Hello all, Can anyone tell me how long you have to wait from last dose of opiate to begin Subutex? I heard Subutex has no wait period but, is that true? I am so scared of going into immediate W/D. Thanks

TO LISASLIFE: My first sub dr. made me wait 12 hours. She even wrote me a script for hydrocodone to get me through the rest of the day (asked me how many I would need!!)….then she said take nothing after midnight and the next morning I could start my suboxone. She also did not dose me in the office..so I don’t know how good she was. My new
Dr. dosed me in the office and made me wait 24 hours. This is just how they did me, I don’t know whether it is right or not.
Good luck to you!…….Judy
