Until you are in withdrawal, just like when starting Suboxone, to avoid precipitated withdrawals.

The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate 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?

You have kind of helped me. I was on 640mg of ms contin daily. Am now on 16mg of suboxone. I was wondering what would happen if i had a shot of ms contin. Going by what you have said, i wont get a withdrawal from the shot immediately?

Gayrobbie,

That's s really hefty dose and ms contn even if injected can indeed cause precipitated withdrawal syndrome at the very least possibly cessation of breathing. Sounds risky.
