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.

methodone has a really long half life.. they say to wait 48-72 hours b4 starting Sub after taking methodone... it will be ok.. just a minor set back..tommorrow take 2mgs wait 30min... see how you feel.. if you don't feel worse.. or the WD is still there.. you will know the difference after today I am sure.. take 2more mgs.. If you are not sure.. come on here and post.. I will be working early but Fishmeal and some others who have also taken it should be here.. I will be home from work around 5pm est.. make sure you post and let me know how you are doing.. For tonight.. I would take something to pass out.. tylenol pm, Nyquil, melatonin, ambien if you have some,valium sometimes Robotussin helps me when I am in WD and can't get to sleep. For the amount of H you were doing you should not need 24-32mgs to keep the sick off... try 12mgs for the day.. after intial dosing in the morning.. wait 6 hours to dose again.
Hope you feel better soon..

1/2 gram to 1 gram of heroin, and 10-20 mgs of methadone.  on tuesday I did 60 mgs of methadone. that's a lot for me, maybe that's why i feel so bad starting the suboxone today.

Try not going back.

Make sure you dissolve under the tongue.
