Hello.
I have been on buprenorphine for about one and a half month now. I've been mostly on 10 mgs per day. Every morning, I put the suboxone behind my upper lip, by the gums. Then I have to sit down for approximately 3-5 minutes. By then, some of the suboxone has been dissolved, but most of it remains, and then I plug it.
However, now I haven't used since thursday (except the very small amount that dissolves in my mouth before I can get it out. It's soon been 72 hours and I haven't got any withdrawal symptoms what so ever.
Why is this? I haven't really used buprenorphine this long before, but I do have been on heroin for long times. While on heroin I go to withdrawal within 24 hours of the last dose. I know the half life of buprenorphine is much longer than heroins', but ... after 72 hours, I should be feeling something, right?
best regards
