Subutex Forums (Page 29)

I have an 8mg subutex.ive been on suboxone for ten months and now im out of meds. Will this subutex replace the suboxone as the same,or is it different. ## The difference between the two is that the Suboxone contains Buprenorphine and Naloxone, the latter is used to neutralize other opiates and prevent their abuse, while someone is under treatment with it. The Subutex, however, only contains the narcotic Buprenorphine. Have you talked to your doctor for assistance?

I just found a new job working on helicopters and I have to pass an FAA 135/DOT Drug Test! I have been taking subutex for a couple years now but have winged myself down to 4 mg a day instead of 32mg a day! So will I pass an FAA 135/dot drug test? And I also am prescribed a few valium but hardly take them!

Is it posible to get subutex off some doctor? I have my prescription from norway. ## I HAVE A HEROIN PROBLEM AND HAVE TO NOW OD 8 TIMES AND I NEED DESPERATE SOME HELP TO GET TO BOY SUBUTEX. IM 32 YEARS OLD AND LIVE IN STAVANGER NORWAY. ## The prescription your doctor writes you is supposed be valid at any pharmacy. Do none of your local pharmacies have Subutex? If not, they should be able to mail order in the medication for you. This may be something you have to consider if you don't want to drive outside of your city or country. Surely your doctor wouldn't write a prescription for something that you can't even obtain? Something doesn't seem right if that is case.

I am currently perscribed 20 mg of Saboxone a day. Have been taking it for four months. I Want to have another baby and I am trying to find out if Subutex is safer than Saboxone. My rehab clinic's doctor isnot much help. He suggests talking to OBGYN. They say talk to him. So that's how that went. I know that neither one is reccomended during pregnancy but would rather this than use. Any suggestions? ## I was in almost the same situation as you. I had been taking suboxone for several months and then I got pregnant. My doctor who was prescribing the suboxone changed my prescription to the subutex right away. In the United States there is no studies done showing the side effects of suboxone while pregnant so the FDA has not approved it for use, however in other countries there are ...

I am 47 yrs old. My whole story would take forever..so I will try to sum it up. I used drugs beginning at age 14, in my 30's I switched to rx only meds and thought it was ok cause I had a script. When I lost my job and insurance I had to go off. I could not stand the withdrawl and lack of energy. So I found ways. Something personal and profond happened to me in April/May of last year, my bottom, my wake-up call. Found a great doctor with a caring staff, it was a rough first couple mos. But I feel like I'm back, I'm back in my life. I would never judge anyone. And I try and make it a point to surround my self with positive, non judgemental people. I somehow befriend younger people 25 and up. All I wanted to do was try and get through to just one of them with my story so that ...

I have been struggling with the adiction of opiates off and on for seven years. I now have four kids and a great husband, my life is falling apart due to the substance abuse. I have been put on a waiting list to be taken in to a detox center and should go any day they use the five day subutex treatment. After all of the struggles i have been through I have never been more ready to get clean and stay clean. I was wondering if someone who has also used this form of detox can tell me what it is like? Are your systems still severally bad on the last few days or does the decreasing of the subutex help? ## The tapering of the Subutex is done very slowly, in order to minimize the withdrawal effects, that it why it is such an effective treatment. As long as you aren't abusing it and follow ...

Why would someone take suboxone and subutex at the same time. Are they not basically treating the same condition? ## Yes, the only difference is that the Suboxone contains Naloxone, to neutralize other narcotics that someone may try to take at the same time. However, the narcotic in both is Buprenorphine, which is used to treat drug addiction and severe cases of pain that is resistant to other medications. Have they both been prescribed to someone?

Can you take diladas while taking Subutex for pain ? ## Dilaudid contains the active ingredient Hydromorphone, which is a very potent narcotic analgesic. Subutex contains the narcotic Buprenorphine. That said, combining them is not recommended unless your doctor has instructed you to do so. Doing so can create more severe side effects, the risk of organ damage and overdose. Some of the common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation. You can read more on them here: Has your doctor prescribed both of these?
