Suboxone For Anxiety!

[beastmode28]

Along with my meds for the anxiety, v@l 10mg 2x daily and 2mg zanny, i also use suboxone. I divide the 8mg strip into 6ths aprox 1.3mg each. I have found it completely curbs my anxiety, pain and cravings. Anyone else find this to be thereputic for they're anxiety?

Yes! Depression as well. I believe they are doing clinical trials for these uses. I didn't realize how much it helped until I stopped taking it due to insurance issues. Waiting on an order with SL now.

Be careful fellow members. You're taking two classes of meds that are a bitch to detox from.

I'm not questioning the combo cause if it works then good. But keep a  check on it.

I just grit my teeth and pay outa pocket, not cheap! However, its worth my serenity. The sub therapy is indeed an all in one wonder med. Im waiting on an order shipped from J @ SL on 9/25 aswell. Being patient, good things dont always come quick! I just got my meds at the local pharm tpday so im ok, just when you have a tolerance like alot of us running short a few days or even low will raise anxiety!

Your right banger. I keep my dose of sub at 1-2mg a day and even skip days. The V and Z's I've tapered down to 20mg val andc2mg zan daily and skip a day between val doses. I've come a looooong way since a year ago. Was much much more dependant on the bzos plus was kicking the opi's. Thank u though, i always see you keep people well informed and show real concern where as most dont.

Yeah sub detox is a lengthy process that can be very difficult. I think some of that does have to do with the fact that they can help alleviate anxiety and depression. I'm not into benzos and from some of the detox stories I have read makes me want to keep it that way.

Bzo detox especially cold turkey with an even moderate dependance is crucial! Way way worse than opis! Longer duration both mental with rebound anxiety and physical. When used correctly the dependency still develops and must be tapered slowly. If planning on staying on them tapering over a few months to a substantial low dose....less is more thereputic theory, really works. And can be kept under control.

My Dr. gives me one 12 mg strip a day and 2 mg of klon-O-P-eN and it has definitely kept me from touching any hard street drugs in over a year.

 

[Jwhite0009]

That's great that it helps with pain. And reasonable doses. My dr had me on 16mg/day. After reading some forums I cut my dose back to 2-4mg without noticing a difference. I was able to put back quite a bit for when my insurance ran out.

I came into this sub-forum to make a thread about opiates, specifically bupe, for anxiety (and/or depression) but one already existed, which I find pretty interesting.

I first tried an opate 7 years ago and an extensively long story short, have been on and off them since then. It was, and still is, an addiction but one I was never into for the rush or high doses, I always, and still do, only use low doses, just enough to feel it and bring my anxiety down. opiates have been the only drug to ever make me feel "normal", which unfortunaterly, is probably the most subjective word in our vocabulary.

That all said, I've only used Kratom for the last 4 years (zero synthetics), which in my opinion, is really an herbal opiate. I used it for nearly 3 years daily and went c/t and experienced absolutely dreadful w/d's for nearly two weeks. Stopped using it for a year and then, eventually, despite knowing the w/d consequences, began using it again but at literally a 6th of the amount. When I use full agonist opiates like hydro/oxy, the inevitable tolerance and short half-life become issues and the con's do not at all outweigh the pro's and Kratom does not last nearly long enough and from experience, I'm not willing to use any more than I am now. To my point...

To my knowledge, tolerance does not build to nearly the same degree with bupe, as it does with other, full agonist synthetic opiates and due to it's long half-life, I feel that a low dose used 1-2 times/day could prove to be worth using for, what to me, is an extreme anxiety disorder that no other class of medication comes close to helping as much. I use 15mg Valium day but for me that is a low dose and the tolerance issues with benzo's is even worse than that of opiates. My doc would think about scripting bupe for me because he does believe in the possibility of it's use in this area, but if he doesn't, I am still thinking of trying a very lose dose, starting at 0.2mg 1-2 times daily for my anxiety.

Lol sorry that long post didn't amount to much but I tend to be overly thorough and am always curious of other's opinions.

in my opinion subs work great for anxiety however the wd can be a nightmare

It worked briefly, but then made my moods unstable. It had a lot of promise for me but ended in disappointment. A lot of others have had great results with it for anxiety/depression so it's worth a shot, it's currently being trialled for treatment resistant depression with some good results.

OK Edward, I just answered you on another thread. Please stop asking for pms. It's the best way to get scammed. I pointed you in the right direction, now do me a favor like I did for you and read the forum rules. Then read the advice for newbs thread. It's worth investing the time to learn how things work here.

I was just going to say the same as 2e.. never ask for a source via pm because you will get scammed.  But I can also give you a tip and that is try cutting the film in half and only take 4mg and I'll bet you can't tell a difference and it will last twice as long.

Edit to add: Also, did you know if you go to sub oxone.com you can print out a coupon that says it's for $50.00 off for your sub film script but when I used it I found out it was actually good for more.  Also, the coupon is good for a year.
