how long does methadone stay in the body. Why won't suboxon

Well for starters you are wrong because there is major withdrawels from suboxone if u are on it long enough then quit u get wicked dope sick i know this because here is my story i was on bupes for about a year then i got arrested for getting into a fight somethign so dubm and random but they said i had a knife and it was actulaly my cell phone anyways long story short i went to jail for a month before i could fight it out in court and that month i was so dope sick in jail the suboxone withdrawels never ended i swear and the few times i got a little piece in jail i got high as a kite and they woudlnt give them to u in jail wich sucks. So then i got out and was doign great got back on my bupes and then bamm i get a collapsed lung well dont u know im in the hospital getting tons of surgerys and i now have stopped taking my suboxone obviously and they are feeding me with opiates well sh*t im an addict and all i have to say is im in pain and they keep upping my dose and giving me more pills and shots well at one point in the hospital i was up to 8 mg of dilaudid pills every 2 hours 20mg or percocet every 3 hours and A pca push button IV dilaudid every 8 mins and a shot or morphine when needed well lets just say i was feeling awesome and using all my pain meds every time i could on the exact hour i was allowed then figured out how to save my push button doses up so i could do them all at once i would unscrew my iv and save the doses in a cap then i sucked it up with a iv syringe and shot myself up in the hospital and instantly nodded out anyways when i left they were giving me 34 dilaudid 4s a day that is alot and i was shooting those up so the thing is when u are on suboxone for a long period of time u do not get ghigh at all u just feel normal well now i was gettign high on dilaudids and didnt want to go back so i kept getting more and more scriptsand they kept giving them to no questions i felt like i was dreaming cause i never thought i could get so many strong pain meds for free and as much as i wanted and ones i could shoot up anyways so i went to the doctors yesterday to tell him my dialudid wasnt cutting it anymore and asked him to up the dose and he just all of a sudden put me on methadone but started me on only 30 mg a day but the thing is i got super fcking high all day long then today i took only 20 mgs just to see what would happen and it feels like i got even ghigher so what is goign on do they start u off low when u start methadone then raise up your doses to a higher dose then go back down? cause i def like this methadone better than the suboxone but only cause i feel really good and relaxed anyways let me know if anyone knows how they work it my friends say that im lucky because my doctor just put me on methadone and that i didnt have to go to some clinic to get my dose every single day i just get like 3 weeks worth at a time but i also get pills and not the liquid like they do

Hey I used to be on Suburban & my husband is still there. I am trying to convince him to go on Suboxone.

Hi , I'm gonna be honest . My probation officer tests for methadone because I was at a methadone clinic and she decided she was against it , she doesn't believe it works for people and that was it , she detoxed me and im in constant pain , and she tests for it in my urine tests , I really need to know from someone who knows > HOW LONG DOES LIQUID METHADONE STAY IN YOUR URINE ??? I really need an honest and ligitimate answer and it seems no one knows , can someone help me !!
_AFFLICTED!

In this you said that if anyone wants information on where and how you did the one day detox to let you know. Can you please let me know how to do this. I never touched a pain pill until about 2 years ago after they had found a brain tumor and had to do brain surgery and the pain was unbearable and so there i was. Now it seems like there's no hope of getting off them. I mean they're medically prescribed but i can't go without them and i hate it. I've seen what it does to ppl and relationships and i just want off of them and back to the way I was. I also have other medical conditions which they say i'll have to take pain medication the rest of my life but i honestly believe i would rather deal with the everyday aches and pains then this. It's horrible. If there is a thing where it can be done in one day please let me know. I just want my life back.

ok for all the people who cant sleep on withdrawls, smoke some reefer! I am addicted to oxycontin, vics, morphine, and get bottles of liquid lortab all the time and when i run out for the month and feel horrible ill go buy some weed and wow it makes me feel good again. Some people have to realize that marijuana is only here to help and not hurt anyone so lets pray its legalized soon.

drug addict here.

I'm 19 and in college, going to school to be a nurse. I started taking methadone about 2 years ago with my boyfriend just for recreation use. I didn't realize until about 6 months ago that I was actually getting addicted. generally i was just taking one 10mg pill a day. The methadone gives me motivation and energy to study and do well in school. My boyfriend got on suboxone, but he's not taking it because it just doesn't do it for him...or me. Its like a dirty high, I don't feel good like I do off the methadone. The worst part of the withdrawl from me is the fact that I don't have the energy and I don't feel like superman like i do when I am on the methadone. Darvoset really helps me with the withdrawl symptoms, it doesn't really get me junked out it just makes the withdrawl symptoms go away. I am really trying to get my life back together...because the methadone is tearing me apart. I suggest taking Darvoset to wen you off the methadone. I can relate to all of out there. I'm currently just trying to take the dravoset to get through my days. And sleeping is the worst. I used to sleep like a baby. and NOW it takes effort to sleep at night. I love my boyfriend...but he is weaker than i am, and i know that. But I find keeping busy and being with positive people, like family and close friends helps! and its even harder because no one around me including my family and friends knows that im addicted.

Kind of helps to write out what im going through!

I was at 130 mgs daily methadone and those of you, us know what a degrading feeling it is going to a clinic daily or even 1-3 times per wk well I typed in google METHADONE AND NUTRITION and found the answer look for DPEG when the page comes up I have been going down 30 ms every 5 days with very minimal withdrawals. the site tells you what this c**p does to your brain and what nutrients and amino acids and protiens to buy it cost me close to 300 dollars to buy everything separately but it works. go to gnc where you get the second bottle at half price I bought 2 of everything thats why it cost so much, but it works I am now at 40mgs and going down. Its kind of expensive but no more methadone for me it is worth it. Clinics don't believe in anything because they want to make money most doctors know nothing about nutrition except the one who posted the site I found Good luck to all

that is such BULL SH** that you have "no choice" but to use dope/herion . ive been on methadone for 2 years for being an i.v. dope user for 6 years before getting onto meth and getting clean. anyway, im going through a rapid detox- i was on 140 mg. two weeks ago. my last dose was 5 mg.- on sunday. today is tuesday. i have not used. WTF way to be positive. dont you know that ppl not familar w methadone that may be detoxing may be reading this and saying OMG i cant do this withdrawal w/out shooting up or sniffing dope or whatever drug they use...and they could overdose or really f*** their lives up... i was scared as hell to detox tooafter everyones half exagerated b./s horrorstories...thats why i was on the program so long. but i did and im okay!!!!!!!! its the flu. if you take vitamins, meds to sleep , try to dstay positive, go to meetings or groups or a therapist w/e, try to walk or exercise, drink lotsa water and tea, use melatoninto sleep....even try acupuncture or get a massage, use heating pads, take many baths, surround yourself w. positive ppl and not ppl who, in my case, tried to scare me into staying on meth. bc they were jealous or just like to tell war stories or whatevr(including my counselor ), you CAN DO IT W/OUT HERION. i mean come on go to a detox clinic or a hospital if it is unbearable1!!!!!! go to your doctor! dont use dopeeee !!! i kinow if i used dope right now, i wouldnt stop till god knows what happens. ive seen this bull so many times ..... the first thought or physical sign of uncomfort they say "I HAVE TO USE I MUST USE". no you don't . youjr not gonna die from this withdrawal. youll die from being a dumbass and going out there and shooting dope . that is just your inner addict trying to kick your as*. PLEASE anyone who is withdrawaling--- you do not need to do THIS. talk to someone who can encourage you positively. haha this girl tried to scare me into buying her drugs sat. .nice sales pitch " you are gonna be soo so so so sick omg ewhat are you going toi do??!!?!?!!?! by the way, im selling 10 mg. methadone pills 3 $ a pop" F*********THAT. anyone who wants to talk about how it aint that bad and hear that you CAN DO THIS it is sooo psychological... if you go onto these forums its all negative whiney sh*t. thats why i swore i wouldnt at first but now i wanna try and tell ppl its okay. you can aim me at skullgrownroses if you want some POSITIVE advice and feedback...peace and please stay safe...

With suboxone, it just depends on who you are; meaning; how your body chemistry is; and how it responds to the the suboxone. Suboxone is not for me. Methadone maintains me. I haven't used an illegal drug ever since being on methadone; and I'm proud of that. I think people should think twice before switching; because methadone is more powerful, has more of a half-life, staying in your body longer than any other treatment drug. So if something does happen and you miss a dose, you will survive it much easier than a missed dose of heroin. MANY PEOPLE RESPOND WELL TO SUBOXONE, BUT SOME DONT. METHADONE WORKS BETTER FOR ME; AND ITS CHEAPER. FOR THOSE WHO ARE TAKING SUBOXONE; TILT YOUR HEAD SLIGHTLY FORWARD WHILE IT DISSOLVES UNDER YOUR TONGUE FOR BEST RESULTS.

I went from taking 4 80mg OC's to 8-10 mg of methadone a day. and after the 5th day I was clean as a whistle and waking without the withdrawals. This is after 3 years of a high dosage of daily opiates. What are these Dr's doing to you guys? Take the smallest amount necessary. Start small and slowly work up until you feel right. Then after 3-4 days. see what happens when you don't take any. All your body needs is to get that junk out of your system. But the Dr's would rather keep you on the juice.

Really? Why would you take subone then start takin pills again? Not trying to judge- just understand......ive taken pills for many of years, and i made the choice to stop....did the suboxone and stopped. My doc said you had to be in the BEGINNINGS of withdrawls before starting the suboxone, or you do go into withdrawls...the first 3 days with suboxone was still not wonderful and sunny by any means. But i didnt get vomitting, the chills, feel like your heart is going to beat right out of your chest.......no, had NONE of those lovely withdrawls. But i was hazzy and lazy. Over all its been a great experience as i would NEVER want to withdrawl in the raw! I wouldnt think going back and forth would be good for you though.......suboxone/ oxy's/ methadone etc....hope this answers something for someone. Thanks.

i was on methadone for about 14years and i decided to swich to suboxone.i just had my second dose which was 8mg.yesterday was agony for me and so is today.the cramps in my legs and back is terrible.i havent used herion for about 7or8 years and right now i want to.the nurses at my clinic said i would feel fine today but its BS.ill give it 1 more day of suboxone if i dont feel a bit better im going back on methadone.if i had come down to 1/2 a mill of done then jumped off i would have been fine.i was told because of being on such a small dose of done i would be ok.dont belive what your told at the methadone clinic.man im angrey.

:-( I havent seen any recent posts on here. This is my story....a couple of years after having my tubal done...thats when it started. I almost always felt like i was pms-ing...pressure, bad backaches, sore breasts, fatigue, general ickiness and also mood swings from hell. Everyone kept complaining that i was always pre-menstrual...because i would feel that way and say i was. I might have 5 good days out of a month. So i came down with a sinus infection and felt pms so i went to the doctor. She said i had pmdd, which is pre menstrual dysphoric disorder....its like pms-ing on steroids and then some. She gave me a sample of sarafem, which worked great for the mood changes but not really for the pain. I tried to deal with the pain a long time even after that and never did like taking loratabs because they made me sick but it got to the point when i just needed some relief. So, i forced myself to be able to take a half of 10mg tab and that worked so for maybe almost a year...i would get a few when i was feeling my worse. After awhile, i liked the "good feeling" i got from them so i started taking them even when i could have went without...addiction kicks in, sadly. Honestly, i never took a whole tab at once (unless I felt like i was dying from pain) until March 2009. I started a job where i was on my feet for at least 8 hours a day and doing some physical activities my body wasnt prepared for.....it spiraled fast after that. I really wanted to get away from them and did not feel confident at all going cold turkey so i started taking methadone. I only tried it here and there for awhile but it seemed so much better than tabs because it didnt take near as many. After awhile, i was taking methadone pills everyday. Now i kept telling myself i did not want to get hooked on them but, inevitably, i have. I was on average taking 40mg day...not at the clinic either. Last saturday, i started a cold turkey kick the habit and am failing miserably. The 3rd day is when it really set in...the withdrawals. The cold and hot sweats, feeling feverish, restlessness, body hurting soo bad (esp. my back), not sleeping, irritability, diarrhea, loss of appetite (i consider that the only PLUS)....it was horrible. I have always been an active person, i cant stand to feel this way everyday and not know when it will go away!! I caved....i got 3 pills and took them over the last couple of days. I really want to kick this!!! My family has been very supportive and i feel like such a failure....they dont know i got those 3. :-( Im scared....i feel bad about myself in every way. I am already starting to feel withdrawals again. My back hurts right now, i feel a little chilled and have no energy again. Im writing this just hoping for some encouraging words....maybe some helpful suggestions? Im going to try and find a doctor that i can trust to go to and talk about this....that could be a situation. I once went to a doctor about anxiety attacks i was having but at the time i didnt know what was wrong with me and he treated me like i was a junkie there to get pills and that was LONG before i ever would take pills. My throat used to voluntarily close at the thought of even a motrin going down.....that doctor traumatized me from trusting doctors!!! If anyone is out there to listen or talk....im kinda freaking out at the thought of having to feel the way i did 3 days ago!!! :'(

:o Hey I don't how old this is but my suggestion to you is to contact a doctor about suboxone or subutex there the same thing just different manufactures. I have taken them both and they do work there are a few issues of withdrawls and that is what happened to you. If your coming off methadone you have to be down at least 30 mgs and wait at least 3 three days nothing or it will throw you into violent withdrawls. Same goes for pills and herion, although it's not days without your drug it's suggested 16 hours, however I would wait 24 to be on the safe side. Lets face it we have all been through withdrawls and nothings worst then methadone and even herion but thats short. Personally I saw do it. I feel like s... right now cause I must of taking it taken it too soon, but waiting it out. I feel for you I strt scool tomorrow 7 hrs there and then to work for 8. We made this choice in our lives and we are the only ones who can fix it!!!!

Suboxone is a complete Opiate blocker. So if you have opiates (Heroin) in your system and take suboxone the withdrawal will typically set in rapidly. 45mins to an hour. They recommend going 4 days opiate abstinent prior to starting a Suboxone regimen. This is why you felt worse after taking the Suboxone.
