I found out by accident looking on pilll identifier that methocarbamol can ease the withdrawl process from opiates. It no doubt would ease the withdrawl from subutex or suboxone also which are partial opiates. The drug companies do not seem to want to help us neither do the detox Doctors.
Detox Doctors want to keep you on subutex or suboxone, big money involved here. Apparently so do the drug companies. It is impossible to taper off of the 8mg. pill, after breaking it into quarters it just crumbles and I do not think the medicine is evenly distributed throughout the pill. An 8mg. pill costs the same price as a 2mg. pill. Go figure. The information I found on your site is a light in the dark for me. I want to stop subutex but need something to help with the detox, I know soma helps some and people say methocarbamol does well. Please put out more information on Methocarbamol for use helping to go through any kind of opiate withdrawl from your readers, any info on the subject of easing opiate withdrawl is a much needed subject. Also if there are any places people without insurance can get Methocarbamol, please, Thank You

Hi Jo Ray!
I am not an expert or a Dr but I was a suboxone patient for 6 years and am, as of today, over 90 days free of suboxone. I am actually free of every opiate, as I am a pain pill addict but have not abusively used since 2005. I got into a suboxone program in Feb of 05 and finally, on my own, jumped off at 1mg of sub on 9/11/11. The drugs that helped me thru w;ds were, xanax, flexeril, ambien and motrin/tylenol. I also exercised(I am a distance runner) and I have a very good diet(Vegan) As far as the drug you mention, I believe it is a muscle relaxer and it could be helpful in relieving some of the RLS and tension that is caused by w/d off sub. That's what the flexeril did for me, and it is also a muscle relaxer. I will caution, however, that no one drug is a cure all for opiate w/d. It takes a combination of mental and physical will along with some drugs that aleviate some of the w/d symptoms. And time...

Hi,i found your post very interesting and i am thinking about getting on subs for my opiate addiction of 7yrs but i just dont know it sounds like its harder to get off then my pain pills? I am so confused and dont know what to do anymore and i cant afford a sub doc or the subs because i lost my insurance but i have a friend who gave me 15 of the sub strips and 15 of the pills, both being 8mgs but i dont know if this amount is enough to quit the opiates and not freak out when i run out of the 30 subs that i have.. Any advice would be great!! Thank my friend and God bless! Mickey from chicago..

Jo Ray here again, to the one who is concerned about the cost of Sub. Each Doctor is allowed 3 paitents who can recieve a yesrs supply at no charge if you bring in last years tax form to prove you are low income.
Also I didn't know there were sub strips out there, can you cut them down to say a half miligram? One mor question, when I try to go over 36 hours I get extreme leg cramps and muscle pain and ache. But I never thought to try soma at 36 hours. Hope I get a chance to. I'm like you and have no insurance. Hey!!! For those of you who have insurance there is a new once a month treatment ons pays for, it's a shot and it according to my Dr. Will cure you of opiate addiction. One more laugh for us low income no ins folks- look up 8 hour detox, 8 hours asleep wake up and Presto you are tired but totally free of opiate addiction- catch price $18,000.00
