Okay, so in March, I stopped taking Suboxone after a year; I tapered down to .5mg and just jumped off and I was so, so happy to be free. This was after being on methadone for about ten years before the suboxone. Great right? About two months ago, i came into a supply of hydromorphone 8mgs, and faster than you can say :) i was IV'ing them all day long. ( My problem has always been needles.) But my post is not about all the shame and anger thats coming to me from this major relapse. I can deal with it. MY question is- After crushing and shooting aroung 18 mgs(total) of this stuff a day, maybe every two hours or so, how much suboxone should i start with to detox? And how long after my last shot can I take it? Last time i started the suboxone, I waited around 30 hours after my last dose of methadone which was 15 mgs, and i felt great on just 8 mgs of suboxone. Do I have to wait that long to start now? I've been through naloxone-induced withdrawl once before, and I def. don't want that again. My last shot ofthe hydromorphone(dilaudid) was at 2pm today. I have some xanax to ease the wait but man, this just sucks. I cant beleive after all that clean time that I'm in this predicament again. Any answers would be great. Thanks.
 
Read one of the the 11 Mega threads, I'm sick of seeing these basic Suboxone threads. There's someone asking your exact question every week or so.
