Taking Prescribed Xanax and Suboxone?
Question by DANNY DEVAIATO: Taking prescribed Xanax and Suboxone?
I’m urrently in a methadone treatmeent program, but can’t afford it. Monday I’m going to a suboxone doctor. My methadone clinic knows I’m on xanax, and I don’t abuse it, and seems fine. I’m worried the suboxone doctor won’t take me in because of the xanax I’m prescribed. I’m on 30mg of methadone, down from 60, and not feeling well. 50-60 was a perfect dose for me. 1.) Will the doctor even see me since i’m on xanax, 2.) what do you think he will start me out on. I just started a good new job, and can’t lose it, and don’t wanna be sick. 10 POINTS TO ANYONE THAT CAN HELP ME, PLS. Thank You

The suboxone doc shouldn’t have a problem with the xanax if it’s being used correctly. You will most likely start with two 8mg tabs of suboxone per day. The most difficult part of the suboxone is the taste because it’s sublingual (under the tongue). It worked wonders for me and many other people I know personally. I believe it’s much better than the methadone because you still get the “high” feeling with methadone and not suboxone. The suboxone may help with your anxiety issues too, so you won’t need to take the xanax as frequently. Good luck to you. Oh, you will notice a difference in any withdrawl symptoms almost immediately with the suboxone. It will be a dramatic difference in you life…I promise!
