Can You Take Benzos While You're On Suboxone? (Page 15) (Top voted first)

Updated

I've been seeing a lot of posts regarding taking benzos while on Suboxone. It is ok to take a benzo w/ suboxone - as long as you're taking the prescribed dosages you'll be fine. Now if you're taking 3 or 4 8mgs of Suboxone and say 5 or 6 Xanax that's not good, that's where the reported deaths have come from. I've been on Subs for 5 yrs. I've also been subscribed klonopin and am currently taking valium w/ it and it's fine. I'm on a low dose and only take what I am prescribed.

I was on 130mg of methadone for 3yrs for opiate addiction. Got tired of going to clinic every day. Wanted to switch to suboxone. They told me to wait 72hrs then start suboxone. I waited 4 and took 8/2 suboxone. Within 30mins was in the most horrible precipitated withdrawal. I wanted to die! The withdrawal lasted 3 days...I've taken a few xanax to ease my anxiety.when can I try the suboxone again and can i take the xanax b4 the suboxone? I'm scared it's going to do the same thing to me again, and I don't think I'd make it through that another time!

Immodium, although over-the-counter, is an opiate but one that does not pass the blood brain barrier. Therefore it provides no relief to withdrawals except to help minimize intestinal discomfort. It's good to have in your medicine cabinet while going through opiate withdrawals.

Hope this helps.

Suboxone is very expensive. it works though. but sucks when you taper off. once you start you become dependent real fast. people that take 3 to 4 subs a day are wasting 2 cause of the ceiling effect

Suboxone IS typically designed for pharmaceutical detox over 4-7 days and then no more....however many people still have pain levels above what OTC can dent and need something.....and Suboxone is a lifesaver for that. I did so much damage to my pancreas with alcohol use during WD's that I now need pain management above OTC offerings and the 12mg a day Suboxone helps tremendously... I still have a couple days a month where I have enough paid it is in top 3 things on my mind all day.... usually #1.....so at least once a week I only use 8mg Suboxone and over almost 3 years on treatment have managed to continuously have half a dozed 8mg pills as back up for those days I need more help. The best thing is they don't make you high and with Naloxone there are no cravings....I have not fantasized or romanticized opiates but maybe twice in almost 3 years and mostly I remember how messed up I and my life was when I was taking 30+ 7.5 Lorcets or Lortabs on a heavy day. I think over time more DR's will become educated about long term Suboxone treatment and for those with no ongoing pain issues, why not just take Naloxone by itself if you have no ongoing pain issues.....it kills cravings for me. Good luck.

Trust JESUS.. I was a junkie for fifteen years... Went to clinics, rehab, outpatient treatment, jail and jail and beyond counting jail, ended up in prison and I before then even knew what I was doing.. Looking with diligence; hoping any benzos or (cocktail) I could add to my addiction and say hey it's what the "Dr's say I need" and hand out excuses!!! You're not changing your lifestyle and beliefs, your changing your life to use and believe a legal lifestyle is the answer; that I'm telling you will end... With you ending up in prison, or back in prison, or dead.. And if GOD asked you that.. Alone.. Totally alone.. What do you believe...You know the truth....I've witnessed this to many times.. And thank JESUS I don't struggle with looking for answers that suit my needs.. Best of luck and GOD BLESS!! Most of all quit making EXCUSES... you're worthier than that!!

I think you have a dangerous doctor. Have you ever heard the term pill pusher? Very dangerous(speaking from an addictions nurse perspective.

Why tf have you been on suboxone for 5 years?! Clearly you have a bigger issue than subs and xanax... get some help and dont advise people to mix drugs let alone take them at all.

You're clearly a serious addict with serious problems. No one should take that much of anything. Clearly you are simply trying to find legal ways to feel high and your advice is going to get someone killed.

My doctor that prescribes the subs told my If I take my clonazepam he cannot give me carries, benzos are more addictive and dangerous than opiates. Combining opiates and benzos does have a chance of death.

1st of all u can't shoot benzos. They r not "water sol." Hospitals have liquid forms of it. That's the only way to shoot benzos. U can inject subutex. U cannot inject soboxone. Bottom. Line is that no of us are doctors, and if there is a gourmet where u have to ask. this question its probably dangerous

But now you are just addicted to a new drug. Suboxone is just another incredibly powerful and highly addictive opiate. Why do you sound so proud of yourself?

Your Drs are stupid!! If they even really know your on Suboxone I highly doubt they would give u that. That's how people die is by mixing that's how people die is by mixing benzodiazepines with suboxone. I've been on this stuff on and off for 13 years and never have had a doctor prescribed any of those for my anxiety. When he go to sleep one night and don't wake up, that's all that needs to be said. Take care of yourself before it's too late.
