Suboxone

Yes. Suboxone is primarily used to help with the treatement of opiate addiction. It is a wonderful drug to detox from opiate addiction and avoid withdrawal when used properly and under a physicians care. Xanax is used as part of the treatment to assit with anxiety and sleep.

Hi! I also was curious about the suboxone and phentermine combination. I researched quiet a bit on the internet and found only some useful information. I have been on suboxone since May at 16mgs a day. Anyway, YES you can take phentermine while on suboxone-I looked up drug interactions for the 2 and found none. I can tell you from experience..literally for the past three days, I have taken suboxone and phentermine. The suboxone does not block out ANY effects of the phentermine and you will feel the exact same effect as if you were not taking suboxone. Like I said, this is from experience and knowledge that suboxone will not block the effects of any type of speed-like buzz or amphetamines (adderal,phenetermine,cocaine..etc).

Based on how much an how often you use you will devolop a tolernace by the end of a week with daily use or by the end of a month with an alternating day route. This can also be affected by how you use (EX. IV users tend to develop tolerance much faster) I feel some people are more proned to build tolerance faster than others. If you remain a chipper which i highly recommend and use only say once every Saturday every other week you will remain addiction free and get the most bang for your buck. Developing a tolernace leads to the loss off pleasurable effects that opiates give, once you lose it its very hard to get back at a reasonable dose. And if you have never used heroin or any opiates for that matter please start with a very small amount there is no gurantee how potent it will be and you could overdose very easily your first time.

24 hours after initial consumption of methadone you should be able to get high off heroin. Methadone is an extremely potent drug which should not be mixed with other chemicals especially those containing opiates.

Usually patients take it everyday, but it is also possible to take it every other day. Patients and doctors usually prefer everyday because it is easier to remember to take it if you do so every day.

If you are prescribed to take it daily, you should continue doing this until you see your doctor. Changing to an every other day dosing schedule will require a change to the dosage.

Suboxone has a very long half life in your system usually lasting about 36-48 hours. Even after this you may not feel the "full effect" (depending how long you have been taking subox and dosage you take daily) but it will def get you nodding out. Be careful, being that suboxone is an opiate blocker many people do not feel the "full" effect and do more in hopes they will, if this is the case please keep in mind it is still possible to overdose without fully feeling the effects. I have seen this happen to a friend of mine.

absolutly you can! you can inject it one hour after subutex. as long as it's subutex and not suboxone because suboxone has the narcotic antagonist nalaxone in it, but subutex does not so it will not block your receptors.

ACTUALLY, I just tried using H about 3 hrs after taking subutex and nothing happened, unfortunately the buprenorphine stuck to my receptors and blocked the H opiates from working. I felt that the H was there but I didn't get that rush I expected so, I guess, although without naloxone(the naloxone will unstick existing opiates from your receptors and cause severe precipitated withdrawal, this I know firsthand) subutex w/bupe just won't let the good times roll. Suboxone does contain both bupe/naloxone which will block and empty the receptors from opiates. The nalox is also there to negate the abuse of the drug. I prefer Subutex because it does NOT have the nalox in it. Well lets see what happens 12 hrs later.

It has been about 40 hours since I used the Subutex and unfortunately I still can't get high, I know its there in a very subtle way but the rush of the Opiate is missing. I actually tried to shoot up 20 hours after the Subutex and then 26 hours, 32 hours and then 40. I will try again in 48 hours and hopefully I won't waste another shot. I used about 6 mgs of Subutex I.V. style thinking it would leave my system sooner but to no avail. I use H every 2 weeks for a 4-5 day stretch so my tolerance doesn't get too high. When I was on Suboxone I would wait 20 hrs or so and for some reason I was able to feel the H much more than when I was taking Subutex, go figure. If there is an answer to this please let me know. Another thing, I was misinformed about S-Tex thinking I would not get precipitated withdrawal symptoms because of the lack of Naloxone. The negative; I was vomiting like a teenager who accidentally drank the dip-spit cup. The positive; My withdrawals lasted for only 2-3 days instead of a week or more.

It really depends on your body. Most people say that once you start feeling withdrawal symptoms from the Suboxone, you can feel a high from other opiates. Others say you have to wait up to 72 hours for the half life of the drug to wear off.

Yes, you most certainly can. Suboxone is an opiate, just like opium, heroin, morphine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, methadone, codeine, etc., and all opiates are extremely physically addictive. Taking opiates every day for just a week or two -- or taking them around the clock for just a few days -- will result in a serious physical addiction, and the pain of withdrawal is horrible, and can last for months.

People take Suboxone so they can quit taking other opiates -- like heroin or oxycodone -- without the pain of withdrawal. For someone who is already addicted to opiates, Suboxone feeds the physical addiction, without getting the person high. However, once you've quit getting high and started taking Suboxone, you are now addicted to the Suboxone. The only way to stop taking Suboxone, without withdrawal pain, is to very slowly decrease your dosage over a period of several months, or even a few years.

This is not a safe combination. Ecstasy itself has the potential to cause serious side effects such as elevated heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. It can also cause psychological effects such as hallucinations, feelings of panic, and depression. Combining it with other drugs only makes it more dangerous.

No, no it absolutely won't. It must be tested for as Buprenorphine. Only Opiate derived substances will. So Fentanyl will go buy. I got a job that had a 7-panel urinalysis with a piece of sticker in my mouth. That goodness that monkey is off my back.

I have been taking lamictal and suboxone for 22days now and this is what was prescribed to me so as far as I know its safe, I have had no side effects.

The answer is no. While buprenorphine is much more powerful than hydrocodone, it is a partial agonist meaning it will bind to the receptors in your brain and lock in, not allowing any other opiates to react until the buprenorphine has worn off. Combined with a buprenorphine tolerance, it may take individuals as long as 5-7 days before they can actually feel the analgesic effects of other opiates, as buprenorphine has a slightly longer half life than other known prescription opiate painkillers.

I was told by the clinic that I attend to received my Methadone that it IS safe to take prednisone while taking Methadone. I am currently on my second prescription of prednisone and a Z-pack antibiotic for a chest cold and this time as with the last time I was on the antibiotics, the swelling in my hands, legs and feet that I have had due to the Methadone has gone completely away!! I have been having the side effects of extreme swelling and water retention since being on methadone, to the point to where I can hardly get my body out of the bed in the mornings, my joints ache and if I sit still for long periods of time the fluid in my body from the swelling settles in my legs, feet and joints so when I go to get up it usually takes me a minute or two, literally, to stand up and be capable of walking b/c I am so sore...but the prednisone makes that all go away within 48 hours of the medicine being in my system. I began my round of the predisone 2 days ago and this morning I awakend with NO fluid on my body and have felt WONDERFUL today!! I don't know if the results of this are typical for everyone, but I know it has made a HUGE difference for me and I feel just fine, no other side effects...but the bad part about this is about 5 days AFTER I complete my round of the prednisone the fluid slowly begins to build back up in my body resulting in the terrible pain and discomfort of the fluid retention...also, I am not sure if the dose mg makes a difference in how bad the swelling becomes, I have yet to ask my doctor that question...anyway, I hope my statement helps anyone who was asking about taking the two meds together!

Its pointless to take percocet while taking suboxone because suboxone blocks all of your reseptors in your body so the narcodic from the percocet cant get in your reseptors, its a waste of percocets

my psychiatrist gave me Suboxone 8mg/2mg , I also take Vicodin 5/500mgs for breakthru pain, is this safe?? and how long do I have to wait to take a vicodin, well, actually it would be hydrocodone the generic for the vicodin, to work on my pain??

depends on the amount you took prior to the test. normally you should wait at least 7 days after stopping Lortab to take a drug test. This time frame normally ensures the test will not be affected. Always make sure to notify the person administering the test that you took medication.

It will show up as an opiate on a urine drug screen. Suboxone is composed of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a mixed opioid agonist-antagonist and naloxone is a pure opioid antagonist.

Buprenorphine (Suboxone) has an elimination half-life of about 37 hours. This means that every 37 hours, half of the buprenorphine left in your body is removed. After the first 37 hours, only 1 mg will be left, after 74 hours, 0.5mg are left, etc. In short, most of the drug will be gone in 4 or 5 days, but it will be weeks before all of it is gone.

Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and Naltraxone. It does not shown as an opiate because it is not an opiate since its is not made from opium . It actually keeps you from getting high from opium. The suboxon fills your opiate receptors and the naltraxonw blocks real opiates from getting into your system. It tricks your brain into thinking it has opiates and blocks them if you do take them. It is a serious antagonist and if you do take an opiate based drug while using suboxone, you will become violently ill. It does have an half life meaning every day after you take it, there is half of what you took, 2 days, 1/4 and so on unitl it is completely disipated. you have to be tested for it to even have it come up positive.

It usually dissolves completely within five minutes, but if they have been on a shelf for awhile can take up to 10 minutes. Suboxone should only be taken sublingually(dissolved under tongue), if not taken this way it is virtually ineffective.

I was presrcibed phentermine today and I am also on suboxone. The doctor said it is ok to take as long as I go to the doctor every two weeks for a checkup. I did some research and phentermine is a controlled substance in the U.S., it is legal here and its also an anphentamine which means it's easilly addictive. If your on suboxone for being addicted to something else, your doctor will probably have a hard time giving it to you. That is why I have to go every two weeks for a check up. They are ok to take together but there are major side effects. Some people have arymthia's in their heart.. including sinus arythmya, which taking phentermine with an arythmia can be deadly. I would suggest getting and EKG before taking phentermine to make sure you dont have one!I know there are people who would take phentermine without a doctors knowledge and I would highly suggest NOT doing it!! Def, get checked by a doctor first to make sure you wont have complications!! I am not a doctor, but this is the information I was told! So please see a doctor before taking phentermine alone, yet again while taking suboxone at the same time!!
