I use 5-10mg of hydro a day, today I used only 5mg & have nothing to do but this Suboxone I got. I was wondering how long I would have to wait till I could take the Suboxone without any WD?
 
If you are seriously only taking 5-10mg of hydrocodone a day orally then you should not take suboxone. Honestly the amount of suboxone to equal that small amount of hydrocodone is something like 0.001mg (I didnt do the math I made one up to show how tiny of a dose it would be)

Having used 8mg of suboxone to end a daily IV dope habit that was 100s of times more per dose then yours, I warn you to stay away from maintenance drugs. You have such a low tolerance and your withdrawals will be so minor that I envy you in a sense. Why do you feel the need to take the subs? How long have you been doing the hydros and in what amounts? Have you ever experienced full on WDs or are you just afraid of them? Give us a little more info otherwise all the responses will mirror mine.
 
I've experienced full blown throwing up, to bad bone pain is what it felt like, never comfortable, head aches (more of a intense pain in my skull). That was off of taking around 100-250mg max of pure hydro. I've also had WD off of oxy, going from 150mg a day for about 3 weeks. So I've had WD I know how bad it is I don't want to feel that again espically off of sub's or any drug like that. The only reason to do suboxone is purely due to driness of pills that I have normal access too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think those low doses are enough to bring about precipitated withdrawal. You're good to be playing on the safe side though, as the PWD is no laughing matter.

If you're going in the direction of playing it safe though, wait 24 hours. The chances will be slim by then of developing the PWD.

I'm assuming you already know, but you won't get anything out of that hydrocodone dose for 24-48 hours or longer depending on the dose if by premiering you consume.
