I have been taking opiates everyday. Yesterday I decided to start suboxone to detox at home. I took 12mg of suboxone too soon and went into severe withdrawal. I had to take more opiates to make symptoms subside. I've taken nothing for 22 hours now. IS IT SAFE TO TAKE SUBOXONE NOW?

Hello, Shannon! How are you?

No, you need to be in full withdrawal, before taking Suboxone, or it will keep throwing you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals.

The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, 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?
