Long taper (2 years) This week I took .25mg on Monday. Then a kratom extract beverage on Wednesday. I have been suffering from severe cervical herniation that affects arm, trap and shoulder which makes work and sleep almost like climbing Everest. I needed to get through the day.

I feel like complete physical shit now. It also doesn't help that I got the Covid booster and Flu shot on Thursday AND im doing allergy shots twice a week.

Main symptoms are tightness in the head, extreme fatigue (had to give up in the middle of working out), lightheadness, headache.

I realize that these could be from my neck, the shots, the booster....but can taking subs once and kratom once make someone experience withdrawal 4 months out?

So for people that are afraid of teeth decay issues, have you tried rectal administration? If so, did it have side effects long term? Burning, bad gas, pain, etc? I feel like they need to come up with something better than those shit films. Anyone use patches? Do they work similar to oral?

I always have a lot of extra strips left over every month but since I have to return all of the open/empty packages, any advice on how to properly store the left over strips?

So I’ve been on blue 30s for 2 years. I recently got arrested and suffered withdrawals in jail and was inducted into the MAT program while incarcerated for 2 weeks. They started me on 24mgs. I continued treatment for 3 weeks but recently relapsed on 30s and haven’t been taking my suboxone at all. I haven’t dozed in about a week. I just woke up sweating and out of place and tried doing a 30. It didn’t work. So I tried taking a tiny piece of suboxone to see if that’ll work. I’m so lost and I don’t know what to do. Please hell me. I’m having a headache and my body feels hot.

Every drop in dose even under 20% I definitely feel my doctor says I shouldn’t feel any WD until 2MG an under but I definitely do. Is this normal or am I the only one. Like I’ve got off subs four different times now and every time when we start tapering I feel every drop under 4-5 MG. Is there anyway I can prevent this.

I took 8mg started sweating crazy. I just took another 2mg. When will I feel better? Coming off pure h3roin

About ten years ago suboxone strips helped me get off heroin and oxys. I actually loved taking it because a tiny amount would make me feel really good all day.

Now I’ve been trying to get off kratom, and I’m using suboxone again to help and I feel….nothing? Do they make the strips different or something? I was shocked I literally feel nothing. And I still kinda want to use. It’s so strange.

I’ve only tried them a couple times so far going back and forth using. Is it possible it doesn’t work if you swallow your saliva while absorbing it?

I get massive anxiety when I stop using heroin. I always had anxiety but it's gotten way worse now since I was always treating it with heroin. I know suboxone doesn't get you high so I'm afraid the anxiety is going to stay. I haven't taken heroin in 18 hours now, I don't feel too bad physically yet, but I will tonight. Which is probably when I'll take my first sub. Not sure if I should wait longer until WDs are really bad so I will feel relived when the sub quicks in therefor reducing my anxiety.

So I’m on 8mg/2mg Suboxone and naloxone strips, and if the naloxone is supposed to block opioid receptors, why is it that I can do a kratom shot like OPMS black and still feel its effects? If kratom clings to the same receptors wouldn’t the naloxone block it? This may be a stupid question in some people’s opinion but I just need a few answers please…

so i've been on suboxone for about 8 years and im down to about .25 and I tried to jump and I cannot take the restless legs. I have full body rls so im going to back up to where I was and slowly taper. does anyone have a taper schedule on how they came off this little bit including how many days u stayed at a dose and then how much u reduced after stabilizing? I just wanna be done with this shit. I hate myself for ever taking it. these drs have no f'n clue about subs and withdrawal. most will say u can jump from 2 and be totally fine. this is why I asked here. thank you!

So basically i just got released from jail, before jail i was using street subs (as intended, for a 2 and a half year Roxy addiction, so I wouldn't have to wake up and get high to live life) I tried MAT at jail, they said no opiates in my system so they couldnt put me on subs which obviously is because I was in for like 6 days beforehand the first lady said a date I would start my dose

I've been on street subs for 60/70 days prior to this to correctly treat this , I have to test multiple times so this would be a good thing, I need my subs, I haven't went to the bathroom in like 11 days and my stomach is killing me right now and I know this is of course why,

I just don't want to go to QuickMD and they deny me after paying, and then after the weekend when a clinic opens I go there , and its looking like I'm seeking, I don't use these for a high I only use them to treat my addiction. I went through detox in jail but like I said I'm still having stomach and bathroom issues and with testing I do really need my subs,

If I go on QuickMD do I tell them I was just released? Do I tell them how there wasnt opiates found since they waited so long? Say they try not to give me it and I go to a clinic I know that 100p will, will I get denied there for seeking?

It's pretty late now here and I know they run 24 and I know 24 pharmacies, any response would be greatly appreciated as I really need to go do this ASAP. Thanks to everyone in advance.

I can't get off of it. My entire life revolves around this drug. If i dont take it i will get sick. im starting to think thats what needs to happen. I am so depressed thinking about how this drug controls my life. I just want to have a normal life.

It seems damn near impossble. im on 2-4 mg a day. yesterday i took 2 and today im back up to 3 and craving more. at this point i should just get back on dope.

eff suboxone.

and the comfort meds, idk they dont help. i just want to jump. im so scared. i think i need to jump. this is the perfefct time to do it. no job. nothing to lose. just go for it.

My husband is in recovery, on Buprenorphine for the last 5+ years and has since gone to law school and started a career as an attorney. Unfortunately the firm he works for does not offer life insurance coverage and my work only does so with a health exam.

In searching for term life insurance online we keep hitting dead ends after clicking that he is under treatment for drug addiction and has used nicotine products within the last 12 months. Has anyone had success, if so with what company and what are you paying for what coverage at what age? Thank you in advance!

I'm having on and off panic attacks for literal months now other than that everything about my dose is fine keep in mind it only happens when I lay down to sleep they're not that bad recently I did used to take benzos and I developed panic attacks originally from kratom and then benzos on a regular basis, but I got better and they stopped.

Eventually I started taking opioids codeine, tramadol, odsmt, oxycontin/oxycodone, heroin and odsmt occasionally. Traditional opiod withdrawals from say codeine, oxy and h never gave me panic attacks a little anxiety but nothing like benzos or lyrica. However I noticed I got anxiety and panic attacks badly from synthetic opiates like tramadol, ODSMT and now I'm making a link with subs when I would taper it was imo worse than oxy withdrawals originally I got down to 0.5mgs and just started oxy and h again and tapered with them h at first because of my tolerance and then again with oxy because of the longer half life I was clean for about a week and relapsed on oxy due to a delivery delay.

Now I'm on subs again and they have given me my life back but my doctor mentioned tapering today or starting to and I just don't want to I really don't feel ready I will relapse I'm sure even though my cravings are extremely mild and almost non existent I know the moment I stop and get an idea I will be able to feel oxy again theres a possibility between the panic attacks, stress and long withdrawals I'll relapse I'm certain if I do agree to come off it will be with the shot I tried three times myself to taper with espranor and relapsed everytime because of these reasons so I'm wondering if it's common for subs to cause panic attacks as it wears off, I haven't even told my doctor I made the connection based on if I sleep earlier or with my gf they just don't seem to happen I guess part is in my head based on the fact it doesn't happen when I'm not alone.

This is in regards to the dental/tooth decay issues. Again, apologies if this question gets asked all the time, this is my first time in this subreddit. And I don’t want to come off as one of those idiots that is looking for a get-rich-quick scheme.

I’ll try to keep this somewhat brief:

-I started taking Suboxone back in 2019, and have basically been taking it daily since then, in film form. Also FWIW, I’ve only taken painkillers, nothing harder/no needles.

-I have never really been too diligent with taking care of my teeth. I’m not sure when the last time I went to the dentist prior to starting suboxone. I went to the dentist in 2021 and had to get a root canal. I was told I also had a few cavities, which didn’t get addressed.

-I didn’t go to the dentist again until summer 2024. I have multiple chipped teeth, two of which will need to be pulled. I also have somewhere between 10-12 cavities total, which I’m still working on.

If anyone’s read up to this point, thank you, I really appreciate it. Like I said, I only JUST learned about the class action lawsuit. I googled it and found a few law firms online that advertise work on this class action lawsuit. I reached out to them to inquire about moving further. But in the mean time I’m very curious about other people’s experiences with this, and whether or not it is worth me actively pursuing.

Thanks!!

I’ve got knee surgery in a week, trying hard to get healthy and get off Kratom. Just got a prescription for the generic suboxone and a refill on my Tramedol for knee. Last dose of Kratom was 24 hours ago. Will I get a negative interaction with the Tramedol & Suboxone? My knee is massive locus of pain, but I don’t wanna be spun out on kratom before surgery. Any insight is welcome.

I finally made the switch to 1mg of suboxone from kratom extracts. I was spending $1500-2100 a month on extracts, and it was destroying me financially. Since the half life of kratom is so short (1-3 hrs) they’re impossible to taper so I decided to use suboxone to do a rapid taper. My plan is to do a 7 day taper and jump from there. If it gets too uncomfortable after 7 days, I’ll get on sublocade. I’m so happy I did this, and I don’t have to worry about walking in a smoke shop and spending so much money. These past 3 years have wrecked me financially and I’ve spent way too much money. I wish I would’ve done this sooner but with all the negative information getting passed around about suboxone in other subs I was hesitant to do it. I probably wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t find out about sublocade so I’m glad I joined this forum. Thank you to those who responded to my questions.

Hope you guys are doing well and if anyone is on extracts and is hesitant about going on suboxone, just DM me. The extracts aren’t worth it.

I got a tip a while back that $AQST was going to do really well. (They make suboxone).

I bought at like $2.50 a share, and now it’s at $5.53.

Price target for 1 year from now is $9.56.

Analysts predict it trend between $10 and $15.

So potentially a 170% gain!!!!

I’ve already doubled my money. It’s not too late to get in.

Sure being ON suboxone kind of sucks, but knowing how much it helps, and how many addicts are out there, I think AQST will do well and we might as well own shares in our own addiction and make some cash right??

Mainly I’m commenting cuz I’m really curious to know if I’m the only suboxone patient that owns shares in suboxone.

Hey everyone. I just became aware of this lawsuit. Hasn't even been 24 hrs and I have mixed feelings. On one hand I am angry. On the other hand I have some relief because i had that 'Eureka!' Moment because i finally know what the hell happened to my teeth!! I have No doubt that my dental records will prove that I went from having the occasional cavity to every dental health problem possible. So here i am researching this to learn about the process. I have no idea how many lawfirms are handling this but it appears there are plenty. 40% seems to be the going rate. The settlement estimates right now are low and btw if it goes to trial it'll be more like 1million. I'm thinking about using Robert King Law Firm out of New York. Someone far away from here in Arkansas, who I know has experience with these big lawsuits. Anyways, I just wanted to meet some of you guys and to say you're not alone! ;)

Who else is in the same stage of the process as I am? We can share knowledge we discover here

I work a job where I am on my feet all day. I have my sub appointment tomorrow afternoon and will be in withdrawal before I get there. The appointment is an hour away from my job and the idea of rushing back to work and not even being able to fill the script is already giving me anxiety. Not to mention, my mental health is absolutely shot right now. I’ve e never felt more depressed in my life. I want to call out of work without them knowing what I am dealing with but I am a horrible liar. I know this is a weird question, but it does have to do with suboxone in a way.

I took a small bump of the stuff this evening amongst pot and beer. this shit is a bummer dude. like i just wanna go to sleep. why do ppl mess with this stuff willingly... damn
I feel like i been swimming in a pool full of chlorine and my eyes LOOL I donno just wanted to put that out there.
Cheers.

I have been feeling extreme fatigue for over a year now. More like 2 years. So I mentioned this to my doctor but at that time I had just lost my wife, mother, and brother all only 5 months apart. So the doc thought depression. I can't stand antidepressants but I started them anyway. Took myself off after about 6 months. Long story short my testosterone levels were so low that they were almost non existent. A male my age should be around 300, mine was at 25! The doctor said opiate use as well as suboxone causes this, though he has not ever seen them as low as mine. Just something people should keep an eye on. I hope this works and makes me feel better!

So I've been on Suboxone for 11 years, since I started I've been at the same pharmacy. Just got word that they are closing that location at the end of this year 😢 With my insurance our deductible is $3200 which we meet in January after one procedure. So then the rest of the year, all of our appointments and medication is free. Well I haven't had to pay for my meds, I've been getting name brand Suboxone with no issues. Yesterday I had switched to a different pharmacy instead of waiting to the end, and left scrambling. It was hell!! First, he kept telling me that he would be penalized for giving me name brand, instead of generic?? What?? I said I have my claims here and can show you that is what I've been getting with no cost. Then he tried telling me I'd have to pay $60 for one, and like $44 for the other!! Why? We've reached our deductible in January, you know the very first month the plan resets, so I only have to pay full cost that month. He then says well our pharmacy is losing $20 by doing this!! Like sir, you are an in network with my insurance, my doctor wrote my prescription the same he has every other month, what's the issue? Oh, and my doctor has never wrote me a prescription for Narcan either, but he gave me one with my doctors name on it!! Sorry if this is all jumbled, I was so confused! Plus, I've been looking on my claims site, and still don't see where he ran it through my insurance either. So then what did he run it through?

I took a half of tramadol (25mg) 10 hours ago and took kratom extract 6 hours ago. I’m a bit concerned about PW. I’m going to take .5-1mg of suboxone.

Would 0.50mg be enough buprenorphine for an opioid naive person with little to no prior opioid use be enough to feel something? If so, would it be pleasant, too much, too little? In other words, what’s a good amount of someone to try to feel a nice buzz if they don’t use opioids? If you were gonna share a piece of your strip with a straight edge goody two shoes friend, how much would you give him/her?

I work for a company who doesn’t care about addiction or mental health (at least from what I’ve seen with other employees). They just want you to show up and play the part. I am hurting mentally, emotionally, and physically from bouncing back and forth from suboxone to other substance. I have a sub appointment tomorrow and I just want to call out of work without giving details, but even saying I’m sick they will require a doctor note. I don’t want to have to give them a note from the suboxone clinic.

So I was getting subs basically $10 script a month from my doc and insurance but now I’m insurance has expired what’s my best route to getting them now ?

Real heroin (China white) SEA #4. How long?

To preface this I’ve been off opiates for a month. I went to rehab recently for my opiate addiction and was not taking suboxone (other than the initial taper). When I got out recently though I had intense cravings still and felt a relapse coming if I didn’t do something. Subutex helped me tremendously during the taper and was taking 4-8 mg doses with no issues with throwing up or sickness during the withdrawls ( I know it’s not technically suboxone but I assume they are very chemically similar) I got a prescription for suboxone a couple days ago and threw up a few hours into taking suboxone.

Do you think it’s normal just because I’ve been off opiates for 30 days and took 4 mg if suboxone. I don’t throw up a lot but I feel like the feeling has been coming on and off. For the first couple hours I felt amazing and could tell that this was probably the right medication for me. No cravings at all and I felt really solid and grounded and sober. So I would like to still be able to continue it lol.
