Just to clarify : my Dr has me on 2mg four times a day along with the max dose of Suboxone of 32mg a day. Sorry for the confusion….

Hi everyone! This is my first post on this site,.and I just need some opinions. I have been on Suboxone for about a year. I also have been diagnosed with agoraphobia, severe generalized anxiety disorder and suffer from severe panic attacks. My opiate of choice was oxycodone 10/325. My sister overdosed on those along with a whole lot of Benzos. My problem is Suboxone makes my anxiety so bad that my Dr is also prescribing me Klonopin 2 32mg mg four times a day! Along with 32mg day of Suboxone I am a bit worried that I’m on too much. My question is : does anyone else out there have to have a high dose of a Benzo along with the max dose of Suboxone?

I have taken suboxone in the past to get off roxys. I bought 3 8Mg strips. I took 1 the first day the second i cut 1in half and did half the second day and half the 3rd day. I did the same thing day 4 and by day 5 i no longer needed the last half. I stayed clean a couple months and went back to the opiates. This time i switched to hydromorphone (dilaudid). Ive bren back on them for over a year. Now i bought 2 strips and 2 pills. I did my last 2 pills last night, woke up early for a job interview and took a whole strip. After my interview, i went to town and boight another k8 (dilaudid). NOTE. i took the suboxone around 9 or 930 am. Anyways, i come home and wait and wait some more deeply regreting taking the suboxone because i wanted that k8 in my veins soooo bad. Finally, at about quarter to 5, just a few minutes ago, i couldnt take it anymore, hence “addicted”, so i put 1/2 of my little peice of heaven into my spoon, drawed it up and did it. I got a rush, although not as strong as usual, it worked. I am 130 lbs, 5’5″ and the suboxone has been in my system for roughly 8 hours. I dont know if my experience can give anyone clarity, but i dont feel sick and i DO feel the opiates. Im struggling with my addiction because its hard work finding pills sometimes. I know i will get off them…again, but living in THE pill mill state, its only a matter of time before i will be back to playin arm darts after i get clean. Btw F%#k FLORIDA! moving to Florida is what got me addicted in the first place, and yes i, know i should relocate but unless your putting money in my pocket, i think you should leave those opinions to yourselves. Thank you, and i hope this helps someone.

Wo wo to Dennis at the top of the page. No disrespect but definitely shouldn’t be saying it’s ok to take suboxen right after opiates. You have obviously never experienced precipitated withdrawal. It is the absolute worst. When you are in pw you rather have someone cut off your fingers.. It’s withdrawal at 100 mph.. Definitely do not take suboxen less than 24 hours preceeding opiates or you,ll be in a nightmare you can’t wake up from. Not sure if your habit just isn’t that big maybe but definite no no I can tell you that.

i have a problem, my problem is i have been taking suboxone for a year, im on 12mg a day, im so thankful to not be out trying to score everyday and i have a whole new life. im just not able to function because im so depressed, i cant stand it, ive gained sixty pounds, i have constant head aches and im always “sick” or just feeling down..i know its depression. im edgy all the time and cant even enjoy my kids. i tell my dr who has no bed side manner at all and he just prescribes anit depressants which for me just makes me crazy. i want to be put on the subutex. i was reading someones post about how aweful they felt on suboxone and they went to taking subutex and got their life back and i cried..i bawled and bawled reading their message because i feel hopeless. i used to run three miles a day and now i dont enjoy running, dont enjoy sex, i dont enjoy life period..mainly because i never ever feel well…ive tried quitting suboxone..that didnt work because i felt miserable there too. its a no win situation..i hate myself for getting into this situaiton…anyone have any ideas? my doctor wont even talk to me..if i start taking subutex on the sly will it show up in my drug test? and how long should i wait before switching from suboxone to subutex? will i withdrawal if i switch right away?

Not bragging when I say this information but I would like to point out some flaws I’ve found with suboxone. I’ve been addicted to 10mg / 650 lortabs for about 3 years (physically addicted that is), and I started taking suboxone. I can do well on suboxone but suboxone without a benzo is nothing so when I run out of my benzo’s i usually fall off. Anyways, I’ve taken hydrocodone with suboxone and suboxone after taking a handfull of hydrocodone, and when I take hydrocodone after taking a suboxone I feel them, and when I take a sub after taking a handful of codone I don’t go into withdrawal. I don’t know about other people but me and everyone I know are like this. So it’s either we’re a weird case or all that crap about it being a high binder is bullcrap. Cause they use to say the same thing about Methadone and I proved that wrong also years ago. Naloxone
