Can you take suboxone and a diet pill?

No. The suboxone will stop the morphine from working, and you will not get high.

Also, if you are physically addicted to morphine and take suboxone (with a needle or even under the tongue), it will cause you to go into immediate withdrawl. This is one reason why suboxone is used to treat individuals who have been addicted to morphine and other opiates.

Also, combining morphine and suboxone increases the chance of respiratory depression (a decreased rate of breathing). If respiratory depression is severe enough it can cause death. Read all about suboxone at www.subutex.info

Why do you stay with a drug addict?

Forget It If They Are On Drugs Now They Will Be When They Die. Do Yourself A Favor. Get To Where You Can Leave, That Is When You Walk Out You Have Already Moved All The Things You need With You. Go And Never Look Back. God Bless This isn't as simple a question to answer because deep feelings are involved. Once you had a relationship with this person, but when people do drugs they turn into a completely different person. You've hung onto the thought that something you might say to him may make him/her seek help, but the truth is that unless he/she wants help then he/she has to hit the bottom of the barrel. By staying with him/her you are enabling this behavior. People who do a lot of drugs will steal from you, beat you if they think you have anything of value and are hiding it from them (they need that fix because they physically hurt) and no one will stand in their way. Suggest he/she go into a proper detox center and if he/she refuses then you are going to have to leave. You did nothing wrong and you aren't letting him/her down. Many drug addicts have to hit complete bottom and some bounce back because they want too and some die. Good luck! There are people out there that can overcome drug addiction. The important thing to remember is... they have to want to. If they offer to go to rehab after they have gone to prison or are backed into a corner, it's not the same. You need to have respect for yourself. I have been with a person for 5 years. I am tired. I feel like I've aged BECAUSE of this person. The stress is almost unbearable and I'm a laid back person. Please, if you're reading this looking for an answer, the answer is no. They drain you financially. They don't care. No matter what they say, they care more about the drugs than they do about you. If they cared more about you (or themselves), they would quit. By leaving them, you are making sure you aren't an enabler and HELPING them. Let them come back after they have RECOVERED. You will be associated with their old way of life if they get clean. Consider this your sign from God, your warning.

-Does the act of using/obtaining the substance cause distress? How do you deal with cravings? What will you do to get the fix you need to reduce the craving?

Dysfunction

-Are you able to function in everyday life without being disrupted by a craving?

-There are many "functional alcoholics" and "functional cocaine addicts" in the world, but it is only a matter of time before they become dysfunctional.

Danger to self and others

-Is the drug of choice dangerous to your health? Are you going to overdose? Are you drinking and driving, endangering others?

How does alcohol abuse start?

Many people believe that substance abuse comes from "gateway drugs" and peer pressure. However, substance abuse has been proven to be attributed to character traits that some people have, as well as genetics, and the environment that people come from. People who are easily convinced by others, type B personalities, and other traits make people more susceptible to substance abuse, especially in combination with parents who are frequent substance abusers, especially in the presence of their children, and also the environment that people come from. People are molded by the environment they come from, and by what their parents show them as acceptable behavior.

Is there something you can take to get suboxone out of your system?

Are you referring to getting it out of your system so you can pass a urine toxicology test? In which care there usually isn't much to worry about. Buprenorphine can only be detected with a specialized test for Bupe, it doesn't show as a typical opiate.

If your hoping to expedite the process of having the Sub wear off so you can do an opiate again then no there's no way, you just have to wait until the Bupe wears off and detaches from your opiate receptors.

if your worried about probation or parole drug tests. suboxone will show up as an opiate. the only one you can pass the test, is if your on methadone. that o.k. for prob and parole tests.

^ that's not true. suboxone does not show up as a opiate. i am on house arrest and yes they do drug test me for suboxone. i have been going to the sub doctor for 2 1/2 years. misdametor probation does not test u for suboxone but my house arrest officer does. go to medtech.com and it will show you the test with suboxone (bueprenorphine) and all the other test with it.

Do not listen to him suboxine tests can be bought online for as little as a dollar seventy five and methadone is standard for all 10 and 12 panel test I have even seen them on six panel tests. You obviously need some training on how to use Google. Try this Buprenorphine drug test kits those key words on Google will prove your a complete idiot

Totally untrue methadone is standard on all 10 and 12 panel tests now. That statement was true 10 years ago. And you can buy single suboxine test for as little as 1.75 they are

No no no you are completely back words

How are replacement drugs used in the treatment of drug abusers?

The problem with opiates is that, due to the artificial scarcity created by prohibition, they are artificially expensive. Since the average person cannot long support a habit by working, they end up turning to crime.

For an addict, all opiates are interchangeable. That is, any opiate will do the job of making you "well." In other words, if you are addicted to oxycodone, heroin will do just as well.

So, replacement drugs are simply a different opiate - methadone or buprenorphine - which have the benefit of being longer-acting than recreational opiates, (one dose every twenty-four hours rather than four doses per day). They also have the benefit, at least from the moralist's perspective, of not getting you high. This is because the shorter-acting an opiate is, the more euphoria it provides.

Since these replacement opiates are obtained legally, they are much less expensive, (although still over-priced), than those obtained on the black market. Since opiates do not harm the body, and since opiates do not impair the user, being able to obtain them legally allows the user to "get their life back." That is, they can hold down a normal job.

There are no "replacement drugs" for non-opiates. I think it's worthwhile to make a distinction here, because the word "addictive" gets thrown around pretty loosely these days.

Opiates are addictive. If you take them long enough - everyday for a month - when you stop, you will become very ill.

Other drugs are compulsive. If you used cocaine or speed everyday for a year, then stopped, you would not become ill.

It is possible that certain other drugs, such as barbiturates and benzodiazepines are addictive in the same sense as opiates, but I am not too clear on that. Again, no clear distinction is made these days, and anything people do to excess is called an addiction.

Can suboxone give a false positive on a drug test?

No it will not. On your standard urine text the buprenorphine nor the naloxone witch make up the suboxone will not.register for any of the drugs they test for. If it is a test they are sending out to a lab it will show up but they usually have to be looking for it .. it will not show up as a opiate tho

If you snort your suboxone will it work?

Yes, if you snort Suboxone it will work.

It is not a good idea to do so, however.

It can lead to ear infections, sinus infections, and other troubles down the road.

It should work just as well under the tongue, as long as you keep it held there tight under the tongue the whole time and do not speak or let it wash out before it's absorbed.
