Syrup first sub next 20 30 mins bluuh. Precip wds? ## Hello, Jim! How are you? No, neither the Dextromethorphan nor Promethazine are listed as being known to cause such in conjunction with the Suboxone, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure. But neither are narcotics of any type. The FDA classifies Suboxone as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. The other is a cold remedy and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. Were they both prescribed for you?

I need help please. Severe pneumonia and cough. Can you take Suboxone with (Promethazine + Codeine)? Please I need relief fast, I'm so miserable. Thank you so much. ## Hi Shelly girl, the short answer is that No, you cannot take those together. Codeine, being an opiate, would pose a drug interaction with both the Buprenorphine AND Naloxone contained in Suboxone. Codeine w/ Buprenorphine could amplify central nervous system depression, leading to respiratory distress or even coma in extreme cases. Codeine w/ Naloxone can counteract each other causing withdrawal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, aches, fever, etc). Promethazine also interacts with Buprenorphine, and can increase certain side effects such as dizziness, confusion, drowsiness, etc. [1] That being said, I'd avoid taking the...
