Hello, Spanky! How are you?

No, you shouldn't take them so close together, or combine them.

Mainly, because it could throw you into precipitated withdrawals. The Buprenorphine in the Subutex takes a much stronger grip on your opiate receptors than most other opiates do, so it can kick it out, causing dangerous withdrawals and it can prevent other opiates from having any effect for several days, after taking it.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
