Buprenorphine After Percocets

I have been on buprenorphine for 5 years. I have upcoming surgery so both of my doctors want me to stay on percocets that my doctor prescribed. I don't like how it makes me feel anymore and want to go back on my sub. I have only been taking the percs for one week. How long should I wait before I take a sub without getting sick? Thanks to anyone who might respond!

The procedure is really the same as when you first started it, you have to be in full withdrawal. Otherwise, you may go into dangerous precipitated withdrawals, which could include seizures, according to FDA reports.

However, it may not be safe for you to switch back, before surgery, so it is best to follow the instructions you have been provided.

When will you be having the surgery?
