Hey all. I've been to this forum a LOT in the past, and have made a few posts here and there and trying to help others out as well. Anyways, I went to a detox/rehab centre here in Canada for my 600mg/day Oxycodone habit, and coming off of it was hell. I didn't want to go back on Methadone because methadone made me too lethargic, and I wanted to try Suboxone and had been waiting for SOOO long for it to finally be approved by Health Canada as we are very slow at approving new medications in Canada here and way behind Europe in terms of health care.
With that in mind, I got on Suboxone - at first for the first week I wasn't to pleased as I know its only a partial opioid agonist and the induction phase took a lot longer for me with Suboxone than it did with methadone, obviously because of my extreme tolerance to oxycodone.
Anyways, I'm on 16mg of Suboxone and have been stable on this dose for some time now. Only thing that sucks is that I have to goto the pharmacy everyday and sit there for 20 minutes to let these big N8 8mg white hexagonal tablets dissolve sublingually. So pretty much, I've been clean for 51 days.
My
question is that how long do I have to wait after I dose my 16mg of Suboxone, that I am able to feel the effects of an opioid? Would it be a number of days? A number of hours? I know this is a stupid question and lots of you will say UTFSE, but in my case i'm on 16mg of Suboxone daily, so its kind of hard to guage from what other people have said in other threads and my apologies for being lazy. I am going to remain clean, because I don't want to go back to that life style. And I thank god for having a wonderful new science opioid medication called
Suboxone or Buprenorphine as some what rather say. Anyways, can anyone give me a rough idea as to how many hours I would have to wait before having a little fun and chewing some oxy's?
Thank you bluelight members.
