I have been on Suboxone for the past year and I have recently been trying to quit. I tapered down but when I jumped off I couldn't help but end up relapsing on pills. First day I took 20mg of Methadone, second day I took 90mg of Roxicodone, and on the third day (Wednesday) I took 40mg of Methadone. I had a bad psychological urge to take Suboxone yesterday but I knew that if I did I would have precipitated withdrawals which I have had before which not only sucked but also made me have to take twice as much Suboxone just to feel normal.
Today is Friday, two days and approximately 42 hours since I've taken the 40mg of Methadone. I feel a little more sick than yesterday but still the physical withdrawals are minimal, just minor sweats, chills, and a lot of yawns and teary eyes but no pain. I'm wondering if it's safe to take a Suboxone dose without having to experience precipitated withdrawals. I searched for info on this but all I found was very unspecific and generalized and opinions on how long to wait varied widely from 36 hours to 72 hours. I was wondering if anyone has a straight answer on the subject of how long I should wait before I'm clear of getting precipitated withdrawals.
By the way, I know there were plenty of these threads in search, but I was never able to find a clear or straight answer I was looking for, so sorry if I'm bringing up an old subject but I would really like to see if there are any straight-forward answers on how long to wait or if it simply depends on the person. Any helpful posts would be appreciated, thanks.
