It depends on whether you are taking pills (which you do not swallow), or sublingual strips. It should take no longer than 5-10 minutes. Also remember not to swallow while the Suboxone is still under the tongue. Swallowing will lessen the effect, these drugs do not work nearly as well when ingested, they must be absorbed by the blood vessels of the tongue. Always keep the Suboxone under your tongue, do not simply hold it in your mouth.

if you follow the directions and let it dissolve under your tongue, within 5 minutes you will feel it.
i am going for surgury and am on suboxone. how long before surgury do i need to stop taking it if at all?
Will first you need to get off methadone or be on at least 5mg. And then the doctor can put you on suboxone.
I guess it would be okay for you to take a vicodin after 48 hours of you not taking any suboxone. Suboxone has a long half life and that means it stays in your system for a long period of time. First of all, why would you want to only be on suboxone for a week? suboxone doesn't work in a week. And if it does work for you in a week then why would you want to touch a vicodin again??
suboxone has never showed up on my drug screens.
do not snort suboxone, it will not get you high, it is designed to really only work if taken sublingually. Plus that would hurt very bad, trust me just let it dissolve under your tongue or you won't feel anything. I dont know how long it stays in your system but it will get you high if you snort it
The only way to take Suboxone is to dissolve it under your tongue. Swallowing it won't work, because it won't dissolve in your stomach. And don't even think about crushing it up and snorting it or smoking it; it simply does not work that way. You can do that with heroin, and it sort of works with Vicodin and oxycodone, but not with Suboxone. Furthermore, the maximum amount of Suboxone you can take at one time is 32 milligrams (four 8-mg pills). Taking any more than that will have no effect, so don't even try: it's just a waste of expensive medication.
You would not want to dissolve it directly into the urine even a small amount. Because it would test as very large amount..if your going to store urine. Collect the urine right after you have taken your last dose of suboxone ..and store that for 5 days and before u take it to lab or test sight get the temp to 98.8
the half life of suboxone is 36 hours. So 72 hours would eliminate the suboxone from you entirely. But depending on your dose you could have oxycodone work sooner. Example if your mu receptors are not filled (2mg suboxone or below). But all in all you will have to wait a full two days before the oxycodone will work to your satisfaction, to my expierence.
If you're trying to get high on suboxone after being on it to get you off opiates, you should probably go back to rehab.
If you are taking prescribed suboxone, the doctors will expect to find suboxone or its by-products in testing. It is never a good idea to abruptly stop certain medications without guidance from your doctor. If you need specific directions about your upcoming drug test, contact your doctor or contact the lab performing the drug test.
Yes. Suboxone consists of opiate medications.
