Default How long does Suboxone block opiates?

I looked up other related threads but none of them really answered my question. If you know the answer i would really appreciate some help. I tried taking some Suboxone for pain because I ran out of my vicodins, and now that I have some vicodin I am afraid it wont work because of the suboxone. I only took about 5mg of suboxone two days ago and I am wondering how long I should wait before I try using the vicodins again to get rid of the pain. I would rather not waste the vikes if they arent going to work. Can anyone help me??

Buprenorphene (suboxone,subutex) has a half-life of a minimum 72 hrs so you can try anytime now.Next time don't take suboxone or any other drug that isn't prescribed to you.......Dave

I am in the same boat as you - I stopped Suboxone (4 mg) two days ago and STILL can't feel the effects of my painkillers
