Methadone with suboxone

I have been on suboxone a while. I am going to be without it for 2 days because of a mistake of mine. I have several methadone pills from old scrips and was wondering if I could take them to get me through the two days. I will be working so having nothing is not a good option. Will it get me high? Chances of PW? Thank you!

2-days without subs, after being on 3mg/day, won't kick you into "PW".

The end of the 3rd day, is where it starts getting a tiny bit difficult. And even then, it's not horrible until about day-4/day-5. THAT's when the fun starts.

2-days... you should be fine.

I'm sure other will weigh in, but I'D not take the methadone. But that's just me.

Good luck.

Excuse my ignorance... "PW"?

I'm not sure of what that acronym means.

Piggly Wiggly?
Pitching Wedge?
Perfect World?
Power Windows?
Public Works?
Pratt & Whitney?

I'm a little lost!

Only about 3mg a day. Do I run a real chance of PW?

What's your daily suboxone dose?

Meaning, how many mg's/day are you taking?

I've messed up before, and run out 2-3 days early (run out of suboxone), and had to go without. It wasn't until LATE on day-3 that i started feeling anything at all.

If you've been taking them a while, it's "built up" in your system. Also, the half-life of suboxone is so long, that going without for a day or 2 isn't horrible.

Between you and I? I'd say to NOT take the methadone. Two days without sub's won't be bad, Honestly.
