Before answering any type of question about medications, I would advise always being cautious when seeking any type of medical advice on the internet and always consult with your regular physician before making any changes to your prescription medications. The answer I am providing for you is for general information and should not be accepted as a substitute for guidance from a medical professional.
Your answer in short: it depends on what narcotics (opioids) have been taken and what their individual "peak onset of action" is.
This can vary greatly among the different opioids out there (heroin, Oxycontin/oxycodone, Lortab/Norco/hydrocodone, propoxyphene, morphine, fentanyl, hydromorphone, codeine, etc) . It is not generally dependent on how long the user has been taking the specific opioid as chronic use/addiction is understood as a requirement of this drugs prescription requirement.
Only a doctor specializing in drug-dependence in a regular medical setting can answer this question more specifically without risk of liability. There is also training required of physicians that is specific to this drug before the physician is allowed to prescribe it.
For general information, there are two known possible adverse events that can happen if Suboxone is taken to quickly after narcotic ingestion:
As buprenorphine, one of the two drugs that makes up Suboxone, is a mild opioid drug, it has the potential to have an additive effect of increased central nervous system (CNS) depression (as in, you could stop breathing, heart stop beating, etc).
Naloxone (Narcan) is a opioid antagonist (a "narcotic blocker" if you will) and can cause sudden and severe withdrawal symptoms (vomitng, seizures, agitation, etc).
Hope that helps and be sure to talk to your doctor.

It is safe to be on Suboxone and Vyvanse at the same time. However, Vyvanse is considered to be a narcotic and Suboxone blocks the effects of narcotics. There would be no effect from Vyvanse if taken.
The suboxone will just cancel the morphine out? You will just waste the morphine. Suboxone is a narcotic inhabitor which means it blocks the effects of all narcotics.
No
Narcotics can be ingested any number of ways. Many narcotics are eaten, smoked or injected. Injection is the fastest method to the bloodstream.
I have been on Suboxone for 3 years and I have taken GABAPENTIN and Suboxone and it doesn't ruin the effect of suboxone because I am perscribed Gapabentin guess u could say it isn't a benzo
defeats the purpose but, if your on suboxone, you wont feel the pain killers no matter how many you take (because of the narcan), you would have to be off suboxone for 3 days at least before you can take any narcotics for pain.
Suboxone is the newest drug doctors are prescribing. I think some are also using subutex.
No if you are on Suboxone you are not supposed to be taking any narcotics at all.
Methadone and Suboxone should not be taken together. Mixing these medications will cause severe withdrawals no matter how much of each is taken.
24-48 hrs if taken once
no you'll get violently ill. suboxone and opiates can't be taken within 24 hours of each other.
It usually dissolves completely within five minutes, but if they have been on a shelf for awhile can take up to 10 minutes. Suboxone should only be taken sublingually(dissolved under tongue), if not taken this way it is virtually ineffective.
