Default suboxone question please help!

I want to start off by saying that I do not use any drugs recreationally and I am simply asking for answers on this topic because I am curious beccause no one can seem to get an accurate answer.

How long does the " blocking effect " of suboxone or more importantly naloxone stay in your system after being on a medium does of suboxone (16mg/day) for say 2 months? In other words how long would it take before you could get high again on other opiates? The answers I've seen vary greatly some people say outrageous amounts like 24-30 days others say about 3-4 if anyone could help me out it would be of much help. let me make clear i do not plan to use any drugs nor do I take suboxone. I am just tring to find out what the real answer is. Thanks.

Default

why would you care unless you want to get high?

it should be 1-4 days(it depends on the size of the habit preceding the use of suboxone,( the bigger the habit, the more receptors, the shorter the sub lasts), the naloxone does NOTHING unless you inject the sub, it is ineffectively absorbed sublingually and in too small a qty to be active if taken appropriately.

It is simply the buprenorphine's high affinity to the receptors(it sticks good), that blocks other opiates from getting in.
