Question 4

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.

Some withdrawal: You may experience some but not a lot of withdrawal symptoms, usually in the form of minimal cramps, minor body aches and possibly some cravings, but I doubt you would get full blown withdrawal symptoms, but be prepared for it in any case.

Question 10

i was addicted to subutex for 8 years. switched to suboxone 2weeks before i started my detox.6th day of withdraws and im terrified of relapsing. if i relapse when do i not have to worry about starting my withdrawals all over again?

Accepted Answer

: Suboxone is also addictive, but can be slowly diminished in administration over time so that eventual stopping will not be accompanied by severe withdrawal. Strong addiction to a narcotic, with switch to buprenorphine (suboxone) if managed by slow reduction of daily amounts should greatly ease symptoms of withdrawal.
