Opiate Use During Suboxone Treatment

Updated

How long after taking an 8/2 suboxone strip do you need to wait prior to administering morphine or opiates? I understand that naloxone has a very short half-life, whereas buprenorphine's is very long. Two main concerns, one more pressing than the other:

1) will the opiate have any effect after 24-36 hrs since dosing with 8/2 sub strip?

2) will administering the opiate after 24-36 hrs (as above) cause precipitated withdrawal? - This is the, ah "pressing concern" I mentioned. I'm unable to acquire any suboxone for a couple of days (financial reasons) however the offer of an alternative opiate (e.g. morphine) has been made available to me.

Serious replies to my query only, if you please. I'm facing a long weekend without suboxone, and have to work & study. Thanking you in advance.
