Suboxone and Tramadol
How long should I wait before taking my suboxone if I took tramadol 12 hours ago? I know other opiates you should wait 36-48 hours, but what about tramadol? I'm so impatient that I may just take the Suboxone right now and find out for myself. Scary! If my arms and legs start going insane (more than they already are) I'll be back to let everyone know not to ever take Suboxone so soon after taking Tramadol.
DONT TAKE IT YET ....what did your doctor tell you ??????? you very well may throw yourself into precipated withdrawals it will be so much worse then what you are going threw now. I would wait at least 6 more hours.what dose are you taking of sub ?
You should be in withdrawls b4 taking suboxone! If you are in moderate withdrawls go ahead and take it! I have been on suboxone for 2 years and if you have anyquestions feel free to ask me! Good luck
What does moderate withdrawls look like? I am scheduled for the suboxone induction on friday and I want to be sure I am in enough of a withdrawl state for the best result. Also, what are the side effects of the suboxone? Is the suboxone hard to taper off of?
LOOK at this it will help you out ... COWS sheet ....how long did your doctor tell you had to be in wd for and what are you coming off of.

how long do you plan to stay on the sub? that will determine how bad youw/ds are...also how low you taper on it. my daughter got down to a crumbe evry other day then every third day. she had no ill effects from it, but she was only on it 6 weeks total. sub is a powerful opiate so be very careful and do your research. check out the health pages there is an post there with most of our memebrs stories. you can see how it affected others. good luck and DO YOUR RESEARCH
