Sorry your wrong oxycodone has a half life of 4 hours and it will still be in your system 6hours.

I agree w/ ur theory...a friend & i discussed when we were on high dose long ops when young could just stop. I was on meds late teens early 20s for gyno cancer & after like 5 years just stopped sovi could start planning to get preg. Zero wd seriosly
I swear i never had wd until later in life (20 years later) &!even then only after i "heard about it"
Did have more psy add feeling in past than i do now, however

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.

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.

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.

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 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 don't do d but I'm perscribed oxycodone and I have friends that do d and they said when there trying to get off that they have to wait until withdraws because strips have narcon in them and that works against opioids narcon is used for when someone overdoses so taking a strip after d will put you in more intense withdraws compared to just trying to kick so wait until you start getting sick

Once and for all nobody has to wait, there is no such thing as precipitated withdrawal's. If you take Suboxone and you feel like you're having withdrawals that's simply your opiate withdrawals and under treatment was the box and just take another strip and you'll be fine.

Like other people I've been on long term opiates but also been in the hospital with cancer and the doctors immediately gave me not just my pain medication but my Suboxone. There are no interactive problems. I think it's marketing propaganda to make people feel like super s*** in major withdrawals then when they take it three days later instead of immediately they feel like Sub is a godsend which it is, but if you wait three days to take it you've already been through the main part of withdrawal so don't even bother with subs, otherwise just take them immediately when you would've taken your next dose of opiates. There's no reaction. I know so many people that mix their opiates and Suboxone. There are no problems doing that.

My situation is so similar, been getting prescribed norcos for 11 years. It sucks being miserable and in pain and sucks that pain management is so horrible and life controlling.
