I was on methadone for 10 years. I switched to the subutex on Feb. 28th 2010 and did really good on the subutex untill 20 days ago, when I relapsed i started taked methadone again  just a litle at first and then I worked up to about 60 a day I took 60 mgs on Sunday and 20 mg on Monday, I havent taken anything else untill this morning, I woke up at 5:30 feeling like I was gonna die.   ( Chills, Fatigue, Diareha, No appetite)  So I took 2mg of subutex at 5:30 this morning, It is now 9:28am and I still feel like crap..  Did I take the Subutex to soon or did I not take enough Subutex ?   Please Help.....

You will need help when the detoxing starts, because this is a dangerous situation if you're not helped. I cannot believe any Physician would expect a Patient just to stop without any kind of aid. Sounds very negligent to me. If the withdrawal gets too tough? Get yourself to the ER ASAP! This is nothing to fool around with, as I've already suffered a mild heart attack from withdrawal. Is this Doctor you see a Pain Management Physician? If not? Find one right away, and tell the other Doctor you need one, and why. Sometimes when you ask you Doctor for a referral? That may wake the fool up as to the danger they may be putting you through. I wish you all the best, and so hope you receive the help you need to detox safely. Sincerely, Franny

HI....ive been following your story for a wile now....really the best answer here is to get some advise from a doctor....you may need to go inpacent to overcome this addiction
one thing is for sure you need to quit self medicating both sub and methadone require a doctors care both are powerful narcotics...I wouldn't add any more sub b/4 you ask a doctor
participated withdrawals are not pritty ....its ok to ask for help when you need it good luck and God bless.....Gnarly

Hello. I have a double whammy I have been using zanaz and hydrocodone for 7 years. I am a working mother of 3 children hold a full time professional job and Monday my dr decided that she was taking me off both. I have had the withdrawls from zanax so bad to where I couldn't sleep for days.. felt dizzy and very unbalanced. I have also had the withdrawls from norco but never both at once. Friday will be my first day at chemical dependency . Does anyone know what lies ahead for me? I want to be free of both pills! I want to live normal and happy just like the next person!

I do not know any info about the two drugs you mentioned, but if you feel this bad you should go to the ER and seek help. I can understand why you would be afraid and if you have taken too much or mixed too soon sitting at home will not help your body. Be honest with the medical staff and get some peace of mind. Hope you feel better!

I am sorry to hear about your relapse. Your behavior is very scary and I hope the going back and forth stops soon or now.

We cannot tell you how to take the Subutex or any other drug here, I think you know that.

While I don't usually advocate maintenance drugs for opiate use, sometimes they do have their place. It is not my call. That being said, I have to tell you that you need to be under a doctor's care. All of this self-medicating is dangerous.

Please consider making an appointment. If you going to do this, do it right.

I wish you the best.
