I got this about suboxone.Check this whether I am correct:
buprenorphine is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic pain (pain that has outlasted its use to prevent injury and after three months) or for peri-operative analgesiaBuprenorphine (Subutex) itself binds more strongly to receptors in the brain than do other opioids, making it more difficult for opioids (or opiates) to react when buprenorphine is in the system. The blockade effect also has the result of blocking endogenous endorphins from binding to receptors, which can lead to psychological alterations in mood and mental capacity. This can cause cognitive and memory deficiencies via blockade of the reward system, which is pertinent to memory formation and normal mental function. [Citation Needed]

I have 4 of the 75mg Lyrica and 5 Ultrams (tramadol) in the house as well as maybe 5 or 6 of the 1.0 clonodines.
So far, one clonodine hasn’t done anything at all. I just took one Lyrica. Will the Ultram work on the resltess legs/chills/yawning?
I’m really hating myself right now. I have a little boy who just wants me to play and I can’t even function! The chills are the worst! The temp here is 16 with snow, so that doesn’t help.
How can I space out what I do have on hand to get through the next few days?

My Suboxone doctor made me take a drug test which I complied to seeing as I’ve done it many times for other sub doctors and did it once for him when I used to go to his office the year before. I’ve never had to pay a dime, and the last time I peed for said doctor he didnt send it to a lab. The doctor NEVER told me that I would be getting billed for the urinalyisis and never told me that the insurance I use for his visits (Cigna) does not cover Millenium Labs Urine Screens. If I was even told that I’d have to pay for it from the beginning I probably would of either checked the lab on our coverage list or just left. I signed a consent form and that was it, I peed and he sealed it and put the stamp on. No exppanation at all about anything. Now I’m being billed almost a thousand dollars for "lab work". What can I do right now?

Hello,
My name is Mary and I have been addicted to valium and vicodin for over 22 years. I am presently withdrawing again and this time I am really afraid. I am 59 and worried that I will not make it this time. This time around I was taking 4-5 10mg of valium and 4-5 10/325 of hydrocodone. I am weaning myself off and am presently miserable. I am not certain about Suboxone and am afraid of getting addicted to it as well. Right now I am at 2 1/2 10 mg valium per day and 1 1/2 10/325 vicodin a day. Worried that I am going to fast..not sleeping and very upset with myself. I found this post as someone thought that I might try Suboxone to help me. After reading about it, it seems to be for opiate addiction only and not to aid in the withdrawals of valium. Could someone please help me with this. Does it help with valium withdrawal as well? I have been to treatment on numerous occasions but this time I HOPE that I mean it. I have never wanted to get serious like I do now. I am worried that I have damaged my brain and will never be employable again. Afraid that I will end up homeless. Currently afraid to drive and I cannot think..it is even hard to type this. I would love any thoughts that anyone might have. PLEASE! Thanks for reading and I hope to hear back from someone.

Mary

I read the article that Dr. Junig posted about the high relapse rate with younger aged patients and found it extremely interesting. It also isn’t something that surprises me too much because there is potentially more people that are experimenting with drugs that may cause a trigger in someone may be in recovery. Preparing yourself for these things is so important for somebody who chooses to go off suboxone. For some people it doesn’t matter how much you prepare but if you sincerely don’t want to stay sober and use then that’s a choice that has been made prior to actually relapsing. This is a reason why I think so many younger people relapse. They think they can still use and get sober later, but in reality it becomes worse and worse like indigochild said.

That sounds like a really good system in order to find a proper you feel comfortable on. I commonly read people’s posts on here about taking a dose under 6mg, which my doctor says a daily dosage that is under 12mg isn’t safe, so I wasn’t sure if 16mg sounded consistent or too high. I’m assuming those people are either tapering or that’s their only option.

indigochild and johnboy, I easily could have gone, and was on, the same path as you described and have lost everything I had and everyone that was important in my life. I still know plenty of people who are on the road to losing everything. Getting sober just isn’t a popular thing to do in people who want to live a party lifestyle. I am just glad that I have reached the point I have and the people in my life that have helped me get there.

Thanks everyone for your opinion and taking interest in my post. I greatly appreciate it!

Hello……
I’ve not been on here for months. I’ve re-read thought this thread i started and honestly things are pretty much the same as they were. I am still not giving up on giving up though. Rome wasn’t built in a day and all that. I still see my keyworker – although only once every month or so, and my prescriptions just get sent automatically to the chemist and i go there twice a week to collect. I am all over the place with my Suboxone because I am still using gear as well. It is a mess and I am not proud. Feel like a failure and that you guys must think I am takling the piss or that I don’t really want to quit. But i do want to be clean i just don’t know if I’ll get there. I get paid monthly, and i have mentioned before how the money burns holes in my pockets. So I think the only reason why I’ve not had any gear in over a week is because I have had no bloody money to buy any. And so I take my Suboxone and each day I feel physically better and i say to myself ‘see caz, you can do this. look how much better you feel, no hassle or sickness getting up and going to work in the mornings. keep going like this and you’ll be fine’. and then PAYDAY!! whoop come on lets go score!! why? why the fuck? then it starts over again – before i know it its 10 days back on the gear and pretty much all disposable income gone. again. and i tell myself every month that this has to stop, it can’t go on like this. but it does and i don’t know how to change it.
