can you mix suboxone and xanax

Suboxone contains an opiate blocker and taking it with norco or vicodin or any other opiate will throw you into precipitated withdrawal and you will become miserably sick and there will be no way to reverse it except time. Suboxone is part opiate, part opiate blocker. It should only be used when you are in full withdrawal from norco or vicodin or any other opiate and never in conjunction with. You would be very sorry to take it together.

The clinic should have a card that they can pass out that tells you what medications can put you into withdrawal and what can cause an overdose. I have one at home and I keep it handy. Good luck to you but my opinion would be not to take it.

My question is this...does Suboxone make you high if you take too many? Can you mix Suboxone with other pain meds and if so what will happen? What happens if you mix Suboxone with alcohol? My friend said that her sister and her mom got into an argument and her sister said, "Fine, me and Haley and Kelsy and Kassidy will just go to bed!" Well Kassidy isn't even on this trip. Then my friend went in to talk to her sister and her sister said Haley is about to go to bed...

I feel for you. Hopefully you found an alternative to the Xanax for anxiety if that is the issue. Managing pain and the issues of anxiety or depression is so hard and I'm sorry you have been going through this. I'm here to talk to you if you need it. sending you hugs.

Why in the world have you been on suboxone for 3 years? And why are you taking Xanax while you are on Subs? Taking benzodiazepines with opiate drugs is a dangerous thing to do. That combo can cause severe respiratory depression and in some cases- especially with Buprenorphine- a reaction resulting in voluntary respiratory failure.

seizures. Clonidine is actually a blood pressure medication and if you are taking it, make sure you are monitoring you blood pressure regularly. I didn't w/d off benzos. My doc was opiates. but, clonidine worked well for my anxiety, restlessness, and heart palpitations when I was detoxing. I took 0.1mg every 8-12 hours (depending on severity of my symptoms). I only needed it the first 3 days. Benzos take longer to detox though. Please at least let your doctor know what you are doing.

hi, I have been on suboxine since June. I had taken xanax for 20 yrs. The suboxine dr told me that xanax & klonopin are the worst to take with sub's. You can take to much xanax & pass out and poss die. Especially xanax in large quanties. Beleive it or not my sub dr gave 2mg valium for anxiety. In my drug yrs I would have taken 40,50 mgs a day of valiums, always got them off the street, xanax i had a script for.. Now I take 2 mgs 3 times a day.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is.. I have to agree with SunnyOne, somthing else was going on. Most people do not die from 3 xanax. Also The mgs of it would play some part. Most Dr's do not give more than the 1mgs. Was he taking other drugs with it. xanax can kill you if you mix it with the wrong meds. Just one can kill you.

I'm sure you are working with the doctor that perscribes the suboxone for you but I can tell you it is possible...I'm sure you have to go a little slower in reducing the suboxone when youre pregnant...but you should be able to be off of it by the time you have the baby. My job is substance abuse and we detox people off of suboxone all the time..while it is difficult and doesnt come without some pain....I commend you for doing this for your baby! Hang in there and stay strong!!

I don't know about the ambien but I think you will be ok to stop the Zs without seizures. If you havent been one to take a bunch at a time. I have known people to take 20 or 30 at a time for several days of the one mg. They have to worry. If you havent been abusing you will probably be ok. Have you told your doc you want off them? I thought being on the suboxone you wouldn't be perscribed all the other. How much Suboxone do you take?

Not to scare you but when you mix those drugs xanax and roxis things can go wrong and you most certainly can die. With that being said. Ive taken roxis and xanax at the same time and Im here now. I have to thank the big man up stairs for that. Tell that person suboxones not the way to go. Read posts on it please. Quiting is the way to go.

Try to take long walks with your daughter and son, laugh and smile as much as you can, eat healthy, stay hydrated, take vitamins. Keep me updated, I am here for you. Good luck and stay well.

t take Xanax with it because they are both respitory depressants and you COULD die if you mix respitory despressants i am not saying you will die but you could. Just call your doctor. I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU ASK A DOCTOR RATHER THAN A FORUM. THE ONLY REASON I KNOW THEY ARE BOTH RESPITORY DEPRESSANTS IS FROM HEATH LEDGER'S the actor WHO JUST DIED. I am on Sub know and only take a 1/4 of a pill when i feel the w/d and the past 2 days it lasts me all day BUT EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT.

As I explained in another post, I am studying to be a substance abuse counselor and mixing drugs causes the synergistic effect. For example, if one xanax equals one beer and you drink one beer, one would think that the effect would equal 2 beers. WRONG! "stacking" narcotics and tranquilizers is VERY dangerous due to the this effect. Drinking and taking Sub CAN be very dangerous but then again ask your doc.

I have no medical proof but ican tell you it must.

25mg of xanax for a short time and it was fine. The danger with xanax and suboxone is when the xanax is abused and taken at much higher doses, so I would not recommend doing that. I guess the question I would ask is do you really want to be clean? If so, keep working with your doctor, follow his instructions and take the subutex as directed - stay away from the other pills. Get some other support through an NA meeting or from others on this site.

im on xanax, adderall, & suboxone... My pharmacist said I should try to avoid taking xanax & suboxone at the same time but its fine if there a couple hrs apart, & not to take them together at night time. Its hard on your heart/body when you take uppers & downers together.

With the amount of oxy he was taken sub might not work, the dose can only go so high and then it actually acts as anti-opiate, the oens used in overdoses, whereas methadone is a full agonist and you can go higher and higher whatever you need to make you comfortable and stable. both give you a mild buzz, and both are complete hell to get off of. sub is just as hard no matter what anyone else says. its just as hard as methadone, its opiate withdrawal times two months. it *****.

Yes, I also know that dogs can take Xanax......The dose you prescribed is the perfect dose for a 13lb. dog! Hope that clears some of this up!!

ive been on suboxone 8 mgs 2 years 3 times daily and been on xanax for a while and i know my tolerence is sky high ....my xanax which i take 1 mg 4 times daily isnt workin have to take 5,6, then i run out a week before my refill and suffer.. its like a ritual ....i know its a high dose for a long period of time but ....i think the next step is gettin off them.....im new here thanx for listening...or reading rather...write back please ...

I know you are not supposed to drink on xanax and its new years I took a xanax at 5:30 and its 7:45 now I took one shot and said to myself I'll wait till later to drink more until the xanax wears off and I can usually down 10-12 shots of vodka and not get hung over after one shot I felt buzzed so I think its safe to say I should wait till about 10:30 - 11:00 to start drinking is it dangerous to even have one shot while on xanax??

im 26 yrs old with a family of 4. What are opinions and what do i do? I think i can handle detox from vicoden on my own.. but xanax?? ive tried to wean off of both but always return to same amount.. and i feel if i stop cold turkey then no more use will occur..

Hey, I have no idea about the sub, but I can tell you about benzos. Is there any way you could see a dr and talk about your plan to taper? See the mean thing aabout xanax is that it's a short acting benzo, so if you could make the switch to a long lasting one like Valium, that would be easier for you to taper. In general, you taper 20% of the actual dosage/month. Fortunately you didn't take them for too long so it shouldn't be that bad.

I could have died or had other complications..how long have you been on sub..and how long have you taken xanax..you should not go cold turkey off of xanax at all!!!!!! very serious..

was on klonpin 11 yrs prior to xanax.. but just methadone and xanax since 04...i know about the mix or my combo vey well on very low doses of each..the xanax 0.5 5aday..methadone 10 mgs aday..was at 1 time 160 mgs i detoxed at home 2 yrs ago..got away from it 45 days then back at the dose im at..now the questshion?? my shrink has added lamictail to my combo,,i asked him if it would had any further respatory depression..he just kinda nodded his head..wating oin his nest 8 min patient..
