How Long Do I Have To Wait To Take Suboxone After Taking Methadone For Two Days?
(Newest replies first)

I have been on morphine for about 7 weeks. I take about 100 to 200mg a day. I am about to switch to methadone in the morning. I am going to take 30mg tomorrow morning and 20mg the next morning. Then on the third day I plan on switching to suboxone. I only have 6mg of suboxone to take on the third day. But my question is, Is it safe to take the 6mg of suboxone 24 hrs after taking the methadone for two days,(30mg the first day and 20mg the second day)?? I'm scared to death of going into precipitated withdrawal when I switch to the suboxone, but I can't get any more methadone and all I have is the 6mg of suboxone. I'm ready to stop the morphine for a while. Rehab is not an option and neither is more morphine, I'm broke.

I’m not a doctor but I have come off pain pills after taking them for YEARS and you may be causing yourself bigger problems if you’re trying yo just come off opiates.
If you’re switching for pain disregard my comment, but if you’re taking suboxone to come off 7 weeks of morphine it’s not worth it.

Omg I would definitely not take suboxone with a fentanyl patch on!! I would not take suboxone for at least 48hrs after removing the fentanyl patch either! But if you are going to go to a suboxone doctor or clinic then you should just be getting an appointment and asking them these questions and doing what they say ! If you are like me and getting your suboxone off the streets because you have tried for years to get prescribed suboxone but live in rural area and no access to clinics so it's up to your own discretion to decide then I would wait you are going to feel withdrawal alittle when switching from oxy to fentanyl after being on it for so long your body is used to the oxy and oxy withdrawal is one of the worst personally but you cant be in that bad of shape I imagine not enough to risk going being thrown into precipitated withdrawal that taking suboxone to soon will do to you.

The suboxone will likely send you into major withdrawal! I would wait a couple days.

Re: Misti geary (# 4)

I know this is old but is subs or Methadone have such a long half life, why do I feel like death after 15 hours after my last dose of either but usually subutex?! Am I the only person on earth that metabolizes these like it’s nothing? It’s very frustrating. Btw I’ve never done H. Only a fairly crazy norco/Xanax habit in the past. If I would have known then what I know now, I would have sucked it up because kicking norcos isn’t fun but way worse than the helllll I’ve been through the past however many years (like 3 times as long as my doc Joy ride) on Methadone and subutex. Both great for treating serious addition problems but I was young and dumb and thought I couldn’t do it on my own. Which I know now I totally could have and I’d be a happy ish, healthy young lady today. This too shall pass, right?!

You mix all that and it's suicide! Someone needs to take all of it away and give it to you right. Morphine, Methadone, Suboxone all within a week. Uncertain death. May god protect you and keep you!

What if you took 5mg of methadone, when is it safe to take suboxone?

If you have only taken it for two days you will not have precipitated withdrawal. You should be fine to take it In 24 hours. Especially if you feel withdrawal symptoms which you will if you were taking that much morphine and took such a low dose of methadone.

So not take the suboxin after u take the methadone..u will be sicker then a dog..if u was to take the suboxin first then the methadone you.would be OK...but u need to make sure ur n complete withdraw before takeing suboxin.. And with methadone u might fe sick but its still in your system an can stay in your system for up to 30days..that's why its So hard for people to switch from methadone to suboxin .its complete hell..
