Suboxone Forum: Buprenorphine and Other Addiction Medications

I am trying to figure out how to catch up as I am real interested in your situation can you please give me a brief synopsis on this please....???..... What is the deal with the masses on the lungs???? I did see the post about the jerk doctor. I wanted to tell you that I am on methadone and for the f...

Hi Jonboy!! I always smile when I read your posts! Thanks for that. I know absolutely nothing about coffee and depression except to say that when i used to have depressed episodes, i actually did feel better with my morning coffee. I wonder if there is some correlation between the two. However, caf...

I really got a lot out of all the replies. I must admit that prior to the reading of all the replies, I had my own opinion about whether or not I have suffered permanent damage or not to and from opiate abuse...I think I did.....as anytime I did indeed do without any opiates (abstinence) a year here...

Yeah I never really minded driving there everyday either too much. Snow was a bit iffy at times but it was a way to stay connected to recovery daily plus, I have a wonderful counselor which is nit so often the case.

Romeo how is amber??

BBoy I don't usually visit this forum too much anymore...I just felt like there was not enough methadone activity, although I must say I as a methadone client was offered a lot of support by all the people on this site. So it was nothing bad about the forum per say I just needed a more actively invo...

I knew from the get go that I would be on either suboxone or methadone for the remainder of my life when I first sought out help two years ago. I have countless relapses and I am finally in the state of mind to accept that I am chronic. I take methadone. I tried suboxone twice and although I did ind...

Really happy for you. I could read the excitement in your words that you feel such a relief to be gaining some of your independence plus the pain management. I too found such relief in the split dose method. I have went thru three teeth breaking off at the gumline (so the nerve is exposed) and some ...

Oh my how beautiful from view she looks totally normal despite a few lines running around her. She will be fine but I totally understand your feelings about the "parenting room". To a parent there is no difference in dying or needing medical intervention whatsoever. The fear, panic, concern and pain...

Oh Yeah I can't even begin to remember the countless times I told myself it would be different. I would just take a few a day or I would do just one bag a day etc...it never works. I have thirty years of history of trying to write the perfect story of how to do dope successfully. Tried and tried and...

I do not think they do peak and troughs for suboxone, but it is called serum blood level testing and a lot of clinics use it to determine several things. Dose increases and dose decreases. If your peak (4 hours after dosing) is high you can be toxic from methadone so they will immediately decrease y...

I HAVE HAD A CRAZY EFFIN DAY. Listen to this...... another front tooth fell out. (8 months ago the same tooth on other side of my mouth fell out) I woke up Sunday morning with a tooth in my mouth. in the past eight months... 2 of my front teeth have just broke off at the gum. One eating an egg roll ...

double post tried to delete how do u delete??

I can't help but wonder where people have been. Like the therapist found that story sad. I mean it was a great story it could have been a tragedy, but he got up wiped the blood up off his shoes of course, and went on. lol I got tickled thinking and relating to how fast he could run back in the store...

I NEED YOU ALL TO HELP ME AGAIN BECAUSE I AM WORRYING MYSELF SICK AGAIN. PLEASE READ AND TELL ME WHAT YOU ALL THINK. I SO RESPECT WHAT ALL OF YOU HAVE TO SAY. Okay I am having a peak and trough done next Thursday. The doc is doing it himself (femoral artery draw) as I am a hard stick and there have ...

lol. I sure did miss ya tho. I ask Romeo where you were. I have been having some real trying times with my lady. I live in a downstairs apartment and have no bills whatsoever so my husband and I love that part but....who lives upstairs is my Mother's best friend since I was a child and she suffers A...

Do like Hat says Vicoden is an opiate so it's no different than the roxi's so it will delay your induction.

Unfortunately CPS usually gets involved for just a day or two. Don't worry tho they can not take your baby etc... Also the baby could have a few withdrawals but breastfeeding is a good way to possibly avoid those. My friend had to change OB-Gyn's and go to a different one as being on sub made her "H...

If he will not let you try to subutex just to see if maybe it's the naxolene try spitting out any excess saliva after it absorbs/dissolves. Some people say they get relief from this.

There is always the chance that a medication will react in-adversely with someones make up. There is no way that a doctor can determine that IT IS NOT THE SUBOXONE. Your reactions might not be typical but there is always some non typical side effects noticed with every medication and for a doctor to...

I agree with Breezy I think given the amount of hydrocodone you were taking (????).... maybe the sub was too high of a dose. I think anyone trying to kick a habit that a doctor helped create in that the doctor prescribed opiates for pain and they (you) had to take it for a while, instead of you havi...
