It is a time release formulation of buprenorphine, a mixed opiate agonist / antagonist with a long half-life (stays in the body for a long time). It is used to treat opiate (heroin) addiction in a manner similar to methadone - it prevents the addict from going through withdrawal by maintaining their physical dependence, while hopefully giving them time to recover mentally and financially.
Buprenorphine has several advantages over methadone as a maintenance medication. Most importantly, it can be prescribed a month at a time, so the patient doesn't need to go to the methadone clinic every day. Withdrawal is less severe, and it effectively blocks other opiates so the patient can no longer get high. Ultimately, however, it is another form of addiction, and the patient must either go through withdrawal at some point or take the medication the rest of their life. I am looking more for documentation of it's actual use in place of other meds i.e methadone. I have been put on it, and yet I still can['t seem to get the answers I am looking for from my Dr. who is all for it, being a Pain Management MD< and a meth. withdrawal clinic with suboxone or subutex used.
If you take suboxone for vicoden addiction will you become addicted to it?
no...you will not die...you just wont get the 'high' off the lortab as the other blocks the receptors in the brain
Can you take anabolic steroids while taking suboxone?
If you are taking suboxone, you already have one drug problem! Let's not even think about starting up another one by taking illegal steroids. Go to your NA meetings and stay clean. You do not need any more problems in your life right now.
can a person take famciclovir while taking anabolic steroids?
Is methdome and suboxone the same in a urine screening?
No, methadone only shows up as methadone and marijuana appears as THC on a drug test.
How long will Lortab show in a drug test?
36 to 48 hours depending on the amount you've consumed..also how much body fat you have.
How much suboxone will show up in a drug screening?
Suboxone does not show up in drug tests. It only shows up if they specifically test for it, which my doctors say is very rare.
How long after taking 8m of suboxone will it be ok to take codeine?
Just make sure you wait 6-8 hours after taking a diladid! People say 12hrs but i took two 30mg oxy codone the other day at 10:30 a.m. & then took an 8mg suboxone at 4:00 p.m. and It did me real good! So bottom line I would say wait a min. of 6 hrs!
I took 1mg of lorazepam a couple hours before receiving to injections of novocain, I was fine, stumbled a little from a head rush when I stood up.
Does Suboxone work if you swallow it?
Yes!! A very big difference, if you do not take it sublingually (dissolved under tongue) then you will not be getting all of the bupremorphine in your system. Just swallowing it will render the drug almost ineffective. Take the time to let it dissolve!!
If you are allowed to take oxycodone if you take a Suboxone in a drug test will you be fine?
yes it is very dngerous to take oxy with subs!! you can die no doubt about it. what suboxin does is prevent you from doin an oxy it is a opiet blocker. if you take a sub and try to do an oxy an hour or so later you dont get high or if you do an oxy and then do a sub you will get severe withdrawl symptoms or go into cardiac arrest be careful with both of these drugs.
How many mg is a orange suboxone?
There are 2 doses of suboxone currently available in the u.s., both are orange, lemon-lime flavored, and have 6 sides. The smaller of the 2 is 2mg/.5mg and the larger of the 2 is 8mg/2mg. The ratio is always 4:1 (Buprenorphine HCl : naloxone HCl)
Are the HCG diet drops under your tongue supposed to dissolve and do you swallow the saliva?
you leave the drops under you tongue for about 30 seconds to a minute then swallow. remember not to eat anything 15 minutes after or before taking the drops. good luck! i just started too!
How long does soboxin stay in your system?
From what i understand, my Dr. has informed me that soboxin can stay in a persons system up to ten days depending on the dosage a person takes and how long you have been taking it. I have personally been on soboxin since July 2008. Dosage varies from person to person. My original opiate was methadone and percocet for several months. Soboxin has totally helped be opiate free. In the next few months I would like to get off soboxin also because it is costly if you dont have insurance. Also, it is an opiate base drug, used for chronic useres of opiates. Sincerely, Helene Brooks Bluisun24@netscape.net
What are the milligrams for suboxone?
5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, and ive even heard of 120's but have never seen them
hope this helps.
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
What is the herbal equivalent to Ativan?
There are two ways to interpret this question. One is, what is the herbal chemical equivalent, and one, more general, what herbs can help, relax, tranqulize like Valium.
First off a minor tranquilizer relaxes by relaxing the muscles. In other words it helps ease up tense muscles. That being said, there are different categories of herbals that can relax. There are calmatives. These botanical are calming hence the name. There are nervines. These strengthen the nerves. Another category is antispasmodic. While these arn't exactly relaxing herbs they help calm cramping. In this way they help with stomach distress and thereby they are helpful in dealing with physical stress. Finally there are relaxants. Medicinal plants that are most helpful in making people feel relaxed. Scullcap, Wood Betony, Passionflower and Valarian are excellent relaxing herbs for most people.
Some herbs, including chamomile, sage, lemon balm, and holy basil, are also relaxing, but have markedly milder or weaker effects than valium, and accordingly, are much safer.
What does taking suboxone feel like?
no it will not, at all but will keep you from wanting dope
yes suboxone will get you high after you have been completly opiate for a while, in prison it was our druf of choice they were 50 a strip and 1 8th of a strip would have you noddin but if you have a dope habit and use subone you will feel nothing
How does Suboxone show up on a urine drug screen?
I am in Outpatient Rehab and when I take random drug tests they say suboxone "sometimes" shows up as a lite opiate on normal drug tests. A really good site for answeres about drugs is www.drugs.com/forum or www.pharmer.org
it does not show up on a reg five or ten panel test. the test specifically had to be for bupenorphine. the drug in suboxone and subutex. which is very un common. ive been on suboxone for a yr and a half and taken drug test for legal reasons and the only person that has a test for it is my dr that prescribes it to make sure im still takin it. but that's all. ive seen in super rare cases is may give a false positive for opiates but that's happened to me once. hope this helps
What happens if you take methadone and sebutex together?
Methodone and subutex are both central nervous system depressants and the use of these two drugs together should be monitored. Some side effects may include, but are not limited to, ataxia, confusion, drowsiness, respiratory depression, and weakness. Since both medications have the potential to depress CNS function it is important to recognize that the risk of unwanted effects may increase with such use.
I am on suboxone will i get sick if you take tramadol?
No..it's the only thing i can take while on suboxone
What is the street value of suboxone strips?
Well, face value is 10$. it can be higher in certain cases, but typically it starts as 10, and as time goes on you end up selling them for 5$. usually because the side effects are so awful, the actual interpersonal value of the chemical is always decreasing.
Bottom Line- about ten bucks.
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
Can you take Chantix while on Suboxone?
You sure can, but I would suggest you don't try to quit both tobacco use and an opiate addiction at the same time. Start with one or the other and slowly transition to taking both medications once you have made some progress and gained some confidence. Both addictions can be a nasty thing to overcome so please make sure you are approaching the situation realistically and practically.
