Question 1

How long should i wait to take suboxone after my last dose of oxycodone? i can't wait 24 hrs.

Accepted Answer

on oxycodone, and you take Suboxone BEFORE you are in active withdrawal, you will very much wish you had waited!!  SUboxone will cause precipitated withdrawal in people who are not already in withdrawal, and precipitated withdrawal is far more severe than naturally developing withdrawal, and can actually be life-threatening, with seizures, delirium and very very severe withdrawal symptoms.

Question 2

How long should i wait to take suboxone after using oxycodone so i do not go in early wd? is 12 hours long enough? 15 hours?

Accepted Answer

If the Suboxone has been prescribed to treat opioid drug addiction, it's best (unless YOUR doctor advised otherwise) to wait until withdrawal has started, THEN take the suboxone.

Question 3

Been doin 240-300mg of oxycodone daily/3months.how many hrs should i wait to take a suboxone without gettin precipitated withdrawal?taking last 1 @3am

Accepted Answer

You need to be doing,this,under,the supervision of a doctor.  If you have suboxone, you should have a doctor that prescribed it.  If you don't, find one.

Question 4

Is it okay to take oxycodone after being on suboxone?

Accepted Answer

a physician that knows these medications well such as a pain physician or anesthesiologist. In general it is ok to take oxycodone after being on Suboxone but depending when you stopped the suboxone, you may be somewhat resistant to oxycodone. Depending on what is being treated and why you were on suboxone, there may be better options. Consult a pain physician or anesthesiologist.

Question 5

I was put on suboxone in order to stop prescribed oxycodone for pain. how long should it take to get off suboxone?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you were started on Suboxone after taking other prescribed opiates (including oxycodone) with a plan to taper the Suboxone and come off of all opiate pain medication. The length of your Suboxone taper should be determined in consultation with your doc, and will take into consideration your clinical response, dosage, prior length of tx with opiates. Always take exactly the Rxed dose.

Question 6

I have been taking 1.5mg of suboxone for a month now which is not a lot, if i were to take 24hours off and take 30 mg of oxycodone, would it cause wd?

Accepted Answer

BUT I WOULD NOT TAKE A CHANCE...Furthermore if you are taking Suboxone as a part of a addiction recovery program this would certainly violate your contract!

Hope this helps

Question 7

May i take an oxycodone 10 mg for pain relief after being on 4mg suboxone daily for 7 days?

Accepted Answer

a single oxycodone tablet will add some additional narcotic effect, but if the goal is to reduce dependence on opiates, taking more oxycodone goes in the opposite direction. You should have a treatment plan with parameters for how to manage your pain that your doctor and you agree to together.

Question 8

Is 12-15 hours long enough time after taking oxycodone to take suboxone without getting early withdrawal?

Accepted Answer

If you're taking Suboxone to treat opiod drug addiction, you should wait until you experience some signs of withdrawal, then begin it.  If you're taking it for chronic pain, 12-15 hours is certainly not long enough for sustained release oxycodone, and prob not long enough for immediate release oxycodone.  For that I recommend about 20 hours.

Question 9

If already in withdrawal from oxycodone, can i take the suboxone without gettin precipitated wd even if it's only been 15-17hrs since last dose of oxy?

Accepted Answer

officially, you need to wait at least 24 hours. Practically, many people do it and even earlier. Legally, you need to do it in the presence of your doctor. Practically, if you are sweating, have muscle cramps, goosebumps, diarrhea – you can do it. Just start with a very small piece of the film to test if you are not precipitating further problems. good luck. Get treatment.
