This would be something you would have to discuss with your doctor because what may work for some may not work for you. Buprenorphine which is the active chemical in suboxone has been shown to be an effective pain killer but I believe in the U.S it is almost exclusively prescribed to addicts to kick the dope. No one here could give you a correct answer to this question because sure it may be an effective pain killer for me, but it may not relieve your pain. Good Luck!!
{Edit} First off, if you are not on painkillers you should definitely not take Suboxone. It may be low milligrams but it is a very potent drug. 2mg and a valium or a beer have killed first time users. What the above poster stated is true, but morphine is the gold standard of pain medication, comparative to the more prescribed Oxycodone. Hydrocodone is the most commonly prescribed medication for chronic pain. Your doctor could not give you suboxone anyway, that is specifically for opiate dependence and must be licensed to prescribe. Butrans is a buprenorphine transdermal patch for pain.
I do not think so. I cannot see any reason why it would. I do not feel any effects off of Suboxone really. No "high" that is for sure. Best person to ask would be the doctor that prescribes you your Suboxone.
Your best bet is to contact physicians in Philadelphia who work Suboxone, they would have the best knowledge of any programs that might be available to her. Here is a page of Suboxone doctors you should consider contacting. http://www.suboxone-directory.com/pennsylvania-addiction-treatment/4.html
Suboxone, a medication used to treat opioid addiction, can potentially affect various blood parameters, including lymphocyte counts. While some patients may experience changes in their immune system response, elevated lymphocyte levels (lymphocytosis) are not commonly reported as a direct side effect of Suboxone. If you have concerns about your lymphocyte levels while taking Suboxone, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and assessment.
Sure-Jell, a fruit pectin product, is sometimes mentioned in relation to detoxifying substances before a drug test, but there is no scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness in passing a drug test for Suboxone. Suboxone contains buprenorphine and naloxone, which can be detected in standard drug tests. The best way to ensure a negative result is to refrain from using the medication as prescribed and allow time for it to clear from your system. Always consult a healthcare professional for guidance regarding medication and drug testing.
You are best advised to seek medical counsel -- this Web site is not an appropriate place for you to adjust any medication.
Separating buprenorphine from naloxone in a Suboxone strip is not feasible through standard methods, as they are co-formulated for therapeutic purposes. Attempting to separate them could compromise their effectiveness and safety, as well as violate legal regulations regarding controlled substances. If you have specific concerns about the medication, it's best to discuss them with a healthcare professional.
Suboxone, which contains buprenorphine and naloxone, is designed to be taken sublingually (under the tongue) for effective absorption. Swallowing it may reduce its effectiveness, as less of the medication reaches the bloodstream due to digestive processes. Additionally, swallowing Suboxone can increase the risk of side effects. For optimal results, it's best to follow the prescribed method of administration.
Probably none. It would be best to discuss the possibility of a different medication with your doctor to avoid this problem, (ex, Zoloft instead of Paxil).
i would recomend a rapid taper of your daily dose and do not take it 2-3 days before surgey (if u can if not try taking just 1/4 of an 8mg pill or less) discuss it with the surgeon, (unless you do not want him to know your on suboxone) other than that, that's my best answer :)
Both are designed to help with pain. Hydro would be for short term rather intense pain. Savella for long term chronic but less intense pain. I'm not an m.d. but I am a pain patient. I don't think it'd be wise to take the two together. The pain would define which medication is best. Check with your m.d.
Yes, you can generally take heartburn medication while on Suboxone, but it's important to consult your healthcare provider first. Some heartburn medications, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers, are usually safe to use. However, certain medications can interact with Suboxone, so it's best to discuss your specific situation with your doctor to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Niacin, or vitamin B3, is often claimed to help detoxify the body, but there is no scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness in flushing Suboxone or any other medication out of the system. Suboxone, which contains buprenorphine and naloxone, has a specific half-life and is metabolized by the liver, making its elimination more complex than simple detox methods. Relying on niacin for detox can be unsafe and might lead to adverse effects. It's best to consult a healthcare professional for safe and effective detox strategies.
