There is no linear equation between buprenorphine and full agonists such as the Oxycodone you referenced. Sure, 1mg buprenorphine may be roughly equivalent to 20mg Oxycodone, 2mg buprenorphine may be equivalent to 40mg oxycodone and 4mg buprenorphine may be equivalent to 60mg Oxycodone. But that’s where the opioid effects of buprenorphine begin to diminish. Buprenorphine is a PARTIAL-agonist with a ceiling effect on opioid effects whereas oxycodone, methadone, heroin, morphine, fentanyl are all agonists with no ceiling effect on opioid effect; so though 4mg of buprenorphine is roughly equivalent to 60mg oxycodone, 6mg of buprenorphine is also equivalent to 60mg, 16mg buprenorphine is also equivalent to 60mg Oxycodone and 32mg buprenorphine is equivalent to 60mg oxycodone. Once the cieling of buprenorphine’s effect is reached, there is no going above it!

I would like to buy a small security camera so I can monitor my home (indoor) when I’m away in a different state. I already have Skype and a camera hooked up an am online. I do not leave my computer on 24/7; I shut it off at night. What all do I need? can I use the camera I have now or do I need to buy a ‘security’ camera?

You gotta ration those subs sometimes. Or make a stockpile by taking less then prescribed for worse case scenarios such as this. Sub withdraw is mainly anxiety for me for the first 48. Then it creeps into withdraw by day 3. : ‘ ( I wish you the best of luck. And don’t pop hot for that hydro cough syrup!

lol amy! (blocks pepperspray from Tinydancer!) Is that you in the pic? If so, you remind me of a princess out of a fairtytale story.
: )

Will, it’s a picture from my wedding day so I guess you could say I was a princess for that day.

Tndb– I’m so sorry! This thread is like an accident in slow motion. I totally agree with Will. You need to ration and build up a stock pile for the real emergencies like this one. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this.

Hey guys a update

I got my first week day take home today holding it in my hands now and it feels so good knowing I accomplished this status at the clinic. It’s just nice knowing the Dr approved it my counselor made sure the Dr was aware of how good I’m doing and so fourth. Also I finally have a set plan in place for what I’m doing with my education but ill type that up tomm or the next day. I just wanted to share the good news.

Oh Great, Thanks Will for putting that little bit of info for my vampire to salivate over. You say if I take 200 mg’s I’ll feel it, right? That was not what I was hoping to hear. My Dr. said two would work well and that’s 100 mg’s. If I do what you did then it’s abuse and I might as well toss out the meds. Funny how I don’t feel two of them.

I know you were trying to help and thanks for that. The topic was posted so I could read everyone’s opinion. I just didn’t think one of them would cause a craving. Not a bad one, and not one I’ll act on. If I can’t feel 2, then my guess is I wouldn’t feel 4. And yes you’re correct Amy. As long as I can take them as prescribed then it shouldn’t be a problem.

The tram subject really hasn’t been discussed very much here and I do wonder how many other opiate addicts are taking it. Five years ago I went cold turkey off my Norco’s. Started going back to AA meetings hoping it would help relieve the cravings. It didn’t. But I did run into another alkie/addict like myself and he told me his doctor gave him Ultram and it works really good. I didn’t have the heart to tell him they are addicting too so he went on his merry way. That’s my point. Is this a drug that a lot of us can use in combo with Bup?

I will do my very best not to abuse my meds. So far I have only taken two once per day. It says to take 1 or 2 every 4-6 hours so IMO I’m doing pretty good……until Will said that!!! Nah, it’s okay. We’ll see how it goes in the long term.

Thanks for the responses my friends.
