Does meth block your opiate withdrawl symptoms?
First off, it depends what meth you are talking about. METHADONE does block opiate withdrawal symptoms and is used to get people off of herion or other opiates. If you are talking about methamphetamine, than no. Methamphetamine will actually make opiate withdrawal worse at times, but it may make it easier to deal with them during the "high" of methamphetamine because of how powerful of a drug it is.

How can you go through heroin withdrawal without the use of Suboxone and methadone but maybe the use of Klonopin or Xanax?
Klonopin and Xanax are not opiates, so, they will do nothing to alleviate the symptoms of heroin withdrawal. Only another opiate can alleviate the symptoms of heroin withdrawal.
Can you take Demerol with subotex?
No. The naltrexone in suboxone will cause you to have the same symptoms of opiate withdrawal (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, disphoria.)
Can you take a suboxone a day after you used an opiate its been 2days off methadone but one day since a small amount of opiates?
They recommend you wait at least 72 hours before taking Suboxone. My doctor told me that I must be experiencing withdrawal symptoms before taking it, because if it is taken too soon after another opiate it can trigger really bad withdrawal symptoms and make it even worse.
Does suboxone dilate your pupils?
No, if anything it will contrict the pupls beause it is an opioid medication that acts by agonizing the opiate receptors. Doing that will cause pupil contriction, one of the easiest ways to tell if someone has taken an opiate medication/drug. Also because Suboxone is used for opiate withdrawal, the pupils might be big while on it because it is not as strong as the opiates you were taking before.
