I took a Hydrocodone 5 at 6AM. It's all I took. I'm not on them normally. Would I have to wait a long time before taking a Suboxone? I'm just in so much pain. Any help would be appreciatedĀ
Hydrocodone is an opioid pain medication used to treat moderate to severe pain, while Suboxone is a medication used to treat opioid addiction. Suboxone contains buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist that can help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
If you have been prescribed Suboxone for opioid addiction, in general, you should wait until you are experiencing some withdrawal symptoms before starting Suboxone, which typically occurs 12-24 hours after your last dose of a short-acting opioid like Hydrocodone.
However, the exact timing can depend on several factors, such as your individual metabolism, the dose and duration of Hydrocodone use, and your overall health status.
How are you today?
