Can you take methadone while detoxing from suboxone?

It is not a good idea to mix drugs unless your doctor or pharmacist says they are OK together. It does not matter what two or more drugs we are talking about. Even over-the-counter medications and supplements have interactions, so you should always check with a trained professional.

That said, WikiAnswers does not give information about illegal acts, such as using methamphetamine.

After taking 12 mg of Suboxone how long should you wait to take 20 mg of Methadone?

at least 24 hours I would say at least 24 hours. The longer you can wait, the more (and better) you will feel. I just switched over from Suboxone to Methadone 2 months ago & didnt really "feel" the methadone for about 3 days. I waited roughly 24 hours between doses because of all the "horror stories" I have heard, and I didnt get sick at all. Methadone and Suboxone are a strange thing when it comes to what to take first and vice versa. I was on 110milligrams of methadone and had to stop altogether without weaning because a broken down car. Nine days later I took 16mgs. of Suboxone at a new clinic and was deathly sick for two days. This is because methadone is a full opiate while Suboxone is a partial opiate. So if you take Suboxone and then Methadone, you will either feel the methadone or feel nothing(depending on your Suboxone dose) BUT if you take Methadone,especially for a long period of time, and then take Suboxone, God have mercy on you, it can throw you into AWS(Acute Withdrawal Syndrome) and its like a flu times 10 with insomnia

How long should you wait to take methadone after you take suboxone?

are you saying after you quit taking the suboxone? or while still taking the suboxone? first of all never EVER take together the both combined. if you take suboxone and want to just take methadone to buzz it will cause severe withdrawal symptoms. if you are taking methadone and want off of it, then wait at least three days, maybe 48 hrs it depends how much you have taken. never combine those two it can be deadly. by the way i don't even know what i'm answering. i'm confused. i'm on crack!!!!!

How soon can you switch from methadone to suboxone?

Yes, but ONLY after u have tapered to a 30mg methadone dose, THEN detox for 24 hours, and when u are in clear signs of withdrawal, then u can take a very low suboxone dose (1/2 a pill or so). if u do not do this, you will go through extreme withdrawal, which is 10 times worse than regular withdrawal. take my word for this, it is not something you want to mess around with
