Question by Arnold S: How long does Suboxone block opiates?
I took a half dose of 8mg Suboxone at about 1300 CST, I’ve heard the half life is generally about 36-40 hours depending on your body. I’m wondering since I took a half dose if that half-life and the time that it takes to run out of my system will be also drastically lowered.

Answer by ??Diangelo Martina??
Suboxone has an has a half life of 37 hours and is excreted in your urine. After 37 hours you have half the amount in your blood system, after 74 you have 1/4 the amount in your blood system, after 111 you have 1/8 the amount in your blood, after 148 hours you have 1/16 the amount in your blood system and after 185 hours you have 1/32 the amount in your blood system and so on.

Question by Turd Ferguson: Withdrawal from prescription painkillers?
i’ve been on prescription painkillers due to minor surgery. i have been taking them for a week & today is the last of my meds. should i be concerned about withdrawal symptoms?

Answer by wards_angel
I doubt it, but it truly depends on what kind of meds you were taking. For example, Vicodin (hyrdocodone) is much less harmful than say Oxycontin (a synthetic form of opiate very close to heroin). If it is as you say a minor surgery, I would be willing to bet you were taking Vicodin and that your “withdrawals” will be present, though minor. You may feel ill for a few days and have some mild intestinal upset. All in all you’ll alright.

If, however, you were prescribed a stronger opiate, seek professional help, that is, ask your doctor.
