Can you use herion to help withdrawals on suboxone?
This seems counter productive as Suboxone is used to help withdrawl from Heroin. lf you are experiencing withdrawl while using Suboxone, or when tapering down from Suboxone, talk to your doctor. lf you have been using Suboxone without a doctor's prescription, and are now without it, talk to a doctor, a pharmacist or an addiction clinic. Heroin would be your worst option to help with withdrawl. At home help for withdrawl symptoms: imodium, ASA or ibuprofen or naproxin, something to help you sleep such as Benadryl or Gravol or better yet, a prescription sedative from your doctor. Note - do not use Nyquil to help you sleep.
