Opioids Will Tramadol cause precipitated withdrawals during Suboxone induction?

[Harrisment]

I've read several threads on here but have not found a definitive answer.

I assumed that Tramadol is just like any other opiate, and that you have to wait around 24 hours or more before starting the Suboxone. However, I've been told by a few people that Tramadol doesn't behave like a normal full agonist, and it can be taken right up until Suboxone induction with no issues. Is this true? I'd love to be able to switch from my drug of choice (oxycodone and oxymorphone) to tramadol for a day or two, and then go straight to the Suboxone without the 24 hours of withdrawals. That seems way too good to be true though, so I'm hoping someone can set me straight. Thanks!

I still haven't been able to find anything definitive, but after reading through one of the threads about precipitated withdrawals, I think I'll err on the side of caution and try to abstain from all opioids (including Tramadol) for at least 24 hours.

Probably a good idea. Tramadol is a good medication to use for pain while on Suboxone as it will usually break through the Suboxone.
