Bupe Safe to take Klonopin after Suboxone?

[Celtic Cthulhu]

Hope this is in the right section couldn't decide between here and BDD, anyway a little background... I'm not opiate naïve but my tolerance is pretty low I can get off on +-20 mg of hydrocodone and I tried suboxone for the first time last night about 2mg, needless to say I was floored haha. Anyway that was a little over 13 hours ago so would it be safe to take .5 mg of klonopin? I'm not feeling high from the sub anymore but I'm not craving at all either so I know its still in there. Thanks in advance just trying to stay safe!

Short answer: .5 mgs should be safe...there's still some bupe in you because of the long half-life, and that could be a potentially dangerous combo...but .5 isn't a big deal..

Great thanks for the reply! I kinda figured as much, just wanted to make sure.

Yeah, like Hues said. Taking benzos on bupe, because it is a partial agonist, is not as dangerous as mixing them with full opiates like heroin or methadone. You still need to be careful and keep your doses low.

^^^ It's quite a bit safer taking a small dose of clonazepam on bupe then taking a benzo on any full opioid agonist, I've been prescribed both bupe and klonopin by a doctor, he basically told me just use caution and don't take a high dose of klonopin or redose on bupe for a while after taking the klonopin.
