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.
