You should be able to use it now, all subdoxone has in it is a opoid and then a opoid sepresent (forget the name) where it blocks the opoid high/OD effects for a certain amount of time. I think its one of the things they give people who overdose to bring them back and conter act the opioid for like 8 - 12 hopurs. That is the part in Suboxone that stops the high. That is why If you overdose on methadone they have to watch you and give you more doses of the drug so when it wears off the meathodone doesnt click in again and kill you from OD again. Methadone has like a 24-36 hour half life so the part in the drug in Suboxone that conteracts overdose/high would wear off within 12 - 24hours id say. On subtoxdone you can take your Vicodin and it will still help with pain, you just will not get high from it when subtoxone is taken and active in your body...
So you want to know when you can take your pills again and be able to feel the high effect thinking that is what is making your pain go away which it is not its just the HIGH...
At 26 hours you should be ok it would depend on your dose and how long you have been on it.
For example if I was on methadone for 3 months and came off it well methadone is so strong that within 3 months my tolerance would be so high that Vicodin would do nothing for me anymore because id have such a high tolerance to opoids themselves and Vicodin is such a weak opioid to users..
I do not think people stay on Suboxone long enough though to actually up your tolerance to opoids, so once your last dose is done you should be able to use 1-2 days later again for pain or high what ever one you want.. ;)

Hey sorry I made a mistake on the time Suboxone lasts it has a halflife of about 30 hours so after 30 hours you should be ok to go back but the suboxone should work on your pain fine compared to the weak vicodin lol so 30 hours + after your sub dose will give you best effects....

You definitly can take it by now. The way you can tell is if your starting to feel the withdrawls too. I'm almost positive that sub only lasts about 24 to 48 hours, everybody's different though, with different tolerances and different doses.
