How Long After My Last Dosage Of Suboxone Will I Experience The Withdrawal Symptoms?

I was leaving out of town for Christmas and my doctor knew this making sure to write my Suboxone prescription early to pick up. Now they are telling me I can't pick it up till the 23rd which they originally told me the 21st even though the box says the 20th I waited till the 26 to pick it up and now have no access to it. I was wondering how long after my last dosage (8mg a day, 4 in the morning and 4 at night) will I experience withdrawal symptoms? I've heard anywhere from 2-3 days all the way up to a week. If I haven't taken my dosage since this morning (21st) and I can't receive my prescription until the 23rd will I experience only slight withdrawal symptoms or can I expect something comparable to a heroin withdrawal?
