Contrave And Suboxone (Page 5)
(Newest replies first)

I started today with my first dose of contrave, 1 pill in the AM. I also take suboxone 8mg (4 1 time a day). My doctor stated that the interaction of the two should be minimal..yeah NO! I got diarrhea, hot flashes, chills, body aches, and pretty much every withdrawal symptom known to man. I now dont want to take the contrave because I am not ready to stop the suboxone. Should I just stop the contrave and continue the sub? Or how should I go about this?

Hello, Kiat! How are you? I'm very sorry about what happened.

Yes, the Naltrexone in Contrave can cause you to go into withdrawal from any opiate, as listed by the FDA, and you were doubling it up with the Naloxone in the Suboxone that does that same thing.

As to how to continue, it usually takes about 3 days, before you can safely take an opiate, again. Unless your doctor instructs otherwise.

Is there anything else I can help with?
