Help! Difference Subutex And Suboxone???

Updated

I have been taking subutex for 3 months, this past week my mom washed half my script. I got a suboxone strip today, but havent taken it yet. Got to go back for my weekly visit Tuesday, sometimes they do random drug screen. I am getting sick from not having my regular subutex. Can I take the suboxone? And if they test my urine Tuesday, will they tell the difference between subutex and suboxone?

Anyone with the knowledge about these two meds, could you please help me out on this? I am starting to feel withdrawl symptoms. I have the suboxone strip on hand, just hesitant to take any of it, due to to random drug test.

Uh yeah subutex and suboxone are two completely different medications. Suboxone has an opiate antagonist in it and subutex does not. If you get tested you're gonna most likely fail. Sorry to ask but they only prescribe subutex to pregnant or breastfeeding mothers. If that's the case don't take any suboxone, it is dangerous for unborn babies. If that is the case. Which I'm going to assume it is.

not pregnant, would never and have ever taken any kind of drugs during both my pregnancies. Im not as selfish like half the world out there. But I read today that when they test for urine, they only make sure you have buphenorphine in your system. Which both medications do. If they send off to labs, thats when the naloxene will show. My doctor only tests at the office on the panel and doesnt send to any labs.

Oh I see...yeah I was just told that subutex is usually only prescribed to pregnant women. Knowing everything you just told me I would say you answered your own question lol. I'd say go for it! How many mgs do you have? You may only want to take a portion of it.

No they prescribe subutex to people with hep C and im not saying u have that Mandy. I am male so obviously not pregnant and don't have hep c. Its just because of my specific drug history that I wasent a high risk patient for shooting up or anything. Subutex is easier on the liver so some doctors will prescribe is for a number of different reasons. Half my clinic is on subutex.
