I start with taking 1 full 8mg sub for the 1st 3 days then may go to 4mg a day for the rest of the time? (I was taking 2 30mg oxycodone daily and 2 30mg ER opana daily for approx 1 year). so not alot...but enough to be very very addicted.

I just cannot find any advise online as to how to start taking subs, how long before I feel normal on subs, and how long I should take subs before starting to ween off as my goal is to be on nothing as quickly as I can.

Thank you

When I stopped I i experienced the WD chills , well goosebumps for about 45 days. TO start with the subs I try to takeas little as possible as thy scare me more. I have been on them from doc for a few months and stopping those was far worse than the opiate WS. Anyway, I try with half a 8mg sub. If in an hour I still feel off, I take anohter 1/4. That usually doesit for me , and everyone is different. The opana is something you should be aware of. THis is a time relase and I beleie hat I read somewhere it stays in your system longer than any other time release. If you can stop these for a day or two before youstart the subs, i wouldsuggest this,.I have aways taken the subs 12 hours after my last pill was taken. I take then the sub spoke of in the morning and another 1/4 in the evening. I take another 1/2 sub the next morning and see if that lasts all day. Sometimes I am ok until he next morning. THe third ay I take a 1/4 sub amd by day 5 I nl take them if I feel like I am having symptons. I feel like once I get past the first 7 days I am ok, THen I look at the next milestone of 2 weeks. The goosebump feeling does start to lessen each day but i took 2 months last time. I am starting all this next eek all oer again. It is so hard to remain, lets facit, when we ue it heps to deal with whatever we need to in life. The depression is the hardest. I read how people say go see a terapit and excedrcise helps to lssent he WDs with teh oxygen to the brain , blah blah blah. I do not at to even leave he house to go to work let alone go talk to someone on the couch and feel like a bigger loser than I feel I am? THat does gt better thouh once you look in the mirror and see how much healthier you look. People will notice that you look better and comment. For me, I became friends with somne that helped me out of that deep dark place, however their friendship was not long term and I do not think that helped much. I am in a better place mentally and think that I can move forward and hope to stay off everything. I do not thnk you need that muc to tart but as I said eveyone is different. Start with a half and wait an hour. IF not better then take the other half. I will not take them fo more tan a week , the physical WD are over usually for me by then. Your issue in th ebeginning is the Opana, the time release lasts a long time, IF you can again stop those for a day or two and just take the 30 Roxi for a few days I think you will respond better to the subs. I wish you luck as I am going down the same path next week, I put myself on a schedule. COntact me whenever you wish!!

Other comment, it took me a month before I laughed. It caught me off guard and when I laughed it was a gfenuin laugh that I have not experienced in a long long time. You will know it when it happens, it is a deep down belly laugh. Also, the two times that I have stopped using I became ill with a respatory infection, i spoke to someone else yesterday who said she does the same. also by immodium for the first two weeks and do to be afraid to take it you will need it.Try to sty hydrated. I hd t do all this while going t work I do not have the luxury of laying in bed for aweek until it passes, I am a single mom and have to do ths wihout anyone knowing. Alone is no fun, support is thebest thing, if I can help please let me know

Yes, it will work. A little sub goes along way. I have a Ministry called "Life after methadone with Jesus, and as much as you may want to take more of the sub to get energy or make u feel "normal", don't! it was equally awful coming off the sub as methadone. I hope this helps. But I would def. wait till u feel flu symptoms b4 taking the sub. years ago, I was on oxy and then went to subutex and threw myself into complete and shear hell...I will pray for you all. Thank you for allowing me to speak.

you should know that barbituates and suboxone can be fatal mix....I suffer from epilepsy and was hospitalized for seizure induction..the specialist at a renowned hospital informed me that when I began to seize they could not administer ativan (typical protocol drug pushed to stop convulsions) because I am on subs....I was terrified that they wouldn't read my records at shift change and a doc would push barb's without realizing sub treatment.....my physician has lost 2 patients by interaction of nerves/subs

I too have this happen to me I. . Taking .05 xanax 4 times day plus MSCONTIN 60 mgs. Every 12 hours at first it scared me but it has been harmless. I hope you are able to understand what and why it's going on. It s most likely a side effect.

When I had experienced this I Was on pretty much the exact dose about. THEN got on Suboxone. The first time I took it I never felt that hi ever again....but after a few doses u get no feeling and it doesn't help pain. I.M A pain patient, directions on Suboxone say NOT FOR USE FOR PAIN PATIENT'S. So the first week I couldn't wait to take my next dose. After 2 months cold turkey just stopped it. I have never been so constipated . I drank adequate wAter, big bowls of shredded wheats. THAT WAS scary it was like 7 days one time with no bowel movement. Went to Er got it resolved. So just some pros and cons of Suboxone it does work for cravings, I had no withdrawal on Suboxone. SUBOXONE IS BEST TAKEN 2_-3 days after your last opiate dosing. Good luck it does work..

Hey Momma, please call me Grammy. It sounds as though you've been there and done that, and that it is a journey. Well, I've just considered the possibility of beginning to walk the road you're on as well. Please send me an email? Sounds as though you've got lots of stories to tell, and I'd appreciate it if you'd be willing to share them with me. I have many questions, and feel very alone and unable to talk about this mess I've gotten myself into to anyone.
