How long do i need to wait until i can take xanax after taking suboxone?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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!

Answer 4

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.
