How To Get Off Suboxone (Page 40)
(Newest replies first)

Im Marina Im 24 years old and a mother of 2 beautiul little boys. From the years 2006-2007 i was heavily addicted to Oxy 80 and eventually started doing herion. I got help in sep.2007 at a methadone clinic, it worked for as long as i was on the methadone i had NO relapse's. In June 2009 i was completly off of the methadone that first day that i was on 0Mgs I went through extreme withdrawls i went through things that i would never wish upon my worst enemy! i stayed that way for a day and a half and decided to go to a suboxone doctor. He put me on 32 mgs a day which i thought was pretty high of a dose but he explained to me that methadone withdrawls was worst then any other withdrawls. so i trusted him. Now when i go to see him every month i pretty much beg for him to start the weining process and start lowering me and he pretty much refuses. After months of being on 32mgs a day he finally started tapering me down slowly, i never really thought any thing of it till now but i realized he's keeping me on the suboxne for as long as posible so that he can get my $200.00 a month. all he is, is a legal drug dealer bc now im highly addicted to the suboxone. I recently had to go a few days with out my suboxone bc i didnt have the money to see him and i went through hell. i thought methadone withdrawl was bad OMG there is no comparison. i wanted to either use which i havent done in years or rip my face off lol its funny now but it definatley wasnt funny a few days ago while i was feeling that way! So i spoke to a good friend whos going through the same thing and he told me that they just came out with a new pill to get you off suboxone. I just want to know if that's true. I tryed googleing it but i cant find any thing. If you have heard of this new pill please respond or if you even have a good way to get off soboxone as painless and posible... thanx

@Jjr4643: Tramadol is a narcotic. Your body basically turns it into codeine. I'm not arguing with your advice - Tramadol can help a lot with WD's - as long as you don't become addicted to it. It also works as a type of SSRI or anti-depressant. Another helpful med for WD's is Clonidine. It helps with the RLS and general bad feelings.

my nephew is on suboxone, he took one pill and 15 minutes later he sounded like he was drunk and had a mouth full of marbles. he didn't know he sounded so bad. has anyone experienced this side effect?
sorry I don't know his dosage but he hasn't been on it too long so I imagine it's a high dose.

To help u out ma'am I'm in the military and they do things a little different the problem with posts like this is most people only find them if they are in the same needs that u are. The way the government contributes to helping get their soldiers off of what they got them addicted to (mostly post (multiple)surgery pain killer addiction) is by giving suboxone for a maximum of 6 months then ur sol if u can't be good then. Now I'm gonna tell u of something to take and this might be your wonder ddrug its called tramadol. This is a nonnarcotic drug that has to be prescribed for pain by a doctr. If u can get some tramadol take it at a low dose for about a week and then if u need to take no more than 2mg of suboxone for up to three days folowing ..max. the tramadol works on the same receptors however it is not an opiate god bless I know your pain sometimes u have to grab life,and fate by the balls and beat its ass right back like it did to u.we are all strong enough to overcome this addiction..this disease.. and live amazing happy lives with the people we love . I know its hard to find the strength sometime but its there somewhere,trust me..you just have to find it. Good luck

I've been on suboxone for close to 3 years! AND attended the same FDA seminar that docs do for certification and their DEA Sub #. DEA has warned dr's NO ONE is to take more than 3 8 mg per day, they have cracked down hard, sending out every sub doc a letter informing them individual evals will be done.... without appt. Where the DEA will sift through ALL patient files and personal info! If a dr is found in violation, he will loose sub priviledges. I Started at 3 /8mgs per day, then after 6 mo down to 2/ 8 mg per day. Because I was pregnant, my ob and sub doc didn't advise lowering my dose until my daughter was born, the risk of relapse was too high and more dangerous. Suboxone is also used as a maintenance program not just for immediate detox! Dose should be lowered evey other month at the MOST! Until u settle on the lowest dose possible and thats your maintence dose (ex: 4 mg per day, 2 mg per day). The other med is subutex..... both are harder to detox from than any opiod, but risks are less, risk of od is less, risk of physical damage is less. Its the less of 2 evils game. Sorry! There's nothing specific to help u kick sub's besides in-patient detox!

suboxin is a opiate blocker that should be takin 24 hours after your last pill or bag, it blocks the receptors in your brain so you dont feel like a bag of crap. the doctors not trying to get your money, too truly stop the drugs and not go threw crazy withdrawals from sub's is to do wat the doctor says, your surpose to be on it for at least 6 months so he can ween you down and it also gives you time to get everything else out your system. my doctor said if you want it to work the right way is to first, you gotta wanna stop so the mental isnt that bad, then you need to listen to the doctors order and the withdrawal isnt that bad if you do, its like one day of being uncomfortable, remember you gotta wanna stop, it really is a dream come true before sub's it was metadone forr the rest of you life. good luck too all

No, I have not heard of any such pill. It would not make any sense, either, since the whole point of Suboxone is to help beat drug addiction.

The normal procedure is to taper a patient off of it, very slowly to help minimize the worst of the withdrawal effects.

Have you talked to your doctor about your desire to stop? Or tried a different doctor?

omg i had the worst time coming off subxn and my doctor was just like yours and kept me on it for 3 years! One day on my own i decided to quit taking them because it was SO expensive and i hated going to the doctor every month. I called and said I was coming off and had the worst withdrawl of my life and he put me on Tramadol for a few weeks which helped alot. It still tooks months until I felt somewhat normal. If there is a pill for coming off subxn i am really interested, because i'm back on suboxone again and want to come off! I know, i really could have been fine and miserable without them but I was very depressed and went back on them because my doctor was all too eager in percribing them to me again.
