How Soon Can I Take Suboxone After Heroin?

Question by jose: How soon can I take suboxone after heroin?
I started using heroin a few months ago because I was addicted to pills and couldn’t afford them. The good news is I HAVE HAD IT!!! I am stopping tomorrow and I got some suboxone. I snort the dope btw. But I’m scared, I hear that you can get sick taking the suboxone too soon…and I know if I wait too long it’ll hurt a lot too. So my question is, if I snorted my last bag at midnight tonight, what time tomorrow is safe to take the sub (8mg). Should I take the whole sub or just half or a quarter? I use about 4-6 bags(half a bundle) to 6-10 bags a day roughly. Tonight I did 9 bags starting at like 4:30 pm ending at midnight. Thank you for the help. I WILL STOP forever this time. I will gladly deal with the back pain than deal with this horrible addiction. Please don’t sit there and lecture and say I shouldn’t have started doing heroin as I am well aware of how stupid that was. I would say wish me luck, but I KNOW I am done. So instead wish me congrats ; ) and please help me plan out my sub use. I plan on only doing 2 or three subs as I feel like after 5/6 days I’ll be fine on my own. Any advice would be welcomed. Thank you and God bless.
