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.

No, you will not get sick. As long as the Suboxone is out of your system you will not feel any withdrawal symptoms.


What is the lowest dose of methadone not to feel sick when taking suboxone?

Methadone and Suboxone should not be taken together. Mixing these medications will cause severe withdrawals no matter how much of each is taken.


Should you wait before taking Methadone after taking Suboxone?

Going from methadone to Suboxone will make you sick. Going the other way will not make you sick. However, long exposure to the narcotic antagonist in Suboxone will have made you far more sensitive to opiates like methadone. There is a good chance of overdose. The methadone should be phased in slowly, starting with much lower doses than normal. A better idea: get detoxed from the Suboxone if necessary, and get REALLY clean. Why go from one addiction to another? Addicted is still addicted. Don't you want to be free of all that?


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 a half of a suboxone early yesterday morning and want to know when would be a time to take my methadone?

You need to give at least 36 hrs to let methadone leave your body or else you will get very very very sick!


What happens if methadone dose is high when switching to suboxone?

You will be VERY VERY sick if you still have methadone in your system. Wait at least 48 hours and 72hours if you can make it that long. Do not take suboxone before 48hours because the suboxone will send you into a type of severe hyper-withdrawal. Trust me on this....wait the 48 hours or more if you can stand the withdrawals. Good luck.


After taking 12 mg of Suboxone how long should you wait to take 20 mg of Methadone?

at least 24 hours I would say at least 24 hours. The longer you can wait, the more (and better) you will feel. I just switched over from Suboxone to Methadone 2 months ago & didnt really "feel" the methadone for about 3 days. I waited roughly 24 hours between doses because of all the "horror stories" I have heard, and I didnt get sick at all. Methadone and Suboxone are a strange thing when it comes to what to take first and vice versa. I was on 110milligrams of methadone and had to stop altogether without weaning because a broken down car. Nine days later I took 16mgs. of Suboxone at a new clinic and was deathly sick for two days. This is because methadone is a full opiate while Suboxone is a partial opiate. So if you take Suboxone and then Methadone, you will either feel the methadone or feel nothing(depending on your Suboxone dose) BUT if you take Methadone,especially for a long period of time, and then take Suboxone, God have mercy on you, it can throw you into AWS(Acute Withdrawal Syndrome) and its like a flu times 10 with insomnia


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!


How do you know if someone is putting suboxone in your food when on methadone?

it would make you very sick,,,throw you into withdraws...thats what its job is


When withdrawling from methadone when do you start taking saboxen?

It depends how many Mg of methadone you're on & how long you've been on it. You don't want to take suboxone for about 3 days from the start of the withdrawal symptoms. If you start the suboxone before then, it will make you sick.
