Mixing Methadone and Suboxone with no tolerances?

[FreelanceScientist]

Hi everyone,

I've searched and searched, and I cannot find information pertinent to my situation.
Everyone knows that if you are a regular Methadone user, you CANNOT take Suboxone until in full wd from the Methadone.
This, I completely understand.

However, my situation differs slightly.

I do not regularly use either Suboxone or Methadone.

The last time I used Methadone was about 2 months ago, one time, at 20mg.
Since then, haven't touched it.
The last time I had a Suboxone was about 3 weeks ago, again, since then, nothing.
It is through this deduction that I feel I would have no tolerance or build-up of either one in my system... except...


I recently took 5 measly milligrams of liquid Methadone about 6 hours ago and no longer feel the effects.
(What minimal effects were there, anyways.)

However, I have a Subby sitting around...
What should I expect if I were to take it at this time? I feel that I'm not in deep enough to experience horrible withdrawl symptoms or sickness.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
To Mods and Senior BLers, I apologize if this topic has been covered, but I could not find information relevant to my situation.

Thanks for the advice! I'll just wait a couple days to be on the safe side.
Much appreciated.

I know personally that i wouldnt get sick but like you said it would be best to wait. If you do insist on taking some sub i would suggest only the tinyest amounts to avoid any withdrawal you may experience.

Precipitated sobriety...

Just because you do not have a habit doesn’t mean the sub won’t cancel out the methadone...

Ha! Been there myself. I used subutex once 2 hrs after using heroin in the days before I had a physical dependence. I was beautifully stoned one minute, the next I was completely and utterly straight... It was like a slap in the face. It didn't make me sick, but it was extremely "sobering"...

As your on meth though the contrast may not prove to be as radical.

lol :D

this is probably the only thing that will happen, the buprenorphine will knock the methadone off the receptors for a few minutes before it attaches itself instead and makes you high again.
