Subutex contains Burprenorphine, and Suboxone contains Buprenorphine with Naloxone, so there shouldn't be any need to wait, you can normally make a smooth transition, unless your doctor says otherwise.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Are you on any other medications? What instructions has your doctor provided?
