I guess it would be okay for you to take a vicodin after 48 hours of you not taking any suboxone. Suboxone has a long half life and that means it stays in your system for a long period of time. First of all, why would you want to only be on suboxone for a week? suboxone doesn't work in a week. And if it does work for you in a week then why would you want to touch a vicodin again??

You should wait a minimum of 18 to 24 hours, until you are in full withdrawal from the Vicodin.

It is absolutely essential that you wait until you are in severe, full-blown withdrawal from the Vicodin, before you start taking the Suboxone. If you take the Suboxone before you are in full withdrawal from the Vicodin, it will produce the worst, most horrible withdrawal symptoms you can imagine. You will get really, really sick.

And, of course, remember that Suboxone cannot be swallowed whole, because it will not dissolve in your stomach. You must dissolve it under your tongue.

If your body is used to suboxone then you can usually only be on a stonger narcotic up to about three days before you have a rough conversion back onto the suboxone. But you should wait the correct time for the stronger narcotic to ware off before taking the suboxone again.

How long does the suboxone high last?

If you mean how long after taking suboxone can you get high from other drugs like lortab and whatever else then I would wait 3 days. Chances are if you're taking suboxone its because you withdrawal so it will probably be hard to go 3 days with nothing. But regardless, you will not get high


How long should you wait to take methadone after you take suboxone?

are you saying after you quit taking the suboxone? or while still taking the suboxone? first of all never EVER take together the both combined. if you take suboxone and want to just take methadone to buzz it will cause severe withdrawal symptoms. if you are taking methadone and want off of it, then wait at least three days, maybe 48 hrs it depends how much you have taken. never combine those two it can be deadly. by the way i don't even know what i'm answering. i'm confused. i'm on crack!!!!!

You are on suboxone and going for surgury can you still be on suboxone or do you need to be off for a couple of days thanks?

i would recomend a rapid taper of your daily dose and do not take it 2-3 days before surgey (if u can if not try taking just 1/4 of an 8mg pill or less) discuss it with the surgeon, (unless you do not want him to know your on suboxone) other than that, that's my best answer :)


Can you get sun while taking suboxone?

Yes you can smoke marijuana while on suboxone or subutex. I have been on suboxone and subutex for 3 years and I dont think I have missed more then 5 days of smoking weed. For me weed will actually take away any withdrawal effects that are creeping up from the subutex.
