As you say yourself, if you are not yet withdrawing, it is not recommended to take suboxone. Wait until you are withdrawing.

Why all the sad faces? If you're not withdrawing after 48 hours that's a good thing. You may not even need the suboxone at all.

Depending on your heroin habit, you may not withdrawal as bad as you might of thought. If you can stick it out, like everyone else said, I would def not take the suboxone if I felt I didn't need it. Suboxone is worse to get off than heroin (from personal experience), but if you are dead set on doing suboxone maintenance I would maybe do 1/8 of an 8mg sub, maybe less, if you get more sick, wait longer lol. I've IV'ed suboxone after not waiting long enough and it was the worst experience of my life, I looked in the mirror watching my pupils constrict then dilate then constrict then dilate...My skin felt like rubber, and I was freezing cold. If you do end up getting sicker, take a hot shower. Most people don't realize that it's actually the buprenorphine that causes the antagonistic effect, not the naloxone (naloxone is only active IV, and buprenorphine has a higher binding affinity than naloxone, so even when IV'ed the bup beats the naloxone when binding to the opioid receptors). Buprenorphine has one, if not the highest binding affinity out of the most common opiates, they just put Naloxone to scare people from abusing it. I know this is harm reduction but, knowledge is the first step to that.

Not seeing the dilemma here.. hah. Why force yourself to take the suboxone if you're not in real withdrawal? At 48 hours, if you're not sick now... you probably aren't going to be.

Don't bother with the suboxone and just ride it out.. sounds like you weren't even close to as strung out as you thought you were and that's a blessing..

The tone of the OP should be celebratory not complaintive. You are lucky as hell to not be in bad withdrawals, just wait it out more and if somehow withdrawals do creep up, then take the sub. It's simple.

this is AWESOME news! wish that would happen to ME! just wait until you are pretty damn sick (if you even get sick!??!) before taking the bupe. peace.
