Hello. There is some long running confusion here about the differences between suboxone and subutex. The primary reason why new inductees are advised to be in moderate withdrawals before taking thier first dose of suboxone/subutex is because the Buprenorphine itself can cause precipitated withdrawals. The naloxone is inert when consumed orally and is only activated when injected.
So, to answer your question: It is no more ok to take subutex whilst on methadone than it is to take suboxone. Same/Same. I advise against it. Talk with your doctor if you are still unsure.
Good luck on your journey. Kind regards Jeremy(ex addict)
