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

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.

Please stop being dumb!

If you actually study the subject you will find out that vast majority of those deaths were due to people 'Shooting-Up' LARGE doses of Benzo's while on Subutex/Suboxone.

24mg's of Suboxone with 5mg of Valium per day is OKAY
(The okay was from my Doctor.)

ASK YOUR DOCTOR then get a second opinion!

I have to agree with Jake, if you are not a medical professional, then there is no way to say for certain what is safe for any particular patient.

Some people do use Benzodiazepines and narcotics together, some can't, it depends on dosage, other medications they may be taking and other medical conditions they may be under treatment for.

No one can really make this call except for a doctor.

The other issue, of course, is that Benzodiazepines can also be highly addictive, so if someone is using Suboxone to get off of drugs, then giving them something else they may become addicted to doesn't seem very prudent, does it?

The concomitant use or narcotics with Benzodiazepines can also result in more cardio and respiratory depression, which could endanger some people's lives.
