It can be different from one person to the next, but my experience is as such: I had to detox from methadone to start a Suboxone detox, my last dose of methadone came on a Monday at 10AM, I was to start Suboxone on Thursday morning, the cold turkey off the methadone became a bit much by Wednesday. I shot 2 bags to curb the withdrawals at 4PM on Wednesday and was dosed with 16 mgs OS Suboxone at 8:30AM on Thursday as planned and was not feeling great but was safe from the sickness that comes from taking suboxone to soon after your last push off. Hope that helps a bit.
You don't have to wait
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......
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??
No so long as you tell them an take it like you Should
You should wait until you are experiencing full withdrawals. I would recommend waiting at least 36 hours and 48 hours if you can stand it. If you wait 48 hours you will definitely not get sick but I it is risky before that.
Yes you can. Taking suboxone first and then using can cause you to have withdrawals. But 12 hours should be enough to take subutex/suboxone
There should be no interactions.
no the suboxone blocks the "high" feeling. if you are not going into withdrawal yet do not take suboxone as it will push you into full withdrawal and you will be sick. it should not be started until 12 hours into withdrawal.
24hrs.
Yes, it is okay to take NyQuil if you are taking Suboxone. I am on Suboxone and I take NyQuil; in fact I just took some yesterday.
At least 2 days.
the next day
