Suboxone/Methadone

Hi everyone, I'm still in the middle of this battle. A couple weeks ago I came off the opiates with the help of suboxone and was successful until the following week when i was prescribed vicodin-then I started taking the subs and the vicodin. Fast forward-I ran out of both, started withdrawal and relapsed on the opiates.

A friend gave me 1 10mg methadone on Saturday morning, then .25 at 9:00pm and another .25 at 2:00am this morning.

I have one suboxone left and I'm wondering when i can take it. I was planning on weaning with the methadone, I had 10 more, but the stuff scares me to death and I flushed it.

I have four phone calls in to different doctors/addiction specialists to see if I can get seen and on a program with a doctor. I know I need medical supervision and I need to quit playing doctor.

I'm just curious if I only took that small amount of methadone, do I need to wait like 3 days before starting the suboxone? I'm hoping one of the doctors calls me back and I'll find out from him what's best.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences.
