acute withdrawals, shakes, cold sweats tremedously, etc. I was told that if I were switched to subutex, due to the abscense of naloxone which is in suboxone, I would have no acute withdrawal, but now I am scared because after reading a few comments above, a few reported a day and a half of cold sweats and other withdrawals too, If there is no naloxone how could the subutex initiate withdrawal symptoms, I just don't want subutex to have any of the treacherous side effects that I experienced on suboxone from supposedly that horrifice naloxone ingrediant, please someone assure me the subutex, gives me none of suboxone side effects bcuz I'm ready to just give up and go back on methadone which i got off of in 2004 after my ex-fiance' overdosed from stealing my methadone wafers and he had never used opiates. Help?
O.k. I am wondering because suboxone even after 24-48 hours off of opiates still throws me into?

First of my condolences on the loss of your husband im so sorry. For the medical truth and not just guesses or experience you might want to see a doctor. Also no matter what we do we are always going to have to experience withdrawls im sorry its every opiate addictied persons fate. Its every drug users fate no medicine will completely take away withdrawls it will help either leave the pain and withdrawls at bay or deal with it full on. Medicine will only help the withdrawl process less severe.

Web MD is a good place to get the medical truth. There are the very very few here that are really a doctor.
First off the lady didn't say what opiate she is WD from and believe me that make a difference. If I had to guess I'd say she is stopping Methadone. Methadone is one of the only opiates that you must not take a full 48 thru 72 hrs before taking Suboxone. Methadone builds up in the blood plasma and will be present at strength for up 2, 72 hrs so it just makes sense that she needs to stop the opiates wait at least 48 full hours the use the Suboxone. If she doesn't I will guarantee she will experience horrific WD, also using one opiate to WD from another isn't the smartest course of action for obvious reasons. That should be a last resort, again for obvious reasons. So anonymous I appreciate your answer except for the " Also no matter what we do we are always going to have to experience withdrawls im sorry its every opiate addictied persons fate" thats just not true. Anybody will have to go 24 hrs on standard opiates 48 on a couple synth opiates but after that they should experience no WD if they take Suboxone.
