Depends...: On the length of time it takes for the opioid to leave your system. Hydrocodone withdrawal may last a week while someone quitting Suboxone may have symptoms lasting 2 weeks or more.

Complicated Answer!: This depends on many biological and pharmacological factors and is quite variable. Body size, coexisting medical problems, basal metabolic rate, length of dependence, substances taken, other medications used but not related....A wonderful question but a specific, and accurate, answer needs to account for these and other factors. Speak to a pain specialist, please!
