My friend was on morphine for 16yrs & was then switched to suboxone for treatment of "chronic pain". I have read on a website that Patients with a clinical need for analgesia should not be transferred to a SUBOXONE regimen. SUBOXONE is not indicated for pain management. I read his medical notes a Dr & Physcologist said they thought his symptoms were physcosamatic & he had "early physcosis". Basically the notes indicate that he just kept saying he had pain & no medical reason was found & they put him morphine. Another dr trf him to Subutex 5yrs ago. His family said he was selling half his medication (when he was on subutex). He does seem out of it a lot - do these medications give you a high if you don't really have pain?

I don't smoke , I have tried it when younger and never liked it. My sister is 27 yrs. Old and pregnant with her 2 daughter. She never smoked during her first pregnancy but she has used heroin about 2 years ago on and off for about a year. She has been clean since march when she found out she was pregnant, we are extremely proud of her abstinence, but most of all her choice to take this step in the right directio,and also the bravery to tell us, and have the proof that she has been cleaned since she was the one that took the steps to be clean and is drug tested every week, and is actually back to the person we knew with her job and school and things like that. The problem is that she can't stop smoking! And the doctor advised her not to use any over the counter stuff just to quit!!! She says that she feels like smoking after taking subutex which is what she is on and will be on until about 2 months after baby is born... has anyone smoked during their pregnancy? Was the child affected? Was the baby ok? I don't mean to sound ignorant but I just don't know anyone who smoked during pregnancy... also I am asking because at the 29th week checkup the baby was a little underweight and now the doctor wants another ultrasound just to watch out for growth? Has this happened 2 anyone? Pls answere and thank you in advance.. also want to say that she has only 2 months 2 go is there anything she could do to make the baby stronger? Anything she should eat? Etc...

I know suboxo ne has pretty much taken over. But does anyone currently, or know someone that is currently getting prescribed Subutex. Again, NOT SUBOXONE, Subutex, without the naloxone. Thank you

I'm not referring to dehydration and overheating. That is NOT my situation! I've stopped sweating or sweat so little I don't notice it. I used to take regular doses of Suboxone, which is supposed to help with opioid addictions (I think that means heroin, morphine, etc). I am NOT addicted to those drugs and never have been. My shrink prescribed it after other drugs failed to help me with other, non-drug related issues or addictions. My Dr retired a couple years ago and I tried weaning off the drug. I've taken REAL small doses of the drug over the last couple years and am now down to about 4 or 5 mg and am taking tiny amounts every few days. I started snorting the Suboxone as the supply dwindled because it's more efficient than taking it sublingually and would help strecth out my weaning period. That's the theory anyway. Needless to say, its been VERY tough for me to quit, basically because of withdrawals and because of it simply being difficult not having the affects of the drug help me cope with life in general. Well, I noticed a few days ago that I'm not sweating! Thinking back on it, this condition may have existed months ago. I know that Suboxone has an affect on the sympathetic nervous system (SNS)(fight-or-flight) and some have said Suboxone makes them sweat more. This seems counter-intuitive, sense if Suboxone relaxes your SNS, youd think you'd sweat less! Anyway, for whatever reason, I'm not sweating anymore or maybe I am just a tiny tiny bit on my stomach and private area. Then again, that barely perceptible moisture might simply be atmospheric condensation, who knows. Thank you for any and all input! And yes, I'm going to see a doctor, I just want others' inputs. P.S. I haven't taken any Suboxone in several days and while my body temp feels weird, with flashes of heat here and there and with some occasional coolnesses, though much less common, mentally I'm feeling halfway decent.

and just the other day my friend gave me a pill that his doctor has been prescribing him. it is called suboxone or subutex i cant remember he mentioned both names it was an orange pill with a cross on one side of it. anyways. im wandering if i can get these prescribed to me by just seeing a regular doctor or do I have to see a specialist? because i tell you it made me feel like I had nothing wrong with me. no withdrawals or anythign i felt normal for once. and it did not get me high just made me feel human again. but after I took that pill i felt better for about a day and now im back on feeling like not getting out of bed and just wanting to use again. i dont want to get back into that lifestyle. somoene pls post with some info. thanks i started out using because i was being prescribed oxycontin for an injury i had from a car accident. after a year the doc took me off them cold. i am from eastern ky so i understood the reason he took me off them. so i went to street drugs to relieve the pain. but now its pretty much i have little pain and alot of withdraw. i dont know what to do. i am from an area that drug abuse is so bad that people that really need them cant even get them. and it costs too much to get into a clinic. its ridiculous. i cant afford this all i can do it just deal with it and eventually it will be over i hope

I've been weaning off Suboxone for a good little while. I noticed recently that I'm no longer sweating! I know that the use of Suboxone has been reported to increase sweating, but I've not heard that withdrawals can decrease sweating. I'm NOT dehydrated and I am going to see a doctor. I'd just like some of your input in the meantime. Thanks P.S. I posted this question earlier today, but more in depth, if you'd like to answer or refer to it as well. BTW, I've never been addicted to opioids. I was prescribed Suboxone for anxiety, etc. I was on about 12 mgs a day for maybe 3 years and have been weaning off it for about 2+ years. I've been weaning so long because I had quite a few left when my Dr retired and have been taking very small amounts.

I am 10 weeks pregnant. I have been on suboxone for almost a year. because of it being so expensive,my husband goes to the doctor and we both take his, one-half a day. When i found out i was pregnant, i did some research on-line and found it was safer to take subutex. I told my husband to tell the doctor to switch him, which he did. I went to my first OB appt. Monday and told them i was on subutex. now that i have read all these comments i'm scared that i will get in trouble for not having a prescription. What am i going to do now?

Now, I write. Random stuff. Care to tell me what you think bout it? The link below is a link to my Notes on facebook, that's where I usually post the scraps. http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?id=523702754&start=20&hash=91bd59d682fb9aaa632f787a68f5d94f#/notes.php?id=523702754 If you haven't got facebook, here's a sample of the notes: Eternal Genesis A dying sun burns away As the wind blows astray Carrying a fulfilling loneliness, The higher being's companion Who seeks redemption Finding nothing save everlasting emptiness Shadowed by a darkness eternal Plaguing the cursed immortal Upon this hill Overlooking their graves The air above their tombstones so still One of immortality's slaves Evil sheathed in these veins Bound by immortality's chains Blood that simply won't clot Flesh and bones which rot not A wish left unfulfilled: For the freedom I seeketh Lies in naught but death ==================================== Echo Treading down this soggy lane Pins and needles prodding his foggy brain This is not just another nightmare For this is where he was stripped bare Missing links in the memories flooding The photographic kaleidoscope keeps on playing Stringing together the hazy stills Amnesia or side-effects of those pills? Groggy, he walks with that swagger Longing to steady for a breather A chill creeping down his spine Ruling the land of the blind This strange voice in his head Different from the usual threat This looming menace aiming for the zenith Tormenting the dormant that crawl beneath This is a fragment of his visions, His hallucinations, his schizophrenic conversations ==================================== Requiem In matters of the heart I indulge not, For mine was crushed and left to rot By a Maiden who I admire By that Lady who left me sinking in this quagmire I cursed myself for loving her My nemesis, the heart-slayer Now, slumped in a corner I'm awaiting the reaper My wrists slashed, my limp body I'm itching to cease to be Noticing my reflection in the window pane Seeing my face was blue Like the blood running down the drain, I was finally through! ================================ Al Capone's lullaby You can be the love of a punk You, my little skunk You're synonymous to my subutex The haze at the apex The ecstasy during sex You've been my valium That substitute of the pauper's rum I'll keep on consuming you Till your senses are so blurred That your words get slurred You're the neighbour's poppy seed The bitch of no breed Morphing you to cocaine and heroin You'll satisfy my cravin' I am what morphine is to pain The endorphine injected in your brain These hands, white with opium The song of death, I hum I am the merchant of pleasure And you'll need me forever For I possess all that you treasure =============================== Lost & Found I believed I had a heart Before we grew apart It then felt like an aneurysm With some unexplainable mechanism Denying that I was forsaken Not understanding that I was broken I just went on Not realising I couldn't hold on My feelings gone rancid My veins, a haven for acid In my chest, shadows feast Scary thoughts, dreamless sleep Left in a forest so deep, How can anyone not turn in a beast? And so, I believe I no longer have a heart Beneath my ribs, demons lurk The aneurysm did its work I am now a piece of art... ====================== Ascension It's been so long Covering these miles of deserted plains Alone all along Failing over and over again To find someone to whom she'd belong Wishing she could break free from sanity Wanting to flee from this anomaly Coz the other side is more tempting than this reality She's still walking that desolate road Her soles have run thin Her feet tired from bleedin' Ridding herself of that needless load Feelings and strings in Life's bin She's slipping away from sanity Coz the other side is better than this reality Yeah, she is breaking free She is finally conversing with nature Experiencing happiness and pleasure This utopia is where she's found solace It's her own little haven Wiping off that last tear from her face Slowing down her plasma's pace And she falls in a haze She has broken free Ready to flee Yes! This road she chose is insanity Coz it's better than your reality =============================== Memo Sitting on my window sill Watching the dance of the snow flakes Looking outside at the frozen lakes Thinking about all the blood I wanna spill The bloodlust is more powerful than ever It's getting harder to keep it abay I feel my innocence peeling away My soul crying a river Sitting on my window sill Watching my misty breath Huddled in a corner, awaiting death My hands are red from my kill =============================== Tribute to my kind! Geeks of the world! Hear my
