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.

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.

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.
