You are so lucky. I have been taking suboxone for years and just had surgery my sub Dr prescribed oxy 10mg was taking 2 @ time every 3 hrs for 2 weeks. Took last oxy @ 11 pm. Woke up @ 7 am figured it was okay to take 1/2 strip of Sub so 4 MG and within 5 minutes started sweating feeling sick horrible w/d.

Help I am scared. I have been on 2 mg suboxone for 2 years and the past two weeks I ended up taking Vicodin . It has been a 24 hours since my last 10 mg Vicodin and I just took a 2 mg suboxone. I'm so scared I will start pw! Does anyone think I will be ok?

I have never understood the hype or propgandA or lie regarding "pw" if someone takes sub (film) b4, After, or even w an opiate. It is totL bs it causes wd. Every sub film & opiate user i know agrees total bs! Perhaps propagNda to keep people clean or on one product ( replacement ) for another product like an opiate . I suffered many years during a Roxy shortage and cancer treatment afraid to take a sub because everything I read about precipitated withdrawal and then I found out from a sub users who either ran short or had pain they would mix the two and never have any problem I'm talking long-term opioid patients and long term large dose sub patients . They and I have now taken it and every variety combination right before one another right after one another or with both on board never as it caused any withdraw ever .
I believe the Suboxone is actually a superior painkiller and wish it would be approved for that . Just my opinion and the opinion of about 25 other chronic and or terminal patients I know none of us understand they lie about precipitated withdrawal and it is a lie or it's all mental

Thanks for answering .. I took the 2 mg suboxone anyways and it was fine. No pws and I feel better than ever ! Thank god! So I feel like everyone is different but I waited 24 hours after taking an opiate to take my sub.

Hey.. u should only take 2 mg of subs 4 times a day for 2 days. Then step yourself down... about a week total... it's worse coming off subs than pills.. I would suggest getting some type of benzos to help for a month or two.. hope I could help.

Glad you took that second one and felt fine -- when I say I suffered waiting many times because I was afraid sub would take me into PW's I'm not kidding. I also agree with the other users who say they believe that PW when you start Suboxone is and actually PW it's your actual opiate withdrawal and you simply do not have enough Suboxone on board in the receptors. I have seen Suboxone work wonders for other people I have a friend who I would've never believed was on pills for years due to a legitimate medical problem but Suboxone worked such a miracle on her if she told me later that she was on pills I would've never Believe tour or I would've thought it was just a low dose for a number of years. However after she was on Suboxone for a year she stepped down she's very good about stepping down and eventually was taking almost hair like pieces of Suboxone the films since she cut them when stepping down as close as you can to jump off spot~~ I don't know if it's the pharmaceutical mechanism of action or simply the longer half-life but Suboxone withdraw doesn't cause that panic of opiate withdrawal whereby the hour you know how much worse it gets Suboxone seems to get worse by the day when stepping down -- this is the advice of my friend not me I've never had full replacement but she did and she didn't properly but she claims that the PAws you know the postacute withdrawal syndrome from the sub created more depression than any opiate then she claimed was worse and after maybe six months of being clean she's back on Suboxone which now appears to be both her drug of choice and drug of replacement. When she was clean and during her step down maybe she was even on some for a year and a half or two years but she and I both discussed she thought the brain healing that occurred during replacement therapy the brain healing from chronic opiate use was the biggest benefit of the Suboxone. I think she return to Suboxone in truth due to boredom/the addictive personality but also because of the huge depression. Suboxone seems to stimulate that positive feeling I think even more so than opiates so I think in effort to treat her with drawl she returned to the Suboxone either way she's trying to step back down now. I think used properly Suboxone is a miracle drug I think the government should give it to opiate addict's for free but I know that will never happen but I think used properly and step down properly it creates a miracle for a lot of people so if you have the financial and medical ability to take Suboxone properly and step down -- I hope you take full advantage of it and let it be a miracle in your life but be very careful of the depression that happens after you discontinue Suboxone and don't run into the situation that my friend has. Good luck

Hi. I took 3 10 hydrocodone pills today. I took my last one at 4pm. When is the absolute earliest I can take my sub? I didn't even feel the effects of the pills. It made me feel not sick because I was taking percs for a few weeks straight. I don't know if I can handle being sick for a whole 24 hours.

Agreed. I have used op/sub or sub/op either direction at what would just be my next dose same time four hours or whatever never had PW it's completely along either direction at what would just be my next dose same time four hours or whatever never had PW it's complete BS!!
If u take sub & feel wdishb then you just simply don't have enough sub on board to match your prior op!
Sub is for Replacing and Stopping op-- so I think the PW Is part of the marketing/psychological propaganda Because when you are in severe wd & take sub it feels like a miracle! So think it creates a psy reinforcement of "wow. This sub saved me from wd agony!" And psy bonds you to sub & the commitment to replacement therapy!
Every long term pm says same thing--no pw going in "either" direction!!

Also, every pm i know agrees Sub can be awesone/better for pain same/better than ops--yet, it is still a "op replace therapy" not PM!
Its all marketing propaganda!
Sidenote: some pm patients & i discussed that when we were younger or before we knew what " WD was " we did not recollect having such severe WD symptoms does anyone else have that same experience ?

How long do you wait to take narcos after taking suboxone

REPLY

You dont have to wait! Perc wd is bs! Read my post below! Your narco effect may be blocked a little bit but i have taken oxy 1-2 hrs after sub & it felt almost like normal & of course no PW that is totally bogus BS! As another poster said they take a combo of an op as another poster said they take a combo of sub and opiate monthly & have no prob!

Yes. Also, for me it did not increase alcohols affect . But i dont drink with opiates--i "could" but every accidental overdose seems to be something Plus alcohol. I will have a glass or two of champagne over the course of eight hours with my Oxy for New Year's But otherwise alcohol and opiates seen a very bad combo .
I know your question was about sob the only time I drink alcohol is when I'm on subs !
Dont go crazy, see how it affects you--start slowly.

I am am addictive personality there was a time not to long ago I would take about anything I could get my hands on but now at age 50 I have found my drug of choice is norco. I came to terms with this (long story) and decided to end the love affair and through reading your wonderful posts found Suboxone. Unfortunately I ended up with a doc I could not realy talk to or relate to not blaming that but after about 6 glorious months on Suboxone I felt I was ok and ready to take matters. Into my own hands.... WRONG!!!! I went almost seamlessly back to my old ways, it just wasn't fun anymore. I was so aware of what I was doing to myself and the ones I love. Anyway I took 2 10mg Oxy this morning and my last 2 10 mg norco at 9pm, I have 5 8mg strips of sub left from prior treatment and want to know when can I start induction??? My plan is to start with one mg wait two hrs then do one more I have to make this last as I don't know where I will get the funds to go back on full time . So do I have to wait all day tomorrow and go through full DTs ? How soon can I get some relief? When I fist started with doc assists the really messed me up gave me 4mg sent me home said to take 4 more 2 hrs later and I've never been so sick in my life!!!! Any advice would b helpful, thank you all sooo much for your posts they help more than u know!!!!
