Methadone: Methadone Facts

Question: Can you switch over to suboxone from methadone once you have started a methadone program ?

I was just wondering if you would be able to do this because the suboxone is easier to come off of than methadone.Thanks.

It is very debatable as to whether Sub is any easier to come off of. They are pretty much the same drug. They are both long acting opioids, and are both very difficult to get off of, mainly because of the long term withdrawals. Some people do switch to Sub once they get down to 30 mg's or less of sub daily, and continue to taper down with the sub. i don't think it is any easier though...just a little differrent. subsux.com
