Is Suboxone A Form Of Morphine

I have been using 1 mg of suboxone once in the late morning for the past 3-4 days while waiting for a refill on my 30mg morphine tabs. I took a dose of the suboxone around 10:38 this morning, so the question is: will I be okay to take a dose of my morphine around 6:30 this evening? It will have been about 8 hours. ## Hello, Sasha! How are you? I will still take several days for the Suboxone to release from your opiate receptors, so you'll need to give it about 3 days, before the Morphine will be able to have any effect. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Does suboxone have morphine in it, because that's what they are talking about giving me? ## Hello, Emma! How are you? No, Suboxone contains Buprenorphine, which is an opiate, and Naloxone, which is used to help prevent people from taking other opiates, while they are being treated with it. The 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I went to my drugstore to fill my suboxone and the pharmacist told me my morphine level was too high. What did he mean? Confused and aggravated...

I've been taking 40gs of long acting and 240 of short acting daily for several years. The last month before converting to suboxone I tapered down. 12 hours after my last dose of long acting morphine it took 8mg of suboxone and started a3x a day 8ng of suboxone. I feel great. No side effects except 1st day had a bad headache. ## Wow! Those were very high dosages, so I'm glad that the transition went so smoothly for you. Some people have problems getting the dosage of the Suboxone just right. The FDA lists these medications as being narcotic analgesics, so they have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Are there any comments or questions? ## There's a company called point of return that...

I don't take suboxone on a regular basis. I took a quarter dose of suboxone today. When can i take my other pain medication? ## You'll need to wait about 72 hours, otherwise the Suboxone will just block the effect of the Morphine. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Does that count if you have been taking it for u months too? Been in subutex for 7 months for pain management and I can't afford it so I'm going back to my percocet 7.5s. Any advice verwon? It cost me about 500 a month for my subs. And my percocets were 4 dollars a month. I'm getting surgery in November...

I took one 8mg/2mg sublingual suboxone strip yesterday, breaking it up into quarters. I took the last quarter of the strip around midnight. Will it still be a full 72 hours before 50mg morphine will effect me? ## Yes, otherwise the Naloxone will block the effects of the Morphine. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I really appreciate your reply, but found it to not really be true. . After 24 hours, the morphine worked just fine.

Hello, I take 8mg of suboxone daily, I'm having really bad pain right now. Will morphine take my pain away? I'm now looking to be high what so ever I need this pain to stop will it? ## Hello, China! How are you? No, the Naloxone in the Suboxone, plus the way the Buprenorphine clings to the opiate receptors prevents other opiates from working, while taking Suboxone. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Have you consulted your doctor? They may have an idea of what may help your pain. Are you on any other medications? Can you take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories?

I took 16 mg of suboxone at 4am Saturday morning and got my morphine filled now. Is it safe to take it after 16 hours? ## Hello, Scott! How are you? No, the Naloxone in the Suboxone will prevent the Morphine from having any effect, you usually need to wait at least 72 hours, before other narcotics will work, again, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

I did a morphine 500mg pill an hour ago can I do a suboxone strip 8mg now ? ## What did you take? There is no 500mg Morphine pill available. Can you please double check? When taking Suboxone, you need to be in full withdrawal, or it could throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation.

I took a 8mg Suboxone 48 hours ago. I have a 60mg morphine to take for pain. Will the effects of the morphine work or do I need to wait longer? ## Hello, Shantastic! How are you? It usually takes about 72 hours, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yeah in theory it's supposed to last 72 hours, but that's the bupronorphine. The naloxone only lasts for a couple of hours. The bupe lasts longer to keep your tolerance up and your opiate receptors "busy" so other opiates will (again in theory) not have anything to bind to, making them ineffective...

On 30 mg 2 x daily for 45 days. Took last 30 at 7pm yesterday. Is one orange AN415 for 4 days going to help me withdraw and stop opiates all together. I dont want this addiction anymore? ## Hello, Ginger! How are you doing? You can't take Suboxone, until you are in full withdrawal. Otherwise, it can throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals that could include grand mal seizures. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. And it is doubtful that just 4 days of it is going to be enough to completely beat this. Have you consulted your doctor? Unless you've been abusing the Morphine, you should be able to just taper off of it after ...

if I took a morphine 100mg and wanted to take a seboxin strip 3 hours later would I go into withdrawals or would I be ok I don't really know what would happen I don't want to go into withdrawals if I don't have to ## One of the ingredients in Suboxone is Naloxone, which is added to help prevent the abuse of other narcotics, while someone is under treatment with it…thus yes, it will throw you into dangerous withdrawals. When someone is starting treatment with it, they are specifically told not to take it, until they are already in full withdrawal, to avoid the danger. Both of these are potent narcotics and shouldn't be taken, unless they have been prescribed for you. They have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, d...

I'm quite upset and feel like the rug was pull out from under me. I've had five back fusions via three surgies (4 cervical & 1 Lumbo-sacral ) , one surgery for silicone toxicity/ removal, 2-surgies on my hands, 1- surgery on my bladder. I've already detox-ed myself off of lortab, phentyl patches prior to each surgery.. My problem now is managing my chronic pain that's left over...I'm better since the surgeries but far from whole pain wise. I hurt so bad that I can't shower, or dress without help if I don't take some form of pain medication. I mearly use 30mg morphine extended release three time a day, as needed at night 1- 10mg percocet or valium to help sleep or decrease muscle spasms. I just don't feel like I meet the critiera of abuse to warrant me...

I am currently on 54 ml. of Ordine 10, 150 mg Fentanyl patch, and 80 mg Targin, equivalent to about 1,200 mg of morphine a day. My pain specialist wants me to change to methadone or suboxone. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance. ## Hello, Allan! How are you? Most people have said that Suboxone didn't do much for their pain, so if you need pain relief, you might be better off with the Methadone. I've never taken either one myself, I am just stating what I've learned from other posters on this site. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Does anyone else have any advice to offer? ## I really strongly suggest having nothing to do with Methadone...

How are you? You need to be in full withdrawal from everything else, before you can take Suboxone, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise.If you take it too soon, if can throw you into very dangerous precipitated withdrawals.

Have you consulted your doctor? It's just not a good idea to take other opiates, when you are on the Suboxone. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Can a 10mg morphine pill have NO markings or NO coating on it? Also does it melt on your tounge? ## No, all Morphine tablets have markings on them, to enable their identification and there aren't any that are meant to be dissolved in the mouth, in the U.S. Two that are commonly designed as sublingual tablets are Suboxone and some forms of Methadone, but even those in the U.S. have markings on them to enable their identification. However, all of this information isn't relevant to foreign medications, because other countries have their own laws.

How are you? I am very sorry that you're in pain. In most cases, Oxycodone or Morphine is used, if the Suboxone isn't handling your pain.

Have you spoken to your doctor about it?
