suboxone with alcohol

One more thing for all the people taking suboxone.  More is not better.  16mg doesn't do any more then 4mg does.

I went from taking 20mg a day to take 4mg a day and was fine (after a year of use).  Less is always better.  I still get the minor buzz with the 4mg just like I did with the 20mg.

Im on 8mg a day i divide the dose because the subs seem to give me a minor energy boost.  I drink every night quite heavily and have no problems.

I drank alcohol on suboxone, fell asleep and my respitory system shut down. I was young. It isn't a joke, it is a no go, in my experience. I almost died...

"Although, i really want to be completely clean & sober" "ALCOHOL IS A DRUG" I hear a lot of people say that they are clean and sober while taking Subs why is that? If you are taking suboxone you are anything but sober.

Suboxone is horrible on the thyroid gland. Your thyroid regulates body temperature and also has to do with sexual function and balancing your pituitary gland.

I drink about 80 ounces of beer a night while i am on suboxone and i feel no ill effects at all!

Hey kid, or what ever age you are, suboxone don't really work if you snort it, I have tried when I just didn't want to be dope sick, and also to try and get a high, IT DON'T WORK!!!! You may have been experiencing the "placebo" effects, the mind is really a scary thing to undermine!!! Read up and just know opiates r awesome if they were not ILLEAGAL, but they r and they make the user do things they never would if not inflUenced by the withdrawals and "NEED" of the drug. Just please don't get more involved with opiates and if you r now please seek help, please do!!! I have lost 2 children, I wasn't able to see my father or family when he was in a coma from a motorcycle accident, I lost everything, I REALLY DID!!! I was living on the streets of Fitchburg with not a friend or anyone for that matter, and then I met some people who We're using but didn't want to be and they saw the good in me. Thru all the dope, crack, booze, and whatever else I could use, they saw me in them and vice versa, and proud to say we r drug free today, I still drink she does nothing I am now going thru and trying to slowly detox from booze now, so please head my warning if you need to talk more or need advice or just some one to call when your down and need support I am your girl for it. Please recreation can easily turn into addiction, I know first hand, take care and may your god, faith, belief, or whatever you use to aid you be with you always! There's something bigger than us but no one is wrong our faith is ours and I believe in them all!!

Wow that's pathetic. U think blacking out being the norm for u is cool or something? Get help...

Wanted to put it's out there. I take 6mg of sub and have tried drinking with it. two drinks and I'm ok but still a bit nauseous. Anymore andi'm barfing night and day. Horrible hangover, sweats and spewing. Approach with caution!!

We also mix more stuff into it though but i say never do it

Hi... I'm new to this site and was just about to ask a question myself when I ran across this post. I'll tell more about myself and my story when I ask my question but, to answer yours, I've been on suboxone for close to six years now. I'm not a heavy drinker but, over the past six years, I have definitely had a few nights when I drank more than I should have. You can drink and get drunk while on suboxone... from what I know and through experience, it doesn't block the alcohol receptors... only the opiate receptors. What I have heard though is that the alcohol will weaken the strength of the suboxone so, what you may be feeling is withdrawls because you're not getting the full affect of the suboxone. I started off taking 24mg of sub a day and am now down to 3mg a day and am continuing to slowly decrease. I say slowly decrease because it's very important to allow your body to adjust to it... I wish that I would have started decreasing 5 years ago! I drink wine a few nights out of the week with no adverse reactions. Everyone is different though and if you have a drink and don't feel good than I would suggest not drinking while you're on the suboxone. By the way, 6 years is way too long to be on sub... I suggest weaning yourself off of it as soon as you feel good about yourself and you don't feel the desire to go back to using the drug of your choice... whatever it was. Stay strong... suboxone has helped many people. Try to wean yourself off of it as soon as you can though. It is highly addictive! Since I've been taking it, I've had a few instances where there was miscommunication between the doctor and the pharmacy (of course this always happens on a friday when the doctor will be out of the office for the weekend), and the withdrawls that I went through were 10x worse than a vicodine withdrawl. Fortunately, I have an understanding phamacist who when realized what I was going through fronted me a couple of pills until the weekend was over. Quite often, the phamacist understands more about the drugs than the doctors do... I would ask your pharmacist the question about the alcohol as well. Good luck!... and don't forget, stay strong!!! Peace & light.

I agree on the dosage. I take a quarter in the morning and it is no different from taking a whole 8mg tab. You are just wasting the medication if you take a whole bunch at once. I do not drink anymore but when i did, it did not affect me taking the suboxone one way or the other.

Yes i agree so much of what your saying....Sub is very addicting and you can wean yourself....But like you said you have to be strong and really want to reduce the amount you are taking....And slowly reduce the amount you are taking....Believe me and rip2012, The withdrawls from sub is HORRIFIC! you can end up in the E.R or even worst depending on what your own chemistry is like....Everyones is different.

on a quarter of a sub 2 times daily and have liver failer, nerve damage to the brain and breathing problems from two different meds mixing and my brother is in acoma dying from drinking on subs soooo please think before you do ne thing with subs

Your an id**t
