How long should you wait to take an opiate after one dose of suboxone?

You need to wait until you start to actually feel the withdrawal, otherwise it can possibly make you sick. So if you last took an opiate yesterday and your're starting to feel the "I wish I would just die" feeling, then it's time to take the sub.

∙ 12y agotypically they say to wait 24 hours after you last got high. however you can usually get away with it after 14-18 hours depending on how much you did and of what. with methadone or ALOT of dope i'd try to wait the full 24 hours. BUT i have known people that will just take it before they have the chance to get dope sick, knowing it might make them throw up, they say its better to just get it over with. i'd say you should definitely wait ATLEAST 12 hours no matter what and take a very small piece at first to see if it's too soon. break it in half and then in half again. good luck.

∙ 14y agoIf you are speaking of using Suboxone orally, it depends on how much opiate is in your system. Follow the instructions from your physician.
However, if you try to inject Suboxone while high on other opiates, in addition to not getting you high it may put you into sudden withdrawal.

∙ 12y agoWell my ex-opiate user[s] [hopefully],
First off,
It really depends on what opiates you are taking, how much you are using, method of use and stuff like this.
Now,
If you are taking...
Heroin - Wait 12 - 24 Hours
Percocet - Wait 12 - 24 Hours
Vicodin - Wait 12 - 24 Hours
Oxycodone - Wait 12 - 24 Hours
Oxycontin (If you snort, smoke or inject) - Wait 12 - 24 Hours
Oxycontin (If you chew or pop it) - Wait 24 Hours +
Methadone - Wait 36 Hours +
REMEMBER: This is a rough guideline to follow so read below too...
Timing is everything! You know your body, so you have to let yourself go into the first beginning stages of withdrawal before you take Suboxone.
If you take it to soon, it'll be way worse for you because your body will be sent into automatic withdrawal. [Example: Within minutes you'll puke right away, start shaking and the whole sha-bang]
Remember you really should just go to a doctor instead.
but if you're the type of person who doesn't want to go because you don't want this type of thing on your medical record, I hope I provided you with some helpful information.

How long after taking Suboxone can you take clonazepam?
Clonazepam is not an opiate, so you can take it even if you're already on Suboxone. A few years ago I was prescribed clonazepam, on top of my regular dose of Suboxone. Just don't take more than a normal dose of either drug: as they are both depressants, there is a risk of overdose if you take too much.
If you have taken suboxone will you feel a 30mg OC?
It depends on several different factors: how much suboxone you took, how long have you been taking it, and if you only took a suboxone once between taking pills: how high your tolerance is to oxycodone.If you only took one dose of suboxone (between 2mg and 8mg) you should be able to feel the full effect of the OC after 24 hours. After about 12 hours you'll feel some effects, but definitely not what you would normally expect from 30mg of OC. If you've been taking Suboxone for several days in a row, it would be difficult to guage how long it will take for you to feel the full effects. Suboxone has a 36 hour half life so it builds up in your system. The longer you take it and the higher the dose, the longer it will take for it to leave your system completely.
How long will suboxone show on a 5 panel test?
Saboxine is a narcotic opiate...
How long does it take for painkillers to work after stopping suboxone I have a chronic painful disease and I am stopping the suboxone cold turkey tonight I have been on it for about a year and a half?
Because of the nature of Buprenorphine, it is not a good idea to take it with other opiate pain medicine, because it blocks as well as stimulates different opiate receptors and can reduce their effects. Suboxone, one brand of Buprenorphine, is formulated with Naloxone (Narcan). It is a very powerful opiate "blocker" BUT in this case is only added to the formulation to prevent IV use of the drug, as the Naloxone is destroyed by stomach acids. Keeping all this in mind as soon as the opiate receptors are sufficiently clear of the Suboxone, other narcotic pain meds can be used to control your pain. How fast this happens depends on your Suboxone dosage as well how long you were on it, but after 48 hours you should start seeing an improvement in the effectiveness of your pain medication. This of course depends on what drug you are now prescribed, and if you were taking the Suboxone for pain control or opiate dependency maintenance. I didnt take my dose last night so its been way over 24 hours since my last dose do you think theres any way the pain medication if I take a higher dose will work? I am just in agony? Thankyou.
How long to feel full effects of heroin after last suboxone dose?
Not that I recommend it as you are at higher risk for overdose.. but it mostly depends on your dose of Suboxone. There is lots of misinformation about suboxone/subutex/buprenorphine which is equally bad AND good ("if you use another opiate you will DIE" has been claimed by doctors, this is seen as a deterrent but can also be abused when people find out it is not true and assume that they can just do their regular opiate doses and be fine) Bupe tends to have a significant, but varying among individuals, blocking effect of opiates in doses HIGHER than around 2mg. If you take less than 2mg you should be able to feel near, if not full, effects of heroin within hours. But if you are on suboxone, you should really be rethinking your desire to use heroin in the first place.. I'm just saying...
How long will suboxone show up on blood tests?
Suboxone does not show up in the average 5 or 7 panel test. It is not an opiate like heroin or oxy contin. Whoever is testing you would have to ruun a test specifically testing for suboxone for it to come up.
Can you get hogh on heroin if taking it 13 hours afyer 3mg of suboxone?
For starters, I wouldn't advise that an opiate addict take prescription pain medication while trying to get off of other opiates using Suboxone. Suboxone is used for opiate dependence and addiction, and should be used as part of an enitre recovery plan. With that being said, it should be fine taking the Norco after that much time has elapsed just as long as you take the Norco AFTER the Suboxone and not before. Taking Norco before can cause full blown precipitate withdrawls, and an individual should wait to take Suboxone until they are starting to withdrawl from the other opiates. Again, I advise that any individual on Suboxone should stay on it, so that they do not screw up their chances of recovering. You can do it!
How long after you take methadone can you take suboxone?
You can take methadone after suboxone but do not take suboxone after methadone. If you have any opiates in your system and take suboxone, you will go into withdrawal......
If you take a piece not even on third of a suboxone will a oxycotine 80 mess you up?
suboxone attaches itself to the opiod receptors and actually have a long halflife (meaning they stay in the system for a while) and what it will do is you pretty much are wasting your money on anything opiate wise because since something from the suboxone is already attached to your opiate receptors nothing else can attach themselves to them. This also causes someone that already has opiates in their system to pretty much go into full withdraws within minutes, because the suboxone wipes off your opiate receptors.
Is it safe to take Claritin while on suboxone?
No it is a very bad idea to do this. There are two man drugs in suboxone, they are bupamorphine Buprenorphine and Naltrexone Naloxone. The bupamorphine Buprenorphine is in the opiate family and binds to your opiate receptors which prevents withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Also since bupamorphine Buprenorphine saturates your opiate receptors any other opiates you take will not have any effect and you will not feel it at all, so its just a waste of money. Naltrexone Naloxone is a drug that make it impossible to shoot up suboxone and also will make you VERY sick if other opiates are taken on top of it. If you take any kind of opiate with suboxone the naltrexone Naloxone will send you in to VERY painful withdrawal. Do not do this, you might end up in the emergency room as well. If you are going to take opiates wait at least 3 days after you have taken suboxone if you want to actually feel the opiate because it takes that long for the suboxone to get out of your system.You will not get sick if you are already stabilized on suboxone. If you are taking suboxone daily and you take any opiate on top of it, it will not make you sick. The naltrexone Naloxone is only activated when the pill is crushed for potential IV use, otherwise not enough of the naltrexone Naloxone is activated to make you sick. I have taken pain killers within hours of taking my suboxone to try and relieve some of the pain that the suboxone was not taking care of and I didnt get sick.
How long after taking a suboxone can you take an oxy and have its normal effects?
I can answer this question from personal experience. I'm a struggling recovering opiate addict and am now prescribed to Suboxone. I'm prescribed 4mg in the morning and 4mg in the early evening, so 8mg a day. I know that if I wait for 24 hours after taking my last dose of Suboxone I can feel about 60%-70% of the oxy. If I continue to do them, the amount that I am able to feel it goes up. After the third day of being off my Suboxone I can finally feel the oxy 100%.
Can it be used for opiate addiction?
Opiates are legal, as long as you have a valid prescription. They are considered illegal if you have obtained them without a prescription. The only completely illegal opiate out there is heroin, being as it is never prescribed.
