How long after taking oxycodone can you take suboxone?

Answer 1

how many mg's of suboxone and for how long were you taking it? and how many mg's of oxycodone are you taking? 4mg of suboxone hangs around for about 24 hrs until the bup starts leaving the receptors and then you will be able to experience a mild high, 32 hrs and you are able to get a buzz and by 40-48 hrs you are completely able to get the full effect of your oxycodone. start with a medium dose at 24 hrs to get the bup to loosen up off the receptors and use your intended dose at 32 hrs. once your first 2 doses wear off your third dose should be enough to kick the rest of the bup off the receptors and let you enjoy your oxycodone. just remember because you don't feel high dosent mean you cant overdose so be careful on that first dose especially and don't go chasing a peak high on your second dose either. if you were on 8mgs of sub, then multiply those time frames by 2, 2mg and divide by half, you get it

Answer 2

I'm sorry that you are having thoughts of relapse. Usually when this happens you will be unable to get back on the clean path for a significant period of time. Take your medication as directed by your doctor. I have heard of people who have used a little extra to get that slight buzz, nevertheless keeping them on the clean path. It's tough, been in this situation many times. Reconsider everything you have done to get to where you are now, and how much you would be throwing away, including money.

Suboxone has a 36hr half life. After 24 hours, an opiate will only slightly punch through and its a waste. I have heard of people relapsing after 24 hours but the longer you supposably wait, the more your Mu receptors have been cleared of the Sub.

Answer 3

It depends on how much Suboxone is in your system, but a rule of thumb is to generally wait at least 48 hours, if not more, before taking Oxycodone. If you can wait a week or more, do so. You definitely want all the Suboxone to be out of your system so the Oxycodone has a chance to bind to your receptors.

Answer 4

Depends on the half life of the drug you were taking. At least 24 hours after your last dose. If you take it too soon you could put yourself into withdrawls very quickly.

Actually, the first time I was induced was 12 hours. after 150 Mg's of oxycodone. I have actually taken suboxone a little less than 10 hours after any other opiate. I would suggest that you listen to your body. I know when I am already in withdrawal due to RLS, I only get it when I have no opiates in my system.

I have been on Suboxone for 2yrs and have had to come on and off several times. I have had several surgeries and always had to plan being off the Suboxone for at least 48-72hrs. The first surgery I had I only waited 24hrs per what my Dr. advised. There was no way 24hrs was enough time off the Sub's before the Surgery. The pain meds they were giving didn't touch my pain. It took several days until the Dilauded worked through my IV I could feel that rush. After the surgery I waited 10hrs after my last dose of Dilauded to take 2mg of Suboxone and i was fine. So after all my rambling to a long story short, if you are going to need opiates you should stay off the sub's for at least 48hrs longer if you can. When going back on to the Sub's To be safe if you're afraid of getting sick 12-14hrs should be fine. every time I have gone off and on I have never gotten sick after waiting 12hrs.

Use the COWS scale to be safe and not a timeline. Everyone is different and if you take it to soon you will go into severe withdrawals which you can't reverse. Just time will cure it, being sick for a day, real sick.
