Can suboxone test positive for codiene?

No, suboxone will not show up on a regular 8-panel test as an opiate or anything else. There is a test for suboxone, but it must be specifically tested for.

How soon can suboxone be taken after narcotics?

Before answering any type of question about medications, I would advise always being cautious when seeking any type of medical advice on the internet and always consult with your regular physician before making any changes to your prescription medications. The answer I am providing for you is for general information and should not be accepted as a substitute for guidance from a medical professional.

Your answer in short: it depends on what narcotics (opioids) have been taken and what their individual "peak onset of action" is.

This can vary greatly among the different opioids out there (heroin, Oxycontin/oxycodone, Lortab/Norco/hydrocodone, propoxyphene, morphine, fentanyl, hydromorphone, codeine, etc) . It is not generally dependent on how long the user has been taking the specific opioid as chronic use/addiction is understood as a requirement of this drugs prescription requirement.


Only a doctor specializing in drug-dependence in a regular medical setting can answer this question more specifically without risk of liability. There is also training required of physicians that is specific to this drug before the physician is allowed to prescribe it.


For general information, there are two known possible adverse events that can happen if Suboxone is taken to quickly after narcotic ingestion:


As buprenorphine, one of the two drugs that makes up Suboxone, is a mild opioid drug, it has the potential to have an additive effect of increased central nervous system (CNS) depression (as in, you could stop breathing, heart stop beating, etc).


Naloxone (Narcan) is a opioid antagonist (a "narcotic blocker" if you will) and can cause sudden and severe withdrawal symptoms (vomitng, seizures, agitation, etc).

Hope that helps and be sure to talk to your doctor.

If you take suboxone and Xanax will Xanax show up on urine drug scren?

Xanax (alprazolam) and other benzodiazepines can be detected with a urinalysis however they are not always tested for. The most basic test is a 5 panel test able to detect PCP, THC (marijuana), cocaine, amphetamines (including meth and ecstasy), and opiates (morphine, codeine, and heroin only). It is common for extra drugs tests to be added to the basic five panel. Benzodiazepines, oxycodone, hydrocodone, and barbiturates are most commonly added to the 5 panel. Except with very sophisticated and expensive tests individual benzodiazepines are not tested for so people only show positive for benzodiazepines.

What is visible recovery?

Visible recovery is the signs that a person is overcoming an issue, be it addiction, grief and loss, mental illness, or many other things that humans need to "recover", or "stabilize" to where their life was before the event or cause of their distress occurred.

When speaking about addiction, the visible signs of recovery can be a decreased use or total abstinence from the drug or behavior they were addicted to.

They might display a better attitude, and be more positive about the future.

Recovery from mental illness might mean being on a stable regimen of medication that the person is taking without issue-or a return to their "baseline" before the illness became unmanageable.

Recovery from grief and loss would perhaps be freedom from isolation- being more willing to share their feelings and loss, and become willing to talk with a therapist or person who has been through the same pain. Activities that the person used to enjoy before the loss might be back in their life.

Visible recovery is

(almost)always a positive experience for both the person recovering, and those who love them.
