For what? It does work for both killing pain (for non-opiate addicts) and getting over an addiction to painkillers. I know several people who have successfully completed suboxone treatment and are very glad they chose it, although it is still hard for them.

No, Suboxone does not work as an anti-depressant.

Can I take doxycycline while I am on suboxone
If you've been taking suboxone for 4 days and you get prescribed Valium will it work?
Yes - as it does not compete with the same receptors that suboxone does.
I need a narcotic analgesic that will work with the suboxone I take for a medical condition. What narcotic should I ask my Dr. for that will work with my suboxone other than ultram?
If your doctor prescribes a narcotic while you're taking Suboxone, his medical license should probably be revoked.
I need To take oxycodone for a tooth problem how long do you need to be off suboxone for the oxycodone to work?
the half life of suboxone is 36 hours. So 72 hours would eliminate the suboxone from you entirely. But depending on your dose you could have oxycodone work sooner. Example if your mu receptors are not filled (2mg suboxone or below). But all in all you will have to wait a full two days before the oxycodone will work to your satisfaction, to my expierence.
I'm on 50mg of methadone for a month how long will it take for suboxone to work?
Will first you need to get off methadone or be on at least 5mg. And then the doctor can put you on suboxone.
Can you takE Ativan and suboxone in the same day?
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 work as a cdl a driver while taking suboxone?
Yes, suboxone really will have no affect in your daily life unless you take a high dose. Most people think you can get high from suboxone but you really don't, and if you do it won't happen again, everyone has their own opinion.
How long does it take for suboxone to get out of your system before a vicondin will work?
defeats the purpose but, if your on suboxone, you wont feel the pain killers no matter how many you take (because of the narcan), you would have to be off suboxone for 3 days at least before you can take any narcotics for pain.
Does Suboxone work if you swallow it?
Yes!! A very big difference, if you do not take it sublingually (dissolved under tongue) then you will not be getting all of the bupremorphine in your system. Just swallowing it will render the drug almost ineffective. Take the time to let it dissolve!!
How long should I wait to take a Suboxone after taking 7 days of Vicodins?
I guess it would be okay for you to take a vicodin after 48 hours of you not taking any suboxone. Suboxone has a long half life and that means it stays in your system for a long period of time. First of all, why would you want to only be on suboxone for a week? suboxone doesn't work in a week. And if it does work for you in a week then why would you want to touch a vicodin again??
