tablets ## Suboxone Info Click Here ## i have been on methadone for 4 yrs. i have weened down from 100mg to 30mg over the past 6 months. i am curios if suboxone would be proper to try to get off the methadone completely. ## Yes u dont want to be on methadone either but i am taking suboxone because i have been clean off heroin for ten months, but its a never ending cycle. For you to get off methadone i would talk to ur doctor and search other detoxing treatments because you may or may not want my help but if you get on the suboxone you will get hooked just like the methadone.

which is worst for your liver norco or soboxone (bottom line)!!!!!! which drug goes the least damage to your liver.strieght answer PLEASE ## Hello, Mike! How are you? There is no way to pick one, both risk causing possible liver damage, impaired liver function, or full liver failure, as reported by the FDA. The best thing to do is to discuss it with your doctor, so they can help you decide which one is safest for you to try. Is there anything else I can help with?

Does anyone recommend subsolv over suboxone ## Some people prefer one over the other, depending on which seems to work better for them. Which has your doctor recommended? Can anyone that's taking one of these medications chime in? The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Ive been on suboxone for 4yrs for chronic pain&addiction but i cant find a sub dr anywhere,will medicaid pay for me to go bk on pain mefs? ## Hello, Phyllis! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. It will actually most likely be the doctors that you'll have a problem with, most will not prescribe pain medications for someone that has had a prior addiction issue. It may be easier for you to just stick with Suboxone, or to use Methadone. The FDA classifies these medications as being narcotic, so they have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Hi I'm so scared to totally come off suboxone.. I've been taking 8mg of subs for about 5 years .. I've never been prescribed them I just found them wherever I could. 3 weeks ago I went from 1-8mg a day to 1-4mg a day.. I was craving a little but no serious withdrawal symptoms.. Now I only have 10 subs left and I can't get them anymore ... This will last me about 20 days ....what can I do in 20 days to have the least amount of withdrawal symptoms .. Please help me I'm scared out of my mind!!!!! ## Well, to be honest, the best thing you could do would be to seek medical assistance. The Buprenorphine in Suboxone is a very potent narcotic and to stop taking it and avoid severe withdrawals, it needs to be tapered as slowly as possible. Depending on how severe the addictio...

I've been on soboxone for 3 years. I'm now having a bad bout of Colitis, Very painful. Day 5 off soboxone and my Percocets are still not breaking through? Help???? ## Because suborn is a blocker . You would of had to cut back on suboxin or actually quit all together to be effected by the pain killers . so there is nothing you can do about it honey you cannot take a handful of painkillers to override the Suboxonethats where stuff gets dangerous . Also suboxin was not made to ttake three years in a row . It was supposed to be used to get off of Hard drugs ween yourself down and be over. Now you may need a detox because of ' subs ' or you need to wean yourself darling honey that's what it supposed to be a little bit less every week until nothing

I took a very slim strip of soboxone last night for the first time. Its been 15 hours ago. Is it ok to take a norco 10 now ? ## Hello, Van! How are you? It usually requires a break of about 72 hours, for another opiate to work, after having taken Suboxone, but you should follow your doctor's instructions. 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? ## Can I take norco 5 hours after I took 2 Advil pm ? ## Van I hope u find the answer u where looking for. The person who previously replied seems to give the same response to everyone on here. I mean I can read the back of suboxone description to...

son alledly robbed drug store after 6 days without availibility of Soboxon. Can this cold turkey withdrawl cause a person to rob a drug to obtain Suboxone? ## Hi Ron, Sorry to hear about what happened with your son. Based on what I've seen in other Suboxone-related threads here, this drug can influence serious personality changes. They are, however, not usually regarded as 'severe' unless the medication is being heavily abused. Some personality changes may also be a result of withdrawal symptoms, but the only types of people you hear about robbing places to get their fix are those who feel they are in grave danger without it. So I can only imagine that he must've had an extremely high tolerance to even reach that point of withdrawal. Do you know whether or not your son w...

Could any one tell me if there is a law that says a Dr. Cannot prescribe suboxine and benzodiazapines ## Hello, Mary! How are you? No, there is not. There are directives that were issued by the DEA telling them to be very careful, when doing so and some doctors treating for addiction with Suboxone just don't want to prescribe it, but there is no law saying they definitively can't prescribe them together. In the past on here, I had erroneously used the term regulation, when referring to the directives from the DEA, but that really wasn't the correct term. These things aren't set as law, just suggestions for the doctors, to tell try to help stem the flow of abuse, diversion and improper prescribing. Some doctors also prefer that the patient see an appropriate specialist fo...

I want to start back taking soboxone, but am afraid after taking 2 days of ultram, that I will go into withdrawals. How long should I wait before taking soboxone?CLCDR ## It is doubtful that you would experience withdrawals, if you have only taken it for 2 days, the Tramadol in it, while being an opioid, it not like other narcotics and is not very potent. What has your doctor advised? ## I've been on suboxone for 3 yrs.now and am finally starting to taper off. About a yr.and a hlf. Ago my mother was spiking my coffee with ultram so i'd flunk my toxes (great mother huh?) not knowing i was still taking my subs. When i found out through the tox results of course i was furious! I knew i hadn't taken any and she had access to some and made my coffee every morn.didn't take muc...

Can I take Lisinipril and Soboxone together? ## They can be taken together, but the dosage of both should be carefully adjusted and you should know to watch for the warning signs of low blood pressure, such as dizziness, sedation and nausea.

I've only taken 1 mg of Soboxone a day since I was prescribed it three years ago. Now I want to quit. I started tapering and am at .25 twice a day. I plan on going down to .125 mg in a couple days.Has anyone had a similar experience and should I expect for withdrawals to be easy since I've never taken more then 1 mg? ## I tried (UNSUCCESSFULLY) for almost a year to get off suboxone!! I managed to get down to mere grains (probably 1/16th of a tablet) a day for three months.. Three days after I quit completely I felt horrible. Not physically but it's like my mind was so down I could even get off my sofa to feed my fish that were six steps away! I hate this dependence and wish I had never used it as long as I have (4yrs). Unless I am able to have no obligations like a career I ...

Has anyone had good results on Soboxone? ## I have. I was addicted to pain meds for years stemming from a knee injury in college. When I finally told my doctor about all the extra pills I would take, i.e. buying them on the street, he advised me to try suboxone. I did, and I started at a higher dose, and it's fairly easy to taper the dose down in the beginning, just make sure you do it with your doc's help and let him/her know how you are feeling, physically. It is a little harder when you start going down from 2 mgs a day to 1, then 1/2 then a 1/4, and so forth. I've had more sucess taking half my dose in the morning and half in the evening, that could easily be psychological though. Anyhow, it is possible for this treatment to work, just don't try to wean yourself off ...

Pain management with soboxone I'm in chronic acute pain & I need a doctor that will treat my pain w/ soboxone. Please help me!!!!!! ## you may need to post what state you are in and your city of one close by. ## Sorry to say. Subxone is not a pain drug. It is used for patients with a drug addiction to needle drug abuse. Found this out the hard way. When you do find a doc to prescribe legitimate pain meds. You will be discriminatied for ever taking this med for pain. Repeat it is not pain medicine. ## Hello Amber (and Goldie), I too suffer from chronic pain due to degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, and bone spurs on my cervical and lumbar spine. My doctor at UCLA has me taking Suboxone as a pain management and it is the ONLY thing that works for me. I hate to take drugs ...

Im looking for a doctor who will prescribe subutex or soboxone for pain management. I have horrible chronic pain and am finding trouble finding a doctor who will listen and help with the pain not just addiction treatment. If anyone has any suggestions for me that would be great. I have a list of a few doctors who do prescribe it but it says for addiction treatment. The doctor I go to now has a giant sign saying they wont treat chronic pain. Kokomo area would be preferred but I will make the drive to wherever if its worth it. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

I need a Dr that prescribes subutex not soboxone and once a month due to work near statesville or hickory any suggestions???? ## Dr. Kearney in Iredell County, you do start out going every day to dose and once a week drug panels. If everything goes good after the first 6 weeks they let you take home a week at a time. Then so on and so on. Eventually you do get them once a month but you have to put the work in.

i have been abusing prescription pain medication for 6 years & am looking for a doctor in my area that prescribes subutex or soboxone. ## Hello, Anna! How are you? They actually have a website you can use to look for a doctor in you area, it's at suboxone.com, so you can use that to search. Learn more Suboxone details here. This also contains a potent narcotic, so it has the potential to be habit forming, but unlike Methadone it has enabled many people to become completely drug free. Is there anything else I can help with?

Yes !!! I was on 120 mg. - 180mg of methadone daily for 18 years and didn't thinkI I would ever be off methadone, but 24mg of soboxone did me good with little side effect or withdrawal. I did it in rehab and the fact is you have to be determined and dedicated. Suboxone/Subutex iwas developed in, I believe, France years ago and has been usrd succissfully in Europe for years being accepted by the FDA in 2003. Go for it. Wishing you the best. ## Hi to everyone who are wanting off methadone!!! I do not believe I could of progressed successfully without these FORUMS and SUBOXONE!
