10 to 15 minutes is the normal amount of time you should wait after taking a sublingual dose of Suboxone. It has nothing to do with the amount of drink or food in your stomach. It's not absorbed through the stomach wall, it's absorbed in the buccal cavity. Therefore you don't want to wash the medicine out with food or drink while it's trying to absorb in the buccal mucosa. It takes only a few minutes to completely absorb through the lining of the mouth but just to be safe you should wait about 10 minutes or 15 minutes to make sure any residual medication is not washed down the throat.

I would def. Inform your doctor or even the nurse. I have never heard this amd i have been on suboxone films and pills over the last 7 years. The worst thing i have had suboxone do is give ypu headaches, very tired, a high (which you shouldnt do), and give you a horrible withdraw because you wanted to tale pills and not be in a withdraw state before taling the suboxone. Good luck.

Hi David! Thank you for the information. It is very helpful to know. I was still a bit confused on the matter so I have been waiting an hour before eating and drinking. But , smoking a cigarette right before taking the suboxone. Thank you, again

Hi Cats,
I don't know if you're still looking for anymore opinions on the matter, but I've also heard different things regarding how long you should wait to eat or drink around your dosing schedule.
Jolter's Dr. may very well be correct too in his own right, but some rehab centers state that patients should not eat, drink or smoke for 30 minutes before or after their dose of Suboxone. Apparently food, beverages, and even nicotine are known to inhibit the absorption of Suboxone. So the emptier your stomach is, the better.
I hope this helps!
