Bupe Suboxone/Buprenorphine FAQ & Megathread v2; 2010

Has anyone had their suboxone DR prescribe you soma's or some other sort of muscle relaxer along side suboxone?

My suboxone use is going well, it's just I have pinched nerves and back problems, and when they hurt, it makes me want to go out and use. I figure a muscle relaxer will help with my back and help with the cravings.

I think my DR will give me them, he was very generous on giving me xanax, however, I just wanted to know if anyone had experience getting those, or would a Suboxone DR see using them as part of the problem.

Thanks.

If they let you use Xanax, I think getting Soma will be no big issue.
 
How much should I take?

I've got a pretty high tolerance for percs. I've taken them for over three years now. Supposed to take (2) 10s - 3 times a day. And well let's just say if I had taken them the way I was supposed to I wouldn't be trying to make these couple bupes last me a week. Well, I can easily 9 - 16 a day of the percs. I also take (2) 30 mg of morphine a day which really does absolutely nothing as they were prescribed instead of 20mg oxys due to insurance reasons.

The person I got them from uses them to stay away from heroin and he only uses 1/4 of it twice a day but he also shoots it - which is not an option to me. I'd do anything but that.

Soooo I have absolutely no idea how much to take. Would love to get high but I can do w/ out that as I figure that's probably not gonna happen ... just want to get some pain relief (if that's possible) but mainly I just want help w/ the damned withdrawl.

So any advice on how much of it I should take? Remember, I really want to take as little as possible because I need to make what I have last as long as possible.

Oh! And should I eat before or not? I hardly ever eat before taking my percs and refuse to eat before they wear off. They last soooo much longer that way for me.

Thanks!

Well, since it was my first time taking it (I read way too much about this stuff) I decided to take 1/4 and put it under my tongue this time. Anyone know about how long it might take before it might help?

And yeah, as a parent I've gotta say this ... since when do we have pills that taste like candy?!?

After all the pills I took in high school and all the oxy, perc, morphine, vicodin, opana ... blah, blah, blah ... that I've taken. This is the first time I've ever tasted a sweet candy-like pill!
 
Wow somebody actually likes the taste of sub??

Takes about 45 minutes to an hour for me but it could vary.
 
You should check out the Suboxone Mega-Thread. Lots of good info in there. But:

I had a 150mg a day oxy habit, and I take 2mgs in the morning and 2mg more at night. Some days I even take less, just kind of depends on how I'm doing. Don't expect to get much of a high from the bupe, you may get something (maybe a 'having a great day feeling), but it's not going to be mind blowing...

I also snort mine (which I suggest you do, the BA% is higher), I get much better results that way. If I take my subs under the tongue as directed, I have to take close to double than I would if I had snorted it.

I personally hate the taste of Suboxone. 2mg sublingual should be a good dose for you since you are tolerant. You might feel the effects 20 to 60 minutes after you take it. It's a slow onset for sublingual but it does last a long time.

I won't say that I exactly really like the taste but after eating percs and some of the others ... that's a damn nice treat! lol

But seriously, that could easily be passed off to a kid as candy. Don't want to be a downer here because I love my pills as much as the next guy ... just as a parent it does concern me. (Especially when one of my two kids will be 14 very shortly.)

Thanks - will definitely check out that forum ...

The person I got them from is my brother so I knew it'd be cool and he'd steer me in the right direction. After he bitched me out for cutting myself short and having to go w/ finding bupes cause I couldn't find any other opiates anywhere he told me to try 1/4 first and see what happens. Because we're talking about two different reasons and means of ingesting. He's trying to stay away from heroin and the withdraw, is shooting it and has been doing it for many years. I'm just trying to get myself through till I can get my next script filled.

Soooo ... after checking so much out around here I thought I'd ask here. I might be a pill popper but I'm not a stupid pill popper. I still try to be safe when trying something new. In fact, I more than likely take it too cautious especially w/ everything I've taken over the years.

That's what I kind of figured which is why I took 1/4 under the tongue instead of the 1/8 like suggested above. More than likely I'll snort the next dose. I'll probably do 1/8 that time at first.

It started working in about a half hour which is pretty much exactly how long it takes for my percs to kick in.

Surprisingly enough I did get a little bit of that happy feeling. Not much at all but its there enough to relax me some through the withdrawl. And even more suprisingly it took off the hard edge of my pain.

Hmmm ... would anyone say bupes would be safer for me to take than taking (6) percs a day? (Or I should say a very minimum of 6.) Maybe I've stumbled upon something to talk w/ my doc about? Would definitely need more than this for pain relief because it only took off the hard edge but ... But damn I hate to think of giving up my percs! (I don't want to just as much as I do!)

So you don't take the oxy's anymore at all? And what you've said you take helps you through? All day?

Hmm ....

Damn I feel like kicking my own ass for once again running myself short ... but this time is the worst! I've never been this short!

Thanks to everyone for helping out!

OMG! I am so glad I did this! I feel soooo much better! I wish I would have known it would help this much ... I would have gotten more than I did! Now I don't think that's much of an option.

You all have been so great w/ the help ... and I just thought of another question then I promise I am heading to the 'mega thread'.

I do still have a few of my percs but I'm trying to stretch them out of course so I'm not 100% cold turkey although going from what I usually take to 1 a day - I might as well be!

Anyway ... my brother did mention about not taking any of my percs for at least 12 - 18 hours? I didn't have a chance to ask him why. Anyone know why he said that? I took this about 7 PM - would I be able to take one of my percs at say about 7:30 tomorrow morning?

Hope I'm not being too much of a pest!

He said that because bupe blocks other opiates, so you wouldn't feel them thus it would be a waste.

Did he also let you know its even more important to wait to take the subs after you dose another opiate?

But yeah you can find all this kind of basic info on the first page of the mega thread.

I thought i saw someone asking if there was an easy and cheap way to get off opiates at home. Well, it's not easy, but I know what can easy wd symptoms. So just PM me if you want to know. I don't want to post it here for a few reasons.. but it helped me.
Just the word withdrawals makes me want to throw up!

Sidenote.. this mostly works for people who have a moderate opiate pill addiction, not heroin or anything stronger than pain pills.

Aha - that makes sense. Thanks!

Yes, he did mention that as well ... which was exactly why I got to the point of feeling so horrible today. I wanted to make sure I waited as long as I could before I took it.

Thanks Captain.Heroin I was just coming back here to look for the mega thread. You just just made it quite a bit simpler.

I did see your links in another post earlier and I did read over a lot of the 'noob info', welcome info, etc earlier. Sorry, I thought I was posting in the right area. Thanks for moving it and straigtening me out ;)
