# buprenorphine (Ingredient of Suboxone) and Celexa (citalopram) (Moderate Drug-Drug) PROBLEM: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities. ----

Answer 2

im really not sure its really embarassing to ask your neurologist this question. but as a recovering pain pill addict i did take suboxone with 1500mg of keppra 2x daily and obviously im alive but i will tell you this i woukd lay in bed at night and feel like i was going to stop breathing but i didnt and it did help me to get off pain pills suboxone is a miracle drug in a person that's trying to get off narcotic pain pills. my advise is just don't take the suboxen near bedtime and you will be fine and start out on very low doses of suboxen i tryed breakin it into 8 pieces which means 1mg of suboxen

No matter how embarrasing this might seem, this is a question for your doctor. Your doctor is the only one that can answer the question, taking into account your situation. If you are embarassed because the combination was not prescribed for you, then you have even more to be concerned about, because mixing drugs without a doctor's full cognizance is extremely dangerous, not to mention, but I will, illegal.

Also, breaking a pill into more than two pieces is also dangerous, because you don't really know what you are getting, because you don't have a guarantee that the distribution of the drug is uniform. Some drugs have a break line - they are intended and certified to be split in two. No drugs have an eight way break line. If there are no break lines, then the drug is not supposed to be split. Again, talk to your doctor.
