I can guarantee it can become life threatening and the precipitated w,/,D was pure hell. I was on 180,mgs x5 yrs. I lost my eldest daughter to an overdose of methadone 11/2005. I couldn't stand the stuff after her death so I went to a reputable detox/,treatment. The policy was to be on 40mg when entering for tapor. Those clinics don't care it's all about money.They said it'd take a minimum of 1,yr. Anyway the dr got me admitted I really wanted off.They took me down in 3wks. After 4,weeks of no methadone I was induced with subutex. Omg. The complete worse.pure hell. Not to mention I almost stroked out. I was in detox 4-6months. Over been on 24,mg subutex since. Methadone has a 72+hr half-life as subs do. Never mix and get with an outpatient free at lots of mental health and subsence abuse centers. Good look.God bless

Hello, Papotimbal! How are you?

The Naloxone in the Suboxone is likely to just neutralize the Methadone, that's actually why it's used in it, to prevent the abuse of other narcotics, while someone is under treatment with it.

And, if you have a treatment contract with your doctor, taking the Methadone may also violate that.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
