Suboxone withdrawls

[terri1289]

I need help. My daughter has been on suboxone since July. Every month or so she has "withdrawls" vomiting etc for several days. I think she takes about two tabs a day or less. Why the vomiting?

Thank you all so much, finally someone to talk to. She is asleep in bed from 3 days of vomiting. She was in rehab last year shortly after getting out she started again and got a dui. In july we took her to get on suboxone maintenece as the rehab didn't do that. I would love to get her on this forum but, she already knows everything, if you know what i mean. I would like to get the links to the real suboxone sites since most of them seem to be advertisements. So i would say she is still using,and needs to want to stop completely. I will look into the book becuase you know that i am sick and tired myself.

Your likely right... maybe not giving her that much in advance would help a bit? She's so young - could you encourage her to come to this forum? I'm 24 and my doc was heroin as well - I've been on sub since April 07 and away from dope. If you could get her to come to this forum I'd love to chat with her.

It's dangerous enough that she needs to stop... I don't want to tell you something that might not be true, so please google suboxone and get more info. I have tons of links to site about sub if you'd like me to PM them to you.

you may be able to help by having her committed, but thats reaching, i was commintted a million and one times to expensive tx centers and i just wasnt ready
and if she refuses to quit pot, theres nothing anyone can do except plant the seed
now you can find this seed at na
you can take her there, even if she is high
let her hear what it takes to recover, i went to my first aa meeting when i was a teen, and i got that seed planted, then when i was ready to get clean, i went back on my own
and i would not be doing you any favors by leaving this out, YOU need help, addiction is a family disease, my mom became so sick over my addiction, she needed alonon
there is also a great book called "no more letting go"
http://www.nomorelettinggo.com/
they should have a copy at the local library, get you some help, give your daughter an option by exposing her to na, then leave it in her hands, there is only so much we can do for people, and mental illness like addiction is something the actual patient has to work on, there is no known medical cure the most widley excepted tx is 12 step recovery

how dangerous is it for her to be using heroin and taking suboxone at the same time?

[terri1289]

She is almost 20. She has to stay in school for ins benefits to help cover all this. She doesn't/won't work, and we do not give her money. I suspect she is selling her "extra" suboxones/valium/zanax, which i only give her a week's worth at a time.

Don't feel stupid at all! We as addicts are generally big liars regardless, so don't beat yourself up about any of it. I don't think pot would cause wds as it's not an opiate, and I don't know what kind of interaction that may have with the sub. She'll only stop if she wants to and no medication in the world will make her want to. How old is she?
