Anyone had this Suboxone problem?

I've been on Suboxone maintenance for 2.5 years and down to only 2mg daily. I got a hold of 60ct. Norco 10/325 so decided to take a few days off the Suboxone and take them. I took 120mg and felt only a very mild buzz! My current habit before the maintenance therapy was 160mg OxyContin and about 4 balloons of dope daily. I know thats a lot more than 120mg of Hydrocodone but I should have felt something more than a moderate Codeine-type buzz from it, right? Well, I had 4 days on Hydrocodone 120mg until it was gone and kind of couldn't wait until it was gone to get back on my saved up Suboxone because the Hydro did almost nothing. I'm back on the bupe now.

This is the only time I went off my Suboxone to abuse an opioid (that should have got me high!). Has anyone else had this problem or could someone explain why this might of happened. Hell, I waited 3 days before switching to the Hydrocodone.

Any explanation or assumption would be welcome...

P.S. When I went back on to the Suboxone I took simply 8mg and was nodding almost like I was back on dope!?

The Suboxone wasn't all the way out of your system and was still binding to your opiate receptors to some degree. You may have gotten more out of it if you stopped taking the Suboxone for more than just a few days. Not that I'm saying you should do that, because you shouldn't, that's the whole point of being on a maintenance medication right?
 
I dunno man, a few days is more than enough IMO...I just think your tolerance is up from being on suboxone and the hydro didn't really touch it.

on 2mg of suboxone, I regularly have taken 2mg at 7am and gotten high as a kite 12 hours later. 24-36 hours after my last dose of suboxone, I am feeling my high 100%. I think if you had done your normal oxy and h you would have gotten high as fuck, but the hydro just didnt touch it.
