I Decided To Try Out Suboxone Instead Of Percocet.

I was taking 5 mg of percocets 6 times every 24 hours. I recently tried suboxone to see if could act as a pain killer/substitute for the percocet. It made me feel like I was on an opiate but did not take away the pain. I took a 1/3 of a 8/2 mg strip over the span of 2 days. Wasn't much at all. I just want to go back to my 5mg percocets. It's been about 12 hours since I took my last little piece. Am I good to get back on my percocet regiment now? I no longer feel the effects of the suboxone, probably because I barely took any. But I didn't want to over do it because of the fact of me wanting to try out the transition first. Could someone fill me in? Thank you.

You usually have to wait about 72 hours, before other opiates will be effective for you, again, after taking Suboxone.

Unfortunately, it does not help everyone with pain, though some do have good luck with it.

The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
