Suboxone, First Time, Very Low Dose.

Updated

I took an 1/8 or less of a 8/2mg suboxone. I did not take it to get off opiates but to ease through wds until i get my script filled tomorrow This is my first time ever taking suboxone. Will such a low dose prevent me from feeling my percocet in 20hrs?

I don't have personal experience on the matter, but I'd imagine that the Suboxone wouldn't have had much time to accumulate in your system since you've only been taking it for a couple days now.

According to wiki, the elimination half-life of buprenorphine lies anywhere between 20 to 73 hours (or about 37 hours on avg).

If you want to play it safe you should probably give it an extra day and trust your intuition on the timing of your dose. Everyone's metabolism is different, but this way you'd at least know for certain you're going to feel the full effects of a percocet.

I hope this helps!

I have an intake appt. tomorrow at cbi and I am wondering if I will receive suboxone at this appt.? I have already started w/d and don't want to get turned away due to not having any opiate in my system.
