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.

Oxycontin heroin hydrocodone, and SUBOXONE are ALL opiates. when taking a drug test they will all show up the same. So even though you haven't used Oxycontin if you have used suboxone then you will still fail a drug test and show up positive for opiates.
No Subox will NOT show up as opiates on a drug test! I was at an inpatient rehab where about 15 of us were getting high off about 4-8mg, then testing the next morning and passing with a dark red line.. No faint sh*t either.. 1 guy was nodding out from subox while at work, took it about 8 hours prior and PASSED opiate test!!
OK, really? No.....Suboxone is NOT an opitate. It is a narcotic (schedule 2 ). It is an antagonist. And......when a doctor tests your urine, there are several different ways to test. A 3 panel, 5 panel, and 7 panel. Oxycodone will actually show oxycodone, methadone will show methadone, hydrcodone will show that. If you wanna get technical, half of the wonderful world of drugs is an opiate. This is the reason why tests these days report specifics. If you are prescribed suboxone, you WILL be tested for all drugs. Opiates will always have a divided report. Any ethical doc will test you every week or more when giving you suboxone. Why the hell would they try to treat you with something that shows up the same way in a test than what you're supposed to stay off of!?!
Suboxone contains a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is an opioid medication. Buprenorphine is similar to other opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin however, it produces less euphoric ("high") effects and therefore may be easier to stop taking. Naloxone blocks the effects of opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin. Make sense???? So NO it will not test positive for opiates!
Will doctor put you on anything else before suboxone or should you pee dirty with suboxone?
Well first of all you should pee dirty because they will only put you on suboxone if you have an addiction, and second of all the only way you are put on something other then suboxone is if you are pregnant or have breakout in your mouth like ex: blisters from the strips because almost everyone on the strips now thanks to Maine Care if that's how you pay for your prescription's, and like i was saying about being pregnant you will be put onto subutex and then immediately after you deliver your baby you are put onto suboxone.
Can Adderall dependence be treated with Suboxone?
Willpower would be about, if not more, effective than Suboxone for treating an Adderall dependence. Suboxone blocks opiate receptors in your brain. Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts) works by flooding your brain with Norepinephrine and Dopamine.
I can't forget to mention that Adderall is an upper while Suboxone is a downer. They are just two completely different drugs and unless you plan on sleeping off your withdrawal, Suboxone won't do much to alleviate the symptoms.
Can you take suboxone with tetracycline?
yes you can do anything you want....is it safe is the question, but ive taken the two together for quite a while and havent suffered any noticable side effects
What can happen to patient that stops taking buprenorphine suddenly?
Withdrawl symptoms could occur, anywhere between mild-severe depending on the dosage size and frequency.
Yes. In Treatment they usually wait until 24 hours to give you Subutex. Subutex is the same as Suboxone except Subutex doesn't contain naloxone. You can take the Suboxone as soon as you start to feel withdrawal symptoms which can be anywhere from 6 to 24 hours after your last dose but since is has been 23 hours since your last oxycodone use, I would say you are good to go on the suboxone.
Make sure you take the suboxone correctly. Let the suboxone dissolve under your tounge. Don't swallow it because that can cause you to feel immediate withdrawal symptoms. You can't "shoot up" suboxone either because of the naloxone, you will also go into withdrawal immediately. You can snort suboxone, I know someone who does snort their suboxone. I have personally never snorted suboxone because one I do not snort my pain pills(I have had rheumatoid arthritis for 4 years now) and second I read online where suboxone has the same effect whether you snort it or take it like you are supposed to.
How long after taking Suboxone does it take for urine to test negative for Suboxone?
Took a 4mg suboxone and a half of a blue football will you be ok?
No do not do this, it is very dangerous. It is very dangerous to mix these two drugs because the severely depress your central nervous systems(CNS). And when you mix CNS depressants together they magnify the effects of each other. I have heard of people dying from taking as little as 2mg of xanax with 16mg of suboxone. Please do not mix these drugs!
Can sniffer dogs smell suboxone?
No they can not, and don't because there are legal and there are too many different pills out there
What if you only took one 8Mg suboxone and wanted to use a Oxycontin 80Mg today would you get high?
As far as I remember Suboxone works by blocking the opiod receptors so I would guess any dose of it, especially a higher one would eliminate any chance of an opiate high for at least 12 hours. I could be wrong.
Experience: Addicted to Oxycontin, asking docotr for Suboxone at next appointment.
Does the new suboxone strips have any side effects that are bad?
I have heard from my doctor that they might leave bad sores in your mouth from taking them sublingually. Along with the prior side effects Buprenorphine can cause.
Can you take diclofenac while on suboxone?
No...because you have not consulted proper medical help. This site will not give you the 100% accurate answer you need to ensure your safety. Try webmd.com...or your family physician.
Can you take suboxone if you join the military?
I'm not sure which of these two questions you are asking so I'll answer both:
You can get Suboxone prescribed by a military doctor under certain circumstances. This usually requires you to enroll in ASAP (Army Substance Abuse Program, or your branches equivalent) and more often than not spend a time in rehab for opiate addiction. Your chain of command will find out, and unfortunately, will more than likely prosecute you for your addiction and desire to correct yourself.
A personal perspective:Of course everyones situation is different. I am a SGT in the army, and I am taking suboxone, 2, 8mg daily. I was injured in Iraq in 2005, i went through 2 spinal surgeries in 2008 which left me taking 180 mg of morphine daily along with percocets. the doctors wanted me on more and more meds because of the pain . i had enough and i went to my commander after the doctors wanted me on oxycontins along with methadone. i called tricare (military insurance company) and they got me into a treatment center where i was taken off of the pills and on suboxone. The military does not recognize suboxone nor do they have it in their pharmacy. I know this because they told me, and i ended up spending about $300 for a month supply. but if you can get the military doctors or your civilian doctor to say that it is necessary for PAIN RELIEF and a safe alternative to other medication, and you need it, then the military will approve it, like they did for me. Also you can fill out paperwork to get the money you did pay for it paid back to you, like i did.
Another opinion:Suboxone (buprenorphine) is sometimes used to treat chronic pain. However, for the most part, it is prescribed for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence, or used, on the street, to prevent opioid withdrawal when a user doesn't have access to his usual opiates (e.g., oxycodone or heroin). If a soldier/sailor/marine is using the Suboxone for opioid maintenance, or to wean off of opiates, they're not going to be able to use it legally while in the military..at least without repercussions that would likely end their career.
Can you buy suboxone in Mexico?
You mean the drug? Yes, but not by the same name but by its components: hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen.
Why do drugs have legal classes?
the schedules are based on how addicting a drug is and its potential for abuse. schedule 1s are illegal drugs (although pot shouldn't be in with herion and crack, it still is), schedule 2s are narcotics such as adderall or morphine, and schedule 3s and 4s are the less addicting substances like vicodin and xanax.
In my rural town of Pennsylvania people male or female are not permit to take their subs in jail, which i think is completely wrong because addiction is a disease, that's like them knowing you have a deadly disease and not getting you help. I guess they think they are the same as oxys/dope. Shows how smart the jail council is, lol I have been to jail many times and never got my suboxone in jail. They will probably laugh at you. You have a better chance of getting methadone then suboxone in jail. I have of hears that some city jails take you to your methadone clinic if you already go, but this is rare. I would say that you are unfortunately screwed here. I would try to go ahead and stop before you go to jail so you won't experience the worst withdrawals in jail, because that is the worst place to have withdrawals.
Clarks rule states that you divide the child's weight in pounds by 150 to get the percentage of the adult dose. Since 200 is 33% of 600; we can conclude that the child weighs 50 pounds. This is the average weight of a 6 to 7 year old.
What does suboxone show up as on a UA?
Standard urine drug tests used in medical and employment settings do not usually test for Suboxone's active ingredients (buprenorphine and naloxone) or any of their metabolites. This means Suboxone will not show up on standard drug tests. Suboxone will not show up as any opioid. However, special tests such as gas chromatography can be conducted on urine samples to look for buprenorphine, the active ingredient of Suboxone. If the lab specifically looks for Suboxone or buprenorphine, it will come up positive as buprenorphine.
Why does suboxone show up in drug test?
Suboxone does not show up on drug test for probation drug tests.
I myself was on suboxone for almost 2 years and I was on probation for one of them.I did not tell my probation officer that I was taking the product.It did not show up on my drug tests because I never got introuble for a dirty urine.My doctor also told me it wasn't going to show up on a drug screne.So that's my experince with suboxone and drug testing.This was in 2003 to the end of 2004.
TRUE! Most pre-employment and probabtion tests are the "Five panel" variety that test for opiates, amphetamines, metamphetamines, marijuana and cocaine. Suboxone will NOT show on these tests.
Suboxone will show up only in a 12 panel urine test or if specifically tested for. Any panel lower than that, it will not test for it. Suboxone shows up as BUP (buprenorphine).
The typical tests used to detect other opiates (methadone, Oxycontin, percocet, heroin) check for a different metabolite than what's found in suboxone and WILL NOT show a positive result for suboxone and suboxone WILL NOT show positive for any other opiate. This is from experience and research been on it almost three years and just had a 12 panel test today
It is legal for him to prescribe them, but if they are used for "off label" purposes, he runs the risk of serious consequences when the DEA checks his prescription records. Methadone and buprenorphine are, at present, the only drugs approved for maintenance, and they require special licensing when used for that purpose. That is no accident, as both can be abused in their own right.
If you want to get off drugs, don't play around. Go to an inpatient medical detox facility and do it right. By definition, docs who play around in the manner you mention do not know what they are doing, or they wouldn't be doing it. Either that, or they're crooks who want to keep you hooked -- and on their hook -- as part of a money machine. The DEA doesn't like that, either, and you might be pulled in as a doctor-shopper.
