I am on methadone 30mg was given suboxin for detox. I have not used meth in 3 days but when I took suboxin it put me into withdrawels..I am supposed to take suboxin 8mg twice a day but i am afraid it will cause horrible withdrawel again. should I wait until I am in really strong withdrawels from methadone before i take it? when will that be? The md did not know!! He is used to herion detox ,The methadone is a long acting drug this I know but how long before it all takes? I am supposed to take suboxin 8 mg twice a day then every 5 days taper down. I need to go to work. so far I feel just weak and runny nose. the onlt time i got bad was after taking the suboxin. so I only took 4mg yesterday and none yet today. Does anyone know what i should do since the md doesnt have a clue. I also have a catapres patch on for my bp. Can anyone advise me.
