Common Questions and Answers about Can you take suboxone with xanax
suboxone
I have to do this right this time.....What really works with the Suboxone? How long do I wait after I take my last Roxi? Can I take Xanax and sleep until I get into hard W/Ds then take Subs? I got a script for 10 Subs and not much advice.....who has done this at home? I AM LITERALLY DYING TO GET CLEAN!
My husband was put on Suboxone when he voluntarily went to a rehab hospital to get off Vicodin used for a year after a spinal fusion. He asked to be weaned off the Vicodin, but the Dr. told him he would take his Xanax away if he didn't take Suboxone. He did not want to take the Suboxine, but had been on Xanax for about 25 years for anxiety and panic attacks. He accepted the Suboxone. Over the next two years on Suboxone he gradually lost the will to live.
And I should have added, just because benzos are addictive doesn't mean they aren't your best solution, though taken as needed is much better than taking them regularly to avoid addiction and tolerance. And I'd also like to know what the difference is between Xanax and Klonopin if one shouldn't take benzos with suboxone, as they're both benzos -- maybe there is one, but it would be nice to know, I'd think.
I think you're telling me you have one doctor giving you the suboxone and one giving you the xanax. Maybe you can get the doctor giving you the xanax to just give you klonopin and "jump" stright over to the klonopin and take a bumpy ride for a while, till the klonopin reaches a steady state.
You should have never been given the xanax with your addiction in the first place and even still you should off been monitored safely off. You're just collateral damage now.
If a doctor says it is safe for you to take, milkthistle is known for cleaning the liver. That is not a mention so you would think you can continue taking vicodin and be ok, just letting you know, it never hurts to clean the liver with a natural herb (providing you consult with your doctor before using it). In my non professional opinion, until you can talk to your doctor ASAP, taper down on them both.
m like you - work a lot, have a 2 yo daughter, etc.. but you CAN do it. You have already weaned yourself off, so just take this holiday to do it - its the first 3-4 days, then it gets better. Really.
you can do it - i took 18 lortabs the day before i went c/t and i was a little worried, but it has not been as bad as i thought, but then again - i was SICK of taking pills to "live" - so you have to really want it bad enough.
I'd echo everything that MSDelight said & asked. I'd also add that increasing your dose of Subs will not result in less anxiety or more euphoria (there's a ceiling dose & you're past it). However, it will most likely exacerbate some of the nasty side effects that folks experience @ high doses of Subs.
I'd also echo pillguy's question about the Xanax. It's contra-indicated with subs.
i feel stuck right now in this darkness, i take norco because of pain and not to get high, i have fibromyalga, herniated discs, chronic pain but still i hate being physically addicted to this pill, i know suboxone does help with some people with pain as well with the withdrawel. please anyone out ther if you could help me i would appreciate it.
Use it only as long as you need to for the detox and stop. You can do this - I am glad that you are not going the suboxone route. Don't get me wrong, suboxone definitely has it's place, but you are going to w/d one way or another and believe me, the oxy withdrawal will be easier and quicker. Taper as low as you can and set your quit date - then go for it. Keep posting, we will be here for both you and your friend through the whole process and after. I am proud of you.
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.
Especially when the one suffering is just tuning the world out and feels like they are all alone. Try to be empathetic so he can open up more with you and let him know he can trust you with whatever he tells you. Maybe he will tell you why he uses more than he is supposed to. He might be trying to sleep it all away. That is definitely not a way to live. Actually, it sounds like he is not living at all letting the world pass him by. I am so sorry this has happened to your family.
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.
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.
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 may not be the best guy to talk with about pills because they were not my drug of choice, but i do know xanax w/d's are horrible and if taking a lot should not be c/t. Please be careful with suboxone, do your research, you will get a lot of feedback from others here on sub. Stick around and come up with a plan to stay clean. Since he will understand I think it's best you tell him. You are lucky to get support and have him helping you.
Only problem is that i realized i was running low on xanax and was afraid that i would take more xanax than normally b/c of the withdrawals and then run out of xanax and be in BIG trouble. So I took a 2mg suboxone strip on Friday Dec. 9th. took nothing the next day. on Sunday morning i took approx. 1mg of suboxone and then sunday night at around 3am i took another 1mg suboxone. then i didn't take anything until tues when i got a new script for norcos.
I can give you my experience with Sub and the effects it had on my depression. I agree, short tern it felt like it worked wonders. When I was on it I felt great. But here is the problem I experienced. Eventually you build up a tolerance to Sub and you do not feel the effects anymore. It is still working, and your opiate receptors are blocked, but the body will become dependent.
This is what my doctor explained to me, and I hope I am relaying this.
Please do a very slow taper with the benzo stopping c/t can kill you, I don't know about sub but I know all to well about benzo's if you want to p.
My husband is trying to detox with suboxone and we need to know if he can take it safely. Also, the suboxone doesn't seem to be taking away his withdrawls, he is antsy, has rls, hot and cold, sneezing, nauseaus, very very sick. He has been taking 24-32mg of suboxone and I thought that was a really high dose. He was on about 900mg of oxycodone a day, so maybe that has something to do with it? Anyone please help! Thank you so much in advance!
