Anyone have any real knowlege with suboxon ???

I've heard suboxone is better than most opioids.

An 8mg and 2 2mg strips? They don't make 10mg strips.
I don't think 12mg/day will hold you if you've been doing 2 100ug/h patches a day. Try it and adjust up. Wait until you've been sick for a few hours to take the first dose or it can make it worse. If it does work try to taper down to less than 8mg/day ASAP as the side effects get much worse with higher doses.

Either you're extremely sensitive to the Zanaflex orthe bupe is working. Good luck!

I've been on suboxone for 5 years. I started on 24mg / day and still take 12 a day now. You might want to tell your doc you need more if you feel it's not working, seems like a low dose to me for what you were taking. They do work, I haven't used in the 5 years I've been on them but now I feel like I am never going to be able to get off them. I guess it beats the alternative though...PM me if you want.

I found that back in the day the methodone was harder to kick than the heroin, but letting this get ahold of me after not shooting up for over 25yrs. I felt I needed to do something cause this asinine use has just been the past yr, before that it was just 10 a day at once & I was good but it took me almost 20 yrs to get to that point. But gonna c if this helps me cut down on my use cause it damn sure does nothing for my pain & I cant wait 3 months to get another crop harvested the way our apt complex keeps getting raided & Im the door they always want to kick open.

Bupe will block the effects of other opioids because it blocks them from binding to the mu receptor. It's probably the biggest drawback it has.

Im on 16mgs of suboxon dailyif u cant kick ur dope habit w subs u dont wanna kick it....subs trump any other opiates...period...I have buddies who trade their subs for dope...but they dont really get hi n theyre only cheating themselves...subs will and can get u off dope...its all up to u....they WILL take away all wd's and give u energy wthin themselves...subs got me off dope and methadone.

Its a deadly game we have choosen that's for sure, & as they say once a junkie always a junkie. I guess I just need to say F it because I actually got hooked in south east asia & never really got over it & was just secretly trying to justify it by saying its from all the steel holding me together, but in all truths I just like to get high. But thanks for all the real help & advice.

Dont give up n say fk it bro...its much easier to live a productive life on somthing like suboxon...its hard to b nlrmal when ur fkn w real dope....I say u go the sub route n just ride that for a while...

Best of luck tyedye. I saw subs work for some people. It can work for you.

Suboxone definitely worked for me. Ive been on it for three years . My life changed for the better as soon as I started taking it. I could deal with shit without worrying about getting sick. Didnt have to spend so much time and money on scoring.

I had been worried about coming off it though because Id heard people saying its impossible and youre hooked for life when youre on it long term (sub). Ive tapered from 12mg down to 8 over the last month and it hasnt been bad at all. Even if it gets tough on the last few steps and the final jump is hard, I think its doable. Ive been reading the subox forum and some people say its not too bad.

Good Luck, I hope it works out for you.

I had an almost painless experience coming off subs with a slow taper. I cut the dose by 1/4 every 10 days.

He might be talking about the 12 mg strips. They make them but they are less common than the 8mg i think.
Maybe they are 10 and 2, not sure.
.

I'd forgotten about those.
