Beginning sub
Good morning everyone, I finally took the step in getting off Norco. I was taking 15 a day for 20 years. I wanted my life back. I am now on Suboxin. I took a whole 8 mg the first day and felt great. However, the second day it did not make me feel right at all! This morning I took only a quarter of the tab and I am doing ok. However, I have a Benzo addiction as well. Is it ok to take them both? In addition, my intention is only get through the normal withdrawl period I would of undergone from the Norco 10mg. So how long do I need to be on Suboxin? Please advise, thank you

Thank you Happydays. I really appreciate everyones nice comments and concerns. This is a wonderful supportive site.
But as others have said n here stoping Xanax cold turkey is not a good idea at all. While stopping opiates cold turkey causes withdrawal and makes you feel like you re dying no physical damage is done and its not gonna hurt you. Now withdrawal from Xanax or any benzo at that can be very dangerous because it can cause problems that can very much hurt you like seizures and things so def talk to your doctor about coming off the Xanax if that's what you want to do and don't just jump off of it cold turkey because it can be very very dangerous
Honestly taking Xanax with any opiate is dangerous because both slow down the respiratory system and heart. So when abusing both it can be a fatal combo and I dunno if its still a true statement but I know not long ago on TV it said the drug admin showed that the combo of opiates and Xanax ( I actually am pretty sure it just said benzos in general) cause the highest rate of overdose deaths of any and all drugs because your system will slow down so much that the heart actually stops or breathing stops while one is asleep. So yea it's def a VERY BAD IDEA!!!
Pls do not take other Narcotics while on Subs. You will get sick! That is one benefit to Subs. The user is aware all other drugs are blocked, unlike Methadone. I took a Ambien on Sub., I forgot. It was unpleasant. Most junkies don't like the Sub. Because of this. Prefer methadone, one can add a Xanax to Methadone and experience a Heroin like high. If you took a Xanax on Sub. you will get sick. Great invention! If used properly.......pls be careful, try to take smaller dose of Subs.....good luck
