How Long Do I Have To Wait To Take Suboxone After Taking Methadone For Two Days? (Page 2) (Top voted 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.

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

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.

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.

My Suboxone Dr. Always says to wait 3 or 4 days if you are going to go back to using dope,that is to get the Suboxone out of your system.So I assume that you should wait the 3 or 4 days before you start taking Suboxone.They are afraid of accidental overdoses.
