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.

hey you guys, i'm reading alot of you taking the sub without a doctor.

if you're taking the sub, i assume you wanna get off drugs.  if you can pull out out all the stops and get to a Sub doctor it's going to be your best bet for staying clean.

think of all the energy and money you put into the drugs.. can't you put some of that into seeing a doctor?  hey, i'm not preaching, just wanna see you guys get and stay clean.  and it's possible.  but you may as well hedge your bets the best you can... i just got clean using Sub.  my buddy did after 7-8 years of a sh**load of pills and never thought she'd get clean... but we're bothing seeing doc's and have a plan...

You took 24mgssss  geeeze that would have gotten me to the ER!  This is a different drug and a smll dose will do ya//// do 2 mgs at a time.  every half hour if need be but start slow.

YOu did disolve them under your tongue right??  Sorry just checking since you bought them off the street. I would let mine sit under my tongue and not swallow for 20min... when I got down to smaller doses they disolved much faster..
