Thank you Mr Clean! For some reason you seemed honest and knowledgeable. Everyone else were scarying the heck out of me....and Sure enough...your advice was 100. 12 hours after taking last oxycodone seemed to do the trick!!!!!!
THANK YOU!

If you want the correct way you should wait around eight hours. It sounds like you are serious about this. I hope you don't do like the others and go back and forth between other opiates and suboxone.

I am not a doctor but do take Subutex and have had to have pain medication post cancer. In my experience one need not wait too long a time after taking Oxycodone - one can take either Subutex or Suboxone withing 8 hours from last does and from my experience with will not throw one's self into a withdrawal. However - if it is Oxycontin then that is a different story and you should wait a good deal of time contingent upon the amount you have been taking. With Oxycodone, 40 mgs, I was able to take my Subutex in the morning when I woke and without any problem. Again, I am not a doctor but am sharing my experience with. The ones one must be very, very careful with taking Sus too soon are Morphine of any kind that has been taken orally (if it has been given intravenously it is out of your body within four hours respectively..but orally it lasts a long, long time and you must be very careful as if you do take too soon you will absolutely go into a precipitated w/d which is a nightmare. Fentanyl as well, one must wait also - with Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Hydromorphone (Percocet, Vicodin or Diaudid) - one is safe taking Sub eight hours after last use of. Best of luck to you. Hope this helps - always very good though to check with physician before ya do anything. Just sayin'...

If your really ready then you can ask your Dr where to set you up on the suboxin program. They are everywhere. But make sure this is what you want.

Hi i just wanted to say that i took 100mgs of oxycodone yesterday last dose being at about 5pm last night. By 8:30 this morning i was already feeling w/d but i waited until about 10am to take 8mgs of Suboxone...so that is 17 hours give or take...it is now 11:25 am and i feel 100% better...so that whole "wait 24-36 hrs" is NOT TRUE...at least with OxyCODONE.

Tracy you are the smartest person one here besides me. What Doctor would prescribe both suboxone and another opoaite at the same time? Either they are dr shopping or lieing about it. When I broke my neck my doctor took me off the suboxone and put me on norco for a few days I never had a withdrawal. I'm on subutex now and sometimes I'll take a norco a couple of hours later no withdrawal. I was on suboxone when I wrecked, the paramedics didn't know that I was to out of it to tell them they started pumping full of fentyal but I didn't feel it. They gave it to me until I got to a trauma center then I was given morphine, still nothing, then dilaudid ... finally relief but never a withdrawal.

Read this now. Please. It made me change my life! There's a video I watched once. The video explained that because of lab evaluations on rats in the 1970s, we have an oversimplified, incorrect framework of how addiction works. These diagnostics showed that if we give a rat the choice between plain water OR water spiked with coke, they’ll choose coke every time until they eventually drink themselves to death. This was repeated time and time again. Because of this, we assume that DRUGS are what cause addiction. You take opiates for 20 days, and the chemical changes cause your body to NEED this drug in order to avoid withdrawal. This is true… but it’s only half the story. If you break your hip, you’ll be given LOADS of high quality, pure opiates in a hospital in the form of morphine. So why don’t hospital stays cause the same exact addiction? Turns out, there was a problem with the rat evaluations. A researcher came forward and pointed out that the original rat given the choice of coke-laced water was in an empty cage all alone. He redesigned the study to include an experimental group called “Rat Park,” where the rat’s cage was FILLED with creature comforts: colored balls and toys for stimulation, tunnels, friends, and a mate to have intimacy with. Guess what? The rats in Rat Park hardly ever used the drugged water. NONE overdosed. Is this unique to rats? An accidental human experiment suggests otherwise.

During the Vietnam War, 20% of American troops were taking opiates. Why not? They were in a horrific jungle in a foreign country forced to kill or be killed. Just like the lonely rat in the empty cage, they had nothing else. Americans panicked thinking 100s of thousands of junkies would come back. Except they didn’t. The troops came back alright, but a phenomenon happened - no rehab, no withdrawal… 95% just STOPPED the drug altogether. “It’s not the chemicals, it’s your cage.” Human beings have an innate need to bond and connect. When we are happy and healthy, in positive environments, exposed to color and LIFE — we bond with the people & nature around us. When we can’t bond, because we’re traumatized, isolated, depressed, or trapped in a “cage”-like environment we feel we can’t escape, we’ll bond with SOMETHING that gives us relief. That may be alcohol at 5pm when we leave our 9-5 hamster wheels. That may be junk food when we feel alone and trapped in a body we hate. It could be endlessly checking our smartphones, pornography, video games, or drugs. Whatever it is, we WILL bond with something because that is our nature. Addiction is just one symptom of the crisis of disconnection that's happening all around us. “It’s not the chemicals, it’s your cage.”

I can’t blame America for craving unhealthy, processed food. We are removed from our natural habitats. We stare at concrete walls all day. Removing ourselves from nature has quieted our instincts and makes it so much harder to listen to what our bodies truly want. When you get outside into fresh air and BOND with NATURE instead of man-made materials, it’s so much easier to know when your body wants to sleep, how much, and what you want to eat. So if you’re in a cage right now, work on changing it slowly every day. Make time for nature. Make time for green grass and human BEing instead of human DOing. The way out of unhealthy bonds is to create healthy ones; go for a walk in the woods with people you WANT to be present with and connect. You will want more of what’s good, and less of what’s bad… effortlessly. Instead of forcing yourself to change your diet, change your environment and the diet falls into place. The happier you are, the healthier your choices will be, and at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.

It will be hell!! It happened to me because my DOCTOR said it was safe since 24 hours had passed!! I was only on hydrocodone for 2weeks after an oral tissue graft with complications from the harvest site. Anyway, my doctor said if it's been 24 hours go ahead and start. I had never gone through any major withdrawal but I was seizing!! I was sent to the ER (thanks to my hubby who left work as I was frantic at home with my two little girls!!) and I don't even remember getting there. I do remember crying to the doctor saying "why is this happening?!!" My medication was purely naloxone (just to help me stop drinking) but that's in subs. Anyway, I woke up 2 days later. Most horrific and embarrassing situation I've ever dealt with. Be careful people!! Maybe my metabolism is slower and that's why... but I'm in good shape (although that's not a sure thing).

Matthew, If you read alllll the sub literature-marketing propaganda & some drs say If you are Not like 3 Days into opiate wd, then magically sub (taken "too soon") will cause a "special withdrawal" called "precipitated" wd...and the logic by extension is that if someone is on sub & then takes an op, that they will then spiral into this magical hell of precipitated wd! Thereby making sub & op mutually exclusive....that is why all the ignorant questions exist about "how soon can i take an op". But kudos to you if you've never had a pharmacy issue or any shortage or simply started sub but had unbearable pain & needed to return to ops....But OF COURSE these people are asking because they are ping ponging back & forth! But to answer it again for all the new readers--precipated wd is total bs...coming off ops u can taken sub immediately (if u feel like u r still in wd ITS BECAUSE U NEED MORE SUB & its just the regular wd not fully suppressed!) if u are on sub full-time & have pain u can take ops (just like when i had surgery the anesthesiologist said sub? Precip wd? ...laughed at the ignorance of believing that!...ur op may not feel as strong.... These are just my opinions based upon experience & medical advice & everyone i know who has long term experience with sub...everyone needs to do what is right for them!

Yes you are so right!!! If you're only taking oxycodone or vicodin, it's good to wait at least 9 hrs before taking a piece of suboxone!!
