I would like to know what I am in for so please send your thoughts...but let me give you some backround first.

I am 5'll/120 pounds
I smoked H for a few months daily at about .2 a day
I then only used .2mg of Suboxone daily for 3 months...so I was addicted to Sub
I then went back to smoking H for about 4 months daily...while using a syringe for the last 2 months. .2mg - .4mg a day,
I used Suboxone at about once a week or once every two weeks during the last two months when I didn't have H. I had to use about 4 or 8 or 12 mg for it to work because I had been shooting H around this time.
So I am assuming i was not addicted to Sub AT ALL because I was addicted to H back again these past two months.
And when i did kick these past two months for only a few hours at a time every now again when i had nothing it would be pretty bad.

Now here is my history of the last few days that i had been trying to detox...from H, not Suboxone.

Wensday- 7:00 p.m. my last .2 mg shot of Heroin

Thursday - 12:00 noon 16mg of Suboxone under my tounge

Friday- I figured the sub would be out of my system by now and i would be starting to kick...but I barely barely kicked at all

Saturday- still I am baaarely kicking until at around 11:00 p.m. i started to kick a little more but still baarely

Sunday- Its 11:00 p.m. and I still am Baaarely withdrawing at all

Since I was not addicted to Sub these past months, does that mean the last time i did Sub thursday meant that covered some of my withrdrawl from H? I thought that would only postpone my withdrawl.
I thought This would be Hell but its nothing and its been like 3 or 4 days now.
Whats going on?
DId i just not use that much H to have a bad withdrawl or do you think it is goint to start to be bad monday or tuesday or what?
HELP!

Buprenorphine has a half-life for 36 hours, so that is why you did not feel any withdrawals. You also took a really high dose of it, meaning that even after 36 hours, you will still have 8mg in your system, more than enough to cover withdrawals.......and by then all of the heroin is out of your system anyways.
