You can, however it is not recommended. Pristiq is an inhibitor and prevents the Buprenorphine (active ingredient in Suboxone) from working as well as it should. Buprenorphine is broken down in the liver and the inhibiting action of Pristiq prevents the liver from doing its job in breaking Buprenorphine down. This is referred to as a "Side by Side Effect" of taking the two drugs at the same time. It's sad to say, but a lot of Buprenorphine Certified Physicians are completely unaware of this. Pristiq is not the only drug that will do this. Others include (but not limited to) Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Luvox, Lexapro & Celexa are all SSRIs, and Pristiq is an SNRI as is Cymbalta. You should discuss your Suboxone and Pristiq treatment with a qualified physician that is knowledgeable in the pharmacology and side by side effects of these two drugs to determine if the benefits outweigh the disadvantages of taking these two drugs at the same time.

Can you take klonipin and Paxil together?

How long should you wait to take Lortab after suboxone?
Time to wait to take Lortab after SuboxoneI have been on Suboxone for 11 months. I had to have surgery 4 months ago and was taking 6mgs. Suboxone per day. Before I decided to take Lortab post-op I discussed this with my pharmacist. I was told that one can safely take Lortab 3-4 hours after last Suboxone dose. I decided to go ahead and tolerated the Lortab very well. Conversely, the same time is needed to resume taking Suboxone.

Are Suboxone and Methadone going to show up as the same medication in a 12 panel Non - DOT drug test?
Suboxone will not but the methadone will show as an opiate. I would give the methadone a good four days to get out but keep taking your suboxone so you dont get sick. i have been on probation taking u.a.'s for about a year and have been on suboxone for the same amount of time. I take a sub the morning of my test and it shows clean everytime. just quit the methadone and you will be fine!

Is subexone a methamphetamines?
I have used suboxone before and it's pretty powerful stuff. Since soma is a muscle relaxant/CNS depressant, you should not combine these drugs.
Can you take amphetamines on top of Suboxone?
Yes. Suboxone is an opiate, a downer, and amphetamines (aka speed) are an upper. So the speed will get rid of the sleepiness that Suboxone causes, and the Suboxone will get rid of the jittery feeling the speed causes. However, taking both downers and uppers at the same time is bad for your heart, so be very careful not to take too much of either drug.
