Can You Take Benzos While You're On Suboxone? (Page 12) (Top voted first)

Updated

I've been seeing a lot of posts regarding taking benzos while on Suboxone. It is ok to take a benzo w/ suboxone - as long as you're taking the prescribed dosages you'll be fine. Now if you're taking 3 or 4 8mgs of Suboxone and say 5 or 6 Xanax that's not good, that's where the reported deaths have come from. I've been on Subs for 5 yrs. I've also been subscribed klonopin and am currently taking valium w/ it and it's fine. I'm on a low dose and only take what I am prescribed.

I'm undergoing treatment for Ph+Chronic Mylogenous Leukemia and the chemo causes pain but I was dependent on hydro years ago and used subs to get off. I use buprenorphine now as my pain med and as you can imagine I've developed a lot of anxiety as a result for which I use Valium/Ativan. It's more of an as-needed medicine. I've never been concerned that I was putting myself at deaths door. I'm extremely aware of my body and if something is wrong. I've never used more than 8mg Sub per day and at my worst(bone marrow biopsy day which i choose to get without the fentanyl, I took 4 10mg valiums. yowza that hurts! I'm simply saying I've never felt a danger of the two. But I've now been on the benzo's a long time so I've begun a veery slow taper.

It is a horrible situation to be put in. It actually almost makes you want to relapse. I really would like to know how many people have died because of this combination and if they had other medical factors that could of lead to the deaths. I have had no problems at all.

I disagree what if one has been prescribed Xanax and methadone for years i.e. myself, and many others and would like to switch to a SAFER alternative. If PRESCRIBED AND TAKEN AND DIRECTED IT IS MORE THEN LIKELY SAFE. You can OD on water if you drink to much. It's a forum, generally everyday people sharing experience's. Where does it say "I'm a doctor"?

I'm am currently leaning my self off suboxone because of an incident that happened a couple months ago which caused me to have severeither ptsd and anxiety and depression and doctors keep saying that I need to be off the suboxone fist to get put on a benzo. Well it's easy for them to say when I cant sleep at night because I have panic attacks and I can't be around a lot of people because it kicks in bad. I had to stop working cause I just couldn't handle the stress off the anxiety and panic attacks. I just don't no what else to do I'm literally trying to get off my suboxone as fast as I can so I can deal with my other problems. ARE THERE ANY DOCTORS WHO WILL PRESCRIBE BOTH and make it a safe dosage. Here in SC it seems like they don't care unless ur going to cash doctors
