i am going for surgury and am on suboxone. how long before surgury do i need to stop taking it if at all?
If you are taking prescribed suboxone, the doctors will expect to find suboxone or its by-products in testing. It is never a good idea to abruptly stop certain medications without guidance from your doctor. If you need specific directions about your upcoming drug test, contact your doctor or contact the lab performing the drug test.
As long as you're not taking massive amounts of the Suboxone (like, more than two 8-mg pills) yes, the Vicodin will still work as a pain killer, even though you won't get high from it. You will probably have to take a double dose of it, though, or even a triple dose, depending on how much Suboxone you are taking. I am on Suboxone and last autumn I had a root canal, and the oral surgeon prescribed Vicodin for me, but I had to take double doses of it to get enough relief from the pain. I also had to cut my Suboxone dose in half (I was taking 8-mgs per day and cut it down to 4). Whatever you do, don't stop taking the Suboxone completely, because if you completely stop taking it you will have to wait until you're in extreme withdrawal from the Vicodin before you start taking Suboxone again. If you stop taking the Suboxone, and then start taking it again before you're in heavy withdrawal from the Vicodin, you will experience the worst, most horrible withdrawal symptoms you can imagine. You will get really, really sick.
No, it is not safe. Taking ginkgo and suboxone has been known to increase your risk of seizure. While taking suboxone to treat addiction, you need to be very careful what else you put into your body. My advice is to stop looking for pills, herbs, and other "quick fixes" and put all your energy into getting yourself clean.
yes you can, allthough you will not get any buzz what so ever from the vicodin, so its really a waste of the v's. the vicodin will still have the pain killig effect though. best to wait 24 hours at least after taking the suboxone before you take the v's.
Ask your doctor about Suboxone.
Very very gradually, tapper off over the coarse of about 3months or so and that way you can't feel it as bad. As your doctor to prescribe you the 1mg or 2mg tablets, that way you can regulate how much you are taking better than just the regular 8mg ones. Good luck and what ever you do do not just stop cold turkey!
Yes. As long as you substitute it with the same dosage you can. They are the same exact thing with the same method of administration.
YES YOU CAN WITH TECNOLOGOLY
You are an idiot, i take omneprazole and suboxone together every single day and have no problems at all Omneprazole works on the acid pumps inside your stomach, and since you take suboxone sublingually, it bypasses your stomach and goes into your blood stream them through your liver. My advice to you on the heartburn issue is to slow down on the daily does of man gravey and mountain dew, if you catch my drift pillow biter
Tragically no. Suboxone saved my life and I have seen it do the same for many others. I have led a great life and will be graduating with my Masters from OSU soon. Before suboxone I was a heroine addicted homeless high school drop out. I have been on suboxone for four years and my doctor is trying to force me out the program because it has been "long enough." I know many people that take suboxone daily and lead wonderful, happy and productive lives that they never could have imagined before suboxone. Only 3% of addicts ever stop using, and if you find one that has a system working for them for the love of God don't take it away from them unless you enjoy destroying other's lives. May whoever reads this realize there is no need for some suboxone patients to ever stop maintenance, by staying on suboxone they are leading clean, healthy lives. A patient should decide whether or not they are ready to stop suboxone or methadone. By staying on maintenance they are harming no one, so why take from these miraculous few that actually escaped the very tool they use to stay clean?
yes.. assuming you mean suboxone. you probably should be off it for about a week before you try opiates again
