Take Subutex And Suboxone Together (Page 2)

I ran out of subutex last night - can I take suboxone today?

REPLY

REPORT

I was on 25mg methadone for 8 years. I hated being chained to it. I walked of on 25mg and took percs to get through the next 4 days. on the fourth day I took subutex about 8 hours after my last perc. I felt fine. now I'm going to start my suboxone. I'm hoping 5 days off of methadone & 24 hours off percs the suboxone won't send me into w/d. I'm just glad to be off that god forsaken clinic. we weren't even allowed vacation doses. I had clean urines for 8 years but because I take adderral I was not allowed take home doses.The best part was I had private ins. so I paid $125 week to the clinic.

As long as you have before. If so go for it. If not, be careful. This s*** is dangerous.

I believe that you need to give it some time before taking a suboxone after being on subutex. The reason I believe this is due to the naloxone in the suboxone. You need to understand that the naloxone is quickly released into your brain and the buprenorphine comes next. Just like if you had opiates in your system and took a suboxone..Instant withdrawal!!!..So you need to at least wait 24 hrs before taking a suboxone after using subutex.. On the other hand, if you're taking suboxone..You can take a subutex at any time without having to worry about any withdrawal symptoms.

Bulls***. I was on methadone since '91 and went off cold turkey. Not nearly as bad as you said, but still bad.

Absolutely not not only will you feel sick the methadone is very strong the Half life is right up there with Subutex and Suboxone but the methadone stays in the bone marrow for months if abused heavily, One is a partial antagonist and the other isnt , You should never take those two medications together it will lead to precipitated withdrawal’s and possibly respiratory failure! NO !

I agree,I would not recommend methadone to anyone and I am a little surprised that it is used as a rehab drug. The withdrawals are the worse ever and it takes months to rid the body of it due to the nature of the drug.

I was prescribed that but they have lowered my dosage I'm on valume and I don't take it till afternoon but I shake and feel anxious and my anxiety is through the roof. I dunno if its because I'm not taking enough xanax or value or if it's the suboxone

Hello
Two things to remember. Subutex and suboxone differ its milligrams. And Suboxone does contain naloxone. Its purpose was to prevent overdosing as suboxone was a maintenance drug. Subutex is best used in a detox setting as you can overdose and tAking more than prescribe does not give you enhanced effects up to a certain dosage. You need someone to prescribe correct dosage of Subutex.

If you took one suboxone and then go to subutex 8mg no need to wait. If someone were to take suboxone in the a.m, and let's say next dose of subutex, it can most definitely be taken the same day.. the both are bup..naloxone in suboxone but basically the same..I work in a drs office for a psychiatrist..

Unless you are a medical professional you can not give advice on a dosing in writing. This can open you up to a lawsuit if something happened.

You stop talking HALF a day of what you are. You’ll NEVER BELIEVE ME UNTIL it happens to you... LESS IS SO MUCH BETTER!! From personal experience! I was on 16mg at one point and dropped myself to 4mg and feel better than ever!!!
