Bupe Can precipitated withdrawals be caused by loperamide?

It's been a long time since I smoked heroin and I'm ready to come off it now.

Long story short, it's been years since and I relapsed due to losing my Mother, and I've essentially forgotten my routine for coming off heroin (smoking) to taking bupe.

I remember that I used to take loperamide to get me through the 24 hour wait before taking bupe again after smoking any heroin & that it helped tremendously.

I cannot remember the specific routine I had before, but I found my lope and still have plenty left. I was just wondering if I should be careful with taking loperamide and bupe too close together?

In essence, can lope cause precipitated withdrawals? Thanks in advance!
 
No lope cannot cause precip as it's a full agonist.

The context of the users statement implies that they are asking if inducing buprenorphine while on loperamide will cause a precipitated withdrawal event.

They are not asking if loperamide causes precipitated withdrawals.

Then this question is impossible to answer unless we knew the affinity values lope.
 
Unless your taking hundreds of MGs of lope I can't imagine bupe causing precips. Honestly, I'd just wait it out. I used to be able to take sub 18 hours after heroin- real heroin. Honestly I'd just sack it up for 36 hours and then take subs. Take lope for what it's used for, why play around when you have suboxone coming in soon after?
