I am addicted to painkillers. Does anyone know anything about the drug sub oxygen and how do I get it?

Answer 1

Well I probably know a lot about it as I participated in the clinical trials for it 3 x in from1994-2001. It is actually buprenorphine. It has been around a long time but was approved by the FDA about three years ago as an alternative to methadone. It is being marketed in two forms. Suboxone and Subutex. Subutex is a monotherapy drug containing just the bupe. Suboxone is a combination drug containing the bupe and naloxone which is an antagonist. If you were to take the suboxone and then abuse another opiate you will quickly become sick enough to wish death.(much like withdrawal) They like to use this one as there is a much greater chance of not using anything else. You would only do it once for sure.Doctors had to take an online course of 14 hours to be able to prescribe it. You should be able to get a list of them by typing in buprenorphine treatment + your state. Sometimes there is a waiting list but they have just upped the number of patients each doctor can have from 15 to I think 45. I think you will find it to be a great benefit if you are seriously ready to be done with the whole thing. It works well. In the clinical trials we were all just guinea pigs and that made it a little tough. I begged for less as i was getting real high and fallling asleep on my way home and they refused because it would mess up their data.There is a big case going on here in Vt. right now as a client fell to sleep on his way home from the clinic and hit a car and killed five people on their way home from IBM.Do use caution until you know what your dose needs to be and how you react to it. Any more questions please e-mail me.Good Luck

Hello,

I would have never figured out what you meant by "Sub Oxygen". fortunately another poster did. Anyhow Suboxone is a combination of a couple of different drugs that can be very helpful to opiate addicts. The first drug is a partial opiate agonist which means it partially triggers opiate receptors and gives the addict some relief from withdrawal and craving, but since it's only a partial agonist even if you take more than you are supposed to it won't get you really high. The other drug is a strong opiate antagonist, which means it binds strongly with opiate receptors, but it does not trigger the receptor. This drug is destroyed by the stomach so in normal use it has no effect. It only comes into play if an addict attempts to abuse the drug by injecting or snorting it. By injecting or snorting the addict bypassess the stomach and the opiate antagonist enters the system. It knocks any opiates off the receptor sites and blocks them up. The results is that if an addict trys to abuse Suboxone by injecting it they are instantly stone sober, and for a time incapable of feeling the effects of opiate drugs.

Suboxone is a schedule II narcotic so only docs with some special training can prescribe the stuff. The drug alone is not a magical cure for opiate addictions. Along with a good AODA counselor it can be very helpful.

Here is the official website. Check my facts here as I may not have it exactly right. You can find a doc who can prescribe it on this site. http://www.suboxone.com/

Dear one...you know you are addicted to painkillers and you are wanting some miracle drug to take it away? It will not happen. The only thing you can do is get the help of your physician. I have been there and I know what you are going through. It was the hardest thing in the world to tell others that I was addicted. Some didn't even find out until I called needing bond money to get out of jail from writing my own prescriptions. You will be VERY surprised how people WILL understand. Physicians are there to help us and they can even help tell others with our permission. You need help. It will not get any better, only worse. I challenge you to go first thing in the morning to a doctor and be completely honest with him/her and let them know what is going on. I am so FREE now that I am off of those things. The addiction was incapacitating. I am here to help you. You e-mail me (and I don't mind putting my e-mail out for the world to see: [e-mail] There! Write me and I will help you ANY way I can.

Answer 4

I'm assuming since you didn't know the correct spelling of the drug that someone you know has a prescription for it and told you that you can take it to kick oxycontin.

I have tried this myself. I took a quarter of a pill (which dissolves in your mouth) and my withdrawal symptoms were drastically reduced for a couple of days.

But you know what? As soon as I felt better and didn't have to take the suboxen anymore I ended up going out and getting high on oxy again.

To beat a painpill addiction you need to either go into a rehab facility or you need to have an out patient program followed by a life focused on your sobriety. Sucks to hear but that is the truth.

Answer 5

In addition....it is a newer approach to addiction, so it is expensive. It's about $200.00 for a 2 week-month supply, plus about $400.00 for an initial appiontment...at least in Florida. If you live in an urban area a few doctors will now write perscriptions, whereas you used to have to go to an outpatient clinic daily. It seems to help better then methadone, which most people get stuck on for years, and can get high on. Usually you are started at 16mg., and are weaned down to none within a 4-6 week period. It it given sublingualy (under the tounge). I have tried both Suboxone/Buprinex and Methadone, and highly reccomend the Suboxone programs!

Answer 6

Suboxone is an opiate, recently used to attempt to get patients off other opiates such as oxycontin, methadone, etc. Before receiving your first dose of suboxone, one cannot have ingested any other opiate meds for 72 hours. I've heard this med is extremely expensive. Most likely sources for this med are pain management specialists.

Answer 7

I am not seeing anything about it on the web. The only thing that I find out about sub oxygen is that it is a body purifying thing, which if you are addicted to pain killers I am assuming that this isn't what you are looking for.

Good luck with that addiction though.. I am fighting it myself, but with time I know we can probably beat it!

Answer 8

I never heard of such a "drug" and it doesn't come up in an online search.

If you're addicted to painkillers you need to go into a drug rehab program.

Answer 9

Check your other post on this. I left a detailed response

Answer 10

Suboxen, it is an opiate blocker. Call your doctor and speak to him/her about your addiction and getting the medicine.
