Ok well first of all I am in the suboxone program, and I had a bit of a slip up. I had money (which i just can't seem to handle at this point) and so yesterday I didn't take my suboxone and I did some dope. Then today I still had some money left and I got some more dope, but it was rather shitty dope, and now I'm not high and sort of fiending out.

Heres my question. I know that if you are addicted to opiates and you take suboxone while there is still opiates active in your brain it will make you go into precipitated withdrawl. However, I haven't done enough heroin to be physically addicted to it, it usually takes 4 days of strait use to notice physical withdrawl symptoms on the 5th morning. If I were to take suboxone now (it's only been about 4 hours since I did a fairly low dose of H, and garbage at that) would it cause me to get sick?

I'm imagining it would since by rights I'm still physically dependent on opiates since I'm taking suboxone, it's just a different opiate on the receptor keeping me well right now. I just hate this anxious feeling. I'm not physically starting to get sick, more just fiending out to feel comfortable. I'm probably not going to risk it, more curious than anything.
 
Just GRADUALLY dose TINY amounts at a time and you will be fine. I'm taling about sticking .1mg under your tongue, waitimg 5-10 min and repeating until you get to a good level.
 
Yes, you can still go into precipitated withdrawal when going from full agonists to buprenorphine too soon. This is a self serving question, and it could have been asked in the Suboxone Mega Thread. You also could have just searched for an answer.

But either way this has been answered now, so I'm going to close it.
