Depends, really. Are you actually looking for legitimate pain relief for a real issue, or looking to get high again? I've been on Suboxone for 5 years and 6 months ago some screws used to fix a broken ankle got very infected and infected the bone around it. Osteomylitus with the infection being the MRSA infection. Painful doesn't even begin to describe the feelings I had. Now I was different than you in the sense that I was currently on Suboxone treatment, making my tolerance to pain medication extremely high. I actually carry a card around with me, given to me by my doctor, that explains what physicians, who are not familier with Suboxone, should do in the event I am in pain and need relief. There are two options. One, give me about three times the normal dose and it will help, but not completely. The other option is to IV a sedative and give me something like torradol. (that knocks me out as I am not used to taking benzos). Because doctors normally don't feel comfortable with either, I suffer. I get on average 3 kidney stones a year and I hate showing up to the emergancy room, with my 5 year old injection scars, complaining of pain and handing them that card.

Wow...I wonder if any of that was even on topic. Back to the point. If getting high is your objective, I'd go strait back to the big H, just not as much as you ended with as your tolerance has gone down some. If relieving actual pain is the objective, use as little as possible. Use something that helps, but doesn't give you the "taste for opiates" you worked so hard to get away from.
