Suboxone how long can you take before your addicted

[Bubby1978]

I went to the doctor for a percocet habbit of about 6 months.( It was just a way for me to "UNWIND" after work..When I tried to stop one day, the withdrawl was so BAD I could not move. My whole body ached...( I was taking 80mg a day on average). He prescribed me 60 Suboxone (8mg/2mg ) for 30 days. It cost me $413 ! My last perk was Sat. Now I am worried I will get addicted to Suboxone. How long and how much can you take before addiction sets in? I can not go through another withdrawl... A week????

Agreed ^^^^ I was on Subs, when I realized I was 3 months pregnant, and I my doctor said that it was very bad for me while pregnant, so I was perscribed  Subutex! I think that would be the very best choice, other than weening off them :)

Suboxone and Subutex are mainly the same thing they are both buprenorphine the only difference is suboxone has naloxone in it switching from Suboxone to Subutex does not change the influence that has on a fetus

Hey there how are you doing I feel your pain.. I am much younger and live a much different lifestyle but have been addicted to opiates for the last 7 years.. For many of us the opiates fill that void in us that we spent years trying to fill with every other possible way.. I have gotten clean multiple times but always come crawling back to the drugs.. When things start to get really good we start to think we deserve to just do it once telling ourselves we will stop after that one time.. When in reality deep down we know this is a myth. Our own minds will trick us into doing things we will only regret later on. I now work in the recovery field and have seen opiates destroy peoples lives. Some of the most brilliant and talented people I have had the pleasure of spending time with were addicts.. Your not alone.. I hope you have made some progress since your post and am here for you and anyone else struggling with opiates.. There is fellowships out there where you can learn to live a life that never seemed possible and you will meet new friends who understand what your going through and you will have a blast doing it.. So stay strong don't give up, take charge of your life... I'm sorry your husband doesn't appreciate what he has. I hope you guys are finding each other again.. Well don't want to get to personal but I'm here and hope to hear from you soon.. Until then stay strong and love yourself...

Good grief. You've been thru a great deal in a short time. I like you don't take mega doses, but am addicted to Norco.
  I got super sick both times I went cold turkey,even 26 days after not using.
Today is a special day. I am on a taper that my Dr knows about. This time it will be safe & sane. You can do it too. I have a medical condition that causes me pain, but I don't care about that anymore. I rather feel the pain.
Another complication of mine is I struggle with BiPolar disorder. It's ok though, the bipolar drugs get modified during. the opiate withdrawal  
So that's my story. I will be here to help you any way I can. I'm sure I'm going to need plenty of help too. Pamela

You shouldn't have sub withdrawal, but subs keep the brain from forming natural chemicals. You may get some Roxy withdrawal that haven't healed yet. The long half life of sub should hold you for a few days. I wouldn't take more subs though, sub is a looooong detox. Ride it out from here, you will heal much faster from Roxys. Do you take amino acids, minerals, electrolytes, etc....?
