Switching from Subutex to Suboxone

[KatieBabyxo]

I am currently on Subutex and would like to switch to Suboxone. Do I have to wait a certain amount of time after taking Subutex to take Suboxone? I was planning on taking Suboxone tomorrow morning, and I took a Subutex today in the morning. Would that throw me into precipitated withdrawals? I've had the UNFORTUNATE experience of precipitated withdrawals in the past when I was trying to get clean off Heroine with Suboxone. I waited about 12 hours after my last dose of snorting H to take the Suboxone film and I immediately went into full blown precipitated withdrawal. If I had a gun at that time, I would of put it to my head... That's how bad the withdrawals were.

Anyway... My point is, that I do not want to EVER experience precipitated withdrawals again. So I'm trying to find out if taking Suboxone after Subutex will throw me into withdrawals. If anyone has any advice they can give, I'd appreciate it! Thanks! =)

No, it wont throw you in percip wds. Suboxone and subutex are essentially the same thing, except with subutex youd be able to get high after taking it and with suboxone you wont because of the naltraxone (sp?). I dont know why you would switch over though, suboxone has a reaaally nasty taste and you have to dissolve it under your tounge, as with subutex you swallow i think? Even if you have to dissolve subutex under your tounge, its tasteless.
