How long should you wait before you take suboxone after taking heroin?

Answer 1

12 to 24 hours

This is what i did a few nights ago. I took my last shot about 2pm - it was a big one - I put about .6 grams (tar) in it, and I tried not to fall asleep, (nod off), and then around 6 I took 3 xanax bars and knocked my self out till about 5 the next day. As soon as I got up, I took 2 subs. Make sure you put them under your tongue, or they will not work. Then, about 3 hours later, I was king of feeling bad. I just ached everywhere, and I took one more. Then, 40 minutes later, I did 2 shots because they will not really work and get you high but they will take away the pain all over your body but make shire you have at least .4 After you kick so you can do little after you kick and after you take the subs any email me i can help matthewnelsonpdx at gmail this is the best way to kick! Ive done it like 4 times.

Answer 2

Be VERY, VERY CAREFUL!!!!! I was administered the highest legal doseage of Subutex, which has the same active ingredient, Bupenorphine, 24 hours after my last dose of 80 mg. of Oxycontin, chewed as I usually ingested Oxy , and a short time later, I needed to crawl out of my skin! The Bupenorphine is a closer match to the Mu receptor of your brain, which is the receptor for opiates, than the Oxy or any other narcotic, so it kicked the Oxy particles of and rudely planted itself there, so it threw me into a withdrawal so severe, I seriously contemplated suicide. Thank God, a young Filipina Nurse on the hospital unit I was rushed to felt sweet compassion on me and knocked me out with Chloral Hydrate for almost 36 hours until the unbearable pain and suffering greatly subsided. I relapsed shortly after my detox, since my lower back injury was still too painful to endure without opiate therapy, but now I'm trying again, since a freak traffic accident seems to have healed my lumbar injury finally.

this is what i did a few nights ago, i too my last shot about 2pm it was a big one i put abut .6 grams (tar) in it and ii tryed not to fall asleep (nod off)and then around 7 i took 3 xanax bars and knocked my self out till about 5 the next day as soon as i got up i took 2 subs make sure you put them under your toug or they will not work, then about 3 hours later i was feeling supper bad i just ached everywhere and i took one more sub and then 40 minutes later i did 2 shots light shots don't put alot in it because they will not really work to get you high, but they will take away the pain all over your body but make shire you have at least .4 after you kick so you can get rid of the after pain and by the time you wake up the next day you should feel 80% better. but remember for the next month you will not beable to sleep if i were you i would go to the doctor and get trazidone.. any questions email me i can help matthewnelsonpdx at gmail THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO KICK!!!!!!! ive done it like 4 times and my last habbit last time i kicked so a week ago i was doing about 2-3 grams of tar a day

honestly if it was not to $$$ and you did not get sick if you stop i would do it till i was old

Wait at least 24 hrs. after your last dose, or until you are slightly dope-sick, with uncontrollable yawning and eye-watering. The transition will not be too difficult.

Answer 3

You have to wait until you're in severe withdrawal (usually around 16 to 18 hours) before you start taking Suboxone, or else you will get really sick. The opposite, however, will NOT make you sick. You can take opiates (heroin, Vicodin, etc.) while you have Suboxone in your system. You just can't take Suboxone if you have opiates in your system.

For example, a couple of years ago I had a root canal, and the oral surgeon prescribed Vicodin for me. But I had to take double doses of the Vicodin, and cut my Suboxone dose in half, in order to get enough relief from the pain. My doctor warned me not to stop taking the Suboxone completely, or else I would have to wait until I was in severe withdrawal from the Vicodin before going back on Suboxone.

Answer 4

This depends upon the length of heroin use, the dose, and regularity of use. A higher tolerance to heroin and longer duration of regular use will require a longer period of abstinence before taking buprenorphine (the active drug in Suboxone) to avoid precipitated withdrawal. To be safe, it is recommended that the patient wait till he or she is in full-fledged withdrawal before taking Suboxone or other formulations containing buprenorphine.

Remember, if you take buprenorphine too early & experience precipitated withdrawal; there is little recourse to resolve these symptoms. Since buprenorphine blocks full-opioid agonists in the brian (like heroin), reverting back to heroin use will not resolve withdrawal--even at very high doses. & taking higher doses of buprenorphine will not increase relief from withdrawal, due to its partial-agonist activity in the brain, resulting in its ceiling effect. It's better safe than sorry.

Generally speaking however, after last using heroin (and assuming proceeding heroin use was at typical dosage & the last dose was also the typical intake for the heroin user)... between 1.5 days--at the least--and 5 days--at the most, for those with extremely high tolerance and longtime use--is generally considered an adequate time frame before transitioning to suboxone replacement therapy.

Answer 5

You can take a suboxone between 12 to 24 hours the longer the better Google cows chart and answer the questions cheack your score and cheack the chart for the number you need to reach before you take a suboxone my suboxone doctor had me fill out this chart before I took my 1st suboxone be careful if you take the suboxone to early it wont help and it will block you from all opiods so you will be dope sick no matter how much you do so please wait long as you can and it will be worth it I felt so much better after I took the suboxone. Good luck.

Answer 6

There is no correct time to wait, I waited 48 hours and still went into severe withdrawals when taking 1 8mg sub strip
