What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Tramadol And Suboxone?
may need to wait another 24 hours if possible
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Suboxone is a combination of 2 medications, naloxone and buprenorphine.
The half life of the buprenorphine is 24 to 42 hours and naloxone 2 to 12. The half life of a medication is the time it takes for the amount of medication in the system to decrease by half.
It takes 3 to 5 half lives for a medication to be mostly eliminated.
This means that after 24 hours, the amount of suboxone in your body may be halved but you would still have a significant amount present.
It may be best if possible to wait another 24 hours before starting the tramadol to avoid any interaction.
By that time, at least 2 half lives may have passed
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
if pain severe and no alternative , would need to monitor
Detailed Answer:
HI
If the pain is severe and you are not able to bear it, then you can take the tramadol.
Buprenorphine (one of the ingredients in suboxone) mixed with tramdol can increase risks of seizures, cause extreme drowsiness, affect breathing and heart rate. Unfortunately it is not possible to predict who would or wouldn't have these issues
The amount of buprenorphine would be halved after 24 hours (half life 24 to 42) but some of it would still be in your system
You would need to monitor for any issues or have a family member or friend monitor
Please feel free to ask ask anything else
Thank You so much for your help.
additional 24 hours should be fine
Detailed Answer:
HI
Sorry about the delayed reply, after the additional 24 hours, the amount in your body should be very low since at least 2 half lives of the medication would have been gone.
I really hope that you have relief from your pain
