ambian with suboxone

Can you take an=mbien while on suboxone? I also take xanax, not alot, to help ease the anxiety of w/d's. Im almost at day 3 and so far I feel good this time. I dont mean in the sense that i have no w/d symptoms, id defintiely do, but I feel like this time might actually be the one where i dont go back. Only time will tell I know but if this is as bad as it will get for me then i think ill be ok. Im a little worried about halloween because all of our families come over and we all go trick or treating together and I cant even bare the thought of walking around in the cold when i have the chills all the time. but how do i tell my 7 year old mommy's not going trick or treating ya know, it took all i had just to carve pumpkins last night, I have been sleeping ok because ive had xanax and thats about to run out, I have 4 .5mg ativan and then my script for ambien, and I didnt know what could be mixed,

I think there is a fear that the two of them together will slow your respiratory system down too much

Plz check it with your doctor , Dont go by what others say when it comes to sub .Go by the advice of your doctor... Most of my friends that are on sub have been able to continue there benzos with no problem BUT I would still run it by the doctor.

I just talked to an addiction doctor and he made me sign a paper stating that i did not take xanax,
Ativan or Valium......
when I asked him why he said that using benzos can be very dangerous with Suboxones.........

Please check into that for yourself......
