Awhile: You need to be in some degree of withdrawal before you resume the subutex. Not waiting could result in acute withdrawal symptoms that are pretty severe. Generally, you have to be having stomach cramps, sweating, tearing of the eyes, runny nose, heart racing to be considered to be in withdrawal. You should not be switching back and forth between the two. Decide on which one you will use.

Oxycontin & Subutex: You need to stop Oxycontin for several days and be in full withdraw for subutex induction. The dosage for subutex will be determined by your doctor during the induction. Please see a doctor asap and discuss your need.
