Oxycodone vs Subutex
 | Oxycodone |  | Subutex |  |
| Oxycodone is used to help relieve moderate to severe pain. Oxycodone belongs to a class of drugs known as narcotic (opiate) analgesics. It works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. | Buprenorphine is used to treat dependence/addiction to narcotics (opioids). Buprenorphine belongs to a class of drugs called mixed narcotic agonist-antagonists. It helps prevent withdrawal symptoms caused by stopping other opiate-type narcotics. It is used as part of a complete treatment program for drug abuse (such as compliance monitoring, counseling, behavioral contract, lifestyle changes). | |||

| Add Oxycodone review I have Head and Neck Cancer,I take 5mg every four hours as needed to relieve pain. the pain never goes away very effective This helped a little when it was first prescribed, but is ineffective now. I've had the dosage increased from 5 mg every 4 hrs when initially prescribed to 60 mg every 4 hrs now, but it has long since stopped helping my b/t pain. I'm happy for anyone who is able to get pain relief!! | Add Subutex review I have been using subutex for several years now. I take anywhere from 2-6 mg/day. The only drawback is that you need to clean your mouth/brush your teeth to get full affect. In addition, I found that the longer you can go leaving med in mouth, the better it is absorbed and vice/versa. Also, I'm down to a dose where I really don't have bad physical withdrawals if I try to get off of it but I do have acute anxiety. Has anyone got off of this drug by using something for anxiety and if so what? I know this seems like substituting one med for another but I feel like having something for anxiety would be the last tapper. In addition to the latter, has anyone had a hard time obtaining subutex rather than suboxone? There are many doctors that only want to prescribe suboxone but the naloxone really puts me in a tale spine. I wish I could take the naloxone but I found the naloxone is what makes me tired and depressed even though it suppose to have no effect due to buprenorphine being superior to receptors than naloxone. Any feedback would be appreciated. I love it im pregnant and could not take suboxone so this.is the next best thing ;) how long does it take to get out of your system, I want to get off to expensive | |||
