How long do I have to suffer? ## Hello, Angel! How are you? I'm sorry about your injury! It usually takes about 3 days, before other narcotics will work for you. 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.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Have they both been prescribed for you?

i know there is a subutex patch, but was wondering whether there was a suboxone patch ## i live in perth w.a. and would like to kno if anyone has heard of or are on suboxone patches and is there such a thing. ## No, there are no Suboxone patches available that I am aware of and I did a search, to double check, and am not finding any listed as being available.

Was indeed hoping there was... ## Hi, there are no Suboxone patches, but there is the Butrans patch which is made of a similar chemical composition - an opiate that avoids stimulating the opiate receptors (no tolerance) and blocks all other narcotics from the receptor sites. For those of us who require daily pain management it is a win/win ...

is a 4mg tablet of suboxone a half of tablet or a whole tablet...could someone please explain this to me...8mg 2 mg what is what?? ## There are 2 dosages available, which contain the Buprenorphine and Naloxone, one is a 2mg/0.5mg and one is an 8mg/2mg, so yes, to take 4mgs, you'd have to take half of the larger tablet. This is a narcotic, so it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more: Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been taking subs for about 5monthes now...had tapered down to 1mg a day and then I messed u and took 2-4 mg a day for about a week. Now I can't get anymore and I only have about 1 and a quarter of a pill left ( About 10 mg) ...am I going to be able to use this small amount to be able to taper enough to have light enough withdrawls symptoms so that I can still go to work...or am I screwed? ## IT is difficult to say, since it does contain the narcotic Buprenorphine, you may experience withdrawals, but the severity can vary from one person to another. It may best to try to plan your taper and the time you stop taking it for when you have a day or two off of work. The withdrawals can cause rebound pain, fever, chills and nausea. If your symptoms become severe, you can always go t...

Can you be on suboxone and take soma for severe muscle spasms and pain? ## Yes. ## I would not suggest doing so without your doctor's approval, but yes, narcotics and muscle relaxants are often prescribed together, to help control pain that one doesn't touch. Suboxone contains the active ingredient Buprenorphine, it is used to help people with drug addiction and to treat some cases od severe pain. Soma contains the active ingredient Carisoprodol, it is a muscle relaxant. Taking the two, together, my aggravate the side effects, which can include: nausea, drowsiness, constipation and dizziness. You can read more about them here: Did you have any other questions? ## Yes, Im rxed both Flexeril, soma, and 16mg Suboxone EDay and Im told by my pharmacist and doc. to use either the flex...

I AM ON SUB.NOW FOR 12 DAYS AND THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY I DRANK ABOUT 12 BEERS AND I TELL YOU I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SICK IN MY LIFE.I HAD FEVER,CHILLS AND SWEATS AND MUSCLE CRAMPS SO BAD IT WAS A CLOSE CALL ME NOT GOING TO THE ER.WAS THIS DUE TO THE MIX OF SUB AND ALCOHOL.I KNOW I'LL NEVER FIND OUT AGAIN.ALL REPLIES APPRECIATED. ## More than likely! It is a narcotic and they DO NOT mix with alcohol. This is why they all come with a warning telling you not to drink while taking them. Even mixing milder narcotics with alcohol can result in adverse effects and doing such can be very dangerous.

Looking for Suboxone Pills or Film for my 25 year old daughter ## I am sorry, this site does not manufacture, prescribe nor sell any products. this is an information only website. In addition, Suboxone contains the active ingredients Buprenorphine and Naloxone, the first is a powerful narcotic and the second neutralizes other opiates. That means that this drug is very dangerous if it is not used properly, because it can put someone into severe withdrawals that can endanger their life. It should only be used under a doctors supervision, who can provide the proper instructions on when to start the medication and calibrate the proper dosage. Then, the amount has to be very slowly tapered to allow the person to ever become drug free. Are there any comments or questions?

I take Suboxone for fear of ever being back on the evil Methadone and it's working wonderfully. But I get horrid migraines and have these Butal with 30mg COD and was wondering if withdrawal would take place because of Naloxone? Bbuck ## It won't hurt. It won't help. You'll simply waste the meds ## It is the COD that is actually the narcotic, that stands for Codeine and the Naloxone in the Suboxone will neutralize it, so there's no point in taking it. 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. Have you consulted your doctor? They should be able to help you determine what medication may help. ## I have felt Norco 12 hrs after suboxen. I still fe...

I took 8mgs of Suboxone this morning because I couldn't get my other script filled until tomorrow morning. How long should I wait before taking a dose of Percocet? ## Hello, AJ! How are you? Usually, it takes about 72 hours before other opiates will be effective for you, again, unless your physician 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.

Regardless of how low you taper, you will likely still experience some minor withdrawal symptoms, once you finally stop altogether. Has your doctor provided any instructions? It does contain a very potent narcotic, to you do need to taper off of it as slowly as possible.

How are you doing? All of the medications you've mentioned carry the risk of being habit forming, since they are all narcotics, so you really need to be careful about taking more than prescribed and then adding in others that haven't been prescribed for you. I also do not have an answer for you on when you can take the Methadone, generally the doctors that prescribe Suboxone have been specially trained in its use and would advise someone on that.

Can I take my tabs safely 24 hours after taking only a quarter of a suboxone to keep from being sick yesterday ?? ## Hello, Randy! How are you? What medication are you asking about? If it's another narcotic, you'll need to give it about 3 days, before taking it, or the Suboxone will prevent it from having any effect. 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.

I have been on suboxone for 2 yrs now. I recently relapsed and started taking 3 7.5 vicodine a day. How long do i need to wait until I can start taking suboxone again without going in withdrawl ## Suboxone contains the narcotic Buprenorphine and Naloxone, which prevents the abuse of other opiates, while you are on it. This means that you have to be in full withdrawal, before starting Suboxone, otherwise the Naloxone will cause severe withdrawals. Are there any other questions?

Does anyone have any tips on treating the headaches that goes along with the suboxone? I have had chronic pain issues my whole adult life. I have been very surprised that the suboxone helps my pain very much. I just can't stand these headaches. ## Hello, Cj! How are you? I'm sorry about the headaches. Have you tried any nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, if your doctor approves of you taking them, such as Advil or Aleve? Since you're on Suboxone, other narcotics won't work, but many people get relief with NSAIDs. The FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach irritation and increased risk of bleeding. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
