Twice, now, I've taken buprenorphine before the heroin was completely out of my system. (Apparently, my body takes longer than the usual 12-18 hours to get rid of it. I assume this is at least partially due to the fact that my habit is pretty big.) Both times, I went into immediate withdrawal for the next 6-8 hours. It was awful.
I've obtained some Suboxone, and I want to try using it again on my own. (The previous two times were in inpatient detox.) I'm going to wait 24 hours, and make sure I'm beginning to show symptoms of withdrawal before I do it. My question is this: If 24 hours later turns out to be too soon, and I go once again into immediate withdrawal, can I use heroin to stop withdrawing? Or will the naloxone make that impossible?
