Well, buprenorphine (the active ingredient in suboxone) has a mean half life of around 40 hours. But buprenorphine is very unique, in that it has a ceiling effect around 4 mgs. This means that if you take 8 mg a day, approx. 40 hours later (depending on your metabolism) you should still have the same effects as when you first took it. Also, buprenorphine has a very high affinity for opiod receptors in the brain and it will not allow any other opiate/opiod to occupy those spots. So to put all of this info together to give you the answer to your question, I would say, that depending on your metabolism, it will take about 4 half lives to feel the full effect of oxycodone. To make it easy, I would give it anywhere from 3 to 5 days. But keep in mind you can take oxycodone whenever you wish after you take suboxone, but you will not get any effects from it. (CAUTION! all of this stuff I have told you is assuming you do not IV your suboxone because when you IV suboxone the naloxone becomes activated and that is a very different pain in the ass)

Yes, just because you dont take oxycodone orally doesnt mean your saliva doesnt contain the drug. If oxycodone is in your system then it will be detected in your saliva from a mouth swab. Depending on how much oxycodone you are taking, it can stay in your system for up to a few weeks or as little as a few days.

I won't hurt you. However,the Suboxone blocks the opiate receptors in your brain so you will not feel anything by taking the oxycodone. You will get the same if not better results by taking an motrin.

Not sure what you mean by improve! For some, like me, oxycodone greatly increases my sex drive. And for others, like my husband, it almost completely kills it. I think it affects men and women differently. Do you mean after you start taking it or after you've quit taking it?

What can you take with your 30mg oxycodone to help with sever pain?

It depends whether you're taking oxycodone + Tylenol or just oxycodone alone, how often your meds are dosed and any other medications that you are already taking/other medical problems you might have. If you're only on oxycodone you can start by taking Tylenol as indicated on the bottle. Discuss with doctor if this does not help. You can also try other OTC analgesics like aspirin or an NSAID as long as they are not contraindicated. Once again discuss with your doctor. Finally, if your pain is not controlled with your current dose, you should discuss other prescription options (which include increasing your dose of oxycodone). Hope this helps.

Can you take 325mg oxycodone and extra strength Tylenol?

From your question I assume you are referring to brand name Percocet or generic oxycodone with Tylenol? The most prescribed strength for Percocet is 325mg Tylenol and 5mg oxycodone, the opposite of what you wrote. If you do truly mean to ask if one can take 325mg oxycodone with Tylenol I highly recommend you take this question to your doctor before trying such a thing. In most instances, taking this much oxycodone would be fatal.
