  • Buprenorphine in the Rear-view Mirror • 2 months and 2 days since last dose

    Note: you can read how I quit cold turkey after 15 years of daily use in another post, and the first update at 6 weeks. Body still adjusting, but it’s getting better and better! I do still miss them, at certain times, but those feelings are […]

  • Misc. Suboxone Issues • Re: Metabolizing buprenorphine too quickly

    A couple of things could be going on here.Perhaps because of practicing abstinence based recovery, you're coming from the angle of "less is better" in terms of dose. I understand this as I did it myself for a long time. I've also had issues with […]

  • Buprenorphine Q and A • Re: Buprenorphine w/out naloxone

    That is actually surprising he did that. I've been trying to get my doctor to give me the straight generic buprenorphine for years but he refuses. The small amount of naloxone does nothing and won't hurt you. Most all doctors were told to […]

  • Buprenorphine Q and A • Buprenorphine w/out naloxone

    So I’ve been on 8-2 buprenorphine naloxone for a year now and I just picked my Rx up for the month and it looked different and I read the label and it’s just straight buprenorphine. Any idea why my dr would do that? What’s the […]

  • My Addiction Story • Re: My addiction story

    Congratulations on taking the first step. It seems your doctor is going about it backwards. Most of us started on a high dose which completely stopped the withdrawals and then we tapered down fairly quickly to a manageable dose. My doctor over […]

  • My Addiction Story • Re: My addiction story

    My story may be a bit different from most of the posts here. I am a 68 year old retired heavy equipment operator at an open pit coal mine in Wyoming. I have have 4 back surgeries of which 2 failed. I have had a fusion and a back stimulator […]

  • Misc. Suboxone Issues • Re: Metabolizing buprenorphine too quickly

    As you probably already know, buprenorphine has a ceiling effect. It's either 8 or 16mgs. A quick search here will tell you. Once you have hit the ceiling, you're wasting the medication. When you hit the ceiling, it takes around 36 or so hours […]

  • Misc. Suboxone Issues • Re: Metabolizing buprenorphine too quickly

    Sorry, I should have mentioned I do take zyprexa for sleep, 5mg. I also continue to take clonidine, .3mg a day, to help with these interdose withdrawals and for sleep. The zyprexa and clonidine do help, but when I wake up in the middle of the night […]

  • Misc. Suboxone Issues • Re: Metabolizing buprenorphine too quickly

    Yours is a very troubling story and not one I feel competent to comment on. Being on 1-2 mg's daily myself it is always enough and I never feel withdrawal. The only time I did was when I forgot to dose on a day I took 1mg and by the evening my […]

  • Misc. Suboxone Issues • Metabolizing buprenorphine too quickly

    I have a long backstory, like many I'm sure. I will try to keep it to the pertinent points. Please forgive the length.I'm 41. In my early twenties I used opioids recreationally. In my mid-twenties I was put on buprenorphine and temazepam (a benzo). […]

    I hope you don't mind if I chime in. I fear that doing so sometimes interferes with discussion, but I also don't know if many people are still following the forum. The site was down for a couple weeks... I've mentioned that I'm no computer […]

  • Misc. Suboxone Issues • Ingesting Suboxone Film with a high tolerance…Also, splitting the film into 4mg and 2mg pieces

    So, I’d like for this topic to focus on two main things.A couple quick questions I have, that I’d like to get some other users opinion on.The first, very simple. Do you take the full 8mg amount? Or do you find yourself splitting the film into […]

  • Buprenorphine in the Rear-view Mirror • Re: 6 weeks off after 15+ years

    Congratulations on a job well done! Being an opiate user for decades changes the way we think. It will take time to adjust to not having it in your life just like any other habit. When I quit smoking it sure took a long time to not think about […]
