ambien and suboxone

Guest over a year ago

I just started sub and seems to me you taking a lot of it... I'm a week in and only taking a 1/3 of an 8 mg a day.. I have heard that some DR's start people off really high.. I have Ambien and scared to take with sub's.. I have been hooked on meds for 7 years. Taking up to 25-30 hydro's a day.. was also taking Oxy60s.. and oxycodone 15s.. I'm feeling good trying to be off subs in 60-90 days.

Hi, you should be more specific with your instructions man. You are correct that if you take Suboxone for too long you will become dependent on it and if you abruptly stop taking it your withdrawals will be twice as bad as heroin or even Opana withdrawal. So yes you need to taper your dose until you can comfortably jump off. What I generally do is once I'm past 24 hours from my last dose of opiates is start out with 2-2.5 mg Suboxone and taper down 0.25 or 1/4 mg every 3 days until I get down to my last days 0.25 mg then I will take 2 mg as my final dose and stop. The last 2 mg makes it a whole lot easier to jump in the end due to it's half-life. I hope this is a little more explanatory.

Oh my yes you are so so right I did the same thing took 2 Ambien to go to bed ended up driving my truck down a mountain in the state of Maine in the middle of the winter crashing it into a cabin and my truck stop just before I went into the river got out got the truck home and myself and have no memory of it till my daughter came home and seen the vehicle and came in and asked me what I had done and I had no memory of it. She look at my bottle to see how many I had taken and I am taking the rest of the bottle not remembering it at all. So yes Ambien will make you lose your memory and do things you would normally never do or end up in jail.

Most ridiculous comment ever!! Why were u taking .25 every 3 days? Subs only last 24 so there’s absolutely no point in basically starting back up 3 days later. Also and even more ridiculous,why would u Supposedly be down to only .25 mg every 3 days and then jump back up to 2 mg for your last dose? Is that like going out with a bang or something? Or are u just trying to sabotage yourself and everyone you give "advice" to?

Good job bro. You’re lucky. lol. I can mentally make myself sick on top of actually being sick. I was taking Fentanyl and Vicodin for like 11 years. I had a bad doctor after injuring my back and he put me on way too much. Basically anything I asked for. I was hit by a drunk driver in 2005 and broke and herniated some discs in my back and neck. The Fentanyl is a patch that you’re supposed to wear and they last 3 days. I was EATING ONE A DAY!! Would put the gel in my lip like dip. Completely ridiculous. Now I’ve been off of them for almost a year and am still feeling sick as hell. I’m sure much of it is mental but feels the same regardless. U add in how much my back hurts from my injuries and it becomes impossible! I sleep for 10 minute intervals because my legs hurt so much. I’m exhausted. My dr just prescribed me Cymbalta and now I’m reading that I can’t take it with the Suboxone that I can’t quit for some reason. When I initially quit I started off a champ. Dr told me to take three 8mg subs a day! I only took half of one the 1st day. Then a quarter everyday for a week. Then I lowered to only an eighth of one per day,but have been stuck there ever since. I take Ambien now and still can't stay asleep! I’ve tried melatonin too. Okay sorry. This was my horrible rant and I apologize. I’m just soooo stuck that I’ve started to think of some dark alternatives

Jeepers bro. That’s not good. They end up harder than opiates in my opinion

I don’t know if it’s officially considered safe but I have been taking both for at least a year. I take the 10 mg Ambiens
