Can You Take Benzos While You're On Suboxone? (Page 16)

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.

If you've been on benzos 35 years, have had 2 heart attacks and atrial fibrillation, why does a psychiatrist have to be the prescriber of benzos? If I were going to od wouldn't I have done that in the last 35 years? I am 48 years old and sick of the whole rat race.

Been on 8mg suboxen strips for a year, and 30mg of valium a day, never hurt me one bit, everyone's body is different, should not be so quick to judge when you have no idea what your talking about.

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.

You have a lot of nerve to judge people whom you don't know. I'm 45yrs old, have a traumatic brain injury. I have grand mal seizures because of the TBI. I have been on ssdi since 2010 I tried every single seizure preventive and everyone makes me like a ZOMBIE. I take xanax only when needed and they don't give me any buzz they help me tremendously. You need to stop thinking you're Mr. know it all. It's obvious you don't know s***. I've almost died from my seizures and I have chronic pain I take suboxone for pain and still am suffering more than ever but I deal with it because I don't want a buzz I just want to live as normal of a life as I can till my body gives up....So you need to watch what you say until you've walked a minute in my shoes!
