Suboxone has an opiate blocker as well as buprenorphine, so taking other opiates with it will cause strong negative effects in the user. Like an alcoholic on antibuse, any ingestion of normal opiates/opioids with suboxone will be very unpleasant for the ingestor. There is no reason to take buprenorphine along with Lortab, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, methadone, etc as the primary function of suboxone is relief of opiate withdrawal symptoms. Taking opiates/opioids would, in theory, relieve withdrawal symptoms adequately and possibly produce the dissociative effect the addict is seeking. The other form of buprenorphine medication, known as Subutex, does not contain the opiate blocker, and therefore would not produce the same negative effects if the user ingested opiates/opioids with it, however, buprenorphine is EXTREMELY POTENT and should be used with caution, even if the user is experienced with opiate/opioid medications and/or heroin/opium.

# lorazepam and buprenorphine (Ingredient of Suboxone) (Moderate Drug-Drug) PROBLEM: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

It is widely given to patients at the Meth clinic I go to.
Im perscribed both so i dont care
Yes, expect increased sedation (obviously) What if I took 7 1mg of lorazepam a few hours ago and take 20mg ambien before bed. Will this be okay? I took my suboxone way earlier also..please let me know ASAP..thanks so much. S
I took 1mg of lorazepam a couple hours before receiving to injections of novocain, I was fine, stumbled a little from a head rush when I stood up.
Yes, it is okay to take NyQuil if you are taking Suboxone. I am on Suboxone and I take NyQuil; in fact I just took some yesterday.
You can take methadone after suboxone but do not take suboxone after methadone. If you have any opiates in your system and take suboxone, you will go into withdrawal......
No, if you take methadone, you should not mix it with suboxone. Make sure the methadone is out of you system before taking suboxone. Combining these medications can result in instant withdrawals and severe sickness.
Yes, you will be fine.
Either take one or the other. Never mix these 2
Suboxone does not show up in drug tests!!!!!!! YOUR FINE
you should probably not take it again, but always consult your physician in this matters, never trust some stranger on wikianswers.
Yeah you can definetly use the opiates the next today and it'll probably make you feel like the 2nd or 3rd time you've ever used
It depends on several different factors: how much suboxone you took, how long have you been taking it, and if you only took a suboxone once between taking pills: how high your tolerance is to oxycodone.If you only took one dose of suboxone (between 2mg and 8mg) you should be able to feel the full effect of the OC after 24 hours. After about 12 hours you'll feel some effects, but definitely not what you would normally expect from 30mg of OC. If you've been taking Suboxone for several days in a row, it would be difficult to guage how long it will take for you to feel the full effects. Suboxone has a 36 hour half life so it builds up in your system. The longer you take it and the higher the dose, the longer it will take for it to leave your system completely.
It is not recommended to take suboxone and methadone together within a few hours apart. You should give yourself time to get one out of your system before taking the other. Mixing methadone and suboxone can result in sickness and withdrawals.
