Safe To Take Subutex During Methadone Withdrawal?

I've been taking a high dose of Methadone for the last 5 years around 100 mg. My last dose was Sunday of Methadone, and I went to the hospital last night and they gave me 8 mg of Morphine. I now have my prescription for Subutex 8 mg tablets. So I have been in withdrawal from Methadone for 4 full days, and its been over 12 hours from taking the Morphine. Am I safe to take Subutex? I have been in serious, serious withdrawals, reason why I was in the hospital... It took 2 & 1/2 things of fluids to get me hydrated again, I was experiencing it all. Throwing Up, Diahrrea, hot/cold flashes, chills, runny nose, pale, couldn't hold anything down "NOT EVEN WATER", muscle spasms, crawling skin s***, all of it. You think its safe for me to take Subutex now?

Hello, Tony! How are you?

You don't need to be in withdrawal, before taking Subutex, it doesn't contain the ingredient that neutralizes narcotics.

This is a narcotic analgesic, 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?
