Heart Disease and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Testing. In this article. C-reactive protein -- or CRP -- appears to be correlated to heart disease risk.

Note: The amount of time Suboxone stays in your system following discontinuation is subject to significant variation among users. Due to its long half-life, it can take up to 10 days after complete cessation to fully excrete the drug; this could be why symptoms become most severe 1-2 weeks into withdrawal.
Methadone is a long-acting opioid with a long half-life, and it can take 36 hours to a few days to be fully flushed from your body. In order to avoid precipitated withdrawal, you should wait to begin taking Suboxone until all other opioids are completely out of your bloodstream.
