How Long After Taking A Suboxone Can You Take An Opiate? (Page 7) (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.

You only get precipitated withdrawals while you're still.afdicted to the ORIGINAL opiate. Taking a pain pill once does not an adfiction make. Worst case scenario, you would feel nothing from the vicodin at all including ansgesia. I was treated in the ER and gave me IV morphone and even dif very little for my pain because i was on methadone at thate time. It's a scary situatiom. Say get in an accident and break your lef, there will be little that can be done for your pain. they give you enough to relieve your pain it could very well cause respiatory arrest. This is my primary reason for not believing in suboxone for maintenance. At least with methadone they can increase your dose for pain control. Wit sub, the ceiling effect may prent doing this.

Tommy C!! At last, the voice of reason! I refuse getting suckered into these pharmaceutical sponsored, money-making machines for addicts.....people ask why addicts go again & again. It's cuz Drs, centers, pharmaceutical companies, whatever, who prescribe an alternative but also rotten med, brings them repeat business $$$$$$s. Slowly cutting down off whatever, having someone giving you the lesser amounts daily if you can't manage it is the best way.

Carmine. You will only get sick if you take the hydrocodone or oxy first and than try to take suboxen an hour later. If u take a suboxen than an hour later u take a hydrocodone.it's fine u might not feel the affects of the pain pill and that's only thing. If u don't feel the affects wait longer. I know this by personal experience by the way. I hope this helps

I as well took suboxone an hour before being put under, when I woke up, I got my perception of lortabs filled and immediately took one. I had many teeth cut out. And I continued to take my suboxone as described and also took the lortabs whenever I had pain. I never got sick and for those wondering, I never got high from the lortab.. But as they repeatedly mention on this thread....everyone is different

Yo man I've been taking the same 8mg/2mg suboxone strip for about a yr as well...idk if you take the whole thing but I'm on Id say a 1/10 of a piece and have been able to take opioid within in the same day not getting sick at all but unfortunately it really kills the high, now as far as just relievin pain I'm sure it would be the same ordeal, helpful but not strong enough so I'd wait it out if possible to get as much affect as possible! Good luck & safe surgery man & just a reminder I dont take full strip just about a 1/10 of a piece

I sooooo agree, I've Bn trying to wean myself off of subs forever now, and I can't, everytime I think I'm done, I start gettn sick a week later, and I can't risk the anxiety attacks or missing wrk, plus taking care of my kids... I wish I wulda never touched a suboxone ever. It was way easier just quitting hydros... 3-4days of shutting, body aches, then it's over.. Long as there's no anxiety attacks

Sorry to say, you will suffer. I had shoulder surgery last August and was instructed to take Sub day before surgery! while in the waiting room a anesthesiologist looked at my chart and replied you should have been put on percocets 2 weeks prior to surgery. She was so right, the percs they gave me for surgery did nothing for the pain. I suffered for 2 weeks after the shoulder surgery.....Good Luck!

I read the messages throughout this blog and have to shake my head because of the misinformation and the lack of understanding of SUBOXONE and the misery people are going to experience when they plan to try and get off of it. First of all I have never taken a narcotic that has not been prescribed for me. I was on 120 mg of OC for five years and 8 mg of SUBOXONE for an additional five years. Both of these were poor choices pushed by pain management Doctors. SUBOXONE is 99.9% pure synthetic opiates with 2 mg of naloxone to keep your from overdosing and dying. Subs cause temporary as well as permanent brain damage. I started weaning in Oct 2014 and jumped at Henry Ford Hospital April 14, 2015. Today I'd December 29, 2015 and I am still in acute withdrawal unable to work or attend any family functions. The list of withdrawal symptoms are endless and he long term affect are horrifying. Subs are the strongest and most physically dependent opiate made today. The only benefit is you do not feel high. They are impossible to get off of and are known as "the life sentence". You will lose your memory and ability to cognitively think and reason. Never start this drug and if any Doctor prescribes it, run from his office without the script. It is a life sentence of poison without escape. I have written the FDA several times and they are afraid to address the issue. Any neophyte Doctor can prescribe catapress to get the opiate off the receptors but they can do nothing for the endless withdrawals and repairing the brain damage. Anyone thinking they are clean because they are on Subs has been badly informed.Now in my tenth month of withdrawals which are worse than methadone with no end in sight. I have been tolld this may last the rest of my life. The manufacturer refuses to respond to my questions. Their drug insert is full of falsehoods and double talk. This is a windfall for unscrupulous Doctors who prescribe it. Listen to YouTube and read other blogs about the misery this drug has created. If you stay on it you will eventually be fired from your job as your brain stops certain required functions needed to perform work. If you try to stop plan on not working for two or more years. The withdrawal symptoms are horrific and endless. Do not expect help from the FDA, the manufacturer or your prescriber. I am seeing a Board Certified Toxicologist, a Psychiatrist, and the Neurology Dept at the University of Michigan. WE are about to to start brain imagery and scans to determine the amount of brain damage it has caused. Best advise is to never start using SUBOXONE or any of it's other generic names. Eventually I will have to litigate with the manufacturer to receive the information I have requested about the trials, research and other victims like us. When I wrote the FDA and Rickett Banister I was close to suicide as a result of the endless painful withdrawals, they ignored my letter. Not including methadone, you can be clear of withdrawals from most opiates in days. Why take SUBOXONE and be stuck for life with a deteriorating brain and no way off? If any medical professional or SUBOXONE salesman tells you anything different, ask them if they have been on the drug. This little windfall for the Doctors and manufacturer is ruining millions of people's lives. The people who swear by it are not knowledgeable about the whole sequence. DO NOT START ON SUBOXONE.

I agree everyone is different. I take 8/2mg once a day. I developed kidney stones and I went to ER. They gave me Dilaudid in IV, and I felt it. It has only been 32 hours since the Suboxone. The only thing is, it doesn't last long at all, and they sent me home with Norco. I had to take a lot of Norco to feel anything, and even then it was just a little.
