Suboxone 8mg/2mg And Roxicodone 30's (Page 19)

Updated

I am currently taking Roxicodone 30's each day. I have suboxone 8mg/2mg to help get off of these. I know the suboxones are the best pill made to help with the withdrawals but I'm wondering if for the firsrt 3 to 5 days when I'm having trouble sleeping and feeling clammy, if i should take like half of a Roxicodone 30 (which i have done in the past), as it helps me to sleep and takes away the clammy feeling? Any other suggestions that you may have? Thanks to anyone answering this for me.

Trust me. I understand Roxy's and Suboxone. I went from half a 30mg Roxy a day to sometimes over 20 Roxy's a day and went to over a dozen treatment centers over 5 years to get off them. During that time I spent over a million dollars on the drug and treatment and lost everything I owned. That being said my suggestion would be this.

1. Don't take the advice of the person who is selling them to you. It is very difficult and requires expertise to coach someone off them.
2. Do not take Suboxone while you have opiates in your system. It will put you into immediate acute withdrawal. You have to have the opiates out of your system and be in withdrawal before you take Suboxone or it will make you sick.
3. So step one is detox yourself in an inpatient center. Then find a reputable Suboxone Dr who can prescribe them to you. Not all Drs are certified to prescribe them.

Then emphasize to the Dr that you want to taper off in a reasonable time. I've been on Suboxone for 2 years but it gave me my life back. As I said I went gradually from one a day to over 20 for years and list everything. I urge you to detox somewhere then find a Suboxone Dr. Please believe me, I tried for years to do it myself and I have amazing personal strength but failed every time as it only got worse as will likely happen to you. It is just to hard to do on your own. Save yourself the struggle and detox and find a Suboxone doc. I'm happy to help anyway I can as I have helped countless people due to my extensive but difficult experience.

Taking both isn’t going to work if u take both your wasting the pain meds. The opiate blocker in suboxone will not allow you to even feel the pain meds. You need to chose one or the other. Do some research and hopefully you will understand better.

Ok so I am just joining the conversation and I have not read the 164 posts before me so I apologize if I am repeating anyone.

I just started subs yesterday after taking 360 mgs of oxy per day. I take 2 x 8-2 mg of suboxone at the same time from today going forward. Some of the cravings (mostly stomach) still pop up. I don't know if it will get better as I go but I hope so, if not i will try my best to stick to quitting anyhow. My suggestion (as a newbie) is to have a little cannabis before you go to bed. I hate the taste and smell of weed but I hate the not being able to sleep and cravings killing my stomach more. When i tried inpatient rehabilitation 2 years ago they gave me subs for 4 days and the mgs were 4 first day, 8mg the second day, 4 mg the third day, and 2 mg the final day. I could not sleep because I had stomach cravings/pains from withdrawals from the oxycodone. Needless to say I only lasted 7 days before I signed myself out. This time I am doing it at home so I can take something to help me sleep and I am hoping I can stick to it. I came to this site to ask a question and saw this post first. Good luck everybody. Going to figure out how to ask a question now.

So wrong, I broke 7 ribs, and at the time I was on subutex.....so I was prescribed 120, 30mg roxis for 8 weeks , so every time it was med time, I was supposed to take 6-8 pills every 4 to 6 hours. They took away the subutex so I could feel the roxis. Boooom. They do not work or are a complete waste w suboxone. You could take 50 roxis and it wouldn’t t work w subs.

I was on opiates on a daily basis for 30 yrs. Started with fiorinal #3 and progressed to 80mg oxy and 5/100mg ms contin (morphine) then 3 40 mg wafers daily in an effort to stop spending so much money. My pain management drpresribed Dilaudid for breakthrough pain for a gun shot wound. I would have to take more opiate to get the same effect if I had a lot of methadone in my system. I see sawed back n forth to whichever was more readily available. This put me in a hole that 15yrs later I am still trying to climb out of financially. I was sick of it and could only take the withdrawal for a day or two and twice I ended up in the hospital seizing due to dehydration from lack of appetite as well as throwing up constantly until my stomach muscles were incredibly sore. Then they came out with Suboxone. I immediately entered behavioral pain management at a psych hospital. I read on here about Suboxone giving their life back. They are 100% right. For me,it is a miracle drug. I'm not saying I don't ever think about the high from opiates but it's usually after dreaming about them. The Suboxone takes care of the physical withdrawals and gives me a chance to pause and not make a decision that is compulsive or obsessive. It's a miracle drug for me. Were I to take opiate with a drug designed to get you away from it not only do I risk relapse but also it could throw me in withdrawal and risk getting back on the rollercoaster. I am addicted to opiates and unashamed. This is not caused by lack of willpower or self discipline. Fear of withdrawals can be debilitating. Although I am still digging out of that hole but I am at peace with it simply bc I have hope. One I started the Suboxone and just accepted the fact that at this point I need a pill/strip to feel anywhere close to what is normal for me I began to live instead of exist. I guess you could say Suboxone helped me to accept my limitations without limiting myself. And to the scientist,researchers and Drs that made this drug....thank you.

The best way to get over is through. Yes, Suboxone will definitely make all the difference in your success. To pass a urine screen you only need a valid Rx and I've read if your Dr prescribes it for pain as well as opiate addiction most insurance takes care of the high cost. You won't need to stay on it long, as 5 mos is not very long for an addiction. However when you're in the midst of withdrawals it doesn't matter how long it's all the same. Suboxone helps control your compulsive obsessive tendencies and works best with meditation and teaching yourself to stay in this moment, this moment, now this one. Don't look so far ahead bc your desire to quit has already started the ball rolling. Don't be so hard on yourself and it's nothing to be ashamed of. You are young to have such concerns about a good job and from what I have seen and heard -and I am 60 yrs old and started this karma at 20yrs. Best of luck to you and remember you're not alone. Don't hide from your creator. It's a waste of much needed energy when you should be seeking him out. I am proud of and for you. Go easy on yourself and don't minimize your accomplishments. Good luck and you're in my prayers. I mean that.
