Last time I kicked heroin (+ fentanyl: basically all of the bags I've used in the past six months tested positive for fent), I made the stupid mistake of taking suboxone a mere 12 hours after my last dose of heroin. Needless to say, I went into extremely bad precipitated withdrawals.
This time when kicking, I obviously want to avoid that completely. When I get to about 24 hours after my last dose, I'm not in complete withdrawal but I feel super shitty and can't really bear to not use...but is 24 hours too soon to take suboxone? I've heard 36 hours is recommended for longer-acting opioids. I just don't know how long I can hold out (but I guess anything is better than PWs). What's the safest way to gauge when to take suboxone, time that's past since last use? I'm using five bags of heroin/fent a day and can't wait to get safely on subs.
