Yes, almost. Buprenorphine is sold in two forms: Suboxone and Subutex. The difference between them is that Suboxone has naloxone added to it. Naloxone is a partial opiate antagonist, meaning that it blocks the opiate receptors in your brain, so you cannot get high from either taking too much Suboxone, or from taking other opiates on top of the Suboxone. Subutex does not have the naloxone in it, so it is possible to take a lot of it and get high on it (it's going to be a crappy high, though...you're really better off taking hydrocodone or oxycodone, if you wanna get an opiate high), or to take other opiates like heroin or oxycodone on top of the Subutex, and get high from them.

∙ 12y agoAbsolutely not. The active drug in heroin is "diacetyl-morphine", whereas the active drug in suboxone is buprenorphine. You can view both heroin and suboxone as "brand-names" or "trade-names" (but for some reason, the brand-name "heroin" has stuck for almost a century). However, these drugs do belong to the same class of drugs (opiates/opioids) and target the same area in the brain. Although they have significant differences from each other. Heroin is a very short acting semi-synthetic opiate and is also a full agonist at mu-opioid receptors in the brain (meaning it perfectly and effectively "plugs into" these receptors, causing the "high"). While conversely, buprenorphine is a very long acting synthetic-opiate (opioid) and is not full agonist at mu-opioid receptors but a partial agonist (which means it doesn't perfectly fit into these opioid receptors, causing less euphoria at higher doses relative to "full" agonist agents like heroin. The partial agonist action also creates a basic "ceiling limit" in which taking more buprenorphine will not increase effects).

∙ 14y agoSuboxone and Methadone are different from one another but they both are used to treat opiate addiction and should not be taken together.

Will cocaine and methadone show up the same as opiates?
cocaine does not, neither will methadone or suboxone.
Will suboxone create a false positive for methadone?
No, each requires its own specific test. Methadone will only show up as methadone and suboxone will only show up as suboxone.
Is Suboxone speed?
No, Suboxone is an opiate, in the same class as opium, heroin, morphine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, methadone, codeine, etc.
Are Suboxone and Methadone going to show up as the same medication in a 12 panel Non - DOT drug test?
Suboxone will not but the methadone will show as an opiate. I would give the methadone a good four days to get out but keep taking your suboxone so you dont get sick. i have been on probation taking u.a.'s for about a year and have been on suboxone for the same amount of time. I take a sub the morning of my test and it shows clean everytime. just quit the methadone and you will be fine!
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.
Can you take methadone right after suboxone?
can you take methadone after taking swuboxone
Is methdome and suboxone the same in a urine screening?
No, methadone only shows up as methadone and marijuana appears as THC on a drug test.
Can you take methadone for 4-5 days to help suboxone withdrawal or will this prolong suboxone withdrawal?
Do NOT take methadone to get off Suboxone. Taper off Suboxone over 10 days. Cut the pills in eighths if you have to. Taking methadone for 5 days will only give you 2 addictions
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.
How is opiate withdrawal treated?
Two basic treatment approaches are used for managing opiate withdrawal. The first involves treating the symptoms of the withdrawal with appropriate medication
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.
Took 10 mg of methadone and still sick can you take suboxone?
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.
