First Dosage Of Subutex Today. A Few Questions
UpdatedMy partner is a heroin addict for nearly 20 years after an unimaginable ordeal happened to her. She's been on Methadone, but stopped about 4/5 months ago and was taking heroin at the same time.
She had her first dose of 8mg today.
About 1 and a half hours ago now and she says she has had no effect. I'm praying it starts soon! She went 18 hours without H before taking this pill. She was in full withdrawal.
My question is, she cannot get another dose till the earliest 9am tomorrow, that's about 19 hours from now. Assuming the sub works today, when will she feel like she needs more? Is it a gradual thing, or does she drop off the edge fast? Does she need a few doses to get on a level or should I expect immediate improvements? She took the tab and went straight to bed, got very sleepy but her anger is keeping her awake. I'm worried this thing isn't going to work and she's gonna be going out of her mind with no way to make herself feel well.
I'm so scared that this isn't going to work or it will not last long enough and she'll turn wild again.
My whole family's life is pinned on this drug working as my 2 boys and I cannot take much more of this! It has to work.
Lastly, she takes coke, not a full blown crackhead but if she can get away with it, she'll have some. Will subs help at all with these cravings or do anything at all? Will the coke interact with subs?
Thanks in advance.

Hi how did you’re partner manage with the Subutex. Not sure about them as never heard of them. Or not sure on when to take first dose of subs.
Was wondering if you knew when to take the first dose and how much first time I have 2mg-8mg bilingual tablets
Thanks
