Can you take buprenorphine and Xanax together?

Answer 1

No. it is unsafe to take any Benzodiazapine with Suboxone! It even says so on the Suboxone website. Not only is it dangerous but it has caused deaths in some patients. I also checked this out by calling the medical department at Suboxone and I was told that I was correct that this was the indication.

Answer 2

No, there is no buprenorphine in xanax. Xanax is alprazolam, while buprenorphine is a generic name for Buprenex, also going by the trade name Subutex or Suboxone when mixed with naloxone.

Alprazolam is a sedative/hypnotic in the class of benzodiapines and is used for the control of acute anxiety.

Buprenorphine is a schedule III opioid narcotic used typically for the treatment of chronic pain or prevention of relapse in opioid addicted individuals.

Answer 3

When people take Suboxone and Xanax together, they take these drugs to achieve a euphoric sensation from the Suboxone. Xanax increases the euphoric sensations of opiates that stimulate full opioid receptors or full opioid agonists. However, Suboxone is a partial opioid agonist. This means it only causes partial activation, and this effect causes the buprenorphine within Suboxone to ease cravings without euphoric sensations.

Suboxone does not affect mood, so it doesn’t create a higher euphoria when mixed with Xanax. This effect means a person trying to achieve a Suboxone and Xanax high will not experience the euphoria they seek. Instead, the drug combination affects the central nervous system to a higher degree.

Answer 4

It is unsafe to take any Benzodiazapine with Suboxone. There has been many reported cases of patients who have taken this combination who have died.

Answer 5

NO. It is VERY dangerous to do so. I had a friend who died from this combination.

Answer 6

No, they're two different things, and are not similar at all. Suboxene can come in a pill or strip form, 8mg; which is a drug given to people in rehab trying to quit heroin.
