so if ive only been back on suboxone for 2 weeks max at a rly low dose and mind you just every other day, with an extreme metabolism like drs. aint see one like this in along time.. and i just took 2 mg yesterday would some oxy even be worth it..? i now there is threads about waiting 36-48 hrs.. but none of them take it every other day nor does any of them say much about just now getting on it
 
What makes you think you have an "extreme" metabolism? Your body's metabolism of bupe is not necessarily the same as it's metabolism of nutrients etc or even other drugs. How long you need to wait before you can feel the full effects of the Oxy really varies from person to person. If you take the Suboxone only every other day and that is enough to keep you from experiencing withdrawals I would say your body probably metabolizes Suboxone slowly and therefore you likely would be at the longer end of the range of wait time before you can get full effects off the Oxy. But since you are on a low dose (what dose is it exactly?) and you last took Suboxone a day ago, then you may still be able to feel something from the Oxy. I have heard people say that when on low doses of bupe they can get some effects from Oxy after waiting less than 24 hrs, just not the full effects.

Whether it's "worth it" is entirely a matter of personal opinion. It's impossible to predict for sure how the Oxy will affect you. It may not be good for your recovery if your goal is to not use drugs other than Suboxone.
 
ive only been back on it less than two weeks before that i had almost a yr break from it.. im not worried at all about depepndence that isnt at all an issue.. and i still feel crappy the next day i just dont like taking somethin every day... for health reasons i have to take somethin tho.. and i only take 2mg and its been prolly 27 hrs

Why are you not worried about dependence? Dependence is certainly an issue with Suboxone.

Why do you say you "have to take something for health reasons"? Do you mean you have chronic pain and require prescription painkillers?

I would say 27 hrs should probably be enough time to feel something from the oxycodone, but I have no way to predict how much or whether you will consider it "worth it".

Here is one study that they found people who took 2mg buprenorphine for 7 days experienced a partial blockade of opioids (in the test they used hydromorphone) lasting up to 72 hours after discontinuation of the bupe. They also found blockade effects were achieved with less than daily dosing. http://www.springerlink.com/content/5kjwan09958f8xtt/
