I was on Suboxone 8/2 for about a year. I have presently been taking 1/2 a pill every 12 hours, sometimes a bit less as I am trying to wean. It has been 24 hours since my last dose of 1/2 a pill. Last night at Midnight I had the cramps so I took just less than half of a Oxicodone (old pill I had) for the cramps…that was about Midnight. At 6:15am I took the remaining of that pill. I feel really trippy, dizzy, NERVOUS AS HELL…! I thought I could take this to get rid of those cramps and then go back to taking the Suboxone. I am worred did I OD; overdose or something? Do I need to call 911?? Please help! I have a prescription for Xanax 0.5mg should I take 1 for this nervousness? I feel like I did the last time I took too much Suboxone by accient when I was first getting started with my treatment on Suboxone. I am scared to death!
Okay so I’ll start off telling you what I’m doing. I’m addicted to opiates, not that bad, maybe 10-30mg of oxycodone a day, I haven’t had anything in 72 hours, I have withdrawls, very very very very slight withdrawls (compared to other opiate addicts). I just felt depressed and wanted a pill, not like hardcore fiending calling everyone I know, but there was a craving there. I’m 22 years old, got in a bad motorcycle accident 5 years ago, torn achillis tendon, torn labrum in my hip, shattered foot bones, heel broke in 3 places, back pain etc etc. I’ve had 3 surgeries because of it, I AM in pain almost constantly. Yes I am an addict so I do take them to feel good but I also take them because I have chronic pain. Why don’t I get something prescribed? Long story short, if you’re a young man with pain, doctors automatically assume you’re just jonesing for pain killers. I took 1 suboxone (8mg)at 5pm off my buddy who is a recovering addict, it has 100% effectively KILLED ANY withdrawl symptoms I have, but it has not done ANYTHING for my pain. I have a 30mg oxycodone left. Pretty much I want to know if I take the oxycodone around 12 – 2am (when I get ready for bed), will it effectively kill my pain, or will the buprenorphine in the suboxone still be bound to the opiate receptors in my brain? If you do not have a straight answer, do not reply. If you are going to lecture me on the dangers of opiates, do not reply. I appreciate the help.
I recently have started a daily work out routine, along with a few other lifestyle changes in order to become healthier. I was thinking about taking Niacin pills daily for 1 week to help flush out bad toxins in my body, and just to help out with the start of my workout program.
On another note, I am currently prescribed the medication Suboxone which is 1 of many tools I use to help with my drug addiction problem. I have been clean and sober for nearly 3 years, and have been taking Suboxone for that amount of time as well.
I currently take 8mg’s of Suboxone per day, and before I take any Niacin, I am trying to figure out if it could badly interact with my Suboxone. I know that a lot of people use Niacin to clean out their systems to try to pass a drug test, so I wasnt sure if it would someone mess with my Suboxone.
I know the best thing to do would be to call my doctor or pharmacist, but my doctor is on vacation, and the pharmacist’s phoneline has been busy all day. I will contact them as soon as possible, but in the meantime I was looking for some answers on Y! Answers.
Thank you to anyone that takes the time to answer, and please no rude comments about me being on Suboxone or being a recovering drug addict. I have made mistakes in the past, and have turned my life around, and am not interested in any rude or unnecessary comments about that.
Thanks and have a great day everyone
hello, i had back surgery and was on 4 percocet 30mg’s for 6 months. when it was time for me to stop taking pain pills i felt severe withdrawals so i was precribed to suboxone for 2 months. i stopped taking them 6 days ago and so far havent felt right. although i dont feel like im having withdrawals like i did with the percocets, i have felt cold with goosebumps, been sneezing, and felt a little restless. i figured it could have just been a cold but i found half of a suboxone this morning and broke it in half and took that, now i feel fine. whats going on, after this 1/4 of a sub wears off will i be reset to day one and feel the chills for a week all over again? how long is this going to last, although it is not that bad and dealable it is certainly annoying. i just want to be off the meds, i hate meds and i just want to feel normal again.
saw doc yesterday she said wd should be gone fully by day 10? any help out there appriciated
Before i do it i want to knmow how long it will last because i want to do it before schooll if anybody knows anything please let me know
I’ve been on a certain medication (Suboxone)..
I’m going to the doctor cause I’m so worried. Any advice?
I am now down to about 2 to 3 mg a day. Today is my last day for 2 mg, im going to go down to 1 1/2 mg tomorrow and for the rest of the week. I took 5 days off starting Monday March 1 to go through the withdraw. My question is, will i have a bad W/D, what can i expect? I would appreciate any advice..What can i do to prepare myself? Thanks in advance?
Ok, my friend wants me to ask this for him. The other day one of his old buddies texted him that he trusted years ago selling narcotic pain relievers to one another. This friend of mine is a recovering addict who was addicted to Oxycontin and went through treatment on Suboxone(narcotic opiate antagonist similar to Methadone) along with therapy. He is better now but felt sorry for his old friend when his friend texted him asking if he could obtain some Suboxone(he said he knows how bad the withdrawals can be so he felt sorry) Anyway, all he told his friend was that he would make a call to another friend and see if he could get him some. However he never called the person in question. Then he saw yesterday where this individual was arrested last week(the one who wants the pills) He is scared now that by saying in a text that he would call around that there is the possibility of being charged with conspiracy. He’s a great guy who has made a good change in his life and had a weak moment of feeling bad for an old friend. I know that doesn’t matter when the law comes to question. Thanks in advance!
I was just wondering if you would be able to do this because the suboxone is easier to come off of than methadone.Thanks.
