How Long After Taking A Suboxone Can You Take An Opiate? (Page 11) (Top voted first)

I have been on 8 mg/2mg Suboxone strips for 1 year. I am having a tooth (back molar) extraction in the morning. I used my Suboxone strip this morning & the tooth extraction is at 9:30 am tomorrow. If I don't use another Suboxone strip before the extraction, would I be able to take Hydrocodone after my surgery? I don't want to get sick, but I am terrified of going through this surgery with no pain meds. Please help.

How long after taking an 8mg subutex do I have to wait to feel an oxycodone 30mg and really get pain relief from it?

This is the answer I identify with the most; at least in my experience; although the long answer given above was a good one, too.

Good luck to you all. Be safe guys.

Re: amber (# 17)

Amber you didn’t feel the pain because suboxone is STILL an opiOID. It STILL has an opiate in it; and in some rare cases; suboxone is prescribed to individuals for pain.
It fills in the pain receptors in your brain as previously mentioned; so yes, you won’t feel the pain.
It was not the pain pill you took; the combination is dangerous and your lucky you didn’t get sick! Be careful!

Good luck to you all. Be safe guys.

Absolutely whoever wrote this clearly has not only personal experience, but a well-working knowledge that everyone's brain is completely different. As a former addict with the beliefs of everything the above message indicated, I would say use your best judgment. Suboxone has changed my life for the better, and I would never try to get one over on my doctor that seems like drugs seeking at its finest. You should always be upfront with your Physicians, At least if you have your own best interest in mind. Everyone's brain is different their chemistry is different everyone's Walk of Life is different. Pray on it

Well I reply cause I know, I've been on suboxone for 7 years now 16 mg. I went into labor with my daughter on subutex( same thing) they had me off it a whole day before they can put me under for surgery. I asked the doctor if the wait was the same for suboxne and he said yes

I don't want to scare you but I had surgery 7 weeks ago. I didn't take my suboxone for 6 days before my surgery. Btw, I've been on suboxone for 4 years. I told my surgeon I had been on subs. When I woke up from surgery, I thought I was dying from the pain. They were giving me all the pain meds they could but they did not work. They finally gave me a block threw my neck and it was a lifesaver for about 10 hours..

You only go into withdrawal if you take suboxone too soon after you just took an opiate. So if you do take them wait 24 hours before taking another sub or you will go straight into withdrawal.

I had shoulder surgery. I am and have been taking 1mg. of suboxone for years. My surgeon prescribed 30- 5mgs of percocet for post op. I called my sub doctor and he was not available, but someone else fielded the call and told me to take the 1mg. on the morning prior to surgery! As I was getting prepped for the surgery the anesthesiologist looked at my chart and replied since your on suboxone, the proper method is to start taking percocets 2 weeks prior to surgery. She further stated the percocets are not going to help you and you will be in a lot of pain....She was 100% correct, I suffered for nearly 2 weeks after the nerve block worn off! WARNING- IF YOU HAVE A PLANNED PROCEDURE YOUR SUB DOC SHOULD PRESCRIBE YOUR PAIN MEDS.....YOU SHOULD START THEM 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO SURGERY!!!!!!!!

I've been on 120 milligrams of oxycodone for almost a year now I've been taking opiates since 2006 almost 10 years now. I really want to stop taking opiates because they don't do anything and I know it will just get worse. I tried taking Suboxone for the last 3 days and I barely got by. I took 1 8 milligram strip the first day on the second day and a half a strip at 5 a.m. the third day. I tried it just to see if I could do it because I'm tired of taking opiates my body is exhausted and I feel run down all the time. Plus the opiates aren't doing too much for my pain. I don't know what to do should I take an opiate 13 hours after taking a 4 milligram suboxone. I see my pain management doctor in 5 days. I will probably just get kicked off my pain management anyway because I'm sure the suboxone won't be out of my body by then. Thank you in advance

this is false information. It will be 48-72 hours as long as you are taking the strips correctly.

Idk know what your asking, can you take Dr0s on methadone or can you take methadone on Suboxone? If your asking can you takes Dr0s on methadone yeah you can for sure, I used to take 0C 80s all the time on methadone. it didn't do anything for me. It was just a waste of money. same thing would go for Suboxone or tex, your not going to feel the Dr0s, only time sub or methadone is gonna make you sick when you take ops is for example, if you were a really heavy user and took opiates and you ere on cloud 9 and you took some sub it's gonna throw that off your dopamine receptors and throw you into withdraws, but methadone, idk if it would be as bad as sub, because I used to take 80s all weekend and start the methadone clinic on a Monday morning. I did that on and off for years, but the other way around, if you were to take anything on Suboxone or methadone it's not going to do anything but waste your money. Mixing methadone and Suboxone is uncharted territory for me but that's the only thing I would throw caution to, just because how they're both synthetic make ups and idk that's the only one i would say for sure wait a few days on, idk I could be wrong. Consult a doc on methadone and Suboxone together.

If you are taking suboxone and take pain meds for toothache, the pain meds will not work because naloxone is an opiate blocker. You will not get sick at all. You just won't feel pain med. If you take alot of pain meds you may O.D. That is why you don't mix the two drugs.

A year? Seriously? There are 365 days in a year and you are 363 days off from being correct. depending on how much and how often you take suboxone you may feel a slight effect 24hr later but 48hr is better to wait. I have been on opiate pain meds since late 80's first time but regularly since mid 90's. I have serious arthritis, severe spinal (neck and back) issues, hip, shoulder, knee problems which are hereditary but I also chose construction at age 15 and now at 50yrs old my body is so painful that ive laid there praying as tears flow from pain n just being fed up n frustrated from dealing w it. ive had surgery n 6 more are lining up now. I take 4 30mg percocet (oxycodone) and 2 30mg opana (oxymorphone) per day. still not enough. well.........back to beginning.......I usually run out just a day or two or up to a week early as the pain can be so sharp n severe that when it pinches which is many times a day I actually piss myself so I take 1-2 extra here n there. Well that if more than a day turned into bad withdraws so ive learned to buy 4-5 subs when around to have so thats how I know this guys one year crap is crap. If I only take 1/8th or 1/4 of an 8mg sub I can slightly feel an opiate 24-30hr later. At 48hr I feel full effect. For those taking 1/2-whole or even more per day of subs it will take 3-5 days. Just for thought.......depends on how much n long you take it, weight, metabolism, liquid intake, taking a multi vitamin, sweating. I have low body fat n high metabolism. I am a full charge battery. Fast paced. I took my last 1/4 of a 12mg sub at about 6:30am yesterday feb 8th. I just took 2 15mg percs n feel at least 50-70% of it. Not all but better if I had waited until tomorrow. dr appt sat so another 120 30mg percs n 60 30mg opana. I only take suboxone by the 1/8th of an 8mg to stop or prevent withdrawls. I wait and if needing more I take just a very small piece n wait again. The most at once is a half of an 8mg which stopped the serious withdrawls dead in 20-30min. energy. alive. alert. wanting to do something. happy. I dont suggest for anyone to take for anything but for withdrawls and getting off pills or dope and DO NOT OVERDO IT.they take more n more also n then u r just chasing that ghost n hooked on another drug. sub wdrawl can be VERY nasty n worse then the original perc withdrawl. ONLY WHAT YOU NEED TO NOT FEEL BAD N GET THROUGH WORK N YOUR DAY. Week off that s***. seriously. after 5-7 days you should b able to cut dose in half or more as the worst of your opiate wdrawls are over. example: taking a quarter or half of an 8mg sub on wednesday will still completely mask any withdrawls on thurs n poss fri depending on severity of your addiction n wdrawls. One using hundreds of $ of dope a day obviously wont make it on such a small dose of sub. often they need at least 2 whole 8mg subs a day. Most are to weak to say ok my worst wdrawls are over n its been a week or two so im gonna start weening down. drs need to start weening patients. my best advise.....just say no but if so then only what u need n then ween yourself. wtf is the point of taking subs n beating wdrawls n having control over it to only go back? Be strong. think. be safe. GOD bless. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. withdrawls are effed up!!!!
