Both suboxone and subutex will put you into precipitated w/d if you begin the induction before going into severe w/d. You need to score at least a 26 on the COWS (clinical opioid w/d scale) worksheet. You will find INDUCTION suggestions and a link to the COWS worksheet on the following link in the INDUCTION section. Hope that helps.

actually... taking the subutex before severe withdrawal WILL NOT make you sick like suboxone. it works alot better. i was doing OC 80s everyday, atleast 7 a day..for about a year... and 1 morning..i did my last OC around 7am... did the subutex around 1pm..and nothing happened. been taking subutex for the last 4 days and feel fine. going to stop taking it tonight. but it totally does not make you sick like suboxone

robert... with all due respect..i have been doing alot of research on the drug subutex. I found an article posted by a medical professional that is well respected and the article was very helpful. It stated that with the drug suboxone a person must wait various hours bepending of the drug that has been taken.wheather it be morphine,heroin,or methadone before you take the suboxone.the amazing part of the article that i didnt know stated that with the drug subutex because it does not contain the other drug naloxone... a person can take subutex as soon as 5 minutes after taking a lesser opiate such as lortab or vicoden or percacet with no precipitated withdrawls. now i know that most drs prescribe suboxone 98 percent of the times ... so all comments that i have read say that u must wait and this is true you do have to wait several hours before taking suboxone. but i goes on to state that if your doctor gives you subutex first ...
Expand this post...
most gernerally they will switch you to subutex after the first few days. this article was very interesting and its new to me. I have personally only waited about 7-9 hrs after taking about my last dose of lortabs... i took five 7.5 tabs the last time and i took the subutex at this time frams and i had no withdrawl symptoms at all... the subutex took it all away and i felt great... so please respond with your opinion of this finding. thank you all for yr support
I just recently sed Subutex and Suboxone to come off of Methadone After 12 years... With the Subutex to help with the first 2 days I was able to get through. I continued on to the suboxone after the 2nd day and am now on day 30 NO METHADONE :) feel great, and DID NOT GET SICK
Robert, respectfully, I have done a lot of research on this too, and I think that your comment that "both suboxone and subutex will put you into precipitated w/d if you begin the induction before going into severe w/d" is simply incorrect. That is what my doctor, pharmacists I have consulted and just about everything I have read on the web about the difference between the two suggest.
I have been on suboxon and now subutex for over 4yrs. now. How long is too long to stay taking this medication? How hard is it to stop taking these meds after this period of time?
