Yes, but ONLY after u have tapered to a 30mg methadone dose, THEN detox for 24 hours, and when u are in clear signs of withdrawal, then u can take a very low suboxone dose (1/2 a pill or so). if u do not do this, you will go through extreme withdrawal, which is 10 times worse than regular withdrawal. take my word for this, it is not something you want to mess around with

If you are on 100mgs of methadone is it ok to switch to suboxone?
Absolutely not. a Suboxone dr. won't even see you. You need to get your methadone dose down to 30mg. Then they want you off methadone for 3 days before starting Suboxone. They want you in the beginnings of w/drawals. The chemicals in Suboxone will pull the methadone out of it's receptors but not replace it right away, so the receptors remain empty and you get sick.

Can you take methadone for 4-5 days to help suboxone withdrawal or will this prolong suboxone withdrawal?

Does Suboxone and methadone work the same I am on suboxone but it is so expensive and methadone is very cheap so I was just curious if the were the same It Is a fe 100 price differenc?
mETHADONE AND sUBOXONE ARE 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DRUGS. tHE ONLY SIMILARITY IS THE FACT THAT THEY ARE BOTH OPIATE BLOCKERS. SUBOXONE IS A COMBO OF NALAXONE AND BUPRINORPHINE AND METHADONE IS,WELL, METHADONE. mETHADONE WILL GET YOU VERY HIGH AND IN MY OPINION LEADS TO USING OTHER DRUGS IN COMBINATION WITH IT. AFTER TAKING SUBOXONE FOR A WEEK YOU WILL NOT GET A BUZZ OFF OF IT ANYMORE AND YOU ARE OPEN TO HAVING A NORMAL LIFE AGAIN WITHOUT THE CONSTANT CRAVINGS FOR OTHER DRUGS. METHADONE IS JUST AN EASY SUBSTITUTE FOR HEROIN OR OTHER STRONG OPIATES. YOU GET JUST AS HIGH, IF NOT MORE SO AND YOU STILL CANNOT FUNCTION AND HAVE A REGULAR AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE THAT THE SUBOXONE PROVIDES.
