You can take opioids such as morphine and diamorphine with a low dose of dimenhydrinate (Gravol), but dimenhydrinate's active metabolite, diphenhydramine, is a CNS depressant; therefore, the combination of opioids and H1 receptor antagonists -being 1st generation antihistamines and other anticholinergic drugs- can definately increase the respiratory depression associated with opioid analgesics.
Methadone and dimenhydrinate is particularily more dangerous than most opioid combinations, this is because of the cumulative effect that methadone is notorious for, as well as methadone's high rate of respiratory depression.
Now, with buprenorphine, the active component in Suboxone, your respiratory depression rate is significantly less than with most other opioids because of the ceiling effect.
In light of these factors, my answer would be that it would be relatively safe to take a small dosage of dimenhydrinate with Suboxone.
The dosage taken would be relative to your dose of Suboxone.
Combining sedative/depressant drugs is never necessarily safe, however, if you know how your body reacts to the drugs in question, and you are sure that you are taking doses within your safety-range, then buprenorphine and dimenhydrinate can be a very safe combination despite their synergy of effects.
An example of a safe dosage in my scenario is as follows, I currently take 8mg Suboxone SL/PO daily and often safely take 25mg-50mg dimenhydrinate with multiple doses of GABAergic herbals through the day. Sometimes these doses taken with a few glasses of wine before bed.
Remember that Suboxone is very potent, 8mg being equal to a daily dose of 120mg morphine. Base your judgement on knowledge of the chemicals as well as your own body and always be safe.

Yes, you can take suboxone and ativan together. Suboxone does not block the effects of ativan. However, taking too much ativan with suboxone, could cause respiratory failure. So, to be safe, stick to the prescribed dosages of both medications.
Can you take klonipin and Paxil together?
Yes, you can take them together. My doctor has me on both at the same time, but not to get high! Your doctor will probably keep you on a small dosage of klonopin while you are on suboxone, but you CAN take them at the same time.

Would not be recommeded as they are in the same class of drugs known as h1 inhibitors. If you feel the need for both it might be time for a trip to you doctor.
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!
Can you take over the counter Tylenol with Suboxone?
Plain Advil (ibuprofen) and plain Tylenol (acetaminophen) may be taken with Suboxone without concern for drug interactions. Read and follow all package instructions on the over the counter products. Take Suboxone only as prescribed.
