Is It Ok To Take Vicodin With Suboxone? (Page 4) (Top voted first)

Hi. I am having a procedure done and am being prescribed vicodin. I am currently on suboxone. I WILL NOT take the vicodin unless I am in excruciating pain. Would suboxone help with the pain? And if I do have to take the vicodin how long should I wait to take it after taking suboxone? THANKS!

No it will not help at all. You will get more relief out of ibuprofen then out of any real good prescribed pain med. I've been on sub for a long while now and when I'm in pain I take a couple Anacin and a couple Ibuprofen and it usually helps a lot.

I have been on Suboxone for a couple years but when I was pregnant I was put on it. When I went into labor they had to do an emergency C-section, I already had an epideral so I had no trouble thru the surgery but once they took that out I was in excruciating pain. They had me on a morphine drip but I couldn't feel any of it till 37 hrs later I could finally start to get some relief from the moriphine. So if you see that you are going to have to take pain mess for any reason, start to ween off of the suboxone as soon as you can cause it will take time for you to be able to get that out of your system enough to feel anything else.

How long does it take to get off suboxone. A tapering program or just so advice would be appreciated. I've been on suboxone for one and half yrs. Went from two strips every day to one strip to 1/2 strip to 1/3 strip per day in 2 months in an attempt to taper off. 2/3 days later and I feel like Im in withdrawal all over again.

tapering has to be such a slow process or withdrawal is what you will go though they told me 18 months just to tapper and get off this suboxone which i didn't know this is what i signed up for when getting on this meds i have also been on this foe 1 1/2 years and am ready to tapper my doc said they do it very very slow so no withdrawals are felt good luck

I've been on sub program for a year, I had a painful out patient procedure yesterday and stopped taking sub the night before. I had a script of Vic and it is helping w pain but if you're worried about feeling everything during ur surgery BC of sub's Dont worry about that. As long as u tell the drs everything in advance you will be fine. I've had five surgeries since being on program. Good luck to u :)

I have been on suboxone for 3 months down to 0.25mg a day almost done. But I had some female problems and my doctor gave me vicodine I took 2 today for pain and it worked. Now I just hope I don't have withdrawal from the suboxone.

I had a medical procedure where i had to go under for a few hours. The doctors have the drugs to override suboxone.(they didn't tell me what it was) When i was in post op i felt fine, but later that evening i had to dose with suboxone. Everything they gave me wore off so reluctantly it was time to get back on the sub boat.

I am on suboxone and I had a tooth pulled. The dentist gave me percocet even tho I told him I was on the suboxone. If you are going to take the Vicodin do not take the suboxone at all because you will not feel the vicodin. Its an opiate and suboxone is an opiate blocker.

To the person with the Roxi I would wait a full day or it won't help...I'd anything it would be the placebo effect..I mean u don't have to take my advice as a person with 6 years under my belt I would just wait to be on the safe side or it will be blocked..then again everyone is different I'd it was the actual sign I'd wait but I'd it's a tex u should have no problem.

Just have them up your dose of subs until your pain level goes down. I've took both for pain and realize that the subs are much more effective then the Vicodin or Percocet.

suboxone is a gift if used to detox from other opiods. however, the way the docs do it today is not okay with me. my experience has been that the doctor (and i've tried a couple trying to get them to help me) way over prescribes the amount of suboxone needed and then continues to prescribe the high dose for months. in less than a week i am thru the worst of the opioid withdrawal, but the doc refuses to lower my dose. the particular doctor whose supervision i am under now is a self proclaimed addict in recovery (not from opioids, from coke) and of course is certified to dispense suboxone (this education, i assume, is provided by the drug manufacturers and therefore, in my opinion, is geared at selling as much of their drug as possible.) pharmaceutical companies are our biggest drug dealers...and we are supposed to feel safe because the prescription is from an "educated" doctor. and they are pushing these drugs and making $$$ from our pain. suboxone detox is far worse than detoxing off opioids. In my opinion it's all about the $$$. the first time i took a suboxone i did the opioid withdrawal in less than a month. the second time i tried following as prescribed...and of course, being the addict i am, i continued. i am thoroughly addicted to the suboxone (i appreciate the reminder given by a post that yes, we can od even if we aren't feeling any euphoria.) i am in a pain pill/suboxone viscious cycle. i am in pain...left side shoulder, back, lower back and a torn meniscus. i take vicoprofen which is much better than the acetaminophen. however, there are other oxycodones out there with no ibuprofen or acetaminophen that come in 5, 10, 15, and i think 30. for an addict, having it pure is a difficult choice, but it is far better than f*****g up my life and kidneys with acetaminophen and ibuprofen. since i don't seem to be able to get it pure at least i ask for the vicoprofen. why aren't we informed there are alternatives? it's only my opinion, but i think it has to do with $$$. whatever happened to the HIPPOCRATIC OATH?

You need to take vicodan with sub 48 hours before stopping suboxone take while surgery is healing. Then wait 24 hours b4 taking suboxone of you will go into PW. And suboxone works great on chronic pain but not surgical pain

Hi, I just got all my teeth pulled for dentures and I am currently on Suboxone. I was scared of the pain and asked my doctor what I should do and my Suboxone doctor told me to continue the Suboxone while being on the pain killers. How the f*** does that make sense?
