Is your alcohol consumption damaging your health, risking your job or straining your relationships? Are you experiencing blackouts? Are you unable to stop for any real length of time? Do you hide your drinking? How clear do your eyes look? If you question any of these things, ask your friends and family for some feedback. Talk to a doctor. Check out an AA (twelve-step) meeting.

You decrease your dosage very slowly, over an extended period of time (at least a few weeks, but more like a few months). The slower you do it, the easier it will be. For example, if you are on 16 mgs a day (two 8 mgs pills), take 14 mgs on Sunday, 16 on Monday, 16 on Tuesday, 16 on Wednesday, 14 on Thursday, 16 on Friday, 16 on Saturday, 16 on Sunday, 14 on Monday... In other words, take your regular dose, 16 mgs, three days in a row, and on the fourth day take 14 mgs.
Then, after a few weeks, start taking 14 on Sunday, 16 on Monday, 16 on Tuesday, 14 on Wednesday (16 mgs for two days, then 14 mgs on the third day).
After a few weeks of that, start taking 14 mgs every other day: 14 on Sunday, 16 on Monday, 14 on Tuesday, etc., etc.
After a few weeks of that, you can start going down from 14 mgs to 12 mgs, and so on and so on.
about 3 to 4 days maximum ounce you stop taking the suboxin but about 3 days

the half life of suboxone is 36 hours. So 72 hours would eliminate the suboxone from you entirely. But depending on your dose you could have oxycodone work sooner. Example if your mu receptors are not filled (2mg suboxone or below). But all in all you will have to wait a full two days before the oxycodone will work to your satisfaction, to my expierence.
How does alcohol abuse affect a marriage?
It can affect a marriage in almost every possible way but it usually begins with negatively affecting communication such as arguments, isolating, lying about how much was consumed and generally pulling away from your spouse.
My Dr told me 24 hours but it was way too soon. I threw up every 10 min and didn't eat or sleep for 2 days. It will be painful but I would wait 3 or 4 days because methadone has such a long half life. The withdrawals for those few days are nothing compared to take the sub to early!
