How Long Do I Have To Wait Take Suboxone after taking 10mg oxycodone so i dont go into precipitated withdrawals?

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!!

Well there here where I live and what do keep talking about withdrawals?? I have been on subutex for 6 months and when I have sever pain I'll take a norco 10 after it helps no withdrawals. I have worked in the medical field . So I'm confused how could subutex and another pain reliver could cause withdrawal. I would not recommend it. You only have withdraws if you run out of your meds and don't have any. I don't get it

Hurting or withdrawaling? Sub wont help pain a 40 op wouldn't help!
If u withdrawal ur going to "waste" both...you can take sub prec wd is bs...but better have full script of sub because 1?wont be enough to overcome wd! Esp if u already wd on a long acting med!!!

Til you feel like you are not well. I did that too when I was taking Suboxone it's not a good idea to take opiates very often if you don't want to go through withdrawals anymore. I still if I can find any pain killers will take a few and then stop. I can't find any opiates around anymore where I live. I guess
that's a double edged sword.

I would say definitely not. Any informed Dr would tell you that if you have either one in your body at the same time it will immediately throw you into acute withdrawal. Trust me it's happened to me twice. Once I thought I was gonna die. I was on oxycodone and took subs before all the oxy was out of my body and I was experiencing full withdrawal symptoms. It through me into immediate and far more severe withdrawal than if I had waited. Do not play with that without knowing the facts. You will pay severely and painfully.

Ive never heard of any dr prescribing Both; however, i was on sub when had emergency surgery & anesthialogist said "not a prob" & at that time was newbie to sub so had alll the paranoia about "precip" wd & he said total bs but anes/& post op meds would be adjusted/temp increased from normal protocol to account for the long happy life of sob which would block some of backs of the anesthia/post op med etc people do need to be honest with their doctors and with their situations I don't think all doctors or pharmacist however are honest with their patients or dont fully understand Saab except what the marketing and courses teach them & teach them to "tell patients" ...it does seem strange to use one op or partial op to get off another... But I think it's longer half-life stops truly addicted people from "feining" every 4 hours & def helps physical wd. Never heard of a doctor prescribing both !

You said because Suboxone is supposed to take you off opiates but opiate patients take Suboxone as stoppage measure. Is this not saying the same thing. Most patients take Suboxone if taken corrective to help with their addiction. Not to feel high! No reputable doctor would tell you that it was safe to take Suboxone with other opiates. Why would you be going back and forth between the two? I know my pain management doctor would never give me both. These meds suppress the respiratory system so you should be careful mixing the two.

Your not in withdraws just two hours after taking your pill. The medication is still in your system. So it's not medical possible to be withdrawn.

Merekai you are one of the first people I have seen posted on this site with correct information. Taking Suboxone for the right reasons. Suboxone is made to block some of the opiates in medication. So it would make not make any sense to take another opiate with it. Like you said if your buying them through other means your wasting your money. God speed with you in your recovery.

You would be dead if you took 600mg of MS Contin. This is the long acting Morphine and remains in your system longer. Be real and not brag and make up some amount.

Your only supposed to take subutex by itself and no other opiod with it. It's supposed to be used to help you stay off other pain pills as well as giving u pain relive. I'm shocked at an idot doctor that would give both at the same time. So don't do it you won't feel the other. When I broke my neck my doc took me off the subutex or suboxone and gave me something else norco 10mg. I had no problems now I'm back on the subutex I have been on this for over 6 months with no problems never had a withdrawal while on it. It's doctors like that that make it hard on all of us who need meds

This is been discussed multiple times on many boards, you do not have to wait. I've had surgeries after being on Suboxone anesthesiologist of told me precipitated withdrawal is our bulls*** that what they are is simply not enough Suboxone on board to fill the opiate receptors and that you're simply experiencing regular withdrawal. I've gone back-and-forth many times and everyone I know on Suboxone has as well no one has experienced precipitated withdrawal's once. when I felt like I was still withdrawing while on Suboxone the pain management doctor told me it's simply because the 8 mg was not enough and to take another eight or another four but precipitated withdrawal is total BS!!! If u feel wd after taking an opiate it's because you did not take up Suboxone and opiates can be taken safely with Suboxone as explained by the anesthesiologist. it's not a problem. I don't know why Suboxone manufactures perpetuate the Smith maybe they want people completely miserable in total full on withdrawal so then a little bit of Suboxone will save them! But I've been on a high dose of opiates and will take sub at the next scheduled time four hours later totally fine! Try it if you don't believe me and if you start to deal with withdrawl you take another sub and you'll be fine. it's just regular withdrawal under treated by one strip or pill of Suboxone is not precipitated! Just my opinion and the opinion of about 95% of sub patients!! If going from sub to ops you may not feel as much opiate response but you won't have WD either! So if subs and opiates were mutually exclusive it would work in both directions. I really think it's marketing bulls*** because sub is supposed to take you off opiates but many opiate patients take sub as a stoppage measure. If having problems filling, finding their scripts, etc. Just an opinion, clearly not medical advice. Do whatever works for you!!!

Sorry Jude...that awful...
i have friend who was ling term op addict...she went on sub and it seemed like a miracle cure I don't think she ever fully stopped the subs hanging around that I half a milligram to milligram -- no work yourself back to six mg per day ...
What I find most disheartening is I do think subs are a miracle it would certainly and a lot of hepatitis over does homelessness and a lot of things that come with your win and really severe op abuse

Regarding the last post I always take subs within four hours of oral morphine short acting never had a problem w prec wd...fentyl so strong and such a frightening medication although very necessary I don't think I would trust subs to be able to overcome WD from fenyyl

Good luck with your struggle Jude he did it once you can do it again !!!

You know everyone its a big mobkey on our backs i had 4 operations on one foot ended up addicted to opiets FINALLY when i could not get any more i suffered withdrawl and we all know how that feels so i went into a saboxin program now i ended up breaking 4 ribs and bruising my lung yup had to go back on perks (really needed them) this particular dr was giving a hell of lot of perks as an addict of course i am going to eat them! Well i overdid it and have my saboxin waiting for me at the pharmacy well cuz i ate so many perks i cannot get my saboxin for 28 days going thru withdrawal and mad at myself for asking the dr for more scripts when i was not in any pain anymore!!!!!! All i can say is it really really sucks to be an addict and we are not all to blame that runs in our genes whos mother grandmother grandfather had addiction problems i wish everyone good luck and strength and will power NOT to let this take over our lives

The two that really need to be watched out for are oral Morphine and Fentanyl - one should def wait before taking sub as one can throw themsleves into a nightmare WD - wait as long as poss w/these two for sure!!!! Thru exp have found that 6 hrs really is enough time for many meds to get out if system - Sub I have been able to take 4 hrs after taking Dilaudid as well as Hydrocodone. Of course we are all different but many need not get super sick before starting Sub - always tho talk w/good doc you trust.

Your experience was likely simply not enough sub to counteract the opiate & were on opiate wd. Not only do i have experience personally that waiting is total bs--anesthialogist told me total bs before & after major surgeries/knocked & went back & forth w/ subs & opiates-- everybody is different its true so people need to take "board advice" lightly but funny how when people think its precip wd-if they take another 8mg of sub--it goes away!! Its straight opiate w/d without enough sub onboard to allevitate it!! Anesth dr was like "wd is dangerous, sub is just a partial opiate so not getting full affect of ops/knock med so we have to adjust" & they did the same when i asked for sub in hospital After surgical pain was under control and had been on iv morphine for 3 days!!! They said not a prob & started sub immediately but started w higher dose 24mg instead of 16--for one day...precip wd is bs...its good old fashioned opiate wd without enough sub on board to fix...just my opin ... But everybody starts out with the precipitated withdrawal "paranoia"
