“How long does it take for Suboxone to take effect?”
My son was prescribed Suboxone for his addiction, and it seem like it works for him. He's not experiencing much anxiety and is generally relaxed after it's taken. How long does it take for Suboxone to usually take effect?

It's pretty rapid- taken sublingually (under the tongue) onset should be within 30 minutes. Sounds like it's doing what it's supposed to. Good for him for getting into treatment. I hope he continues to do well.
The effects of Suboxone on someone who is an opiate withdrawal is generally less than an hour after taking it. It is very fast acting and will pull somebody out of withdrawal very quickly. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>
Suboxone works right away, usually within an hour. Please remember that if your son STOPS taking Suboxone, the risk of relapse is extremely high. He needs to stay on it for YEARS. Luckily, it very rarely has any significant side effects or risks unless mixed with a lot of other drugs.
