Suboxone Forum: Buprenorphine and Other Addiction Medications

I agree with Ironic, it is extremely frustrating to know that so many Drs simply don't give a shit if we suffer thru pain. If it were me and could get full agonists a week prior I would definately switch. According to Dr Junig you would require around 60mg a day of oxy just to break even and stay ou...

I am very sorry that your test came back positive. HIV is not the death sentence it used to be, many people live relatively normal lives with HIV. Besides possibly requiring pain relief, I do not see any reason your dr would want you to get off sub but I do not know much about HIV. A lot of people h...

As I posted above I completely agree about the legality issue, as "free" American's we should be able to do anything we choose with our own bodies. I just don't agree that the government should be supplying it's drug addicted citizens with their doc. As Tear said above, there are people that have no...

I agree with some of what you said, if her friend is in a bad spot or considering leaving then I would listen. Hat has medical problems which I will not list here as it is her business. When she is under stress her symptoms flare up with a vengeance. I am talking about listening to the same old ever...

I think if you can then go for it. I would set up a free consult with a lawyer to find out if a lawsuit for inadequate pain relief will fly. There are also sites where lawyers will answer legal questions for free ( I believe lawyers.com is one). If a lawyer thinks you have a case then go for it. It ...

In my opinion you are in the right. She knows how you feel about this guy and the effect he has on her. If she chooses to keep communicating with him then that is her choice but it doesn't mean you have to approve and be negatively affected by it. I think it is selfish of her to expect you to listen...

I would talk to my Dr about switching to the tabs. The tabs do not irritate the mouth as much and may solve your problem.

Hi and welcome, you have gotten some great info from our members. I strongly suggest watching Dr. Junig's videos on YouTube. Dr. Junig runs this site and is an addiction specialist. He is a big advocate of Suboxone therapy and has a vast knowledge of sub. He has a short video series that will answer...

That was like reading a novel, it had me on the edge of my seat. I am a sucker for a love story with a happy ending. It's weird how the things that rip some apart can make others closer. My husband and I have never split but we have had a rough couple of years and we too are much closer because of i...

Hi and welcome! I believe the main reason for the drug test is to test positive for opiates and secondly to maybe see if you are doing any other drugs. I do not think any sub Dr would turn away a patient that failed their first drug test for other drugs. Some Sub Drs don't mind if their patient's sm...

When I was on the film I would get nauseous too. I found if I ate something small 30 min or so before dosing it would help. Eating after just made it worse. I also hated the taste at first but got used to it and it didn't bother me at all. I hope the sames true for you.

I agree that the government shouldn't be able to tell us what we can and can not put in our bodies. That is not what's being discussed here, if it were then I would say go for it. This is the government supplying addicts with their heroin with tax payer money. A government has no business supplying ...

Congrats and welcome Lindy! I am glad you had a successful induction and are starting 2012 sober, it's a great feeling! I suggest reading everything you can on the forum, it is full of valuable information. I hope you stick around and find the support and comfort you need here. This forum has been i...

Wow, quite a story! You have come along way, I know it's scary to think your treatment could end but all we can do is embrace today. Nothing in life is certain and always thinking of the worst case scenario will just leave you stressed. It sounds like you have an extremely devoted husband and that h...

At the top of the page is the Suboxone Talk Zone link, click it and it will take you to Dr. J's blog. I believe this is the article you are referring to: http://suboxonetalkzone.com/precipitated-withdrawal-now-what/ According to Dr. J, he should continue to take his full dose every morning and shoul...

Hi and sorry your boyfriend is having such a difficult induction. I am no expert and basically everything I know I learned here. From what I've read taking more sub now shouldn't make him feel worse but it just might take a little time to make him feel better. I agree with Romeo and would try giving...

Differences between bup and heroin besides there legal status? 1. Bup will not get you high once stabilized 2. No more shooting up (yes there are a small # of idiots that abuse it) 3. Bup is not your doc 4. It is almost impossible to od on bup (yes, there have been very few cases when mixed with ben...

Thanks for the info! We've had this question asked a few times and although I didn't think the military tested for sub, I couldn't say for sure. It's great to have an answer from someone that has experience.

No kidding, this I deserve everything attitude is a lot of what's wrong with the world. In my view Christmas is a day for kids and all I ever want for Christmas is to see the excitement and happiness on my kids faces Christmas morning. I have 4 children, boys 5 & 3 and 14 month old twin girls so as ...

Hi, first I would like to thank you for your service to our country. I can not answer your question with absolute certainty but I do not believe the military tests for sub. Sub does not show on a standard opiate test and a specific test has to be given to detect it. I have read about other service m...
