Day 1 of Heroin withdrawl on Suboxone, HELP!

I did my last shot yesterday at about 11AM.  This morning I took 24 mgs of suboxone, and am feeling horrible!  This must be the naloxone reacting with the dope.  I didn't wait long enough - ****!  Does anyone know how long this wd feeling will last?  When I should take more suboxone?  I am doing this all by myself.  I bought a 30 tab bottle of 8 mg suboxone off the street.  Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

It takes a certain license to be able to prescribed suboxone. In order for you to be able to be successful with suboxone you have to realize that it isn't only a pill but a program. Suboxone puts your withdrawals on hold until you are ready to deal with them. Suboxone isn't some magic pill to keep you from having withdrawals. You will experience withdrawal once you stop taking the sub. if you do decide to use suboxone be sure you work on your recovery by at least attending NA and/or an addiction therapist.

In order to find a doctor follow the link provided. Type in your zip code and hit enter and it will bring up a list of sub doctors in your area. Suboxone isn't cheap. Not all accept insurance.

Be sure to do plenty of research before making the decision to start suboxone.

Pour the remainder down the drain. Do not do anymore.
Go on suboxene.
Have sex mid day.(it will boost endorphines)Try to everyday to ease symptoms of withdrawel. I am not kidding.
Start every four hours one tab. Taper down to half a pill at a week. Then to 1/3 pill etc.
My very best friend has been clean for three years now and he did the Suboxene after 10 year habit.My other best friend quit cold turkey, no withdrawel symptoms after 8 months on.
Yayyyyyyyyyy!
EVERYONE CAN DO IT!!!! Please don't give up. My sis is a doc. and she treated at the best drug clinic in Miami.
Please believe in yourself! I do! Hope everyone gets clean!
