How long does it take to become addicted to suboxone?

You would need to start taking suboxone at the first signs of withdrawal I have been on sub for over a year. I love it. Just as most posts state...sub will give you a "ceiling high." You will be high while you're taking the sub, no matter how much of a tolerance you will build. But really, there really is no "tolerance". You can google sub clinics in your area. Call and set up an appointment. It's really easy. They can usually get ya an appointment in about a week. Insurance usually covers all costs, but if you do not have insurance...it's not that expensive. I mean, it's gonna be cheaper than buying opiates everyday. I have snorted sub, it's usually been when I'm running low on count though. I recommend sub to anyone and everyone who has an opiate addiction. Suboxone is a lifesaver I dunno what I would've done without it.I finally have my life together. I have all me debts paid, a house, a great job, and a wonderful family who fully supports me. It's not easy waking up in the mornings withdrawing and wondering "...how am I gonna get something today?" It sucks. Just think...you can get sub legally and it makes you feel energetic. You WILL NOT experience ANY withdrawals whatsoever once you start the medication. If you can't succeed with sub, you really just do not want to quit.

Do remember: If you're pregnant, you will need to ask for subutex.

will suboxone show up in a urinalysis?

Yes, suboxone will show up in a urinalysis test, but,, it does not show up as an opiate drug, it shows up as buprenorophine and hence has a test of its own

it is very very rare to be tested for bupamorphine, most probation officers don't even test for it. And most employment test do not include this test because it is a separate and very expensive test.(not true=the test are surprisingly cheaper than i would expect about $0.40 for a one panel test and about $4.85 for a twelve panel test.) I have probably taken 100 urine test and am on suboxone and have never been tested for it. I would worry about. (but it is true that they are rarely given on most probation and employment tests...but where more and more people are finding out about and using this drug i would still be careful... who knows as common as they now are they could add buprenorophine as a regular?

Can suboxone be prescribed as a pain relief medication?

Suboxone is a Semi-synthetic chemical called Buprenorphine. Buprenorphine is most commonly used as a maintenance drug for opiate dependent persons.

It is a medication derived from a synthetic poppy material Thebaine.

Buprenorphine is available as a sublingual (under the tongue) film

&SL tablet in 2mg & 8mg doses with .5mg and 2mg naloxone (an opiate antagonist) added to deter IV injection by opiate dependent users through precipitating opiate withdrawal or 'dope sickness'.

A partial mu-agonist (which means the drug only partially occupies the Mu-opiate receptors) will not be nearly as an effective painkiller as a full Mu-agonist such as Hydromorphone and Oxymorphone (very powerful Morphine derivatives for severe or terminal pain, as well as some of the most potent human metabolites of hydrocodone and oxycodone which contribute to an extent the analgesia, euphoria, miosis, and physical dependency of them.)

However, while not a typically dispensed pain alleviation prescription, When not being used to treat opiate dependency patients it is prescribed in immensely smaller doses than those for dependents in a transdermal patch called BuTrans.
