Question 1

what's the length of physical withdrawal symptoms from heroin,  and which is worse-heroin,  suboxone,  of methadone-in terms of withdrawal duration and intensity?

Accepted Answer

1 week: Symptoms usually peak around day 3, then subside until sometimes 1 week. In terms of substance, it is difficult to say. Withdrawing from a small amount of heroin is much easier than a huge dose of methadone. I would say the dose is more important than the type of substance.

Question 2

can you tell me how long do suboxone withdrawals last?

Accepted Answer

Suboxone withdrawal: This is a very difficult question in my experience it varies extremely from several weeks to several months if nothing is done to lessen the symptoms there are ways to minimize the withdrawal. If you have the choice the best way is to come off the Suboxone very very slowly over many months.

Question 3

how long does withdrawals from suboxone last? 8mg dose.

Accepted Answer

U can do it if U try: It's hard from 36 hrs after the last dose last for several weeks, even a few mths. Symptoms include muscle cramps and jerks,  insomnia, diarrhea, sweating, anxiety and depression. Tapering helps 1/2 steps weekly or bi-. Or, a period of medical detox can help. They can keep you asleep a few days till your body clears. You can ask questions at 1-888-658-5242. I hope you do well! Best 2U!

Question 4

what should i do if i have been cut off suboxone, and are wanting to know how long the withdrawal lasts?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Many addiction experts would say that the length of withdrawal symptoms is correlated to the total length of opioid dependence multiplied to some extent by the strength of the opioids abused.  There are unknown coefficients in the equation but that is a rule of thumb. For some people who have very severe dependency it can last months although for less severe dependency possibly weeks to even days!

Question 5

how long does suboxone withdrawal last?

Accepted Answer

About 7 -14 days: It varies. Some patients report symptoms of withdrawal lasting 3 to 4 weeks. Keep in mind that withdrawal symptoms begin from the time you start to taper off the medication. In such cases depending on how slow you are tapering off the medication you could be having withdrawal symptoms for months.

Question 6

how long will  i need to be on suboxone  in order to comfortably withdrawal from methadone? i want to be normal asap.

Accepted Answer

Depends: It all depends on how long you were on Methadone and what dosage you were taking.  Methadone unfortunately stays in the body for a long time, so it takes awhile to detox.  Also, you can have side effects, like seizures, if you do it too fast, so i would definitely recommend going slower rather than rapidly, just to be safe.

Question 7

i've been tapering from suboxone for quite a long time. down to .25 1x day then quit. i'm on hour 102 the withdrawals have not come. will the wd come?

Accepted Answer

Probably never: You taper narcotics to avoid withdrawals.  It sounds like if you have not had any yet, you probably will not.

Question 8

i'm currently trying to get off pain medication. i've tried suboxone, but it puts me through precipitated withdrawal every time. if i take more suboxone, will it stop the precipitated withdrawal?

Accepted Answer

: Thi9s should be done under care of your MD or a pain med MD.

Question 9

how long should i wait after last opioid use before taking suboxone? its been 12 hours now and withdrawal is getting pretty intense

Accepted Answer

You need to: wait for 24 hours and you will experience the full withdrawal symptoms  which will not go away no matter how much Suboxone you use, until it runs its course. You will feel bad for a few days, sweaty,  have goose bumps,

Question 10

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

Accepted Answer

Depends: 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.
