I HAVE BEEN TAKING SUBOXONE FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS NOW AND ALTHOUGH IN MY OPINION IT IS THE BEST PILL EVER INVENTED, THERE ARE TIME IN WHICH YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE PAIN MEDICATION FOR SURGERIES, TOOTHACHES, CAR ACCIDENTS, ETC. I HAVE FOUNF THAT IT TAKE ME USUALLY 4-6 DAYS FOR IT TO LEAVE MY BODY WHEN I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT CONSISTENTLY OVER A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. ANYONE WHO ATTEMPTS TO TAKE ANYTHING BEFORE IS WASTING THEIR TIME. THANK YOU

∙ 14y agoYou have to wait until you're in full withdrawal from the opiate (at least 18 to 24 hours). If you take Suboxone on top of another opiate, you will have the worst, most horrible withdrawal symptoms you can imagine. You will get really, really sick.

∙ 14y agoYou should know that while on suboxone you have an (depending on your dose) often considerably high dose of opiods in your system, so if you then took a lot of opiate painkillers (which you normally did fine on) you would be at a greater risk of overdose. For me when I'm on suboxone (I get them from a friend, I've never been addicted) I'll already be feeling good from the suboxone and when I take even one pill of 50mg tramadol (which normally wouldent do a whole lot, just a mild contentment and feeling of well being) I feel a pretty strong euphoria.
Here is my answer from another question, in responce to a rumor that taking opiates while on suboxone will give you withdraw symptoms:
The previous author probably thought this because if you are dependent to a high dose of opiates (regular heroin use, high doses of oxycodone, very high daily use of vicodin) and you take suboxone it will knock the high level dose of the opiates off of your receptors and replace them with its own. For people addicted to very high levels of opiates this causes them to immediately go into withdraw, as the suboxone replacement will not be as "high" of an opiate dose as the person is used to recieving. This is a common rumor about Suboxone and I thought I would clear it up, but I believe it is important to warn people about taking Suboxone while they are already on, and dependent on, a high dose of opiates. The manufacturer reccomends that people who are used to high regular doses of opiates wait until moderate (not mild) withdraw symptoms begin to start taking Suboxone. Otherwise it will make you feel a lot worse, not better.
That probably gave rise to the rumor that you can't be on other opiates while on suboxone (I was a guinea pig for this myself, as I took pain pills while on suboxone unaware of the rumor)

∙ 14y agoYou should be able to take Tylenol or ibuprofen for pain.
If you are talking about opiod pain relievers, you should never take them again or else you risk a relapse of the addiction.
Suboxone has a half life of 37 hours though. So in about 2 days you should feel the affects of any opiod and then about 2 days after that you will feel more and so on and so forth till it is out of your system enough that it isn't even noticeable.

∙ 14y agoYou can take non-opiate pain medications while you're on Suboxone. Actually, you can even take opiate pain medications while you are on Suboxone. You won't get high from them, but they will still relieve your pain (you might have to take a double, or even a triple, dose of the pain medication, though).
What you can't do is the opposite: take Suboxone while you are on opiate pain medication. You must wait at least 18 hours after taking any opiate painkiller, before you can take Suboxone.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, but inform your doctor that you are taking Suboxone so that he/she can adjust your pain management drugs accordingly. you may have to partialy withdrawal from Suboxone before surgery so that you do not develop "precipitated withdrawals" from the introduction of another opiate or opioid for pain and/or analgesia.

Will suboxone show up in a Florida probation drug test?
Yes, suboxone is a opiate and will show in a drug screen for opiates. Suboxone is not an opiate. It is for opiate dependency its to help with withdrawal If you are prescribed Suboxone you have nothing to worry about in taking a drug test, I take soboxone an I am on probation, an they do not test for that, I am honest with them an tell them I take suboxone.
Can you takE Ativan and suboxone in the same day?
Yes, you can take suboxone and ativan together. Suboxone does not block the effects of ativan. However, taking too much ativan with suboxone, could cause respiratory failure. So, to be safe, stick to the prescribed dosages of both medications.
Does Suboxone help cover up opiates on a drug screen?
Absolutely the contrary will take place in that Suboxone will completely displace the opiates out of your system within one day. This stuff is a miracle drug for those serious about beating their demons with opiates as there will be zero withdrawls on day one.
Can you take Darvocet with suboxone?
NO OPIATE WITH SUBOXONE!! Read the info from your prescribing doctor!
What happens if you take Oxycontin while going through suboxone withdrawals?
No, you will not go into withdrawls, however, it would be a waste of Diluadid since Suboxone is an opiod-blocker and keeps you from getting high off of any opiate. But if you were taking Dilaudid and then immediately began taking Suboxone, THAT would cause you to go into withdrawls.
Taking suboxone and taking hydrcodon what will happen?
Nothing will happen? Do you know what Suboxone is? An opiate blocker! DUH! Shouldnt take stuff that you dont know what it is. Mixing stuff if you dont know isnt good either!
Can you take a suboxone a day after you used an opiate its been 2days off methadone but one day since a small amount of opiates?
They recommend you wait at least 72 hours before taking Suboxone. My doctor told me that I must be experiencing withdrawal symptoms before taking it, because if it is taken too soon after another opiate it can trigger really bad withdrawal symptoms and make it even worse.
How do you keep from getting addicted to Suboxone?
It's very easy: YOU DON'T TAKE IT! Suboxone is for the treatment of opiate addiction. Suboxone is itself an opiate, but it doesn't get you high, so you can quit getting high without suffering painful withdrawal symptoms.For example, a heroin addict who wants to quit getting high can start taking Suboxone instead of heroin. The Suboxone will feed the heroin addict's physical need for opiates, without getting him high. In essence, the heroin addict trades in his heroin addiction for a Suboxone addiction. He takes Suboxone, and now he is addicted to Suboxone, instead of heroin.So, anyone who is using Suboxone the way it is meant to be used (for opiate addiction) is already addicted to opiates. He is addicted to the opiate heroin, and, as soon as he starts taking the Suboxone, he will be addicted to the Suboxone.So, if you are asking how to take Suboxone without getting addicted to it, then you obviously are not an opiate addict. You are obviously asking because you want to use it recreationally. Which is illegal.Furthermore, Suboxone is a very poor choice for a recreational drug. If it does cause a high for recreational users, I can't imagine that it would be a good high, since it is specifically designed not to get you high. Suboxone is made up of buprenorphine (the active ingredient) and naloxone, which is a partial opiate antagonist -- it blocks the opiate receptors in your brain, so you can't get an opiate high.The drug Subutex is just plain burprenorphine, without the naloxone. Since Subutex lacks the opiate blocker, it is possible to get some sort of high off of it. But again, I can't imagine that it would be a good high, like heroin or morphine or oxycodone.
If you have taken suboxone will you feel a 30mg OC?
It depends on several different factors: how much suboxone you took, how long have you been taking it, and if you only took a suboxone once between taking pills: how high your tolerance is to oxycodone.If you only took one dose of suboxone (between 2mg and 8mg) you should be able to feel the full effect of the OC after 24 hours. After about 12 hours you'll feel some effects, but definitely not what you would normally expect from 30mg of OC. If you've been taking Suboxone for several days in a row, it would be difficult to guage how long it will take for you to feel the full effects. Suboxone has a 36 hour half life so it builds up in your system. The longer you take it and the higher the dose, the longer it will take for it to leave your system completely.
You failed for opiates for your iop class and you only take suboxone why did it come up as an opiate?
Suboxone is an "opioid." If someone sets his machine up to detect suboxone, it's going to list it as an opiate.
Can you get hogh on heroin if taking it 13 hours afyer 3mg of suboxone?
For starters, I wouldn't advise that an opiate addict take prescription pain medication while trying to get off of other opiates using Suboxone. Suboxone is used for opiate dependence and addiction, and should be used as part of an enitre recovery plan. With that being said, it should be fine taking the Norco after that much time has elapsed just as long as you take the Norco AFTER the Suboxone and not before. Taking Norco before can cause full blown precipitate withdrawls, and an individual should wait to take Suboxone until they are starting to withdrawl from the other opiates. Again, I advise that any individual on Suboxone should stay on it, so that they do not screw up their chances of recovering. You can do it!
Can you get high off suboxone while on naltrexone?
Suboxone CONTAINS Naloxone. It is subutex (buprenorphine HCI) and naloxone mixed together. The Naloxone blocks the opiate effect of the subutex, However, it still can be and is abused. If you are already taking naltrexone, I wouldn't advise taking suboxone on top of it. While slightly different, naloxone and natrexone are both opiate agonists. One is faster acting and one is longer lasting but too much of this type of medication will put you into precipitated withdrawals.
