If you don't taper, according to the customary prescribed schedule, which should be provided by your physician, then yes, it is possible to experience symptoms of opiate withdrawal from sudden cessation of Suboxone.

If you have tapered down from about 8mgs/day to slivers of the pill for weeks you will still have a nasty withdrawl from suboxone. Not severe, but a lot longer than painkillers. I know people who have been off of it for 45 days and are still not 100%! Leg pain, loose stool, insomnia for 5 or more weeks, depression,major fatigue. Withdrawl from Suboxone is not as severe as regular opiates, but last about 40 days as opposed to 5 days with pain pills. If you are a Heroin addict or your life is in danger from taking opiates then go on Suboxone. If you are a pill addict then I suggest you go Cold Turkey and save yourself months of pain and depression. The Doctors will tell you Suboxone is a 5 day withdrawl, but if you investigate online you will hear one Horror story after another. The docs will tell you its all in your head. They want people to stay on Suboxone permanently.

The only one I can say I experienced was EXTREME exhaustion. I didnt notice any other withdrawal symptoms but there very well could have been plenty, I just didnt notice any because I was sleeping 18 or more hours per day. This lasted three days and I just decided to get back on it because I couldn't continue like that anymore. I had way too much to do with school and work. I don't even take that much. I take maybe 4mg a day, which is half what I am prescribed. Maybe this is just my problem, but it was unbelievable.

I know two side effects, and I beg you to read this and soak it in and never doubt my advise. Xanax and suboxone can and will kill you if mixed. And secondly, went to Phoenix Recovery in Mount Vernon Washington 1 week ago today to start the suboxone program. I was taking 790mgs of morphine and has tapered to 600mg. I wanted to get on suboxone because I was still on 600mg of morphine, and felt life was passing me by. I stopped the morphine the day before going to Phoenix Recovery. I was given 42 suboxone, not allowed to try it at the treatment center, and sent home with specific instructions...most importantly to make sure withdraw was moderate to severe and 24 hours had passed since the last dose of morphine. I took the suboxone at hour 26, and within 15 minutes I was in the worst withdraw...it was like I was possessed by the devil and then some. I had no control of my motor skills. I tried to suffocate myself, yelling, thrashing, puking, kicking, soiling myself, the worst pain I knew existed. 911 was called and I was taken by ambulance to the hospital and after being treated very poorly and called a liar for what my husband said seemed like hours I was given a large dose of clonidine and have very little memory of the rest. thank God I made it through the night and would like to add that Phoenix Recovery had no one on call, no way to get help, and the Dr. who gave me the meds has never called me back. I did exactly what I was told to do. DO NOT TAKE SUBOXONE UNLESS A DR IS SUPERVISING YOU. DO NOT TAKE IT TOO SOON. ONLY TAKE IT WITH A DR PRESENT. And don't go to a treatment center that seems shady from the get go. If I had been alone...I do not think I would have lived. Peace to all who have passed and all who are suffering and all who are seeking or getting help. I have not taken any morphine or other opiates for 1 week today and if I can make it...so can you. -cleaner than the day before chick..................

The same as the withdrawal symptoms from any other opiate, except less intense. Extreme fatigue coupled with extreme restlessness, nausea, vomiting, hot flashes and chills, insomnia, loss of appetite.

Suboxone is the brand name for Buprenorphine, an opiate agonist / antagonist commonly used as a maintenance medication for opiate addiction. Because Suboxone is an opiate the withdrawl symptoms are similar to that of Morphine, Heroin, Oxycontin, etc. Being an opiate agonist does have the tendency of reducing the length and severity of withdrawl symptoms in some people. Common withdrawl symptoms are: Anxiety, generalized aches and pains, nausea and/or vomiting, sleeplessness, restless legs ("the kicks"), headache. runny nose, and yawning. One addict described opiate withdrwawl as "the worst flu I ever had with panicky feelings and no sleep".

i completely agree with the above description of symtoms of withdrawal from suboxone and am feeling like it is actually worse than simply withdrawing from the lortab in which i was originally addicted to. what a nasty never ending circle.

Do you take suboxone when you are already throwing up for withdrawl?

Can you use herion to help withdrawals on suboxone?

This seems counter productive as Suboxone is used to help withdrawl from Heroin. lf you are experiencing withdrawl while using Suboxone, or when tapering down from Suboxone, talk to your doctor. lf you have been using Suboxone without a doctor's prescription, and are now without it, talk to a doctor, a pharmacist or an addiction clinic. Heroin would be your worst option to help with withdrawl. At home help for withdrawl symptoms: imodium, ASA or ibuprofen or naproxin, something to help you sleep such as Benadryl or Gravol or better yet, a prescription sedative from your doctor. Note - do not use Nyquil to help you sleep.


If you go into withdrawls by taking Suboxone too early when do you take Suboxone again so it works?

So far it has been 15 hours since i took suboxone for the very first time and i still cant use, even banging has no effect. And what really sux is that i took the suboxone too soon after using so it put me into immediate withdrawl so there is no way out right now, just have to wait and try again in 5 or 6 hours and hope something will kill the withdrawl wether it be another suboxone or i will have to use again to get it to go away, but i took it at 945pm last night and it is now just past noon and i just tried and got nothing, zip, zilch, nada, waste of time and money

If a user only injects small amounts of heroin while occasionally taking 8mg suboxone can you even tell they're on it if it's small amounts?

No the Neloxone in the Suboxone completely kicks out any agonist. If you reverse though and have a Heroin habbit and take A Suboxone you will be sent into imediate withdrawl. The half life of Naloxone in the Suboxone is fairly short,but A addict will not wait and this is were many people OD. Your playing a very dangerous game and I hope you don't get this to late. Concerned don't try to shoot over Suboxone it may hit within minutes after filling fine for hours, as soon as the Naloxone is gone all of that Heroin used to try and get high, now kills.


Is suboxone an opioid?

Suboxone is a combination drug, which comprises an opioid drug, buprenorphine, and an opioid antagonist, naloxone. It is used in the treatment of opioid withdrawal in people addicted to opioid drugs. Yes it is an opiate of sorts. Suboxone is a semisynthetic opioid analgesic. It is synthetic , which is why it does not show up on regular drug test, which can only test for pure opiates such heroin and all the others.


If You take the suboxone early Friday morning do yall think it would be ok to take oxycotion are lortab that next morning if you have no suboxones and wont get any till monday?

Please hear me out as a recovering pain killer addict and current suboxone patient... I am going to go out on a short limb here and say that I am almost certain you are in some sort of recovery program yourself if you are taking suboxone and if not you are probably an addict who needs one. The answer to your question is most certainly no. Especially if you are in recovery and properly taking suboxone for that reason under the supervison of a doctor. God knows it sucks to go through wthdraw even for a few hours much less a couple of days but I promise you if you can get through till Monday without relapsing it will be better for you phsyically and psychologically. If suboxone is all you are currently taking then your withdrawl will be very mild compared to the withdrawl of Oxycontin or lortab. It is no were as bad as you remember and if you stay strong I promise you can make it till Monday. Another problem I wish to address is why you ran out of your suboxone early... since I do not know the cercustances I will not speculate on that but if you happen to run out because you may not be taking it correctly well be very careful with that too my friend, because that can cause lots of problems ranging from getting kicked off your suboxone doctor to gettng into the habit of just using suboxone as a filler for when you run out of the narcotics you really want. I hope this helped and I am sure this is not the answer you were hoping for but I promise you, this is the right one. Good luck.


Can you still get high on morphine if you had already done suboxin that same day?

No way, Not a chance. Wait at least 72 hours after taking your last suboxone before you take any opiates\opioids, otherwise you could go into a bad withdrawl from the naloxone in suboxone, or more common, you will just waste the morphine, it will have ZERO effect so dont even bother.


Why do you sneez when going through vicadine withdrawl?

It's a natural body function and has nothing to do with vicadine withdrawl.


Can you take percocet with suboxone?

I want to know can I take percocets after not taking suboxone for three days and will the percocet work effectively? A: It depends on how long you've been taking Suboxone, and how many mgs. If you have been taking a low dosage(less than 8mg a day for about a week), three days should be fine. If you've been taking upwards of 8-24mg a day for a week or more, three days may not be enough. I would wait until you feel "the need" to take opiates again.
