Please---any docs or nurses, tell me---is this drug safe?
Short or Long term? (I hear short term now?) I have done tons of research on DEATHS when taken with benzodiazepenes--is this true? Where would i find info on this? My med list includes *warnings* of CNS DEPRESSION. Kind of --no---really scaring me. My heart can't take much more i get the sense.  I feel so dead |

Go to suboxone.com There is a lot of info there. This drug is used for opiate addiction only. You do not take it with any other opiate or benzo. I feel you do not know enough about this drug to take it, please find out more. It is a lifesaver for a lot of people, but you need to be well informed and smart about your meds and interactions they may have when taken together.

alrightty then i do believe i'm talking to myself (uh oh--schizophrenia
 )This drug is pretty odd. I was at my doc who prescribes it last week to get fluids due to dehydration, and I told him i went back to Norco, he said, "you'll have to take a lot of Norco to get the same effect of Suboxone". Which makes me think: 1) when given it in rehab, I was not told, nor did i ask (docs know it all don't ya know ) what this drug was all about.2) I am finding out that it is a VERY potent drug-yes-sorta like Methadone--maybe stronger-all for cravings only--they say. (Even Kaiser now requires you to come in and take Suboxone under their supervision--hence a Suboxone clinic ffs!!!!!!!!!!!!) 3) Other things can help cravings, I take Norco now when I'm supposed to, I don't abuse it, and i take it for fibroids and endometriosis. I guess my point is when I detoxed off of it, it was the right thing to do, whenever i take it my chest gets squirrly. I would like to think that I can now, according to the doc, take something that isn't as strong, like the Norco, so I can get Suboxone out of my system. Suboxone reminds me of a methadone clinic, 5 years from now i really would enjoy hearing what happens to this drug............. HTH someone who reads rather than posts. Good day
