[@UpRM6Enrique]

Doctor , I have always been told that I should not take xuboxon with xanax but it is the only way that I feel 100% well.I've been like this for many years, I know it can give a respiratory arrest,but I used heroin with cocaine plus all the other substances that appeared, so I have a HIGH TOLERANCE TO DRUGS.I only use 0.5 mg of xanax. What could you tell me Dr.? I know it shouldn't be done but nothing has happened to me, the fentanyl did give me multiple overdoses but many and the truth is that I prefer to be like this and not risk dying from the other.Thanks for the information and I would really like to know if there are exemptions like mine, take Xubo plus 0.5 mg xanax?

[@B_Bodziak]

At 8:40, you said the naloxone in Suboxone doesn't block the opioids, but I had dental surgery on both sides of my mouth and the dentist gave me 8 tablets of lortab or Lorcet and I did not have any euphoria from them while taking the Suboxone at the same time.

[@ChristinaFarish]

Dr. B MY husband and I have been on 16 mgs of suboxone for 18 months now. It has saved our marriage, our relationship with family, we've saved so much money. Our doctor is fantastic. I appreciate the encouraging words for people that may not understand it ok to take this medication and realize it helps SO MANY family's. God Bless

[@MisfitsGuideToTheGalaxy]

Knowing that Fent makes it so u may have to wait 2 to 5 days to start subs is going to makes starting a nightmare to most. It's essentially stopping cold turkey to then get on subs. Regulation has pushed us into a place where everything is fent now and it led us to this place.

[@DonaldPrizwan]

​@@Chronickoyour lucky friend. Most people I talk to find fent has caused us to get sick much much quicker, but have to wait to take subs much much longer. Yes, it's better than 7 days cold turkey. But 5 years ago getting on subs used to be relatively smooth. Now, it's 16 hours of full w/ds and that's not counting how long it takes to get that sick... 24+ minimum. Bac in the day, I could take subs in 16 hours from last use no problem.

I accidentally overdosed on methadone and almost died. I had been on methadone for 10 years at 80 mg a day. I came off because I thought I was ready so my doctor weaned me off and it took a year. I didn't know that later on down the road the cravings came. So I was buying off the street. I didn't think anything about it so I took 8 methadone (my usual dose from day 1) any I went unconscious because I was on gabapentin too. I had taken 2400 mg of gabapentin right before. I went unconscious and the next day my sis found me foamed at the mouth and unresponsive. I was on life support for a week. I had aspirated my vomit. I was just a mess. I don't remember any of this. The docs thought I would be nothing more than a 4 year old if I was able to come out of it. Well thank God I am completely normal. I am now going to a Suboxone clinic and it has saved my life. It is working for me great and I go to therapy and everything.

I keep getting sick I started doing the bernese method and everytime I get to the full 8 mg is throwing me in to bad withdrawal.

I am doing bicycle heath. Can u help me. The only thing I can think of is my herion having methadone in it. I have been on suboxone before and it never did this which I was using just pain pills then. And now it's herion. Please I really want this to work. It's not talked about the herion being laced with methadone fentynal and even meth. Can u shed light on this topic.and what I can do to help me from going into preticapted withdrawal. And only happens when I reach 8mg. I start dosing at.25 and work my way up to the 8 while using. Over a 7 day period time. I scared I am going to die if I keep doing the dope. As many of my friends and own mother have already passed away because of fentynal being in it

[@ai2851]

Taper with real pills for 4 to 5 days use gabapentin during and after last day of Taper it will give you 24hr before you induct suboxone. Good luck! You got this!! Lyrica works also instead gabapentin

[@gristamshackleford2102]

even though dr B talks bad about them i would say use kratom and gabapentin. they are miracles when it comes to withdrawls.....careful with the kratom its easy to take too much and get nausea. if i had kratom and gabapentin 20 years ago i probably would of had a better life. (i wouldnt of had to overtake xanax to try to get thru withdrawls and embarrass myself at work and get fired from a few jobs)

why isn't there a straight answer on how to start suboxone...nobody really explains it thoroughly

[@gristamshackleford2102]

he did. its just so different for each person

[@Killmaisy]

Because it differs depending on the method. The bernese method is one way, and the other way is to stop all opiates/street fent until you are in WD and score at least a 17 on the cows test, then you can make the jump to subs, and titrate up to a dose that works. It is addictive after a week, so research. I ramped up and down and off in 5 days and am ok. Research everywhere you can

[@ChristinaFarish]

You have to wait before taking it for 24 + hours . Or you will have precipitated withdrawals !! Which are horrible. After you take it all the opiates will start to come out of your body. Within an hour ypu should feel much better. Good luck 🙏

If you haven't already go and talk to your Dr. and they will be able to direct you to the relevant services, even if they cannot treat or prescribe for you themselves.

That is good but I was more referring to the OP that there are many Drs. and orgs. in his home country that can and will help him rather than him trying to contact a clinic (via a very expensive phonecall) on the other side of the world that, as far as I am aware, can not help unless he emigrates to the US.
