I have had about 8 surgeries in the past few years and have become addictied to pain killers. I have now been on suboxone for a few weeks and am doing fine with it. I get some bad headaches and feel "off" sometimes, but I know that I am much better this way than on the pain killers. None of my doctors know of this situation and I have to have a major surgery in a few weeks and dont want to mess up what I have worked so hard for. Does anyone out there have any ideas on what is best to do? My friend that I get the suboxone from said that it is a pain killer and if I take the suboxone with Motrin 800 I should be fine. Any ideas would be great... I dont want to take the pain killers and have to start this all over agian. I can get Ultram... will that make any difference with the pain? or with my progress with the suboxone?
Please help... any advise is welcomed %-)

I sincerely hope that you did not go into surgery without your doctor and especially the Anesthesiologist not knowing what you are taking. My understanding is that suboxone is not easily detected. I hope that it showed up in your pre-surgical blood work. This is a really dangerous decision to make. There could be drugs that you will be give that will conflict with the suboxone. Please make them aware of it if you haven't had the surgery yet. You are taking a risk if you don't. Please let me know what's going on with you now. How are you?

Please be carefull suboxone is not the greatest pain killer in fact it came from a drug known as temgesic then they made subutex from it buy adding naltrexone with the opiate. suboxone is subutex with more naltrexone the reason being many addicts prescribed subutex injected it so the drug company made suboxone which theoretically makes more chance of withdrawals if injected. if you dont tell what extra pain meds you are taking then when they decide what to give you it may not be enough,good kuck
