The name is rob. I am a recovering opiate addict. I have been on suboxone for the past 18 months for cravings. I was also clean a good year before that. Well that was all up untill recently. This weekend i relapsed. I have been doing at least two oc 80s a day since friday. I have just finished the rest of it 5 am this morning which is tuesday. With my luck i have just remembered i have an appointment at probation tommorow (wensday) at 3 pm. When i go to the appointment i will be urine tested. Of course if my urine comes up possitive for the oc i will get sent to jail. I realy cant have this happen, i have been good and clean for so long and i just slipped up and caught myself before i got bad. So basically i have 34 hours to get the oc out of my system and i herd some where that suboxone knocks opiates off your receptors there for flushing them out of your system very quickly. Is this true? If so how much should i take between now and then? And what else can i do to help ensure that i get the oc out my system in 34 hours? If the rumor i herd about the suboxone is not true, then what should i do? Any info you have will be very much appreciated.

Thank you! Have a good day,
-rob
 
I know for a fact that they will throw the other opiates off my receptors but where do they go from there? Does that speed the process up? What else can i do to help speed up the process? Please help. Only 29 hours left to go :-{
 
Buprenorphine (Suboxone) doesn't clear your system of opiates. What happens is that first off it's a partial u-opioid agonist (compared to morphine/oxcodone/methadone which are full agonists). Secondly its binding affinity is so strong that it'll displace nearly all other opiates from your receptors. What this means is that if you're physically dependent on a full u-opioid agonist such as methadone, you're gonna go into withdrawal somewhat if you switch.

Same goes with people who are dependent on full agonist benzos such as Alprazolam, Diazepam and Clonazepam that switch to Flurazepam which is only a partial agonist.
