Be careful, a length of time should not be used to determine induction of subs. The Buprenorphine is the partial agonist, the naltrexone does nothing, when used as prescribed. A woman had precipitated withdrawal after waiting 48 hrs after last methadone dose. Google COWS scale and start a new thread for yourself. Please get more info before using subs. This sounds like your a last resort, I want it to work. I used subs to get I'd methadone, private message me if you want. You can do this, but some of your info is not correct. Keep posting .
but if it doesn't work and i get energy, not feel fat, lazy, sweaty, exhausted LAZY, i will give up codeine in a heartbeat, I think! I am excited for this change, I have tried everything, ibogaine, you name it to end up upset. So I really hope I feel better on subs!
i dont know, i was surprised, maybe cause they are weak, also there is subutex and suboxone, one i know doesn't contain the what is it called, um, naltrexone! Which ingredient that causes the withdrawal making subs either partial of full agonist/antagonist? But still i have to wait 48 hrs plus to transfer from methadone, i also asked pharmacists and he said yes as well, which was the huge deal of not switching a wile ago because i was sure i wouldn't be able to take the codeine! Maybe because i have been with them so long, they no obviously i don't abuse percs or harder opiates so they trust me i know that, I worry, if one was ever in an accident, then what would happen, i.e. pain control?
and yes all the while feel lazy, fat, sweating like a pig, i look sickly, bones, teeth hurt, I hope to God I have energy, right now I feel like a lazy wife to my husband and I hate methadone. Thank you Henry for light at the end!
This thread is pretty old. I'm not sure these members are still checking in on the forum. Good luck to you. Oh, and I don't really understand when you say the pharmacist tells you you can take subs AND an opiate at the same time? I'm pretty sure that's not right. Folks use subs to get off the opiate. This makes no sense to me. But again, I wish you good luck!
ummm, i hate to say it but i agree, quitting methadone whether cold turkey, or weaning, if you are able to even get out of bed, still take care of two yr. old, clean your house........!There is no way i wanted to shower or brush my teeth, my house is dicusting, i haven't showered in days, I am never like this and not even really in withdrawal ye, but have been for months and then again for 2 years as mentioned, with no desire to live life at all, totally depressed! Eat, you need a days sleep, and you need support right now big time!
