Don't use the Sub if you are only gonne use it 1 or 2 days... will mess you up more than it will help.. the half life is really long... so 2 days of it is enough to keep it in your body for 6 days... If you are not going to do a proper taper with it then it should not be used...
the methodone probably delayed the peak of your WD's... the half life of that is very long as well
How much Oxy are you coming off of??

2 days just isn't enough time to use sub.. it has to be tapered or it alone can produce serious WD... If you can use it for a week it is a good idea... you start it after you haven't taken a oxy for 12-16 hours.. you have to be in at least mild to moderate withdrawl (withdrawal) to start taking sub or it will put you in severe WD.. it is generally advised to use Sub during the time the Oxy would be leaving your body.. that takes 3-5 days... If you use it for only 2 days you will still be in WD from the Oxy when you stop taking the sub... so if you can use it for a week then I can help you with how much and when to take it...
I just would hate for you to only take it for 2 days and then end up in worse WD.. which is what will probably happen..

you have to wait 24-48 hours after taking methodone b4 taking Suboxone... taking it after taking methodone will put you into severe WD"S... go to suboxone.com for more info on this...

Once you take the Sub you need to wait at least 24 hours, for oxy to work. I was using Norco's, but they never seemed to work right after Sub for 3 or 4 days.    I'd be more concerned that your using Sub as a fill in Drug for Oxy..... This my Friend is a losing proposition........

I see your comment about Sub as a fill in drug for Oxy, and I have also had that concern.  If someone is trying to get off all narcotic drugs, besides going cold turkey, are there any other options?

Sub if used properly short term with a set taper works for some, myself I still had brutal WDs coming off Sub, but my doctor was bad and he didn't advise me at all. When I say fill in drug i mean someone like me who was using it when I didn't have my DOC. You might want to look at Sub for a short term if your serious about quitting ( Less then 20 days).  Day 24 here and Life is so much better!  Go for It!
