thanks everyone. I have to say it wasnt easy but after around 20 hours of feeling like i was going to die i finally started to feel better. God! will i never do that again!  That was worse then 10 dope sickness all put together! At first i was to weak and shaking soo bad i couldnt even get to the  computer.fear of what was happening to me gave me  sum strenght 2 write the first mail.I did go to my clinic  real late next day. and after 2 hours i went back to normal. How stupid was i?!!!  This proves u how u do something bad, and karma will kick u in your A** 3 times more.
Few weeks ago i found out i was pregnant! Now , i cant imagine what this did to my baby! I just pray and hope for my baby to be healthy!
And the worst thing...im alone. so alone in this

From what I've read, you aren't supposed to change from methadone to suboxone if the methadone dose is any higher than 30 mg.  I don't know how long the half-life of suboxone is other than it's REALLY long.  I doubt it will be completely worn off in 24 hours.  If you add more methadone to the mix, you stand to have precipitated withdrawal as a result.   avisg is absolutely right.  You're going to have to call the clinic and bust yourself for self-medicating with the suboxone.

vicki595 is right!  When I switched from Methadone to Suboxone I had to go 3 days not taking my meth.  It's got a lot to do with your brain and how the two drugs use the same receptors.  When you take Subox while on meth, it kicks the methadone out of your brain too quickly and causes intense, and fast withdrawal.  I don't know what you did to get yourself back on track but I hope you are OK now.

I can only imagine how much pain you're in. You shouldn't take the sub with any opiates in your system. Don't take anymore.

Do some reading on Suboxone.  Just google it.  Find a sub hotline and call it...
