Can I Take Four Suboxone In Day

I just started taking the suboxone...8 mg 3 times a day. I took my first strip. I've taken all three yesterday the last one at around 7 pm. I'm wondering if I take my pill of choice, since I've barely started, will it block it? I was coming off of self medicating myself with methadone for 8 years. I hear that some people get different effects from taking the subs, but it's like taking a super ibuprofen for me. Any info on this would be helpful and I'm a big girl so I only need the facts not the lectures please and thank you. ## Hello, Hazel! How are you? The Buprenorphine in Suboxone has a much stronger hold on your opiate receptors than other narcotics, so it would prevent them from having any effect. That coupled with the Naloxone means that you'd just be wasti...

Will I feel vicodin if it's been over 72 hours since suboxone? I was only on the suboxone for 4 days and did not take it previously? Any help would be greatly appreciated ## I took 36mg of suboxone And that was all when I took them! ## Technically you should be able to take the Vicodin, if your doctor approves, if it's been more than 72 hours. However, some people have reported that it took longer than that. 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I was on one fourth of an 8mg strip of suboxone for a yr. Now it's been 3 weeks off. I have had foot surgery but the vicodin is not...

Is it okay to take xanax and suboxone and the same time? ## I took Xanax 2088 v 0.5 mg four hours ago. Is it safe to take a suboxone? ## Has your doctor prescribed them both? Both of these medications can cause depression of the central nervous system, which could result in dangerously low blood pressure and heart rate. Thus, it may not be safe for you to take them both. They also both carry the risk of being habit forming. ## I was prescribed Xanax and suboxone together. I was also was prescribed Xanax and Methadone together. Yes, it can be a dangerous mix, but some doctors will prescribe them together. ## I don't know what planet you reside on but no rationally thinking prescriber would ever allow that cocktail of powerful and possibly lethal pharmaceutical combination to be taken...

I've been on suboxone for four years and I've been taking about a quarter of a strip everyday .. My last dose was at 11:30 this morning .. So my question is how long should I wait to take a hydrcodone? ## You usually have to wait at least 72 hours, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic and warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi I have been on suboxone for four weeks, before that I was on methadone for five years. I decided to try kratom to stop the suboxone but it isn't really doing much and I feel really lethargic and headaches. I took about 4-5gram of kratom at 8am, it's now 1:40pm"..I want to take some suboxone, will I get sick? Precipitated withdrawals? I've seen some people say they take suboxone after kratom and are fine, but, there isn't much out there on the topic. I just don't wanna get sick for I have a three ur old boy and Christmas is in two days ## I got no response but ended up taking 2mg suboxone at 2:30 and was fine...took another 1mg a little later and still fine...just a bit of a headache but I always get that from sunoxone ## It seems like no one can really answer ...

I have been on suboxone for far too long and after tapering down to two milligrams I decided to stop. I feel like obviously the first week was def the most painful physically, here I am four weeks into it and the mental anguish paired with absolutely no energy led me to take about an eighth of the film. Ugh!! Now I am concerned that I will be right back at the beginning and four really long weeks will have been in vain?? All for nothing?? Any ideas? Guess I will soon find out?!... Pray for me!

I'm on day four of no subs after a 24 mg a day treatment for pain and addiction. I wish i never touched the stuff. My pain management doc reccommended them to me after a year long perc and vic habit. I wish i just would of suffered throught the few days of WD from that instead of going on subs. THEY DID GIVE ME MY LIFE BACK. BUT!!!! They are very very very hard to let go of. The WD is not as intense as dope sick but it is drawn out and mostly mental. The first week is achey and pissed off. I know that because thats how far i got before then started subs again. I'm on day four trying again. I got some valium this time to help me throught the worst of it so I'm hoping I will win the battle this time. I'm at work today and i'm an emt and i'm getting through on energ...

My daughter stole four of my 8 mlg tablets. Of course she denies it but that's a different story. I have been on subs for years due to an option addiction I had due to a back injury. Anyway, I only take 4 mlg a day. I don't see my dr until wed and now I only have enough to take 2mlg a day. Will this be ok to taper from 4mlg to 2mlg for a few days? ## Did you go through any withdrawal? If so how bad was it? ## If you do so, you may experience some minor withdrawal symptoms due to the sudden drop in dosage, which may include nausea, diarrhea, rebound pain, rebound headache, tremors, sweating, chills, and fever. Ref: Opioid Withdrawal Information Although your symptoms shouldn't be as bad as they would if you stopped taking it entirely. However, the best thing to do would be to...

I was previously on suboxone for three years and relapsed on morphine for about three days now and want to start my suboxone back up, but I'm not sure when to take it. I think I will try 1mg of Subs and see what happens in a few hours and if I'm sick I'll just take another morphine........crazy I thought I was good til they were in my hands again. The last morphine 30 I took was yesterday morning and the last 15 I took was at 11pm last night. Any suggestions? ## Do not take the subs until you feel actual withdrawal symptoms if u take it to soon it will send u into withdrawal with is much worse I waited twenty four hours and it was ## You waited 24 hours and it was fine???

I ran out of subutex last night - can I take suboxone today? ## Hi Ash, Based on my research, there are no drug interactions listed between Subutex and Suboxone. So with that being said, I wouldn't anticipate having any problems when switching between one or the other. Also, because Subutex contains the same active ingredient "Buprenorphine", taking the two meds together or within a short a time frame of one another would also be similar to just having an higher dose of Suboxone. Is your doctor also aware that you're taking both medications? ## Have only four 8 strips Suboxone to last until January 21st! I currently take 12 mgs day. Reason Im short? They were stolen and I can't turn the person in as he is family. I have no concrete proof. anyway, I've be on this ...

Yes !!! I was on 120 mg. - 180mg of methadone daily for 18 years and didn't thinkI I would ever be off methadone, but 24mg of soboxone did me good with little side effect or withdrawal. I did it in rehab and the fact is you have to be determined and dedicated. Suboxone/Subutex iwas developed in, I believe, France years ago and has been usrd succissfully in Europe for years being accepted by the FDA in 2003. Go for it.

I just got switched from subutex to suboxone the teva white round ones that day 93 on One side and 5721 on the other side. Has anyone ever been on these and how well do they work and could u just let me know how that did for u. I'm kinda nervous about switching. . ## Hello! I just got thest from my pharmacy as well and the side effects were really bad for me. I don't even think that they are real. Let me ask you this, if you take three or four of the pills and look at one side of each, looking at the 93 side left to right, and then when you flip the pill over to the left does the 5721 read at a totally different angle (the the 5721 is not imprinted in the exact same location as the 93?) do this with a few of the pills .

I took the Suboxone too fast. I'm not sure what to do. I'm very sick (worse then normal) What do I do? Please help! ## Hi, I am not really understanding your post, do you mean you started suboxone before you should have for the first time if so that would have bought you back into major withdrawal. I am not sure what you mean by saying to wait for four days. The best thing to do is call your doc. I hope you are feeling better soon. ## hey i did the same thing. if you take them before you start withdrawing from the opiates it will send u into immediate withdrawal. You don't have to wait to take it again, the naloxone in it have already wiped out the opiates in you system ## Yes, in a case like this, please contact your doctor or go to the nearest emergency room.

I started Suboxone four days ago. I am taking a whole 8 mg Suboxone twice a day. I also take 45 mg of Adderall a day for ADD and I need the Adderall because I am a college student. Is it harmful to take them together? The Suboxone has done excellent for me, and has kept the Oxycontin out of my mind. I got addicted to tabs when I was playing college baseball in order to play through two broken fingers and bum shoulder. So instead of doing a gut check time dealing with the pain through an ice bucket or taking some time off to heal up, because I was just a freshman and I was battling it out for starting spot with a all-conference senior. I became immune to the tabs, so a player introduced me to Oxycontin. I was taking 80 mg a day. This continued into the fall season of my sophomore year un...

I have been taking 32 mg suboxone/subutex for over a year. I switched to Methadone four days ago. I had my fourth dose of methadone today...50 mg. I feel like I’m in at least partial withdrawal, even though it’s only been 12 hours. There’s not much methadone built up in my system, so would it be safe to take subs now? I feel lousy, but I’m terrified of precipitated withdrawals. I’m guessing that wouldn’t happen, because the methadone hasn’t had a chance to build up in my system. Any advice would be so appreciated! I’m taking my recovery seriously, and I don’t want to relapse, which is tempting right now. Thank you so much in advance for any advice you might have. ## That's an awful high dose of Suboxone!

I have been prescribed Vicodin for the last 7 years by the same Dr for a back injury that occurred when I was struck by a car. I recently (three weeks ago) decided that I wanted to stop taking the Vicodin because I saw myself taking too many to get the pain to go away. So at that time I began to taper off the pills and made an appointment with a psychiatrist that could prescribe Suboxone if that was the final decision because I was very afraid of withdrawals. (Back up a little in the story) about four months ago I was taking approx 8-10 Vicodin a day and when I tapered off I was down to two a day and had been for about 2-3 weeks. So when I talked to the psychiatrist he prescribed 4mg (or a half of a tablet) twice a day. I waited until I began feeling some withdrawals and I took the Subo...

Hello, I have been taking Suboxone for approximately 3 weeks. I was taking opiates, legally, for four+ years but recently I had problems after surgery by increasing my dosages and eventually running out quite often which lead all my doctors to a rehab place. I went through 3 weeks of Intensive Outpatient Treatment which was complete crap but it kept me busy during the morning. I now have an Rx from my PCP who KNOWS about me being on Suboxone and said to stop the Suboxone for a couple/few days and then start the Oxy's. Here's my question: Can I fill the Rx for OxyIR when I'm going to be picking up my most recent Rx of Suboxone tomorrow? I feel like the pharmacy might be thinking it's Doctor Shopping but if they call my PCP, he knows about the Suboxone use. He desperately ...
