It's not very easy to answer because it depends on the dose of each drug and how far apart they were taken, among other things, but it can last longer than 24 hours.

Mixing these two drugs is VERY dangerous and you should contact a doctor immediately if you have done so.

I have not experienced any except maybe some drowsiness which is more than likely from the xanax and not amplified all that much by the suboxone. Some say not to combine the two because they are both CNS (Central Nervous System) Depressants and can cause slow breathing and even respatory failure in extreme situations and medium to high dosages depending on tolerance and body weight. I have been prescribed both things however by the same doctor but both in very small dosages (4 to 8mg of suboxone per day and 0.5mg alprazolam (xanax in generic form) twice a day. It has never caused me a problem.

It is safe to taken one milligram of xanax 14 hours before taking any suboxone at all, which means absolutely no subs can be in your body. because the half life of suboxone is about 72 hours. it is never OK to take a xanax while suboxone is in your system.you would have to wait 2 days in order to be completely OK with it. many people i knew have died from accidental drug mixing. don't be one of them. please be safe!

It is not recommended to take any benzo including xanax with opiates or opioids, however doctors do prescribe them both at the same time to patients frequently so it really doesn't matter how long you wait after taking suboxone unless you are are going to wait until the drug is completely out of your system. I have heard of a lot of people taking xanax and suboxone at the same time, so I wouldn't worry too much about mixing them. If you are really worried about then it ask your doctor.

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??


Can i take suboxone 8 hours after taking oxycodone?

That depends on whether you are taking the morphine recreationally (to get high), or if you are taking it for pain. If you are taking it to get high, then no, it won't work. You will have to wait at least 36 hours, but probably more like 48 to 72 hours, until the Suboxone is out of your system, before you can feel the effects of the morphine. If you are taking it for pain, then yes, it should still work as a painkiller, even though it won't get you high.

Can you take a Vicodin while on Suboxone for a major migraine?

As long as you're not taking massive amounts of the Suboxone (like, more than two 8-mg pills) yes, the Vicodin will still work as a pain killer, even though you won't get high from it. You will probably have to take a double dose of it, though, or even a triple dose, depending on how much Suboxone you are taking. I am on Suboxone and last autumn I had a root canal, and the oral surgeon prescribed Vicodin for me, but I had to take double doses of it to get enough relief from the pain. I also had to cut my Suboxone dose in half (I was taking 8-mgs per day and cut it down to 4). Whatever you do, don't stop taking the Suboxone completely, because if you completely stop taking it you will have to wait until you're in extreme withdrawal from the Vicodin before you start taking Suboxone again. If you stop taking the Suboxone, and then start taking it again before you're in heavy withdrawal from the Vicodin, you will experience the worst, most horrible withdrawal symptoms you can imagine. You will get really, really sick.
