Not most drug screen: It will not show up in standard opiate screens. Unless the screen is looking specifically for buprenorphine, it won't show up.

Question 2

suboxone or subutex? which is cheaper? which is easier on your body? which would you recommend as a doctor?

Accepted Answer

Really the same: Suboxone contains naloxone, which is not absorbed to any significant extent, and is there to deter people from injecting the tablets/films, because Naloxone will precipitate withdrawal.  Physicians are strongly urged not to prescribe subutex (the product with Buprenorphine alone, and no naloxone) because it has greater potential to be abused.  They are equally safe and effective in treatment.

what do you advise if i want advice on how to taper off suboxone and subutex with what i have left , how should i do this?

Accepted Answer

Stopping Suboxone: Why do you want to stop the buprenorphine? It is probably helping you stay off dangerous opiates. You should discuss tapering with your doctor. It's a lot easier to stop after being tapered by your doctor. You have a risk of relapsing back on opiates within the next six months if you too abruptly quit. We can't adequately advise you more about that here on this site. Please seek a professional.

Question 9

is generic subutex less strong than brand suboxone? ever since i switch i've experienced what feels like slight withdrawal by the end of the day

Accepted Answer

Different compounds: Suboxone is a compound that contains both subutex and when you switch over to subutex without the Naltrexone protection, you are putting yourself at risk for developing tolerance to the subutex alone. This could explain why you are feeling the effect wear off at the end of the day. You may also wish to take a look at some of your herbal supplements to see if they affect the blood levels of Suboxone or subutex. There is always the chance that by being compounded differently, although the original doses of medications are the same, they may be absorbed somewhat differently in different formulations. Best wishes.
