@Gele Nikolov there’s strips and tablets both sublingual and 8 mg…half is 4mg

I like you from India

Awesome! how're doing? I'm on 12 mg (8 and 2 2s) it SAVED my life

In doing well!! Have never took my pain med or any again in years now!

I appreciate you, Nicole!

Yes, thank you Dr. B. for all the knowledge you are sharing to help people stay sober...

@Stephen Tumlin I really don't understand your point. I hope you find the help you need if you do. Suboxone is saving peoples lives my friend, and to know more about it and what it does for you is all this is about. Its really nice to hear your comments though on how you feel. God Bless You.

@Stephen Tumlin I get your question now. At first yes, however if it helps me stay away from the hard core pain pills that can kill you, then I had to realize that those people have no clue what this medication is used for, and I also had a really bad benso problem. Suboxone also helped me with that issue, but I do see your point. I just think for me, being alive is better, than what a few people think about me by the medicine I'm on.

Yeah fuck suboxone.

I agree. I started buprenorphine from a patch being sick for almost 36 hours. It worked great and I wasn't sick for a day and a half. I went on Suboxone soon after. I was sick for the period of time they recommended (morphine use) and they determined I was sick enough.. I got sooo sick, worse than coming off of 120mg methadone. I never went back. And I'd never try it again. I tried to relieve it by taking more morphine but no amount helped at all.. made it worse I think. I went into precipitated withdrawal for the next 14 hours

Thank you!

@@DrBAddictionRecovery can i start on suboxone if i been clean for over 100 days already?

@@jeffmatts2919 suboxone if i been clean for over 100 days already? Do you really....really.... want to get back on an opiate as strong as buprenorphine? suboxone after being clean from opiates for 100 days? that is ridiculous and dangerous, and you may literally never come off it for life, because of the very long half-life and pain of withdrawal from buprenorphine is extremely underexplained, heroin,oxycontin, morphine etc..does not hold a candle to the length of time and pain of withdrawals that buprenorphine gives a patient, ask an actual addict or visit a rehab clinic and ask the addicts there to compare what withdrawal are worse, not a rehab doctor prescribing it

@@mp-uy9sv only took you a year to respond to late i been on subs for a year now and dont plan on coming off any time soon

Agree. Many are very misinformed about people who need help with addiction.

I'm at 30mls of methadone from 95 I think the pregabalin have given me the strength to get here. A few zimos for the sleep (small price to pay) thanks for the tip.

Congratulations, Just started Kratom yesterday after taking oxycodone for 10 years. Any tips

Please tell how you did it and Brand of Kratom . More details could help us all ....

Kratom never helped me..I was a heavy user though

Thank you for always being there, Cindy!

How are you doing on your fourth month?? Giving up heroin to give suboxone a try. Coming across comments like yours is the reason I am taking the leap of faith.

@@limayaden8458 I've been clean since april! Nowadays I barely can imagine the pain I was in for the last 3,5 years straight. I started using when 19 years old so at times I really did believe that i was a lost cause. I couldn't get myself to clean my appartement even every 4 months, I lost contact to basically all of my friends, didn't have any hobbies, lost both of my jobs. I almost lost an arm and a leg due to addiction. Just kept getting closer to being homeless or dying of an OD by the week. But then my ego kinda kicked in. I was just tired of the endless circle I couldn't get out of. I wrote this list (highly recommend) of specific things that I hate about being an addict. I looked at it every day. The withdrawal symptoms were HORRIBLE. After the initial withdrawal phase I had PAWS for like 2,5 months. But the list reminded me that being an addict is the one of the worst things on earth. I wanted to relapse so badly. But the list still keeps me from relapsing. Now, I'm sitting in my clean kitchen, laundry done, meal cooked, I'm showered and my body looks healthy for the first time in YEARS. Writing this I'm literally crying. I was so close to giving up my life. I'm so glad I didn't. I have so much more energy, love and passion for life, the people around me and myself. Don't give up buddy. Suboxone is a great idea. If you're able to get therapy please do. Write a list of the things you'd love to do one day. Write a list of why you don't like your situation. If writing is too uncomfortable, just think about these questions. I'm rooting for you friend!!

Hi Lin, can call 800-779-4715 and they are super helpful. I think everyone on my team is amazing and dedicated.

I was on that dose a long time. You really do not need that much. You'll notice very minimal to zero withdrawal dropping to just 8 mg. Even 4mg

@Mini Marcle how did it work for you

Hi Jade! Did you watch my live stream by chance? I answered a lot of questions around this in there. You can find it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qK-insuZmM3MhHk.html

I missed it but I'll check out the link. Thank you!!!

@@jjadebrooklyn Absolutely! If there's any other questions that I don't specifically answer for you just let me know!

Big on it, for the right patient.

It works great for me! I love it. My life changed the day I switched from a long acting morphine to Subutex....I feel the best I have ever felt in my life. I also use advil to help with my pain and I also do Yoga now which helps tremendously.

@@ramey_4332 Happy to hear that it's working so well for you, Ramey!

Wd from the subs or percipitated wd?

You’re taking them too soon

I agree, there is withdrawal from clonidine also.

you have to take lots of kratom to get off. two weeks and I was having kratom withdrawals every 2 hours. which makes you go straight back to the pain meds.

Clonidine is primarily used "off-label" in the case of opiate/opiod withdrawl and can help with keeping calm and agitation, restlessness ect. It is an anti hypertensive drug. Clonidine is not an opiod or opiate and is commonly used alongside buprenorphine in MAT, usually in the beginning stages when the patient is still getting adjusted to the medication and detox from the opiate and or opiod.

Clonidine is a blood pressure med.

Not bup

Iboga is illegal here.

Kratom?

@@thatguy1729 is it safe for someone with kidney failure? I have CKD stage 3b sometimes 4. I also have chronic kidney stones, will Kratom put me at risk for more stones? is kratom high in oxalates?

Private doctor?

Can you go to a private doc?

CHUITO MALAVE subs or methadone?

Dr. B Addiction Recovery ...methadone !

Diane Bays i think thats the last option !

Hi Stevie, yes I can. Give me a call, (800)779-4715

Foof y you just want to kill your self umm.

Poor thing 💚

I would you drink bleach hun?! Wtf

Hi Edward, I'm located in California.

Dr. B Addiction Recovery Bay Area???

That is a very common attitude, even out here. Part of it is a misunderstanding of the concept that how opiates and benzos together are more deadly. Although true, there is a sublty here and it is too long to get into.

I live in Ohio and also had the problem with benzo/bup. Dr. B is right it is a common attitude from a doctor. The studies of mixing benzos and bup are still limited as suboxone was FDA approved in 2003. The studies i have read are mostly of people illicitly using benzos and or buprenorphine together, not much on the patients using the two medications as directed . As Dr. B explains that if the patient is on a benzo then they would be closely monitered because of the abuse potential. The best option in my opinion if bup and benzos are prescribed is to seek out a dual diagnosis facility so the doctor can tailor your opiate/opiod recovery and also the anxiety issues.

@@sebaldwin12 yes, I believe you are right. My mother, at age 86 was on methadone and Klonopin. She went to a pain Dr at MVC in Richmond. She was closely monitored and had no problem with the two. I think the problem is, as you said, people abusing the two, or one or the other. It's not an automatic death sentence.

I am taking 16mg buprenorphine hcl b.i.d (2x a day) because i have been a chronic pain patient for 10 years as i was diagnosed with crohns disease. I switched from Fetanyl to methadone and oxymorphone befote trying buprenorphine (subutex). The half life is what made me realize that it was the right med as i could go with 2 doses a day instead of 4 and i not get the highs and lows from the common opiods oxy, hydro ect. I am also prescribed 3mg alprazolam a day prn (as needed) and under close monitoring by my doctor. I have an FDA link about this subject ill post.

LOL! You should see my history. Mean, workaholic, difficult to deal with, way too intense, only cares about patients.......The best one was nicest and smartest A..hole I ever met. All of that said, thank you and no offense taken.

Ask him out

I agree

You are lucky. I tried to ''Woman up'' by going to the South of France to ''Cold turkey'' it out... alone.{Heroin and methadone} ..It was so utterly grim. I just dragged myself up and down the coast by train going from pharmacy to pharmacy buying Paregorique and Neo Codion in a vain attempt to ease the pains. Such beautiful scenery lost on me, the lighthouse over the bay at St Tropez hit the bedroom wall with four rapid flickers of light, I watched them for hours, like a pulse through the hot restless nights Shamefully approaching rainy old England I knew my pain would be eased. Next year I went back, fully supported with a script...what a blessed difference.
