How long should you wait to take Suboxone after taking hydrocodone?

Answer 1

Ok, I do these things too...I take 20 mg. of Suboxone daily....I have found, that you can still use opiates (pain killers) and even herion even just 10 hours later.....and still get some mild effects..if you wait longer of course, the higher you'll feel and you would want to take alot more Vicodin than usual to get the same hydrocodone effects you would've been used toif you want the MAX euphoric feeling....wait long enough to srt feeling sick from lack of suboxone and then take them...then youll get the response your looking for

Answer 2

You need to wait a minimum of 18 to 24 hours, until you are in full withdrawal from the hydrocodone. but why would you ever want to take hydrocodone again after taking suboxone.....suboxone saved my life...im a recovering opiate addict and if it werent for subs i would most likely be dead....hang in there and good luck on your road to recovery

Answer 3

You need to wait a minimum of 18 to 24 hours, until you are in full withdrawal from the hydrocodone. Otherwise, the Suboxone on top of the hydrocodone will produce the worst withdrawal symptoms you have ever felt. You will get really sick.

It's okay to do the reverse (take hydrocodone on top of Suboxone), though.

Answer 4

at least 72 hours

honestly, and this is speaking from my own personal experience as of this past monday, i waited almost 48 hours before taking a ten mg. lortab, after being on 8 mg suboxone for almost 6 months. i took the last 4 mg of suboxone that i had on monday evening around 3 pm and took the lortab on wednesday around 1 pm and by wednesday i was feeling like a gigantic bag of poop. i had the chills, diarrhea, restlessness etc already. I decided to quit suboxone all-together and am currently using lortab to combat the withdrawals, which is a bit ironic since i started using the suboxone to combat withdrawals from a nasty lortab habit. it seems a never ending circle and for the longest time i thought the sub was a wonder drug. now i'm wondering if it would have just been easier to slowly withdraw from lortab and be done with it. i am sure that the sub is a much powerful opiate and pain reliever, and the lortab only touches a fraction of the w/d symptoms .hope this helps and good luck in your endevors.

Answer 5

It takes about 24 hours after your last dose of suboxone for a vicodin or percocet will become effective

Answer 6

That issue should be discussed with the physician who prescribed the Suboxone. The answer is variable, depending on a number of factors.

Answer 7

Atleast 24 hours.
