Had A Knee Surgery And Took Percocet. Took Methadone Unknowingly. Is It Proper To Take Suboxone Now?
hi .. i was recently on percocet 10mg for a knee surgery and decided to get off of them myself , i know not very smart ,, so i was told to get suboxone to help , a co worker of mine said he had some to see if it would work for me ,, but he lied and it was methadone , i recently went and had a perscription filled for suboxone but sadly i was to embarrassed to say anything ,, i took about a quarter of a 40 methadose at 12am about 23hours ago ,, so my question is , is it safe to take the suboxone now ? thank you

Hi there ~
I understand your concerns. The half life of methadone is about 10-40 hours depending on what kind of metabolism you have. I believe that the methadone and suboxone also do not have any drug interactions and it is safe to start taking the suboxone as recommended by your doctor. I hope this helps.
Take care and have a lovely day!
