What Causes Suboxone Aftertaste?

I have been on suboxone for years
I take about 2-4mg a day, I haven't been taking it because I have been using heroin for the last couple of days.
I am about to shoot 4 bags of heroin...I just took 2mg's of suboxone...I can literally still taste it in my mouth.
I am going to use...I have used heroin hours after taking my suboxone but never right after....what can I expect?cass

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Both suboxone and heroin are opioid derivative and even if you are taking both, it would not cause any side effect. Suboxone would help you keep the heroin dose in control and help to maintain abstinence. For 4 bags of heroin, i think you should take more suboxone. Resr you can discuss with your psychiatrist.

Thanks
