Can You Switch From Methadone To Subutex

Hey guys I’ve been on methadone for 8 years taking 127mg I’m so tired of not being able to go out of town or do anything without showing why we’re and whatever else they ask for to show proof of why I couldn’t make it if my number is called while I’m away from the clinic it’s like I’m on Color code or something I am trying to figure out what I should do to switch to subutex with less withdrawals as possible because I work 6 days a week 10 hours a day and I’m VERY NERVOUS about doing this but think it’s time

Hello, Beth! How are you?

Many people have successfully switched, but you do have to be in full withdrawal from the Methadone, before you do so. A doctor licensed to prescribe Suboxone for addiction treatment should be able to help you discover the right dosage to help you.

The FDA does warn that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as dizziness, dry mouth, drowsiness, headache, and constipation.
