As I have said it doesn't make a difference whether you take subutex or suboxone. The narcan is completely inactive unless you try to mix the pill with a liquid to administer it intravenously, then the narcan begins to work. This is a fact, not an opinion. It is the main ingredient buprenorphine that blocks other opiates from working. The narcan is not an issue if you are taking the pill as directed. The narcan is bound and not active unless it is separated by a liquid. Subutex or suboxone will block other opiates, that is the job of buprenorphine. If you have trouble believing a pharmacist then look into research on how suboxone is made and it's delivery of the narcan only if the pill is tampered with.

Roughly about 5 days is the usual but it can be as little as three days. Try to take one dose of your regualr medication and you will be able to tell for sure if the subutex is gone from your system. It doesn't take very long for the effects to subutex to leave the body.

The subutex will block the action of the percocet so she will get no benefit from smoking percocet and taking subutex at the same time. If she has been on the percocet for a while the subutex will cause her to go into withdrawl. It does also hit opiate receptors but in a different way not nearly as strong as percocet. Using both will give her no benefit. Subutex is used mainly to get people off of other opiates including percocet. Like I said it does this by blocking the action of any other opiate but itself and it's effects are much lower than that of the other opiates.

I have been on Subutex 8mg for about 3 days now. I break it into 4 pieces and take only one of those pieces a day. The last time I took one was this morning around 10AM. I also have a script for Percocet 5mg. How long should I wait before I can feel the Percocet? For a better understand and reference: I'm 110 lbs and thin built.

This is an old thread but subutex and suboxone will block other opiates that is what they do. It is the bupernorphine that does this not the nalaxone. The nalaxone is inactive unless you try to crush the pill down. Bupernorphine blocks the opiate receptors to all other opiates because it is a special type of opiate. I used to be a pharmacist so I am not just pulling this information out of nowhere. The nalaxone doesn't matter at all unless you break the pill down. Even with subutex other opiates will still be blocked. Sorry. That is its job and why they use it for people coming off other opiates. But because it is a type of opiate it does work for pain as well but on its own never given with other opiates because there would be not point.

My daughter is taking subutex as "treatment" for opioid addiction. Under a great deal of stress (caring for a severely disabled family member), she has been smoking Percocet. She tells me she is still taking her subs. Is this even possible, to do both at the same time? I realize I can't "make" her quit, but I would like to at least give her the best possible advice about what to do to get off the Percocet smoking?

I was just wondering, i was taking between 8mg and 12 mg of subuTEX for 5 days bc my normal pain medication was stolen. I am due for my refill soon. It has been 2 days since my last 8mg tab. How long should i wait to take my oxycodone given i was doing between 8 and 12 mg per day for 5 days?

They didn't take suboxone! They took subtext! Big difference! The one has narcan the other does not ! She took the one that does not! Subutex and suboxone only have a 36 hour life in your system !

Tanner,

I see where you were taking the same dose of oxycodone as me per day & then you also woke up the next day and took 2 mg subutex and felt fine. Do you or anyone else know what would happen if I took a 30 mg roxy right now? Would it do anything to me since I only took 1/2 a mg of subutex in the past like 18 hours?? Thanks in advance anyone that might or could help me.

First of all, he said subutex, not suboxone. That being said, 16mg is quite a bit so I would wait at least 24 hours. You won't go into withdrawal as it doesn't contain the same naloxone that suboxone has. You might not feel it though as the subutex is still working. No need to take such high dosages of subutex when 4-8mg a day might be sufficient. It lasts for a while and keeps you at bay. I was taking 80mg of oxy a day and woke up and took 2mg of subutex and feel great. My fear is the restless achy legs as I can't function when they're going nuts.

You will still need to wait at least 72 hours, before the Oxycodone will be effective, due to the Suboxone blocking it's affect, unless your doctor instructs you otherwise.

The FDA classifies this medication as 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?
