I went to the clinic Monday morning and took my last 110mg dose.I have zubsolv which is equivalent to suboxone so my question is how long do I wait to take it? It's now Thursday at 630pm and I've been taking gabapentin which takes the edge off but I stI'll feel like death! Please help IDK how much longer I can do this....

Hello, Duda! How are you? I'm sorry that you're so miserable.

You have to be in full withdrawal, before taking the Zubsolv, or it may throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals, unless your doctor has instructed you otherwise.

The FDA classifies this medication 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.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I understand because I have been on methadone for one year exactly and not yesterday but the morning before I took 40 mgs , but my normal dose it 75. I haven't been at a clinic in over 7 days so I haven't have a normal dose since. 30 this days 50 the next. It's a painful struggle. I am in tears because the pain I'm having in my back . I'm jittery, hot , irritated. And I've gott a zubsol 5.7 mg. And I want to take it bad but I didn't know what to do.

1 last thing I need to add about taking your methadone & continuing with ur Zubsolv. As I said I waited one day and continued with the Percocet. I can tell you it won't bother because I had a U/A at the pain clinic and both meds were in my system at the same time. Doc said your gonna have to choose one or the other because taking both is against the rules, not that it will send you into withdrawals. So I was taking both. They say that to scare you into not taking both. But if you were taking 100mg a day of methadone I wouldn't give you this advice, that might send you in withdrawals, but like me, you weren't talking a high dose of pain medication so it's not going to bother you. You'll be fine.
