mixing suboxone and opiates

I realize this response sounds harsh, but I am sure you were made aware of the dangers of mixing suboxone and any opiate, the dangers of precipitated withdrawal and everyone is well aware that taking medication not prescribed to you is illegal and dangerous. Tramadol is addicting and is well known as an opiate. I am sorry you are in this situation.

DOES MIXING CELEBREX AND SUBOXONE CAUSE ANGER? WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF MIXING THE TWO?

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.

Hello all...My friend just called me from Florida, she is on vacation. She went with her mom and her sister and all of the kids. Her sister is addicted to pain pills. I am not exactly sure what kind, but she admitted to snorting them to get the quicker high. A few weeks ago, my friend went out with her sister because they had not seen each other since Christmas because of all the drug issues. Anyway, her sister told her that she had detoxed from everything and that she was done with all that.

The Naloxone in Suboxone is there only to prevent abuse of the drug, and nothing else. If the suboxone is dissolved and injected, then the naloxone comes into action, because it has a higher affinity to opiate receptors than the Buprenorphine when taken this way. It will "kick off" all opiates including the Buprenorphine and cause immediate precipitated withdrawals. Your son has nothing to worry about, except your wrath for doing something stupid.

I found a clinic near home that said suboxone can help minimize the withdrawl symptoms and wean you off of drugs. Well I started today, and I was wondering if it really is successful? Also, can you have 1 glass of wine while on suboxone. I know it is not recommended, however I am used to having 1-2 glassed at bed time to help me sleep....but I am scared to since I want to wake up tommorrow. I also am scared to take a flexorall muscle relaxer....

I am definitely fighting depression and used to be on fluoxotine (generic prozac) and am now on Wellbutin. I get constantly emotional and start crying out of the blue. I cannot seem to get a decent poo to save my life. Every 3 days I get a few pebbles. Every morning, my hands are completely numb and I cannot move them for a little while, I have to shake it out. Is there a circulation issue that is known with sub use? My doc called it "Carpopedal spasm.

Hi Casandra, welcome to the forum! Why are you asking this question? Are you pregnant and taking Suboxone? Are you taking Opiates? A bit more information will help us give you better advice. To attempt to answer your question, I believe that only certain doctors are able to prescribe Suboxone. I do not believe that an OB/GYN is one of them. I have no personal experience with Suboxone but other members here do. They will be along to weigh in soon.

Is there anyway that mixing alcohol with suboxone would cause my feet to swell up?

What if you are taking suboxone and try to take opiates within 24 hours after your last sub dose and of course you don't feel the effects of the opiates because the suboxone in your body blocked it? Do the opiates stay in your body or just get flushed out since they can't stick to your receptors?

I didn't mix them, it was 4 or 5 days before the script got filled

I am on suboxone prescribed by my doctor, well I resently moved out of town and found a new suboxone dr who has prescribed me all these medications to take along with taking the suboxone. I am soooooo scared to take what he has told me to take seeing all these horror storys online about mixing benzos and suboxone. Well if anyone can help me feel better or if they have had this experience also please post keep in mind I have never took any of these medications before other then the suboxone.

Even if you are used to it - it only takes the next dose to send you into respiratory arrest. And mixing with Fentanyl is worse - omg! You are lucky to be alive! No good dr would ever put you on suboxone, sorry. You need a dr guided taper and you need it now.

Hi there. I have no personal experience mixing alcohol with suboxone but my wife does. She was on subutex in South Africa and drank with no ill effects. However when she emmigrated here(to NZ) she was transferred onto suboxone. Apparently the naltrexone/naloxone disrupts the absorbtion of alcohol into the bloodstream and she could not ever feel the effects of the alcohol. I have also read of a treatment for alcoholics where they are prescibed daily doses of naltrexone for this reason.

I just took 10 mg of Ritalin to help me study. I know this isn't good, but it's what I've chosen to do to read my 100+ pages before tomorrow. I was wondering if it is safe to mix 10 mg of Ritalin with 2mg of Suboxone? I don't think it will put my heart under a lot of stress... I know uppers and downers are bad to mix, but I don't think such a low dose should hurt anything... Anyone know for sure? Thanks.

s again and get off the Suboxone for the surgery? I know Sub blocks opiates.. but dont know about the gas to make you go to sleep for a surgery. I am hoping for a nerve block to manage the post operative pain. As I want to really get the opiates out of my life, But my pain is soo bad.. I cant walk/shop for groceries, stand to do dishes and take care of my house and its effecting my sleep.

why did u take lortabs with suboxone? isnt that dangerous , to be mixing suboxone with opiates. But I think u will have to want to stay off the ultrams . besides if it has been 2 weeks u probably have already went through most of the bad withdrawls .

Are you taking subutex which is suboxone without the naloxone (the part that puts you into withdrawls if you abuse opiates on it)?? If so, I would suggest switching to suboxone and working your program. Contact your old sponsor or just grab a new one and start over. We all get more chances than we actually deserve so cease the moment hun and don't waste another minute on firing that ****. Maybe suboxone isn't the right way for you since you've been abusing it already.

7 weeks ago he went on Suboxone and started to take about 4 mg of klonopin and 50 mg of valium along with 50 mg of seroquel. 5 weeks ago, the doctor started weaning him off the klonopin and changed him from seroquel to trazodone. ( the valium was never prescribed..he just took that on his own ). On his own, he decided to increase his klonopin dosage and add seroquel back to his regimen.

From my understanding, the partial-agonist bupenorphine wipes the receptors clean off all opiates and would only causes precipitated withdrawals if you where going into withdrawal from a full agonist opiate. As you are going into withdrawal from bupenorphine, not methadone, it seems you would be safe. This is a guess and I would ask your doctor if this is correct. Again, I give a friendly warning about mixing your drugs, especially methadone. You are playing with fire.

It has such a high affinity for the receptor that it will block other opiates from binding, which is why other opiates are blocked while on suboxone. I do know that their are other opiate receptors, but I believe that the mu receptor is also the one that is bound more with other opiates as well. I don't know if taking suboxone allows the other receptors to heal, because I do believe that suboxone has some partial binding effects on the other receptors as well. I may be wrong.

There is absolutely no contraindication for the amino's and opiates. The amino's are natural and are produced by your body anyway.....I feel that you should be taking them Asap ---- THE BODY DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE NATURAL AMINO ACIDS. IF YOU FEED IT TOO MANY OF THEM YOU WILL JUST ELIMINATE THE EXCESS IN URINE.

if you take methadone how long after stopping before any other kind of opiate will work? i've been off methadone for about a week and i found a perc 10 last night and took it. i know i should not have done that but im an addict and i could not help myself. i thought methadone made it so no other opiates would work but i swear i think i felt better after i took it. was it all in my head or did it really help?

this is day 6 or 7 on the sub, 16mg also, and i have pounding killer headaches, but take heed and listen to these fine people here as they have suggested that 16 mg is way toooooooooo much sub to be taken, i've cut back to 6mg at 10pm & another 4 or 6mg at 10-11am, still have the headaches and the nausia, but i'm gonna cut back more of the sub, i'm just getting over a hydro addiction, and now i certainly dont need a subox addiction !!!

Don't take opiates while on suboxone....while you won't feel the opiates because the sub blocks them, they will still be in the system and if you do too much you can overdose. And you're not going to get high anyways, so DONT TAKE THE CHANCE.

God forbid.....DON'T take suboxone when your taking opiates......You will crash very hard and go through W/D's that you never thought possible. In fact....it's dangerous!

All i want to day ive tryed everyway possible to get of opiates, including cold turkey, methadone , short term suboxone, and long term maintance off suboxone, FOR ME being on suboxone long term helped give my brain Time to heal, and phycological healing, it lets you put your life together ;get up and go to work.
