It's a bit difficult to say, because that time frame is actually right on the cusp, since the Buprenoprhine is usually detectable for approximately 5 days in urine.

The precise time frame will vary from person to person, depending on your metabolism, overall health, activity levels, fluid intake and etc.

Is there anything else I can help with?

i go to a suboxone doctor. but i like subutex much better.it doesnt give me the headaches that suboxone does, and to be truthful,it covers any thought of a craving in my mind. it speeds me up,i just like it better. question-how do i get my doctor to write it instead of suboxone.everyone i know just about only gets it cause they are either pregnant or have liver problems. any advice on how to ask my doctor for subutex instead of suboxone?

depends on the test as gas chromatography tests can detect if the substance was taken as far back as 10 days but not always, and the urine test can detect drugs used in the last 7 days! and swab test under the tongue can detect anything in the last 10 days but it all depends on your metabolism too and the amount of fluid you drink and how fast your body cleanses itself!! so next time be careful!! and there are many ways round certain tests but difficult to get round the swab test! hope this helps!!

I have my first appt with a Dr so that I can get put on subutex (they only prescribe suboxone to people with insurance, which I do not have). I have been taking 1 1/2 every day for 5 days and I only took a quarter this morning. I'm about 90% sure he will give me a UA (I believe it is the 8 strip one). I was told by my friend that goes to the same clinic that I need to test positive for opies, which is understandable, but he didn't say anything about what would happen I tested positive for buprenoprhine. I guess my question is...1. will it show up in my system on Wed afternoon (2-27) if I have been taking 6 mgs since Mon (2/13-2/22) and 2mgs today (Sat 2/23) and continue to take a quarter until Monday morning. 2.What should I tell the Dr when he questions me about it showing up in my system. My friend says he is a very understanding and sympathetic Dr and he actually told my friend that he expects people to slip and test positive for opies about 1 1/2 months into treatment.

tell your doctor the naloxone gives you head aches. also tell him you pay out of pocket and need the cheapest brand available-subutex. however, if you told your doctor you used iv drugs, they will never write you subtex bc many ppl iv subutex and that's y they give you the suboxones, cuz naloxone blocks you from iv'ig it with painful results.

I'm three months pregnant. I been on subutex for almost a year. I'm wanting to quit for fear of what it could do to my baby. Is it to late to quit? Is the baby already dependent on them? ?

Hi Sue,
If you go to an addiction doctor during your pregnancy, they will put you on Subutex as it has little if any adverse affects on the baby. They may also refer you to a perinatologist. Don't quit though. If you detox now, you can lose the baby. It is to stressful. Hope this helps.

yes subutex can be injected but not suboxone and would not recommend that people abuse it this way! i use to sniff mine and this method helped me to get clean as i got better reduction results and stopped after getting down to a half mil of subutex so people REMEMBER you was put on this medication to get clean not further down the road to addiction so respect it and respect yourself x

Hi Sue, mommy was right, don't just stop. You need to do a slow reduction managed by health professionals. If you come off the subutex slowly and are off it before the baby is born then. The babs won't be born withdrawing from it. If your still addicted when baby's born then he or she will potentially be born addicted and will have to do a minimorph (baby morphine) reduction for the first few weeks of life. This can be very hard for baby and you and baby will have a tell tale screech cry and be difficult to bond with because of this. But after a week or so baby will be fine. Not all baby's are born addicted and they don't know why that is.
If you continue taking subutex until baby is born it is usually advised that you don't breast feed as it will enter the baby that way and continue the addiction.

The best thing to do is be open with your antinatal health care team and let then advise you, as there may be other complications specific to you and your baby which alter the best course of action you can take. Good luck to you and baby I hope it goes well for you

Hi honey. To the gal having a baby. Yes dear. Your baby is going to withdrawal. You need to go to your sub Dr and your OBGYN and come up with a plan they both agree on. I have met dozens of young moms who have successfully stayed on carefully weaned back. But at three months you have risk of miscarriage. One thing about newborn babies is they have no memories to compare their feelings or experience to. As uncomfortable as it might be for a new born. Please don't make this decision yourself. Your baby has a better chance if you don't put it through in uterine trauma. If you jump off anything above .05. you're on for the ride of your life. Your baby too. No matter how much sub you take, it's hell to get off. It's going to be ok. But you gotta make a plan. Then go forward. Hang in there. Congratz on your pregnancy.

I will be clearer on my question... my drs office recently informed me that per D.E.A. that a blood test is required to test levels of prescribed opiates. I did run out of my meds and took one half of a suboxone strip and took 7 subutex in a one week period. I will of course have the required blood draw but need to be free of the subutex and suboxone. This was the first time I have ever taken subutex and suboxone. Please... Can anyone tell me how many days approx. I need to wait to be sure my blood will be clear of both subutex and suboxone?

Look up the symptoms that go with adverse (bad) effects of the opiate blocker in the Suboxone. When I went to a clinic and we had group meetings, one fellow actually burned his tongue with a cig to show them he had sores or blisters in his mouth form this drug. It worked. It's just all about money, the Subutex costs so much less, it's sort of cruel for doctors to prescribe this knowing the patients can't afford it. Rashes, headaches, mouth blisters are just some of the symptoms that can make a Dr. switch you. Just don't whine, be firm, you are the patient, nicely demand it.

The thing two people I know told Doctor to get changed to subutex is, they lost their prescription plan and have to pay full price!,,,Subutex is a lot more affordable.! I'd say 400 dollars more for suboxon!

I disagree with you as for being a horrible person and a s***ty mother. If you've never been opiate dependent and gotten pregnant than you have no right to try judging this mother as you're not in her shoes nor do you understand the whole story. As a registered nurse and recovering iv opiate addict when i was pregnant with my 2nd child i too had a problem with opiates and it was and is still advised that you do not quit cold turkey for the well being of not only the fetus but as well for the mother carrying the child as the withdrawals can get strong enough to terminate the both of you. However i do not believe in taking suboxone when pregnant because of own personal experience with the drug; personally a bottle of tylenol twice to three times a day has helped me with the withdrawals. I wish everyone the best of luck. By the way it takes 150 hours to get put of your system!!

As far as pregnancy and suboxone and subutex- it completely depends on the dosage you are on as to how it will effect the baby. Wean down to a low dose to minimize the risks. I got down to 0.5 mg a day and both my kids were born without withdrawals and healthy. That is a quarter of 2 mg small suboxone pill. Also very important to inform the anesthesiologist and ob dr that you are in treatment. If you don't then yes you run a horrible risk of dcfs taking your baby when you test positive. It is passed through breast milk so stay on low dose. Benefits of breast feeding are worth it even if you only do it for a month or 2. I did both formula and breast milk to minimize problems. Withdrawal while pregnant is very dangerous. Get on Medicaid and get in treatment. Stay off drugs. Everything will change when your kid is born. It will be worth it. You can do this! Pity the child going into foster care for having a uninformed parent. Educate yourself on your local standards in regards to drug testing and treatment. Ask questions. Good luck!
