i been a chronic daily user of suboxone for 4 yrs as im on a maintenance program. im Rxed 24mg a day, but i dont need nearly as much, i usually take 8mg in the morning, half a night=12mg...anything more i got irritable and dont feel so good. as one of the above posters said, wait 36hrs before u take an opiate to feel its effects, i beg to differ. i have taken opiates the next day prior to taking suboxone, and have gotten high, methadone in particular, high was not diminished, actually i felt all the great effects, as far as oxy and hydro, i agree the next day i hardly feel shit. heroin/morphine i get high just need a little more than usual but i feel it without diminishment of effects. i go into WD anyways if i dont take my suboxone dose the next day, usually in the evening it kicks in, that tells me im all gold for taking opiates (only heroin morphine and methadone i feel full effects though the next day after)
