Brief Answer:
Be careful when mixing medication.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

It is impossible to give you a prescription without examining you and this is not possible online. We are here for the health advice and can not prescribe any medications.

Please note that subutex should not be taking together with other medications like ambien or xanax because it can lead to serious side effects such as respiratory distress, coma or death.

Taking together subutex and oxycodone may may reduce the analgesic effects of oxycodone.

You should contact your health care provider so that he or she may prescribe you subutex.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
