Can you take Strattera and suboxone together?

Answer 1

I wouldn't suggest it. But the fact that you're asking leads me to believe that you have been using Adderall in combination with an Opiate. If that combination works for you, then Suboxone would not be much different. Both drugs, however, increase your blood pressure significantly and can cause serious long-term problems. Then again you know that if you have a reason to take Suboxone. Be careful and avoid taking them together if possible. And try to eat healthy if you don't want permanent Hypertension!

This is a very dangerous and addictive combination, do not try this under any circumstances! The effects on your heart could be fatal.

I somewhat agree and disagree, I have been prescribed both by not only my doctor in Maine but since I moved to Georgia my doctor down here kept me on the same. but at the same time it is true if you have an addiction problem which is more than likely why your on the suboxone. Than you do need to be careful if the adderrall is not prescribed and being watched by a doctor. Alot of drug abuse doctors do try to find an underlying cause for the addicts abuse like add,adhd,depression.... Remember that everyone is going to give you a million different answers and please be careful.

I have personally used suboxone and I currently am prescribed adderall. First off you should be aware that adderall is an upper, like speed or meth, but not to the severe degree. Second, Suboxone is mainly prescribed for opiate withdrawl... so you are looking at a downer. Taking them together will actually negate any "high" you are trying to attain, since suboxone will bind to opiate receptors in the brain causeing you to lose your high. NEVER take Suboxone unless you are trying to quit using drugs. It is very effective as an alternative to Methadone in treating heroin addiction, or opiate addiction. I hope that helped.

Yes, you can take adderall and suboxone together. I am presribed both and have had no adverse reactions. P.S. My prescriptions are legal, so if you are mixing Subs. and Adderall you would be better off asking a pharmacist

Answer 2

Yes, they can be taken together. There are no significantly dangerous drug interactions. However, it is important to follow the directions EXACTLY as prescribed, because of 2 reasons.

1. Both drugs are HIGHLY ADDICTIVE and commonly abused, and each alone can be extremely difficult to overcome, but together, if addiction sets in for both, the addiction is twice as hard to kick.

2. Adderall is a stimulant, and suboxone is a depressant, like opiates, and can cause a "speedball" effect, meaning your heart is trying to speed up and slow down at the same time. This is not healthy overall, but with a good heart, and Dr. prescribed dosages, the two medicines can be taken together without significant danger.

Answer 3

Yes you can, but some doctors won't prescribe them together because of the dependence risk.
