Suboxone Forum: Buprenorphine and Other Addiction Medications

Dont get too laxed. Get on the phone soon and get a longer term situation going just in case. Good Luck.

Welsome to the forum and I am sure some of our regular posters will be by soon to welcome you too. I am on methadone and a bit uninformed on the suboxone procedures so I can not answer your questions accurately But hang on I know help is on the way.

Are you going to continue staying home daddy with the new baby? Oh what a delight that will be for you.

Yes you can take percs but they probably won't be needed. Usually after having a baby pain relief is not needed. Unless you tear like I did and had to have stitches. But...I certainly would not breast feed if I took something else. From what I have read it is kind of a good thing to continue taking ...

go to an NA meeting. Even if you can talk to “normal” people, go to a meeting anyway. They are easy to find and even though it is scary as hell walking in your first time, you’d be surprised at how it makes you feel afterwards. If you go to a meeting and you don’t like it, try another one. ...

Maybe you should go on methadone short term until you find a sub doctor. It take two days at most to get dosed at a clinic. I know it is hard to go from methadone to suboxone (72 hours methadone free) but before I dealt with too many days of discomfort I would consider that. And....U could get subox...

I like you had a mother who was always wanting to find something to blame for the way I was. The ironic thing was all the psychiatrist she sent me to all agreed on one thing my mother was a definite problem in my life. My life as a child, my life as a teenager, my life as a young woman, my life as a...

Young&Confused, Wow I just realized I threw all that at you but failed to help you with any solution except I did say ORT (opiate replacement therapy) could apply and benefit you. I think it would and I will tell you why. Well everyone is different but lets talk about you.....and then you throw in t...

That's really inspiring and you know what sometimes stories like that help more than the harsh reality. I am so happy to hear that drugs only robbed you for a while and you and she won in the end. And congrats on the new baby. I am so happy in fact I am going to close my computer now and go to bed. ...

Youngandconfused Wow I wish at 23 I would have figured out what I was doing or what I was getting myself into. I too was introduced to PK due to illness mine was kidney stones Chronic I would get them about every six months and have to be on PK for months at a time. Today when I get them I get them ...

Wonderfully put stephent

I know it's like a dream come true. I still can't believe it myself. I am on methadone but just not to be using opanas anymore is unbelievable. It's been two years to me the second longest period of time I have ever had in thirty years. Somewhere down the line it is good to start dealing with the dr...

There are quite a few people who smoke on suboxone. I live in NC and we do not have the Medical cards so our clinics and or doctors do not let you get away with it. Thats a pretty low dose you are on so I can not imagine them being to hard on you about it and especially with a medical card.

I am real happy for you and well that guy it's not like you stole his job. He just handed it right over to you on a silver platter. lol Hey it seems like a ghost town around this forum. Kind of spooky while I sit here alone in my house watching the Drew Petersen Movie on Lifetime. Where is BreeztAnn...

Well Girl, Wow what a mess. And....Well I would like to say 9 months is long enough to deal with our wreckage of the past, but I have found out this crap can go on for a long while. I still find myself dealing with issues from years ago haunting me. But in this case you do have some options and well...

I can deal with constructive criticism. This has been a long two year ordeal for me with alot of ups and downs so please no insults or attacks. Just don't comment if you have plans of such. Thanking you in advance. Well I went back and seen the doc today. For all of you that know my story somewhat, ...

Here's you a NEW THEME SONG........ Well we're movin on up, To the east side. To a deluxe apartment in the sky. Movin...

I think it is a total violation. I am sure I am not the only person that has deep rooted trauma issues regarding this. I remember sitting on the pot trying so hard to hurry and pee when bobby (my uncle) use to come in and want to shave or brush his teeth etc...My mother worked long hours and she wou...

I was told by someone on here you can't make a conversion but I got this conversion chart from a advocate at my clinic early on. #Pain Killer Equivalent Doses (Oral) 1.2mg.............Buprenorphine (Bupe) 200mg............Codeine (Tylenol 2, 3, 4, etc) 30-60mg.........Diacetylmorphine (Heroin) (oral...
