How Long After Taking A Suboxone Can You Take An Opiate? (Page 9) (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.

If I have been taking 1 8mg strips for 7 weeks now how long would I have to wait before I could take my old recommended dose of hydrocodone which was 100 milligrams? I have not taking any sub in the last 28 hours.

I've never went into severe withdrawal from suboxone taken too soon. I take 4 30 mgs a day sometimes more of oxycodone. Wen I run out I will take a suboxone. Within 3-4 hours. No problem. There is no reason to suffer and wait till your in withdrawal. That's just plain crazy.

TONY: Why on earth would you be taking an opioid antagonist along with opioids? That makes no sense. Basically you following opioids with a drug made to BLOCK opioids. Seems counterproductive.

TONY: And if you take enough Suboxone, too close to those oxys, you will know what we are talking about. And you WON'T want it. Oxys are very short acting, so they go out of your body fairly quickly. And then you say you "take a Suboxone", which I assume is 8mgs. So if you want to check that theory about Precipitated Withdrawal, take a couple of oxys, wait about an hour, and then take a couple of Subs. And then hold on, because I guarantee you will not like the ride. I have been there.

One day ago in the morning I took a piece of a suboxone. I feel like s*** with chills, runny nose, hot / cold, back & fourth to the bathroom. Can I take a percocet?

Yes you are simply feeling the affects of not having any Benzo's on your system. You can have withdrawal from those also. Is a matter of fact . Very unpleasant . Good Luck

SWEETIE720: Sorry, I didn't see this sooner. If you take Suboxone/Subutex too soon after taking full agonist opioids (Vicodin, Percocet, morphine, etc) you can go into what is called Precipitated Withdrawals. Suboxone/Subutex (generic name Buprenorphine) is a partial agonist opioid, which means it will "block" any and all other opioids from attaching to the receptors. Which as an opioid addict, you DON'T want. So taking more Percocets at that time probably wouldn't help much. Hopefully you only took a small amount of the Suboxone, and it would be out of your system by now. Remember, if you take opioids, and then take Subs too soon afterwards, you will get pretty sick.

Excuse me, I am in the same predicament as you. I've been on suboxone for a year and a half.. I had to get stitches today. I took half of an 8mg suboxone, so 4mg at about 7am and it's now 3:15pm. I am not looking to feel high, but I'm in serious pain. Will the Percocet help or not?

MIKEY: Are you saying that the last time you took Suboxone was Tuesday? Again, taking Suboxone BEFORE taking an opioid won't give you withdrawals. It is when you take Suboxone too soon AFTER taking the full-agonist opioids that gets you into trouble. Taking the Suboxone BEFORE taking full-agonist opioids basically makes that opioid ineffective. You won't get much effect from it, if any. That's what it is SUPPOSED to do. But either way, you should be fine if Tuesday was the last time you took Bupe, especially since it sounds like you took a pretty small amount.

Scotty lass,

So you were taking subs everyday x 2 years and successfully titrated down to zero sub in a 15 day period?? That seems unbelievably rapid for such a substantial dose and for a considerable length of time?? That's beyond awesome have you any withdrawal effects at all since being drug free?? Just curious... Good for you..

SHORTY: Sorry, but your "one size fits all" formula isn't going to work for that many people. And one certainly doesn't need to be on "hundreds of $ worth of dope a day" to need WELL over 1 and 2mgs if Suboxone to get relief. That amount, 1 or 2mgs of Bupe, wouldn't have even TOUCHED me, and I was never on HUNDREDS of dollars worth of dope. And I don't see how that formula even worked for YOU, since Opana is one of the stronger pain killers out there. Most of the addicts I know and have worked with (including myself) would be left in bad shape from this "formula".

You are one of the few people who hit this nail right on the head. I 100%percent agree with you been in a program 10years and on box for 12 yrs. U don't get sick right away, and you do stay sick much longer. Your answer was right on the money! Fabulous! Thank you.

First part of your reply is not quite accurate. Your brain start producimg less not more...
Ome year is still b.s.
2 days, it works between 60 to 8p percent
3 days it'll work good.
I also knew a guy who used 0.5ml of sub daily and used opioid weekly.
However the best part you said is that taking off subaxone is one the hardest I've ever had. Methadone ain't that bad but sub was a killer and i was on it for 3.5 years. It simply doesn't finish!
