how long after opiates can you take suboxone without going into withdrawls?

IM NOT SURE IF PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET SYMPATHY OR WHAT.  THERE IS A SPECIFIC QUESTION SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO GET ANSWERED.  HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO WAIT AFTER THE LAST DOSE OF DILUADID BEFORE TAKING SUBOXONE/ SUBUTEX???? IT WOULD BE A HUGE HELP.  ALSO, DOES ANYONE HAVE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH TAKING THE STRIPS, THE 8 MG SUBOXONE PILLS, AND THE 8 MG SUBUTEX PILL? IN THE PAST I HAVE ONLY USED THE PILLS.... NEVER THE STRIPS.  IS THERE A DIFFERENCE? ARE THE STRIPS BETTER THAN THE PILLS? ANY ADVICE IS MUCH APPRECIATED? IT WOULD ALSO BE NICE IF SOMEONE COULD JUST ANSWER THE INITIAL f*****g QUESTION.

THAT IS ALL 

I don't understand what everyone is talking about....I switch back and forth constantly so I don't get too sick but I've taken suboxone as little as six hours after an opiate and feel fine.in fact I feel the effects of the sub like normal.im sure it isn't recommended but a few people I know have.taken them close with no issues.UNLESS it was the other way around.I wouldn't ever take an opiate a couple hours after a sub.that's just ...wrong.lol.

I would wait approx 8 + if not more.but that's just me.

i realllllly dont understand why everyone else seems to have to wait so long to take suboxone after taking an opiate. ive been a vicodin/herion addict for 6 years now and used every single day, several times a day & started taking suboxone about a year ago. i've NEVER had to wait more than 12 hours to take a suboxone after taking opiates, so im not sure why everyone else says it causes horrible withdrawls. ive been on several sites, looking up the same question and it seems everyone says to wait atleast 2 days, to even a week, and i dont get it. i know everyones different, but i have honestly never had a problem with taking suboxone anywhere between 6-12 hours after taking an opiate. i wonder why its so different for everyone else .

Usually 24 hrs. .I can take them at the same time. . Along with many people I know. . You won't go into withdraw..u can either wait 12 hrs and feel safe about it. . Or just take it. .I take them together!

Can I discuss this on the phone with you please? I do not know what I should do and am panicked. If yes I will send my phone #

I can take subs with In about 6-8hrs and not go thru any withdrawal to say I like the pills better than the strip do to you can crush up and dose easier a little sub goes a long way I sometimes have to take more at first but after that a little works I have a big habit with opanas and oxys doing 300 mg at least at 1 time would do 20 of my greens and at once a lot of powder to shove up your nose

Lol, agreed. They recommend 12-24 Hours. You don't want to take it early because, like people have said, you fall into precipitated WD.. which sucks. I personally waited 24 hrs on the dot this last time. I used for 2 weeks straight and I felt like a million bucks after I woke up 3 hours later. My WD were not as bad as they have been in the past. When I went to rehab and I had been using heavy for 1 1/2 years they gave me one (1MG) after about 20 hours and I was fine. I guess height and weight matter so heres mine. 105 5'2" 25 yrs old F. Less is more. I took 4 mg this last time. I didn't need that much at all. but I didn't want to take the time to cut it into little pieces since I was hurting.

well I took 20mgs of hydrocodone 3 hours before I took 16mg of subs and was totally fine,its differs with everyone,i had no withdrals at all,absolutely no craving for opiates at all so really the answe is just wait as long as you can but my sub doctor told me after 4 hours of only hydos only you will be fine now oxy,percs,h are totally different do to their half life,so just take 2 strips and ur good

subs after opiates
ook, I reenty got on suboxone a week ago last Friday I was using 100-200mgs a day and on Friday morning unbenoucd to me my wife got my docs apt moved to that exact Friday and I had already taken 25mgs at 10am well I go get a script of subs at 1pm took 16mgs and was totally fine!!!! no withdrawls at all! no cravings at all so wait a few hours and your good

Take the Suboxone as soon as you start to feel withdrawal symptoms. I decided that I couldn't sleep after using heroin earlier today so I was bored and took Suboxone. WHAT A MISTAKE!!!!!!! I hadn't waited long enough so I went into rapid withdrawals. No joke THE WORST I HAVE EVER EVER EVER WITHDREW IN MY LIFE!! I threw up and everything which has never happened to me before even at the worst part of my heroin addiction. But strangely enough they (the rapid withdrawals) only lasted about twenty minutes and the I was completely fine. But it is still not worth being impatient and "bored" ever again.

I get sick so quick I took 4mgs of dilauidd iv because im addicted to them today at 1:00pm cuz I couldnt find any suboxone and my last dose of it was like 1 mg 24 hours ago before I did this dilaudid I did the wash/rinse at like 5pm and just iv 2mg of subutex and I feel better I was starting to get that weird head feeling so I did it nervous of being to soon im fine so I think it depends on person and how often need to stick a needle in ur arm

I've heard between 12-16 hours, but it may be more so find out for sure because I did that once within 8 hours and thought I was going to die.

it honestly depends on ur tolerance and what opiate ur taking. short half life pills like roxy I find I could take subs as soon as I started to feel withdrawels. now, that was yrs ago and since then my tolerance has skyrocketed due to longer half-life having opiates, such as heroin and I have to wait at the least 24 hours before I can take subs n I start with like a quarter of an 8 mg strip n feel a lil better but the next day it gets better and the suboxone seems to start working better. it really has a lot to do with ur tolerance. how long u have been using, what opiate u r using and even then everyones body is different. I recommend at least 24 hrs after ur last dose of an opiate. good luck! withdrawels are a b***h. but its so hard to stay clean when u have experienced the highs and the withdrawels...I have a real love/hate relationship with opiates. love the way they make me feel but hate how I feel without em, even after withdrawels pass each time I try to kick. it will consume ur soul. but it feels so good! catch 22!
