wow u dont know jack about suboxone. went from 30mg of methadone to 8mg of suboxone and I felt better than I had in yrs. No dying from withdraws. If u were to switch over at a higher dose say 60 or 100mg then U would feel something for a couple days because the suboxone moves in and kicks the done out completely as for weight gain suboxone does not cause weihgt gain because u are not high as a kite like u are on methadone
It's sad how misinformed people are about the structure of dupe and it's affects. Before you start throwing info out make sure you are properly educated on the precise pharmaceutical.

I was on oxy for pain for years and i weighed 150 pounds. I got on Subutex and am now at 120 pounds after being on sub for 1 year with the exact same diet. This medicine taken exactly as prescribed can ruin your health and hormone levels. Their is no magic bullet. Opiate use is opiate use is opiate addiction. Addiction even if you are taking your meds a prescribed can ruin your life. Get real man.
Pprecipitated withdrawal I think it's called. I tried 2 days without meth and tried ! Not long enough apparently!! Hot blood , ur body has a mind of its own and ur limbs " wig out'. Major shivers!! Netherthe less, waiting for a time that's appropriate for me to go to detox. Been on meth 3 yrs gained 25 kg. halved my does lost 10 kg. 24mg to 13mg . I am still 15 kg heavier than usual. Now I feel better knowing I'm not alone! The professionals won't tell me it's the meth , I'm just at that age
i took suboxone for 5 months and had basically no withdrawl. my boyfriend has been on it for 3 years and is currently 5 days without with no symptoms other than a little insomnia. I was so terrified of the horror stories of suboxone withdrawl which was a walk in the park compared to coming off oxy. cheer up. I think youre going to be pleasantly surprised.
I don't know if this post is still active but the advice A ) switching from methadone to suboxone is fantastic, but any doctor who knows anything about these two medications will have you WEAN the methadone for quite awhile before starting the suboxone. This information is from my suboxone doctor.
B) DO NOT expect (or advise) that suboxone will contribute to weight loss. Do a quick Google search for "suboxone and weight gain" you'll see what I mean. It slows your metabolism down extremly. And I mean EXTREMELY. I have never been over 110 in my life and have stayed at a steady 135 since starting suboxone. I NEVER POOP! ALWAYS CRAVE JUNK amd to top it off am much less active since I'm constantly drowsy and spaced out. Started at 12mg daily am down to 1.75 but still only slight weight loss changes when I first switch to lower dose. So don't think this drug will somehow miraculously change your appearance, mood and life. Take suboxone to get your life back but know you are not legitimately drug free until weaned off this crutch too. And when that day comes go vegan and hit the gym:) seriously until you're done with suboxone you won't see any effect no matter your diet or exercise changes. Hmmm though I have heard weight lifting helps considerably.
Good luck, one step at a time, first step...stop expecting drugs (taken for amy reason) to do the work you need to do:)
Please explain this diet to me. I've gained solo much weight. I have an eating disorder but it's been I'm remission for a few years. I'm afraid I'll relapse that way if I stay on subs. And if I stop the subs I'll relapse with heroin. If you can give me any advice I would greatly appreciate it.
i was on methadone at 110 mgs for about 4-5 months and ofcourse i gained about 30 pounds.i weened off 5mg every week to 5mg every 5 days at the end 5mg every 3 days til i got down to 35 mg i dosed the day b4 i went to the subutex doctor and even on the phone prior he said in the background oh he can come in and start subutex when he gets down to 40mg...WRONG..i waited after the sun. i took my last 35mg od methadone and went and got a script of 90 8mg subutex not garbage suboxone which has bad side effects with that naloxone...but anyway i took the subutex late afternoon and my stomach started killing me..i thought it was the pizza i ate..then my head was spinning then i hit the bathroom and went back 3 more times to deficate..then once i felt that hot blood and skin and then cold goose bumps i know it was withdrawl big time..i had to take lil pieces of a pill the next 2-3 days until it went to normal and i could take the subutex 8mg 3 a day which is just buprenorphine same as suboxone but with out the naloxone that blocks people from shooting dope...burenorphine is similar in the chemistry of methadone cuz their both synthetics with antagonist and or agonist opioid properties where they fill the MU main opiate receptor and block any other kind of opiate from getting in..like bouncing it off..but when u take both at once i guess they have a god awful fight for tHAT Main opiate MU receptor and thats why u get so sick..finally the subutex took over and i guess the mdone is out of me...u have to wait 3-4 days and atleast be down to 30mg if ya comin off a mdone clinic and not take anything 3-4 days then start the subs...im hoping i will lose weight on this too and it isnt as bad as methadone...i call it the methadone body..i see everyone at the clinic with it with a few skinny lil exceptions...but bloated weight gain and the reason is the methadone makes u crave and only want to eat a sugar diet..like i couldnt eat normal food on it...my diet w as boxes of cereal and other sugar...also the thing they say about m-done messing up your teeth isnt the mdone its because u wanna eat sugar sugar sugar..happened to me each time i was on the clinic...more cavities..more weight..with the subs at first i wasnt wanting to eat anything..lol...then i finally ate regular food yesterday and i felt bloated and weird cuz i guess my body wasnt useto it..i hope i dont crave sweets and i finally got a private dentist on medicaid in fl..and he will do some fillings which is unheard of in florida on medicaid they just rip ya teeth out..but he does restorative work a girl told me even partial dentures and fillings,cleanings...so i hope it works out for me and all u guys cuz like i said "i dont wish addiction on my worst enemy"..oh the bad thing is the methadone clinic was actually free for me cuz of my medicaid..amazing for florida..the others are 15$ a day...but i had to pay 500$ for initial visit with sub doc.hes also a neurologist and was a psychiatrist went to tulane had pain issues himself from a plane crash..my monthy visits now will be 150$ would of been 180$ if they had to do my ua test but i told him my medicaid will pay at the lab so im lettin them pay so its only 150$ a month...also we had to fight florida humana medicaid for prior authorization ofcourse for them to pay for this expensive medication.they denied it second day.but i got it b4 from a doc here once and he wrote the code for methadone withdrawl as the medical reason and it went through second day..i called humana medicaid fought with them and docs other sec. did and i told her about the methadone code and opioid dependence and it finally was paid for..and he put on script i cant take naloxone...i go to the cheapest pharmacy..sams club to get paid for and i had to buy 8 pills cash all together waitin for it to be paid for and it was 4$ and change per pill...and its generic..those brand name suboxone strips are even more.like 6 to 8$ each...
I have been on suboxone for 5 months at 1mg an gained 18 # will lose it when I come off of the suboxone. Also is different bc of just 1mg verses 4mg
Heroin\Oxycodone would be my best guess. Sounds like your brother has had an ex-opiate addict move in and it's not unusual for addicts to go back and forth with other opiates while being prescribed Suboxone.
I would love to know what diet you used.
I was on 70 ml of methadone . I put so much weight on because of it. I was very light 100lb I gained approx 5 stone it was awfull. The lower I dropped the more weight I lost I went from 12 stone to six stone in under a year . 50ml -19 ml.im now on ten and unfortunately I've put it all back on in the last two years . But I'm comming of my serequel which is a major weight gainer . I'm now on ten ml which is so difficult to come of . I take 5ml most days only take the ten when I'm really bad.
I don't know if this will even help.
