Hey bluelighters,
Got a quick question that i couldn't find the answer to, maybe someone out there can help out. are maois safe to do in combination with prescribed suboxone for addiction maintenance. A friend and I had planned on taking an ayahuasca trip, however he is currently taking 8mgs of suboxone daily. I havnt found anyone saying that opiates react badly with maois (or any info saying its fine really). And though sub isnt an opiate it kinda works on the same receptors (i think...).
Im very, very, wary of trying this out with him, since i cant imagine anything worse than seeing my friend getting seratonin syndrome while high on dmt (though we would have a trip sitter) not to mention the possibility of a close friend dying.
I guess another option would be for him to stop taking it, but the half life is like 72 hours i think, so he'd have to be off for like a week, which would then lead to withdrawals, not a good state to trip in.
Chance are i will not do this unless i get a definative answer (with a source) that there is no contraindication between the two.
Thanks for any info anybody out there has.
Peace,
