Suboxone has Buprenorphine & Naloxone in it. The Naloxone will partially or completely reverse any narcotic effects. Subutex only has Buprenorphine. I have chronic pain & have been on Subutex for years (34 mg per day) & have had a couple of operations in this time. I believe you would be much better off on Subutex. It would be worth talking to your Doctor about your concerns. Goodluck!

There is not enough in this to interfere with large doses or narcotics or anesthetics.

Taken under your tongue, the blocker has a really short half. Its actually the buprenorphine that over powers your receptors to beat out the opiate (very common misconception). So either way, you're in the same boat. My suggestion would be to taper down to about a 1/2 (of an 8mg) a day if possible so your levels are low enough for powerful opiates to still dull the pain if needed but high enough so you don't suffer from withdrawal.

The buprenorphine itself will block any effects and cause withdrawal from opiates. Not the naloxone, it's a big misconception. Naloxone is just put there by the drug company so more drs. will prescribe it instead of subutex and they will in turn make more money off of suffering people.

if I took 8mg of suboxone at 3pm and have a subutex now at 10pm, and I insufflate it, will the suboxone block the subutex?

switch to subutex, it works great for pain and if you need something more you can take tramadol with it and it actually helps. Tramadol never helped me in the past but with subutex, it works great.
