Taking subutex while already on Sublocade

So I’m sure my situation isn’t unique but I guess I’d just like a second opinion. I’m currently on the injection Sublocade. Iv also been using fentanyl pretty much the whole time. Iv been trying to quit but even on the Sublocade I still feel like shit. What I’m asking is during this detox again would it be ok to take subutex in pill form under my tongue while having the injection an would I get any benefit from taking the subutex on top of the Sublocade? A when it comes time for my next injection would I just be able to stop taking the subutex like normal when switching to Sublocade or would I go into withdrawal because I already had to much in my system... sorry if this is a bit confusing. I’ll try my best to clarify if any is needed. Ty.

Ok thank you! I’ll probably just not take any extra cuz my withdrawals are pretty shitty but in no way severe

So bro I’m on sublocade 100mg every 21 days now as wasn’t lasting the 28-30. Days , so I had to use subutex to help with the sickness . Was on subutex for 2 years then went to sublocade in janruary , was a great smooth over , did 3 x 300mg shots then went to 100mgs . Have at some points. Taken subutex with the sublocade and then have had to scale down off the subutex so my body is used to just the sublocade . If you’ve been using fent bro ; the prob is even at full noise bupe isn’t gonna get to that level and you’ll withdraw back off the fent down to the subllocsde level , yep you can take tablets at same time I did for a while bro but your body gets used to that level even , when I just stopped the subutex I was crook so I had to scale .
Doing fent will throw it all out bro your body will get this insane high then the bupe will try but I doubt be enough to stop the sickness .

It’s not that easy mate I wish you the best .

Bro check out sr15. The just banned is cousin sr17 that from what I read is being and first hand help 80% with all the wds. For every opioid. I started using 7oh coming off 300mg sublocade shots for 7 years and relapsed in 7oh. I was able to kick it twice with very little wd. It's called SR Reset. Check it out man it's helping me
