Switching, methodone to suboxone

[kempc27]

Will I be able to switch from Methadone to Suboxone?

yes you can and it is a good way to detox off methadone you need to be at 20mg to do the switch but you will be saving your self 90 days of post withdrawal stay on the sub for 90 days then ween off sub is a funny drug some people detox at 2mg with little or no withdrawals others take it down to crumbs and go threw 2 weeks of hell it still beats methadone 90 day withdrawal so its a good plan good luck on your recovery and God bless..........Gnarly

Yes, I just switched from methadone to suboxone, You will need to lower your dosage to at least 30mg but preferably 20 mg per day. Then you'll need to be in withdrawals from methadone. I waited 5 days and my switch was easy. If you don't detox from methadone you can go into precipitated wds & you don't want that! Have the doctor prescribe clonodine (blood pressure med) to ease wd symptoms. It's a lifesaver! message me if you need to know more :)
