I spent quite a bit of time researching how long I would need to wait before being able to feel the effects of heroin after taking suboxone. I found a wide range of anwsers that mainly focused on those who had used higher doses of suboxone for greater lengths of time than myself. I ended up having to find the anwser through first hand experience. So in an effort to assist someone out there seeking the same knowledge I was unable to find I decided to make a thread here...
First a bit of background info. Ive been shooting heroin for nearly a year. I go through about a gram of powder a day. I'm going to be in jail come next friday and I have been planning to quit H and get through the first 4 days of WD in the comfort of my own home where I can better take care of myself (hot baths, immodium, food and drink when I want it etc.) rather than in jail where I'll be restricted in what I can do and when I can do it.
So I had taken my last planned shot of dope last night around 11:00pm, around 1:00pm the today I was into the early stages of WD. Watery eyes, sneezing, yawning, runny nose and my bowels backed up by constipation for months began to let loose hershey squirts... I felt craptastic and began scheming on a fix. It wasn't looking good. My friend stopped by and gave me a quarter strip of an 8mg suboxone. Being a quarter of 8, I had about 2mg... I'd used suboxone in a pinch before to stave off severe withdrawels and it's always been a god send. Having no way to score any sort of opiate and feeling pretty ill at that ppint I decided it was a safe bet to use the suboxone.
I cut the quarter (2mg) strip in half giving me two 1mg squares. I knew IVing it would get the most bang for my buck and felt safe even with the Narcan bc I was into withdrawel already. I dissolved 1mg in water, loaded my rig, and banged it down... I felt a cold rush wash over me. I knew any opiates left in me were being kicked off my receptors and that I was in for some more discomfort. 20 minutes later feeling slightly better but still not "normal" I banged the remaining 1mg piece I had. That did the trick... I felt OK. I still had the mental bug of wanting to be high but I had no physical negative effects... I was feeling like a normal person.
A few hours later I had a gram of my favorite powder in my possession... BUT oh no I took that fricken suboxone. I knew I'd have to wait or end up just wasting my H. I decided ti do a shot right away just to see if Id feel anything. I loaded up a big shot and hammered it down. I felt a very slight... feeling... not anywhere near the rush I would normally feel. So I decided to wait awhile before doing any more and wasting it.
10 hours after taking 2mg of suboxone via IV I loaded up another decent sized shot. Banged it down and felt it... still not full power but definitely a good feeling. So my point is... if you havent been on suboxone for any length of time and just do a small amount yes it will block out your opiate of choice for at least 10 hours. After the 10th hour you may be able to get high again. Obviously the longer you wait the better.
Hope my tale helps someone out. Stay safe people!
