Question Suboxone Question.. PLZ help

Okay This is my first post here by the way, SO im looking forward togetting to know all of you guys.

My Question is: Ok, today at around 5pm i took about 1mg max (maybe less) of Suboxone pill (8mg; just shaved off a chunk). I was using it as a one time think just to see the effects and help tapper down. But anways I am also prescribed OxyContin and was wondering if just doing 1mg-.8mgs of suboxone (this drug has Naltroxene (SP?) which i know can block opiate receptors, but i recently heard it was more due the Bupe, when it comes to blocking the receptors b/c it has such a high affinity. Anyways would it be ok for me to take a 40mg OC pill right now 7hrs sense i took the barley 1mg of Suboxone?

Cool How Long Does Suboxone last!?

Can someone please help with this question? I took about 1mg, maybe less, of Suboxone last night around 6pm (Thursday 5/15/06). It is now 8:0am Friday morning now. I Consumed 80mgs of OxyCodone last night and it got me faded so im thinking I didn't take enough Suboxone (Bupe, Naltroxene) to block my opiate receptors.. You must also remember that this was just a one day kinda thing (just felt like experimenting with Subs), I do not get Suboxone from the dr. i just had one 8mg tablet that i've been doing here and there...


SOOO my question is: How long will 0.7-1mg until i can start taking full opiate agonist such as Oxycodone/hydrocodone? Because i know that suboxone has that naltroxene (which is used to rip of all the opiates on your receptors and block them so no other opiates can abu stuff in them of course the Bupenorphine. Because i found it strangely weird that i was able to to that Suboxone (about 1mg) last night and then took 80mg Instant Release of OC and it very much worked and killed my pain but I also got , i dunno if it was the valium and xanax i was taking but man i could defiantly tell the OxyContin was working pretty darn good. sorry for rambling it just seems like no one answers me, maybe cuz im new? but im ready to start posting hope to talk to ya' guys soon!

question is: How long will 0.7-1mg take to wear off so I will be able to do some Oxy without wasting it b/c my opiate receptors are blocked by the Bupenorphine and Naltroxene???????

Im hoping and praying that 1mg (or less) of suboxone wasn't enuff to block my opiate receptors. Because I really wannda do some but i guess ill wait till i get an answer to make sure i don't waste it.

(It has been 15hours as of right now)

Good morning and welcome to the board,

While it's probably not gonna be a big deal due to the amount of Suboxone you have taken, it's NOT a good idea to take the 2 pills together. If you take an OC at night then take Suboxone in the morning you can have SERIOUS withdrawls (and I mean SERIOUS) When I first got on Suboxone I switched over from an OC habit of about 160mgs daily sometimes more. I wasn't in complete withdrawl and I took 8mgs of Suboxone. Well, I puked my guts out for about 12 hours straight. I now have been taking the Suboxone for about 6 months. I take one 8mg pill in the morning and one 8mg pill at night. It's been amazing. I haven't had any cravings at all. I really changed my life for the better. Hope that helped. Keep in touch. Kevin.

If you swallowed the suboxone then it would have absolutely no effect on you at all.You have to take it sublingually.Also the naltroxone in suboxone is ineffective if taken orally.It is only there for people who snort or shoot it.You should be careful as buprenorphene is a powerful drug and it can put you into precipitated withdrawls like you can't imagine.Have a good one......Dave

comments like "Because I really wannda do some but i guess ill wait till i get an answer to make sure i don't waste it. "
makes it sound like you are taking it for fun and not for a pain condition. Especially since you are asking about suboxone which you haven't been prescribed. Drugs are for treating conditions. Not for fun. You really should think about why you are experimenting with drugs and if you are having addiction issues. These are powerful medicines to help alleviate pain - not to play around with. THe more people who come away with addictions and think they are for play, make those who really need them have a hard time getting them with the doctors can't tell who is in need and who is playing around and experimenting!

Apparently my suspicions are correct. From the OP's first post it is clear that you are an addict and think it's cool and fun. Go see an addiction specialist and get off the drugs. I dont know who your pain doctor is, but they should be drug testing you - it's clear they're not doing their jobs, and you're not doing yours:
"Hey i am new to this board and just wanted to say Hey to all the members here and that i'll be posting here now. I recently left another board due to the fact that everyone on it was always so mean and lame. But anyways my story (in short):

I am 21 years old, go to college, and have been abusing opiates on and off for about a year. At first i would only do them on weekends or just occasionally and only do small amounts, like 10mgs of Oxycodone (and i would be HIGH). Today my tolerance is much higher and it takes about 40mgs of Oxy to get me where 10 used to to get me. but i know all about it opiates, im not a dumb little kid just abusing whatever drug I can get. I just have a fatal attraction to opiates like most of us do, i mean hell we ALL have opiate receptors lol. But anyways is there anyone else in here that does opiates for fun?
oh and by the way i am prescribed Hydrocodone, Ultram and Valium. I am in real pain and go to a pain dr. but thats another story. I just get the OC off of friends because I find they deal with my pain A LOT better and get me high. But i am trying to tapper down pretty soon here. Oh well i know a lot about pharms and got lots of experience with different drugs and such. But now im about to go do a lil roxi to get this morning off to a good start. "
