How Much Subutex Do I Need To Feel Better

It's been a bout 80 hrs since I took Methadone fir a week straight. I've been on Subutex for 2 yrs. I just wanna feel better. I have 3 kids and a job. Please help me. When will my Subutex work again ## Hi Evam, Sorry to hear about your situation. I realize it's been over a month since you posted this. How are you feeling now? Much better I hope!? Anyhow, according to MedsChat's half-life calculator, methadone has an average half-life of 37.5 (roughly three days). I've also heard from some medical professionals that it may take up to five half-life cycles for a medication to be completely out of your system ['hair' probably being an exception]. So 37.5 x 5 half-life's = 187.5 hours (or about a weeks time). I think it's always a good idea to double chec...

I woke up in WD and took a Subutex immideately. After about 45mins I still didn't feel too well, so I took another and feel much better now. Is this okay? I just read of people taking QUARTERS and it kinda freaked me out. Hah. Is it just that I may have a higher tolerance? ## What dosage have you been instructed to take, or are you trying to self-treat? If you're trying to self-treat, you should be aware that Subutex contains a very potent narcotic, you can learn more Buprenorphine details here and it can be very dangerous. Usually, the dosage is very precisely calculated to help prevent withdrawal symptoms. ## I'm self treating but I immediately went to just taking one a day. ## I forgot to mention that I was coming off of H. From doing a little less than a g to 1 Subtutex ...

I am on day 10 of a Subutex detox and I still feel kind of crappy and my head is really cloudy. I have to go for a job interview and I was wondering if anyone knew what would happen if I took an opiate to feel better for the interview would it affect my sub detox and set me back. ## No, it’ll make u feel a lot better. But it won’t hurt the detox. I detoxed once off of subutex using lortabs . It eases the narly w/d . Helps u get much need rest too. Pain meds. Aren’t crap to detox from in my opinion! I’ll take pain meds detox any dang day over sub w:/d you’re on the 10 where u seem to be in a still feel like craaaapp mode. You’ll linger there for another 2-3 weeks then you’ll start feeling better. But honestly you’ll have w/d periodically fo...

I am wondering how many days should I stop taking suboxone because I don't have enough to last till my appointment. I want to know if I stop for a few days, will I feel better when I take it? I can take at least 5 suboxone per day and still feel like I need more. I don't know why it is that way. I want to be able to take a lower dose, and I need answers. I need help with how to start taking them right - should I switch to Subutex? ## If you are in withdrawals (i.e. Watery eye(s) muscle aches, then later sweating and constant goose bumps till your skin is sore from it, and you can't tell if you're hot or cold because you're sweating and getting goose bumps aka HELL) then any amount of suboxone that stays in your mouth for at least 10 minutes will stop or at least ease...

I can say from experience these new 153 are no good...I cant say it more clearly - They suck!! If you depend on relief from your daily dose of subutex like i do, then be ready for a major LET DOWN ## Soooooooooooo True. I don't know what to do I hate these. ## Yea I think they suck, white ones so much better ## I just got these too and I am experiencing the same thing! Someone please help! ## Horrible, i feel like they giving me sugar pills, seriously feel like they're not 8mg. I have cold turkey detoxed before and i really feel like im withdrawing slowly over this month that ive had them. ## Sorry to hear about everyone's experience with these tablets... Reading all these reviews, including many on other related threads here, it almost seems to me as if the manufacturer (Ac...

i was on methadone 3x10mg plus roxicodone (oxocodone fast release) 3-5 @ 30mg/day. I stopped methadone several days ago and roxi a day and a half ago before starting subutex treatment today. I did not go into rapid w/d but feeling lousy now. I took 20mg of sub and feel a partial w/d like a weak flu and general lousiness. can't sit around and just want time to pass so I feel better. Does Anyone know if I am going to feel good anytime soon or is this or something similar in store for much longer time? will I feel better tomorrow and even further better in next coming days? please let me know as I am really doubting if I can carry this on if its going to be this way. Thanks a mil. ## My husband went through a similar scenario. DO NOT GIVE UP! It does get better. Give yourself at least ...

What is the difference between the large 8 mg subutex tablets and the small 8 mg subutex tablets? ## People argue that the large ones are stronger when they are the same milligram. Does anyone have some insight about this? ## The little 8 mg round ones with the arrow in the back of pill (prolly size of 5 mg oxycodone IR) are way better than Roxanne. They take effect faster and no filler and the plus it's so much smaller. Trust me, they work faster and last longer and have a cleaner bupe feeling. Btw, I hate suboxone - it's way diff. ## What is the difference between the subutex with the 54-411 and the one with just an 8 on them? ## I believe the color makes a difference.

I took 4mgs then 45min later took another 8mg. Should I take more? I don't feel worse but don't feel any better. ## Hello, Dave! How are you? How much has your doctor instructed you to take? The dosage of this medication should be calibrated according to how much of the relevant drug a person was taking, before starting treatment. The U.S. FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. ## If it was you're first day of subutex/suboxone treatment then no, taking more won't help. in fact it could make you're withdrawals worse... when initiating subutex treatment the patient needs to slowly build up the amount in their system i.e.; 2mg, 4mg, 6mg, 8mg, then remain on wh...

WHICH IS BETTER? I have been on a dose of 150mg of Methadone for approx. 8 or so years. I just recently heard of this drug Buprenorphine which is taken instead of Methadone. Does anyone know if this line of treatment is better or worse than Methadone treatment for Opiate Addicts such as myself? Thank You Very Much ## I used to be addicted to oxycontins, I started taking methadone but figured it wasnt any better for me than the oxy's. The buprenorphine is probably a better way for you to go. I am now on suboxone. They started me off with a med called subutex and you take it for the first three days and then they switch you to suboxone they are two different meds. One blocks only one receptor and the other blocks both. To get high, you need these two receptors to be open to feel the d...

I’ve really been struggling when my methadone dose went from 100 mg to 40mg. Barely does anything except I’m not violently ill. I have this "screw it all" attitude and am taking other narcotics instead. Not easy to find. My question is...what can I do to get decently priced help? Any ideas? ## Get on subutex.....or “generic Buprenorphine” 8mg ....I was on 40mg of methadone 4x a day and got off it in one day with zero feelings of uncomfortable withdrawls. Don’t know how but methadone made me feel horrible every morning so I switched and life is so much better ## First, why the big drop. On a clinic? ## That is a pretty drop in dosage.Was it your idea or a disaplinary detox. The only thing that will help now is either more done or try and get on subux...
