It probably depends on your usage habits. For instance, you likely would not get sick if you were to take 1 or 2 10mg hydrocodone after a dentist's appointment and then take suboxone a week later. However, since opioids can accumulate in your body, if you have had a steady habit for a long while it will take longer for them to purge out of your system.

Suboxone cannot be taken with any other opiate because of it's blocking effects. When Suboxone is taken, it immediately pushes out all other opiates in the system and continues to push them out, this happens so the patient cannot use other drugs like heroin to get high.

For opiate addicts, it is not recommended to take Suboxone until you are in day 2 or 3 of withdrawal or taking Suboxone may cause severe withdrawal because it forces it's way into your opiate receptors and kicks out all other opiates, making you dope sick.

The buprenorphine in the Suboxone binds tightly to the opioid receptors, so tightly that the methadone cannot attach and have an effect.

You shouldn't. Make sure you aren't allergic to buprenorphine or naloxone.

What happens if methadone dose is high when switching to suboxone?

You will be VERY VERY sick if you still have methadone in your system. Wait at least 48 hours and 72hours if you can make it that long. Do not take suboxone before 48hours because the suboxone will send you into a type of severe hyper-withdrawal. Trust me on this....wait the 48 hours or more if you can stand the withdrawals. Good luck.


Can you take methadone for 4-5 days to help suboxone withdrawal or will this prolong suboxone withdrawal?

Do NOT take methadone to get off Suboxone. Taper off Suboxone over 10 days. Cut the pills in eighths if you have to. Taking methadone for 5 days will only give you 2 addictions


How soon can you switch from methadone to suboxone?

Yes, but ONLY after u have tapered to a 30mg methadone dose, THEN detox for 24 hours, and when u are in clear signs of withdrawal, then u can take a very low suboxone dose (1/2 a pill or so). if u do not do this, you will go through extreme withdrawal, which is 10 times worse than regular withdrawal. take my word for this, it is not something you want to mess around with
