I just have a hypothetical question that ive never really seen adressed on Bluelight.

OK so youve just taken Suboxone too early.

You didnt wait long enough, and the Bupe knocks all the other opiates off your receptors, putting you into immediate WDs.

How long do you have to wait until you could take more Bupe, and it would make you well instead of making it worse?

Also another side question, i understand the Bupe knocks the other opiates off the receptors, but why doesnt it get into the receptors and make you well after knocking them off? is it kinda like for example it knocks an oxycodone molecule off a receptor but it doesnt replace it by occupying because the receptor wasnt vacant when it tried to get there? so in other words after it knocks the H or oxy off it gets deflected too? just a theory.

Any input on either of these issues would be appreciated,
Thanks
 
im not sure man, but there are some knowledgable people in OD "suboxone mega thread". you will get more replies there.

and about your side question.... it doesnt make sense to me either. seems the bupe should bind to the receptors after knocking off the oxy. too bad it doesnt!

I've wondered about this also. My best guess is that it has something to do with bupe being a partial agonist.
