A friend of mine just got out of rehab, and I have seen him nodding since then He switched from methadone to suboxone in treatment. My question is, if suboxone is combined with benzos, like ativan or xanax, does it have the same effects of combining methadone with benzos (does it get you"high")? Where can I find more information (I tried googling this and came up with nothing)?10 points to the best real answer

Yes it does. Perhaps not to the same extent as Methadone. But its very risky. Most of the deaths from subutex/suboxone are from mixing it with benzos and/or alcohol. Usually this happens when both the benzo and the subs are injected. The risk is lesser when you take both as directed (orally for benzos, sublingually for Sub) but the risk is still there.If you're looking for this sort of information, you can try Harm Reduction oriented sites like Bluelight.
