Can you take Dilaudid and oxycodone together?

Answer 1

Yes, however it won't do much good so pay attention to the following caveats:

1) If you take the suboxone BEFORE the oxy, then you won't get much, if anything out of the oxy since the suboxone is already hanging on to the receptor in your brain. Buprenorphine, the active ingredient in suboxone, is VERY competitive for the receptor. That being said...

2) If you take the suboxone less than 24 hours AFTER the oxy, prepare yourself for HELL. I have done this accidentally and it causes precipitate withdrawals. What happens is that the Suboxone knocks t Oxy he off your receptor very quickly, causing you to go into some nasty withdrawals. If you have done this by accident, however, don't worry too much. You'll suffer vomiting for about 30 minutes and then about a day's worth of sweating, but you should be ok. Check with your prescriber.
Suboxone has a pain blocker in it so it would not do you ant good to take the oxycodone with it, not only would you not feel it but it could possibly send you into withdrawals.

Answer 2

The suboxone will block the effects of the dilaudid if it is taken first, but if the suboxone is taken after the diaudid it will quickly start to push the opiates from your system, thus making you sick. It is due to the naloxone that it contains.

Answer 3

Yes you can but it is pointless. Suboxone is meant to block opiate receptors in the brain so that you don't feel opiate withdrawls(EX. oxycodone;heroin). If you are on suboxone taking oxycodone would just be like taking a placebo. I have done it before...

Answer 4

You need to ask a doctor about this. hydrocodone is a very hard pain killer to your system. Sometimes just calling a doctor over the phone will answer this question. My husband takes hydrocodone and it is very powerful, so be careful what you take with this medication.

This is an awful, uninformed answer.

Answer 5

Well I can easily improve this simple "YES" that someone left. The TRUE answer is in fact yes---that is, if you don't want to feel the oxy or don't need it for pain. Suboxone blocks all your receptors and will not let oxy in. You may as well take that oxy and flush it down the toilet, or be Suboxone free for 3 days before taking oxy. If you regularly take Suboxone, taking an opiate will put you into immediate withdrawal syndrome. Not fun.

Answer 6

I wouldn't recommend it. Suboxone blocks the opiates...that's it's job. Also, when dealing with Suboxone rather than Subutex, Naloxone is also in the picture. They give it to people when they are overdosing to bring them down.

Answer 7

The Suboxone will block the effects of the oxycontin. You will not notice any of the effects of oxycontin.

Answer 8

Yes
