How Long To Wait Before Starting Suboxone Film After Norco

I have been taking up to 6 x 10 mg of Norco per day and have tapered down to 3 per day. I am starting the Suboxone film and I'm not sure how long to wait? It has been 18 hours so far since my last Norco and I feel like crap with achy chills and exhaustion. I have been going through moderate withdrawals for the past week since I've been tapering down and I'm sick of feeling like crap. I'm really wanting to start the Suboxone but don't want to go into severe withdrawals. Is 18 hours enough or should I wait longer? Also, I am prescribed Adderall for ADHD. Is it safe to take with the Suboxone?

Hello, Sara! How are you?

You have to be in full withdrawal, before you can take Suboxone, otherwise it may throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals.

I didn't find any problems or interactions between it and the Adderall, but it's always best to double check to be certain.

The FDA classifies Suboxone as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, 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?
