Suboxone

Suboxone is a detox or maintenance medicine for people addicted to opiates. Questions should pertain to suboxone, or subutex, which is the same medicine without the opiate blocker.

Can drinking lots of water clean out your system from Suboxone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It might help, but you should be aware that drinking too much water can kill you. Don't overdo it.

However, Suboxone does NOT show up on drug tests, unless the employer specifically tests for it, which my doctor says is incredibly rare. See the Related Question below.

What can you do to help your pain from withdrawing from Suboxone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There's nothing you can do, except take more opiates. And the withdrawal will last for a long time, at least a couple of weeks, and maybe a few months. Sorry. At least it's not as bad as methadone, though. Withdrawal from methadone is even more painful, and can take 6 months or more.

Will suboxone show up on a doctors drug screen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, any halfway decent pain management doctor tests for medications you are taking, to see if you are having liver problems, kidney problems, and various other types of medications you may be on to not only see if you are in compliance with a pain management program, but also to check to see if your body metabolises the meds you are taking. I take buprenorphine for pain and my doctor urine tests me every time. It is part of the contract one usually will have to sign.

Does Suboxone help cover up opiates on a drug screen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Absolutely the contrary will take place in that Suboxone will completely displace the opiates out of your system within one day. This stuff is a miracle drug for those serious about beating their demons with opiates as there will be zero withdrawls on day one.

Can you overdose on heroin while taking suboxone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

by no means, it's a safer detox medication to get off heroin (any opiates*). I take it. saved my life.

so your answer is not at all. do not use it to get high. It is for detox for people who really need it. schedule 3 drug a maintenance medication. but it does give me a fake buzz to stop my heroin cravings. it is a miracle to me. I'm not a doctor but this is my experience.

to keep me from using. all abused drugs are bad especially in that category. both are highly addictive. be safe get help if your using dope or addicted as it almost stole my life two nights ago. its really a cliche to say either is better or worse. do some more outside research on this med to understand it better, I think you have a different perception of what this med is actually used for.

How long will you test positive for suboxone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, Suboxone does not get you "high." The effects of Suboxone last up to about 36 hours. If you just take it out of the blue you won't get high but you will be in a little bit better of a mood and will notice you have a lot more energy. You should never take any drugs for recreational purposes. Suboxone is also very addictive itself and has very serious withdrawal if you suddenly stop taking it after prolonged use. well i am a methadone addict i don't just use recreationally. i am trying to quit. I disagree....Suboxone got me very high. And it lasted a LONG time. I remember going to a wedding, I took the Suboxone in the afternoon and was still high at midnight. The above post is right, it is addictive and the withdrawals suck. Well, you do feel a little something with suboxone, I pesonally would not categorize it has feeling high , cause if you have ever shot up heroin then you can't really say that suboxone gets you high. It certainly makes you feel better. But if you just take it out of the blue you will a slight buzz but nothing to write home about.

Can you take amphetamines on top of Suboxone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. Suboxone is an opiate, a downer, and amphetamines (aka speed) are an upper. So the speed will get rid of the sleepiness that Suboxone causes, and the Suboxone will get rid of the jittery feeling the speed causes. However, taking both downers and uppers at the same time is bad for your heart, so be very careful not to take too much of either drug.

Can you take ultram with suboxone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I tried to take Ultram after I was dosed down off of Suboxone. The Ultram had absolutely no effect for about a month after my I took the last Suboxone (I was persistent!). I think it's the naloxone in the Suboxone that blocks you from getting pain relief, or a high feeling. Also, once I finally began to feel some effect from the Ultram, it was alot duller and less effective than when I was taking it prior to Suboxone treatment.

When can you take pain pills again after taking suboxone 2 days prior?

PS-I am a nurse.

How long do you wait after taking Darvocet to take suboxone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I took two Darvocets this morning (about 8:00 a.m.) then took my regular 8 mg Suboxone about 2:00 p.m. and feel great. I've been on 16 mg Sub (one in the a.m. and one in the p.m.) a day now almost three years. There is not enough Naloxone in the 8 mg tablets to make you sick unless you crush/inject it. It's only then that the Naloxone is activated. So, I'd say within four-six hours or so after taking an opiate, you're good to go with the Sub as long as you take it as directed (sublingually, no injecting).

How long before you can take Vicodin after taking 2Mg suboxone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

24-48 hours minimally. 72+ hours is ideal for full effect, even with a dose as low as 2 mg. Due to the nature of buprenorphine's (suboxone's active ingrediant) long half life, consecutive doses over a few days will take even longer to clear the system.

What could cause a drug test to be positive for Dilaudid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not a 100% sure but the only thing I did differently than normal, and the messed up part is that they are prescribed that way is that I took 2 at one time. But I am on Oxy

30 IR every 4 to 6 as needed and 2 60 Morphine ER every 12hr and apparently I tested positive for dilaudid.

My Dr sent me a letter saying I tested positive and that he would not take care of me anymore and that I should ween my way off of the pain pills, like the pain has gone away? I so would get off of these things if I could but the pain is so intense that without the pills I don't want to live. So what the hell am I suppose to do? Blah Blah Blah... I hope this answers your question.

I believe that the morphine was the problem because I normally take 1 every 6 hrs.

Can you take focalin and suboxone together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am on 20mg/day Suboxone and have been prescribed 8mg Zanaflex/day and haven't had any sort of bad reaction to the combo. I've taken my Zanaflex at the same time as the Sub and still all has been fine. Just a word of warning, Tizanidine (Zanaflex) is really harsh on the liver and you should be careful if taking it long term.

Can you dissolve buprenorphine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes but the naloxone in the medicine has a very similar solubility and molecular weight so it will disolve to with buprenorphine. Naloxone as you know is narcane, a medicine which is not orally active but injected will have quite the opposite effect of an opiate.

You take suboxone but you need something anxiety?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes this is a common side effect of suboxone. I struggled with taking xanax with suboxone for awhile which is very dangerous to do, but I cut my dose of suboxone back to only 8mg a day, and that really seemed to help. I still get anxiety daily, and ALWAYS want xanax but have been able to not take any. I am taking an anti-depresiant type drug called Sevalla now and it helps alot with the anxiety. My suboxone Dr. recommended it to me because of my anxiety. Maybe ask your doc about paxil or some type of non-narcotic anti-anxiety or anti-depresant. I hate to say but if you did real dope for a long period of time and are now on suboxone, that anxiety feeling is there to stay, there's nothing you can really do to make it go away completely except taking benzos, and believe me you do not want to go down that road, cause it only leads you back to the addictive personality that lead you to suboxone in the first place. Email me at jasondavidrice@wikianswers.com if you have anymore questions or need to talk to someone, I am glad to help. That's why I am on wiki so much cause it keeps me busy and helps with my anxiety! Good luck!
