Subutex To Methadone (Page 4) (Top voted first)

I go to the clinic and get methadone but missed a day, so i took a half a subutex. Within 15 min it sent me into immediate withdrawal. How long should i wait to take my methadone again? Is it going to send me into worse withdrawal?

I wanted to know if I take subutex without the naloxone, can I take methadone? I've only taken 4 mgs a day for two days and am wanting to go to the methadone clinic! I'm out of my pain meds and this is not working!!! Anyone?

I used to take Subutex a few hours before opiates. It never put me in precipitatied WD. The thing is Subutex has never put me in a bad state of health/mind.... I take Xanax too..... But I've taken oxycodone 80's an hour after a quarter Subutex and it blew me away. You won't go into withdrawal no matter what. YOU ARE NOT WRONG. I used to take Subutex and then take Norco and it would make me feel great. Better to take em without subs but they still work.

2-3 days? You must not understand Methadone's half life. I just recently detoxed to switch to Suboxone. It took a month (give or take a couple days) for my body to not have an adverse reaction. Also, it took a month before I quit testing positive at the Suboxone doctor. I'm aware that everyone is different, but 2-3 days isn't even enough time to really even start withdrawing.

Well I don't think its so much that "we are all different", which of course is true. i think in your case, its more that the OPIATES are all different. Keep in mind, most opiate pills are prescribed to be taken 3 or 4 times a day. Whereas methadone is VERY long acting. liquid methadone at a clinic is taken once daily, holding you for 24 hours+. thats why the suboxone docs make you wait at least 48 hours before switching you to the subs after methadone. So it makes perfect sense that you would be fine going from roxys to subs in 8 hours. When the precipitated wd's happened to me, i had taken a really good long acting opiate (and PLENTY of it) and took the subutex at 8 hours. mistake.

Subutex shouldn't have put you withdrawal because it ain't a block

Hello, Rocky! How are you?

When has your doctor advised you to start it?

As I said, Subutex only contains the narcotic Buprenorphine, so you don't have to be in withdrawal to start it.

What specific issues are you afraid of? Perhaps I can help you by addressing those.
