Iposted this on other board (venting) and thought it mite help here,
Default detox
I am hoping that someone can tell me how to do the suboxone, meaning how long do I have to wait to take 1st pill after last dose of narcotic. I am taking approx. 10 30mg. roxicette per day so 300 mgs. I know I have to wait but how long? This is not a time release pill but fast acting. Is 18 hours enough? Any help will be greatly appreciated, and will save my life in a sence

But again thanks

ranger18, You should be in withdrawal 24-48 hrs before taking sub, the longer the better! If you take sub too soon after taking last narcotic it will put you into a total w/d from med your on! Since your rox dose is so high the longer you wait taking sub after your last dose the better, that is why you got ill! Didn't your doc explain to you how it works, if not look for another one now!

Buprenorphene is a strange drug in that alot of times less works alot better than more.Once your in full withdrawls then try 4mgs.If in two hours you're no better then try 4mg more.Most people settle into taking suboxone twice a day.
One other thing, when you put the pill under your tongue make sure you leave it there and don't swallow it as the pill won't work if you swallow it.That's why it's a sublingual type pill.Most people try and spit if they can.Good luck and check back in as the other Dave is the real expert on bup.....Dave

the two previous posts are 100% correct, i am currently taking suboxone after being addicted to percocet and oxycontin for 3 years....


the thing i cannot stress enough is to not only wait 24 hours after last use, but to LET THE PILL DISSOLVE COMPLETELY UNDER YOUR TONGUE before digesting any of it...

suboxone is only effective when it is in the bloodstream, (chewing and swallowing it doesn't get nearly as much in the bloodstream) and the purple vein under your tongue is the most effective way to do this... AVOID EVEN TALKING while waiting for the pill to dissolve, it could take anywhere from 5-15 minutes....

hope this helped!!!
