How Long After Taking A Suboxone Can You Take An Opiate? (Page 10) (Top voted first)

I have been on 8 mg/2mg Suboxone strips for 1 year. I am having a tooth (back molar) extraction in the morning. I used my Suboxone strip this morning & the tooth extraction is at 9:30 am tomorrow. If I don't use another Suboxone strip before the extraction, would I be able to take Hydrocodone after my surgery? I don't want to get sick, but I am terrified of going through this surgery with no pain meds. Please help.

I had the same situation... I took last Suboxone
The night before,. Went through dental work and the Dentist told me that the 1st dose may not work if the dose of opiod isn't high enough..
He gave me 10mg of oxycodone and told me to take it after Novocaine wore off... If it didn't help, I could take another, but no more than 2 every 6 hrs!
Hope This helps...
I got relief after talking the 2nd oxycodone! Good luck

I took a 1/4 of suboxone earlier this morning but tomorrow I have to take Halcion for a root canal but I'm not taking my sub. Could I have bad side effects from this? HELP!

STEVE: Whenever I have relapsed in the past, it is mostly because of not sleeping, the night time stuff. That is the hardest time for me as well, so I fully understand what you are saying. Can you get a doctor to prescribe you some Clonidine? It can help with the RLS as well as sleep.

LOLA: Sorry I didn't reply sooner. Halcion is not an opioid, so taking it with Suboxone will NOT cause withdrawal.

I don't know you but I'm happy for you tat you stuck to your program. I ran out once on vaca in another state and no way to get more till a came home. An er Dr gave me methadone because he said nothing else would provide me with the relief I got from my subs. I still regret having to take it but I would have been sick as a dog other wise! Good job.

I found that definitely is a way to detox using 2 mg sub & right after to do a 30 Roxy and only deal with the urge but no sickness for 5 days works

This is true. Subs change your tolerance for a long time. I'm off then now but it took me a year before my tolerance went to normal. I was given 8 Lortab 10's after an ER visit & not one helped with pain.

I.ve been on methadone oxycodone, oxycontin, hydrocodone and currently 8/2 suboxone for pain. I keep telling my doctor THE SUBOXONE IS NOT WORKING FOR PAIN RELIEF! i'M SO TIRED OF FIGHTING WITH DOCTORS AND WITHDRAWALS AND SURGERIES I'VE HAD ALL I CAN TAKE. FOR ME SUBOXONE SIMPLY DOESN'T HELP WITH MY PAIN. I am at the end of my rope. All these people want to make opiates illegal and so hard to get well i wish they could live with my pain. They would have a much different opinion on all this stuff.

Try finding a source of Subutex whick dosnt have the nalexone in it (not Soboxone!) without the opiod antagonist thats in Subutex then the switch should be "relatively painless. Its. still possable to find Subutex if u look hard enough. The subutex has NOT got that lemon-type taste...just so u know the diff. U DO NOT WANT TO take Soboxone wit op8's, especially methadone.......This is hell on earth! All the best from Scotland.

I took 4mg of suboxone this morning around 8am. I have a cracked tooth and got some 10mg hydrocodone for pain relief. I was wondering when I can take the hydrocodone and actually feel them? Thank you in advance.

QUESTIONS: Sorry I didn't see your comment sooner. You will probably be able to get pain relief from the Vicodin at this point. And 4 mgs isn't that much. Just make sure to give it time before starting back on the Suboxone.

I took a 2mg Suboxone film once to see if it would help with withdrawal and cravings, and it soothed the symptoms a lot. How long would it take before I could take a Percocet or hydrocodone and feel it?

I have back pain. I have been on Suboxone for two months. I take one 8mg dose twice a day, but I hadn’t taken one in two days. Right now I am in serious back pain and I have two 7.5mg doses of Norco that I need to take for pain. Do u think it will be ok if I take them?

Re: me (# 9)

You see, these people do not know what they are talking about. If you are on suboxone and you are in an accident or have teeth extractions, what these *****s do not understand is that your dr will have to give you a much higher dose of the opiate for it to work. Come on people, if an emergency happens and you are in pain, and the dr is going to say there is nothing I can do for 48 hrs, it's wrong.

Here's my experience: if you take 1 single strip 8mg of sub you'll be able to feel the opiates before 24 hours, it just won't be as strong. If it's a single time use of suboxone to get through sickness: if you take 2mg sub, you'll feel opiates in 12 hours; 4mg=16 hours. I'm a smaller guy but I take 4 mg of subs a day during the week, then take opiates on Saturday. If I wait 18 hours after my last 4mg dose, I usually take my normal 3-4 oxy 30s and I feel them pretty strongly. That's just my case. Hope this helps some people.
