How I Help my Patients Quit Suboxone: Doctor's Secrets
Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is a prescription medication for the treatment of opioid use disorder and opioid dependence. This video pertains to Suboxone prescribed by a doctor for the treatment of a medical condition.
When prescribed correctly, Suboxone is life-saving. When used as prescribed, it is safe and effective.
However, not everyone wishes to take Suboxone for the rest of their life. Once you've sorted out your life and achieved stability, it is reasonable to consider tapering.
Quitting Suboxone is not easy. If you're unprepared, you're likely to fail. In today's video, Dr. McGeachy explains the factors that influence success and talks about his strategy for tapering patients off Suboxone.
This video should not be construed as medical advice for any particular individual. Speak with your own doctor before you stop taking any medication.
If you or someone you love is suffering from problematic drug or alcohol use or addiction and is seeking treatment, contact us today.

This Subconscious Belief Is So Damaging to Opioid Recovery

There is an insidious thought that can sabotage your recovery from opioid addiction. I call it a mind virus because it spreads so easily from person to person, but you could call it a meme as well.

    I get a new prescription for mine each month but I have a zillion bottles of unused medicine because I found out they cause constipation and the half life is way too long for me-I can’t wake up on time of I even take 1/2 a pill!!

    I was severely injured while serving in the Army (Operation Desert Storm) and I went on a regiment of pain medication, which ultimately tore my stomach up. My doctor recommended methadone once per day, although it did not take all the pain away it was easier on my stomach. It has been over 30 plus years and I do not think there is any options for me, the thought of trying to withdraw after 30 plus years is terrifying plus the pain i would have to endure the rest of my years

    I’ve never understood why precipitated withdrawal occurs.. when the subs one kicks the opioid off the receptors and binds to them itself, why doesn’t the fact they are now binded to them stop withdrawal occurring seeing as this is the reason for taking them in the first place. I don’t get how they stop withdrawal when taken on their own but cause it when taken on top of other opioids

    There is another substance that suboxone is ineffective for. It is 7-hydroxymitragynine when taken in high doses for a prolonged period of time. Even 24mg suboxone didn't touch my withdrawals, and then I had to painfully wean down my 7hydroxy use with help from benzos, then quit 7hydroxy for 2 days and then 12mg suboxone worked. I will soon just switch back to regular kratom, since it is most effective for my conditions, and easiest for me to not abuse, and easiest to wean off of when needed. It's still addictive and leads to dependence, but it is much safer imo.

      See if they'll put you on subutex instead of suboxone. Subutex doesn't have naloxone in it and won't throw you into withdrawals if you start once wd symptoms start. I've been on subutex for years and I personally like it better than suboxone. I get cluster headaches and the suboxone was triggering the headaches due to the naloxone.

    Thanks for the "depot effect" and info. I used the BERNESE METHOD before on my own after every dr didnt listen, and put me into precipitated every time. I was able to microdose over 7 days or so and get up to 12 mgs of suboxone or so and then able to stop fentanyl. I speak from serious experience, and this video is SPOT ON!!! The prob is, facilities and Drs are still using the old playbook. And they do not listen to patients.

    My sister says she is too scared of precipitated withdrawal to even try that treatment. She has “friends” who say they’ll never try quitting again after that experience, so I wish all practitioners would consider that as an emergency to avoid at all costs. Waiting for her to get treated successfully is terrifying.

  • @dianabarnessarlo6387

    I want to share something deeply personal. I had no idea I was using fentanyl while I had been clean for ten years. After having successfully overcome my pill addiction, I thought I could safely take my Suboxone after waiting 24 hours since my last pill. What followed was the worst withdrawal I’ve ever experienced. The thought of going on methadone is something I really want to avoid. Instead, I'm considering taking oxycodone for a week to help ease the transition while the fentanyl leaves my system, and then returning to my Suboxone. I truly hope that this plan works out. The impact of my struggles weighs heavily on me because I fear disappointing my children; it’s as if I can feel their anxiety and pain. I had no idea that my journey would lead me here, especially amidst everything else I’ve been dealing with all at once. Learning secrets about my past and who I am has been incredibly overwhelming. I lost my parents when I was just 28 days old, and I grew up believing my father was an insignificant figure-there were many lies involved. It was my son who uncovered the truth, and it was almost too much for me to bear. I’m reaching out not just for understanding, but for support during this incredibly challenging time. Thank you for listening.

    4-6 weeks. That's not my experience. I went through a nightmare living alone in my apartment. No doctor or psychiatrist knew much about suboxone. They know how to prescribe it though. The psychiatrist specializing in medications had never met anyone who came off suboxone. I was out of my mind for 8 months. Scary man. The only time I tried opiates was after my 2 surgeries. So when I showed up at a rehab for alcoholism, they out me on suboxone......cause I had prescription pain pills with me. I quit the booze without a relapse. For some reason they never took me off. Its expensive stuff and the prescribing docs get $ for that
