The Lortabs I've been taking have been 10mg Hydrocodone pills mixed with APAP. If you take them while on Suboxone, either the analgesic (pain relieving) effects will be lost, or you will become sick much like during withdrawal. If you are going to use opiates, stop taking your Suboxone for a day or two prior.

WOW - Here is a correction.

Lortabs are not for depression... They are for moderate to severe pain.

Some opiate addicts might tell you that they are not depressed when taking them though but please realize that opiates are not used to treat depression.

Try a tri-cyclic or SSRI (selective seratonin reuptake inhibitor) for depression such as prozac, zoloft or even cymbalta.

How long should you wait to take Lortab after suboxone?

Time to wait to take Lortab after SuboxoneI have been on Suboxone for 11 months. I had to have surgery 4 months ago and was taking 6mgs. Suboxone per day. Before I decided to take Lortab post-op I discussed this with my pharmacist. I was told that one can safely take Lortab 3-4 hours after last Suboxone dose. I decided to go ahead and tolerated the Lortab very well. Conversely, the same time is needed to resume taking Suboxone.
