Subutex And Morphine Tablets Sevredol (Top voted first)

Updated

I'm on subutex, just started 2 days ago on 16mg! But I also have morphine. Can I take it or will I just waste it? I took the subutex at 9:30am, it's now 4pm. How long do I have to wait till it gets excreted from my system? Please help.

Hi lupalouise,

Based on my research, Subutex (being such a strong medication) has approximately a 72-hour half life. Basically, that means- since the time you took 1 (16 mg) pill it would take 72 hours for half of that pill to be voided from your body. After 72 hours, 8 mg of Subutex would still be left in your body.

I've read that it can take up to 27 days for (4 mg) of Subutex to completely leave your system, so considering the amount you've taken in the past couple days, it will most likely take quite some time for the Subutex to fully leave your system (other than a very minute amount). You may be able to speed up the process some by drinking lots of water (with lemon if possible), exercising, and eating plenty of fresh fruits and veggies.

Note: All thoughts and opinions expressed are based on my research and should not be mistaken for medical advice. I am not a doctor nor a pharmacist. all medical questions should be answered by a licensed pharmacist or doctor.

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Subutex Details

I hope this info helps!

It does, that's the only time I've ever took it. I was wanting to get off my pain med, but I didn't like the subutex and going to try to taper off pain med, it had been almost two weeks after I took it that I had to take a U/A at work, so idk what the results may be? Ty

I am taking 0.8mg of Subutex daily and my doc has just given me MS Contin 10mg to take twice a day. Will it take my sciatica pain away?

From what I could gather, there are drug interactions that apply to Morphine & Subutex (buprenorphine). Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of:

"Ask your doctor before using morphine together with buprenorphine. These medications are generally not used together. Using these medications together may reduce the pain relieving effects of morphine. It could also cause you to have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms if you are receiving prolonged therapy with morphine. Talk to your doctor about how to avoid withdrawal symptoms. These medications can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert."

That said, it sounds to me like the morphine may not work much at all if the buprenorphine is still in your system. My findings state that buprenorphine can be detected in your urine for up to 1-3 days after your last dose. Hopefully that can at least help you determine when might be a better time to take your medication in a safe manner.
