If you have methadone in your system and you take suboxone right now, you will experience precipitated withdrawals. If you are psychially dependent on opiates, you can not have any opiates in your system (attached to your brain receptors) before you take suboxone. Methadone also has a very long half-life so you might have to wait a good while before you can dose suboxone depending on how much methadone you took.
 
But im not addicted to mdone

Doesn't matter. Withdrawal doesn't work that way. You don't get psychically addicted to one drug.. mentally sure, people have their DOC like heroin or oxy, etc.. but when it comes to being psychically dependent.. all opiates hit the same receptors in your brain, so if you are addicted to one opiate like heroin for example, that's why taking methadone or oxy will eliminate your withdrawals. To your brain and body, an opiate is an opiate. It may take more or less of a certain opiate to take away your withdrawals because certain drugs are stronger/weaker than others. But accounting for dosage and tolerance, all opiates will make you well no matter which one you use on a daily basis.
 
Doesn't matter if he takes subutex or suboxone. The naloxone doesn't do anything, its the bupe that causes precipitated withdrawals. My friend you are addicted to OPIATES not a single specific one, therefore you can't have any on your receptors or else you will experience PW's. Your going to have to wait a while after methadone because of it's long have life.
 
so if i do oxy for a week, and do bupe while there is still some oxy on my brain, it could make me super sick? i had that happen if thats the case. i have a few bupes im afraid to touch, but need to figure out why shavings, like .2 got me SICK for days? should i have waited longer to take it until in full blown WD's?
