Does Suboxone interfere with Toradol like a Percocet would?

Tooth out and taking Toradol- what with Suboxone?I had my tooth pulled today. It was one that had a part of it left from a crown/cap I lost a couple of months ago.
I decided to tell the dentist NOT to give me a script for narcotic painkillers but for Toradol, instead.
Does Suboxone interfere with Toradol like a Percocet would? Does anyone know if I need to NOT take my Suboxone while taking Toradol. The dentist never heard of Suboxone or Bupe. so he was no help.
I am proud of myself for making this decision! I just hope I don't regret it when I don't get the pain relief I need. I just took my first 8mg. Suboxone around 20 minutes ago, so IF Toradol and Suboxone cannot be taken together, then I will have to wait several more hours before I take Toradol.
IF anyone knows anything about this, I really, really, need your help now!

I went through sort of the same situation i had a tooth pulled and i asked for ibp 800 i to am in recovery from opiates im a month sober from all opiates includin suboxone so not taking the script is hard enough itself. to be honest if you are taking suboxone it will be you best bet for pain management because of the buprineprine its no OxyContin but it will do a better job of controling pain than toradol/ketorolac good luck

Well congratulations!! I'm so glad that Mary was right, and the suboxone took care of your pain!! And, you should be really proud of yourself for not filling that percocet script!! Pat yourself on the back :-)

thank you! I am proud and pleased with that. I don't like to think of what might have happened!
I NEVER DID FILL THE SCRIPT FOR TORODOL.

I never even filled the script for the Torodol. I believe the bupe in Suboxone took care of the pain, as I felt almost none. Once, I took a couple of xtra strength Tylenol, that's it. I am so grateful for this. I knew I could be opening Pandora's box if I had a script for Percocet or Oxy's. I'd be back in no time at all. I still feel like I am on shaking grounds, in that I still look forward to taking my suboxone every day. It is working though. On this strength I am doing great

Hey Lady!! I hope that you have an easy recovery. I have fibro, so when I had my tooth pulled, it took a week to really feel better. Hopefully you won't have to deal with that. I don't know about Suboxone, or Bupe, but I do know that Torodol is an excellent NSAID. It is not easily absorbed by the stomach though, so you might do better on Aleve, or Ibuprofen. Then again, everyone is different, and it might work great on you!! If you can take an NSAID ((non steroidal anti-inflammatory such as Aleve, Motrin, Nuprin, etc.,)with your Saboxone, then there is no problem. NSAID's have nothing to do with your opiod receptors. Good luck, and speedy recovery!!

that's the problem msfino,
I DO NOT take any NSAIDs in a good way, in fact my body really doesn't accept them well, at all! I have gastro problems to begin with, and have always had problems with any in this drug family. my doctor was ready to give me a narcotic pain killer, be it Percocet or T#3's, and I was afraid I'd start all over again, because I had or have, I guess, with Percocets. I'm not sure what to do now. I have taken 16mg. of Suboxone. It is after 5p, and I am not feeling any pain, YET! I don't know when it will settle in, if it does at all. I have regular Tylenol extra strength and some T#3's around the house, maybe I have 10 or so. BUT, if the pain comes crashing in some time tonight, I think I am effed, because the Suboxone will have covered the receptors and won't help with the pain, from what I know. I also can't take a lot of T#3's, like I can Percocet.
My son was with me and I just didn't feel like I should be getting the drug I've so much problem with.
I GUESS, I'll just have to wait and see what happens as I am powerless as to the outcome of the amount of pain I will or will not be in, later, or even tomorrow.
That's it!

I've heard that the suboxne is used for pain, so maybe it will take care of tooth pain for you all by it's self. Let's hope so... Mary
