I know when you're shooting dope u dont have to wait as long as other methods because it leaves the system quicker. 12hrs, 24hrs? How long before I should take a Suboxone?
 
Just type that exact question in Google. You will find hoards of forum pages covering this question. I'm currently struggling with the same thing. I want/need to get of dope. I have enough sub's to do the trick. But if I do a few bags and pass out around 2AM, I will wake up around 7 or 8, already feeling like shit. IDK why I seem to feel symptoms of dopesickness far earlier than my friends do, but I'm afraid that I get sick far too soon for suboxone.
Because of this inconvenience. My plan was to get some benzos to sleep through the initial waiting period.
 
The minimum would be 14hours. You have to let your body tell you when it's time. When you start to feel sick and hang out , wait another hour or 2 and then dose with suboxone. Start with 1-2 mg, this amount is less likely to give you precipitated withdrawals.
 
I can do 24hrs, no big deal. I just have to time it right so I get a full night of sleep...

I would just do my last shot around 2-3pm, and maybe save a small shot just incase. That way you'll get a nights sleep and when u wake up you'll only have to wait a few hrs before taking a sub.
 
Most people wait 12-24 hours to avoid precipitated withdrawal. Doctors use the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) to determine when to give a patient Suboxone after discontinuing heroin. You should wait until you have at least a COWS score of 10 before starting bupe, but the longer you can stand, the better.

Here's the COWS score sheet:

I took 4mg at about 24hrs... For a minute I panicked while it dissollved under my tongue, thinking I was in early withdrawal because it didnt seem to take effect. The problem was I just needed more, so I took 4 more mg and I was fine.
 
For me I can take a sub right after shooting dope and feel no ill no effects. I think is the exception to the rule tho.

Damn. I wonder if I can too. I don't have the guts to try though. Right now its 9:34AM. My last shot was 4AM. I just woke up. Depending on how I feel, I might attempt to take a quarter around 4PM.

I AM TERRIFIED.
 
9:54AM: just did a small shot of meth b/c I heard it works on some of the same dopamine receptors (or something) as dope. Puked immediately after. Then I sipped some Pepsi and ate a few oyster crackers.

I can't very well explain how I feel ATM. I Definitely think the meth helped, actually , but I don't really feel great. When I wake up dope sick the first thing I notice is this empty/headache-like feeling between my temples. The nausea comes when I start to move. That empty/headache feeling is still there, but it's accompanied by a sort of lightness. I sat down right after I ate those crackers so the nausea is currently hiding. One thing I noticed, since the meth has me thinking, is that a lot of my physical discomfort, mainly the nausea, is triggered by thoughts and fears. Like, I'll think about how bad this is gonna be, THEN I feel super nauseated.

IDK. Typing this is not helping. I might get some DXM. I read that it helps a lot with withdrawal. I'm trying anything.

I'm going to take a hit or 2 of bud then try to play some COD advanced warfare. I will post updates throughout the day.
 
No dice. I caved and did a shot around 2PM. I caved mainly from psychological discomfort, depression, and anxiety. I'm gonna get some DXM tonight, maybe some bars if I can, then try again tommorow.

So do you have subs? If you want to transfer to subs u can no prob, just wait the 24hrs. Or close to it atleast...
 
Its that 24 hours that kills me. Im working on Getting k-pins so I can just sleep off the first day.
Yeah I understand. Just time it right so your last dose is in the morning, do a huge shot. Then wake up the next day and take the sub

Well, me, dumbass that I am, I was talking about shooting the bupe, and assumed everyone else was too.

I've been on a heavy dope run for the last few weeks, heaviest of my life as I was blowing through an inheritance (please forgive me). So this morning I woke up determined to detox so I stop wasting money. At around 1pm, it was like 13 hours since my last shot of diesel. I thought I would be ok, so I told my buddy to load up a shot of sub for me. He came over with a big fluorescent orange 40 unit shot and puts it right in my arm. Not 20 seconds later, I look at my other boy, and I just knew.. He said "be calm it feels like that for a few seconds" but I could tell he just knew...

Follows the absolute WORST EXPERIENCE of my life.. I can't even begin to explain how horrible this was.. Its been over an hour and I still feel that icy chill...

Right after my first boy put that shit in my arm and I started feeling fucking icewater in my veins, I heard my other boy say " yeah its gonna be exactly 20 minutes of this. Yeah its literally pulling the dope right out of his brain, it will be an entire detox in about 20 mins.."

I'm hearing all this and as this ice water, Needly prickle sensation engulfs me, I descend further and further into this hell. I barely even recognize my friends house as they take me to the bathroom, and he throws me a blanket, tells me to pull my pants down n sit on the toilet, and I endure the worst fucking personal hell of all time, its so bad I'm having childhood flashbacks, I can't begin to describe this hell I'm in. I think its never gonna end, I'm screaming for my boys to call an ambulance, the experienced of the two is saying 'no no hell be fine' while the one who gave it to me sees how bad I am and is screaming apologies...

All I can say is, as far as shooting bupe goes, 13 hours is not NOT enough.
