Dilaudid won't precipitate withdrawal from methadone that o my happens if you take suboxone while there are other opiates in your system
Personally not even heroin kept me feeling "right" detoxing from methadone. The first couple days off methadone you aren't really into the withdrawal. It takes til about day 4 to be in full wd from methadone. That's why people can skip a day and get high off other opiates. There's still enough methadone to keep them from being sick. But around day 4 you'll need a lot
Keep in mind that 110 mg dosed every day (chronic methadone) must be calculated differently when converting than 110 mg of occasional use of methadone. It builds up in your system. Figuring for half lives, you have approximately 200 mg in your system at any given time.
The idea with switching is so that you can easily go to suboxone, dilaudid is such a short acting opiate you would only have to wait a few hours before you could take suboxone without risking precipitated wd.
Will it hold you? Well, everyone is different. Best thing to do is try. No one can say for sure. People have such a wide range of metabolizing methadone that complicates the scenario.
Best thing i can say is try not to take the dilaudid til you actually need it. This will probably not be the first day. Although as someone said, have it with you just in case. It isn't a maintenance drug. It's like the "crack" of opiates. So taking it "so I don't get sick" isn't going to work it'll just waste your supply. When you start to feel sick then start taking them and see what you need (...)

Snorting dilaudid sucks man, the only way I'd ever do them is shoot em. There is no other drug that is SOO DIFFERENT from oral/snorting to shooting. Honestly it is night and day.
As for switching from methadone to subs, I've done it. It was a horrid experience because I detoxed ALL the way off. I went from methadone to suboxone first (I had to wait 72hrs for the methadone to get out of my system enough to take it). Then I went from subs to nothing... And ended up withdrawaling for a month alltogether. Even on the subs I was still kicking, it wasnt enough to hold it off (BTW, I was on 80mg methadone)
