Yeah I've done lots of googling but most the treatments are quite invasive and serious, can't really seem to find any medications that are likely to work.

I've tried the aluminium hexafluoride concentrate stuff which sort of works but I can't really cover my entire body in it.

Maybe you could take a lower dose of Suboxone? That might help lessen the degree of sweating you are experiencing? Have you tried this? Does a lower dose not hold you yet?

Hope these suggestions lead to helping you out at all, if not, I am sorry that there's probably nothing else I can do. But I mean there might be other people here who might have some tips for you too.

Yes I am planning on reducing to 6mg when I get my next script done in January, my doctor wanted to keep me on 8mg as long as possible to avoid any possibility of relapse however.
 
Hey guys, I'm lowering my dose from 8mg to 6mg a day, and I could use some advice on the best way to break up the 8mg Suboxone wafers. If I use my fingers they rarely break evenly, and credit cards send pieces flying everywhere along with a lot of powder.

So what do you guys use?
 
Crush them into a powder, dissolve into a known quantity of liquid and then you can evenly divide it up using a syringe?

This is assuming buprenorphine doesn't break down in water over time.

A pill splitter, you can find one at any grocery store/pharmacy. They are over the counter.

Good luck with the taper.

It doesn't.
 
Well, your Suboxone doctor might not have been the proper person to bring this to. A general practitioner might not be ignorant to the treatment of hyperhidrosis. But who knows? I seem to be more intelligent than most of the doctors I have met.

opiate addicted patients [who do there research, and aren't idiots and put shit in their bodies they don't know about] usually know more about bupe,oxy, morphine, ect... than their doctors.
 
To divide up the bupe, just break it in half with your fingers...that's really the only logical way to do it because those tablets are so hard to break properly that at least with your fingers you have some control over what you're doing.
 
I know i keep coming back to this topic a bit this last week.
But is there anyone else here who are on an SSRI while on Suboxone ?
And that have felt a difference from when not on SSRI's but on Suboxone..

Cause i think the SSRI is making the bupe act differet, I get more sedated, more of a blurred vision, smaller pupils (like i was on heroin) and this from doing small doses of Suboxone.

Before when i werent on the SSRI i needed larger doses to get well and I didn't get that sedated or the blurred vision or that small pupils.
Its like the Suboxone feeling have changed a bit.

This is probably why I find Tramadol+Bupre to be an awesome combo ... add some low Midazolam , Bromazepam or/and Alprazolam doses and I feel as close to being "stable" as I did before my 15 year H Odyssey.
 
I believe there was some studies being done on hepatoxicity and buprenorphine. I would google it.
 
It most likely it toxic based on some super unachievable levels. But buprenorphine has a ceiling effect meaning that as you add more opiates onto the receptors eventually they can fill up every receptor to a point where you can't take anymore. Unlike other opiates where if you keep filling up on opiates eventually you will get to a point where you will die.

Actually my psychiatrist tells me that the method of recovery based on antagonists is way harsher on the liver than Bupre , haven't read anything on the subject though which is a shame cause I contracted HepsC and thus my interest on the matter.

That's a poor response, that's how the pill's going to crumble a lot.

A pill cutter is typically < $5 to $7 dollars, and will last you a long time. Invest in one. A pill crusher can come in handy too.
 
One thing I know for sure , after having quit H and alcohol altogether for a few months while being on Bupre+benzo maintenance my viral load has decreased substancially thus it'd be fair to assume that at least Subutex is less harsher on the liver than H and alcohol are.

Yeah always knew Trams + Bupe was a good combo that worked. Its cool to see others have found the same to work for them...
 
I never really liked tramadol enough to take it more than the first time I tried it, so I don't know what it's like with buprenorphine. However I get plenty of a high out of buprenorphine, hence why I'm not too interested in finding out how the combo you all are praising really is (for myself, as you all obviously like it).

I definitely like a mild dose of a benzo, or even hydroxyzine with buprenorphine.

yeah Cap , as I stated previously , this Tram+Bupre combo is very,very strange since Tramadol on its own does nothing to me whatsoever regardless of how much I take ...NOTHING ...yet when I combine ,say, 200mgs Tramadol with 2-4mgs Bupre I feel this great synergy which brings me as close to "euphoria" as Bupre can. Very strange drug interaction there for sure specially since I'm one of those who couldn't even tell you what the effect of tramadol on its own is ... as absurd as that may sound.
 
^ Thats weird that you claim to feel no effects with tramadol on its own.. But its true Captain; Bupe + Trams = good synergy and good feeling energy

I know this is weird ,believe it or not in one of my 1st attempts at rehab I was prescribed Tramadol + Buscopan + Lendormim + Alprazolam so it would be easier for me to quit my half a gram H/half a gram coke daily habit for at least 7 days before they'd put me on some antagonist which I think was called Desintoxican or something (this was years ago)... believe it or not those 4 pharms combined did fukk all to me , I still suffered horrible withdrawals ,no sleep whatsoever even after ridiculous high doses of Lendormim which if anything just contributed to increase my cravings for speedballs ... needless to say it was all a major failure which eventually lead me to try other methods like methadone and Subutex maintenance , the latter's proven to be the most effective by the way.

I believe most people identify with this , as in it comes to a point in one's addiction that relief only comes in the form of some other opiate and that is it
