When Can I Take My Suboxone?

Updated

I used to take methadone primarily. Before that perks. My access was to liquid methadone. I would take approx 25 mgs in the morning and an additional 10-15 mgs at dinner.
Enough was enough and I got in a suboxone program. Now I know opinions will vary on the best way to get clean. I feel this is currently my best option. I run a store, working 60+ hours a week, 6 days a week. Unfortunately I've already missed 4 days due to the flu and being dope sick.
I was suppose to get my script for suboxone last night but the pharmacy messed up. So I ran out and got 2 perk 15s. I took one at 12:30 to help me sleep. Then took half at 9 and the other half at 10:30 or so. When can I take my suboxone? Dr suggested I wait till either last night or this morning but that was before the pharmacy messed things up l. I need help please.

You must be in full withdrawal, before taking Suboxone, or it can throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

How did the pharmacy screw up?

MikeyD,

Whenever methadone to suboxne treatment is undertaken it is essential that you have direct medical guidance so you don't run the risk of percipitated withdrawal syndrome.I can fully appreciate your desire to maintain gainful employment during this time but priorities should dictate the importance of a consistent treatment plan and recovery thus allowing you to be the very best you can be at work and in life
