what is the right way to take suboxin??

Last time I took subs I got really sick, it make my with drawls way worse!!!

It sounds like you took the sub too early. If you are not in W/D already, suboxone will precipitate the withdraws in you as your brains receptors swap out the heroin for the bupe. I usually get by with no precipitated withdraws after eight hours, but some people take longer, it all depends on the body's metabolism. You want to be in physical discomfort before taking it, but you don't have to wait too long.

You can use the Clinical Opiate Withdraw Scale, or COWS worksheet, and score 10 or more, and know you're OK to take the subs.
 
yeah if u take it orally it will make u feel nasty.

uhhh they are designed to be taken subligually...

and to the OP...pretty much the ONLY (atleast the most common) reason you would not feel better after taking it is what the above posters mentioned.

you took it too soon.

you have to wait 12-24 hours after your last oxy dose
24-36 after your last h dose
 
you have to wait 12-24 hours after your last oxy dose
24-36 after your last h dose

Those numbers are incorrect. It's going to be different for each person, so use the COWS scale. I personally have no problem using suboxone 8-12 hours after IV heroin. It's not going to be the same for everyone, and I'm probably on the shorter end of the required duration. But heroin is going to be out of the system faster than oxycodone in most scenarios.
 
it def is different for everyone but I wouldn't go as far as to say my numbers were incorrect.

lets put it this way,

if I am wrong, the person ends up suffering for a few extra hours before taking their bupe, and probably feels SPECTACULAR once they dose

if you are wrong, the person goes into fucking HELL precipitated withdrawals (which at 8hr they will) and probably ends up having to buy more dope just to feel OK lol

8-12hr may work for you for heroin...but I like to air on the side of caution considering I have gotten prec. withdrawal at 20h after my last dose of H. This is a harm reduction board, telling people to dose 8 hours after their h dose..yeahhh thats smart.

But yeah...obviously there is no set answer, the most accurate way like the poster said is to score your self on the cows scale.
 
The numbers you stated are actually pretty far from the manufacturer's recommended time. And I'm certainly not the person to lecture about harm reduction.... I'm the one who posted the COWS link.
 
Hey everybody....I am glad that I found out about this site, a lot of helpful info...
