Don't stop it...: Stopping Suboxone abruptly can and probably will cause withdrawal. If you need to stop the medication suddenly, call the doctor giving you the Suboxone before doing so.

Absolutely not: While Suboxone does bind quite strongly to the receptor going one day without it may result in withdrawal symptoms and signs and these will not be fun for you. As a rule when on an opioid never just cold turkey stop - you really should be weaned off.

Suboxone: You might have some withdrawal symptoms that develop within a day or so of going without it.

Should be: Suboxone is very long-acting and missing one day will rarely cause very significant withdrawal, although you may have some aches/sniffles/yawning etc. Why do you have to go a day without it would be my question? In general, missing doses is not a good idea. If you have been taking more than you should so you are running out, then you need to stop doing that and talk to your suboxone prescriber.
