How Long Do U Wait To Use Opiates After Zubsolv

How long should I wait to go from opiates to Zubsolv? My doctor says wait till a decent withdraw idk what that means 24 hours? If anyone can shed light on this would help a bunch thank you! Also kinda scared because I took suboxone too quick one time and went into a forced withdraw... Please help thanks. ## Hello Caoz! How are you? You have to be in full withdrawal, otherwise the Naloxone in the Zubsolv could throw you into precipitated withdrawals, which may be dangerous. The FDA classifies this medication as being a narcotic that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I had opiates today at 1:30am ...

I take zubsolv daily. Have been for years. Recently broke a bone and was prescribed pain meds that are opiates. How long should I wait to take one for pain and it work right? Hurting so bad. ## Just take the Zubsolv and don't bother with the 5mg Oxycodone or Vicodin that they will give you for the pain. The Beup in Zubsolve is a lot stronger than what they prescribe after surgeries. I broke a bone and had to be operated on. I didn't tell them about my history so when I came to after the procedure, I was thrashing around in my hospital bed because the amount of pain I was in. The meds they gave me would suffice for a normal person and not an abuser. The Zubsolv will hepl with the pain for sure. I have had back pain for 10 years and feel fine on Zubsolv. Also if you do decide to t...

I have been on opiates for years and ran out of my meds and waited 36 hrs and felt withdraws then I took a 5.7 zubsolv, how long do I have to wait now to be able to take a Norco again? ## Hello, April!

I have been taking Zubsolv 5.7-1.4MG twice a day for 3 years now. I'm about to have surgery and will be prescribed 10mg Percocets. How long do I need to wait for the Zubsolv to get out of my system before I can take the Percocets? I've read it only takes 24 to 48 hours for the Zubsolv to be out of my system but is that still true for someone who has been taking it twice a day for 3 years? ## Usually, it's about 72 hours, before other opiates will work for you, again. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

It's been 20 hrs since I used an opiate. Am I safe to take my zubsolve I have been prescribed. ## This medication cannot be taken, until you are in full withdrawal, otherwise, it could throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals. There is no specific time frame that I can give you, because it can vary from person to person. 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yes - take 1 soon as you start to feel withdrawals. ## I've been taking 8mg Suboxone and now I have 5.7 mg Zubsolv. How am I gonna feel? I'm kinda scared after reading the post. ## I took opiates at 10 pm. How long do I wait to take Zubsolv?

I used a half of a zubsolv 5.7-1.4 mg tablet today at 2am and the other half was taken 6 days ago. I dislocated my shoulder and I have 4 p15s left to use being as though I can't afford to go to a dr. How long do you think before the zubsolv wears off and I can use the p15? ## Hi Ryan, This is just my own opinion based on what I've been hearing on some of these other related threads. But depending on how long you've been on Zubsolv, it's generally best to wait at least a few days to a week or so between taking Zubsolv (buprenorphine + naloxone) and other opiates in order to receive their full effects. This is primarily because of buprenorphine's long half life of 24 to 42 hours; at which point half of whatever dose you took will be eliminated from your body, and half ...

I am in a foreign country. I ran out of my Zubsolv. I took my last dose yesterday, over 24 hours ago. Since then, I received a prescription for paracetamol / codeine. How long do I need to wait to take it before it is safe and will work? ## It usually takes about 3 days, before opiates will become effective for you, again, though it can vary from person to person. The NIH warns that this medication carries the of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. However, this medication will not match the potency of Zubsolv. Have you started taking it, yet? How are you feeling?

How long after using opiates can I take Zubsolv without making the withdraws worse? ## You need to be in full withdrawals, otherwise the Naloxone in the Zubsolv could throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals.

When taking this, it is always best to follow your doctor's instructions. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yeah, but wait till you start withdrawing. You don't have to be in full blown withdrawal but wait till you have symptoms. You don't have to be sick as a dog to take it,I know, i've been there and have taken ...

I tried taking 2 5/3.25s yesterday at 3 ( @24hrs) will that screw me up for today?? They will be a stronger mg ## Well I took 5 7.5s lortabs today at 50hrs clean and felt equivalent to as if I took one lortab I will take more tomorrow And see if I feel the full effects at 60-70 hrs clean of zubsolv/ suboxone ## Hi ash, From what I understand, due to Buprenorphine's long half life, it's usually a good idea to wait a at least 3-5 days (72hrs or more) before taking any opiates in order to feel their full effects. Some patients may find those numbers debatable based on their experience. And I believe i...
