ive been on suboxon for 3 yrs now and i want to get off them. ive been tapering down for the past 2 weeks taking 2-4 mg a day. but before that i was taking 3 8mg tablets a day. i have been sitting on these vicidon and i dont want to waste them because i tried about 1 week ago i took 6 750mg v's and i waited 34-36hrs after my last dose of suboxon and they didnt do ****. i think its because ive been on suboxon for so long. but im driving myself crazy and i would really appreciate it if somebody would give me a lil advice. I wanna take the v's but i dont want to waste them. know 1 will really respond to my ?. so if some1 can just please be st8 up with me and tell me how long i need to wait to take my v's the past 5 days ive been taking 2-3(mg) of suboxon. please dont preach to me about shiit i just would appreciate some good experienced advice. i hear from others 2 weeks,48-72hrs, 24-36hrs. like i said i waited about 36 hrs last time after my lasy dose. somebody please tell me what i need to do and how long i REALLY have to wait. id appreciate the advice so much if you guys would give me a st8 up answer. so please let me know im going crazy over here

You will need to WAIT until you are going through W/D, and THEN the Vicodin will work again. IF you are taking them while the Suboxone is still in your system (which could be for up to 5ish days) then the Naloxone in the Suboxone is over-riding the Hydrocodone in the Vicodin.

long time reader. finally posting.
debpurpletiger, you may be a health professional, but you obviously are misinformed about suboxone.
it is NOT the naloxone overriding the hydrocodone in the vicodin.
it is the bupe, which binds very strongly to the receptors, naloxone is only there so people dont shoot it. if you take it sublingual, like it says, the naloxone does nothing..
once you take subs, you have to take LARGE amounts of opiates, to override the subs, not the naloxone. this only comes into play if you shoot it.
maybe you should do some more research before you tell people you know what you are talking about.

pureplaya, that is why you dont feel any opiates you take. the subs are very powerful, you have come so far and you dont want to waste the vicodin. thats crazy. all the will to succeed.
