I had my gall bladder taken out 3 days ago. Prior to my surgery my sub doc put me on percocet 10mg every 4 hours I was taking 2 1/2 strips of suboxone a day and took that up until the 2 days prior to the surgery the first 2 days with taking the percocet every 4 hours was fine I didn’t feel the greatest but it was definitly tolerable. The after my surgery I was in alot of pain right after they gave me 4 shots of fentynal and it barely worked but by the next day was feeling better until the afternoon I after taking my percocet 2-3 hours later was feeling withdraw and then by the next day which was today I was going through withdraw after 1-2 hours after taking the percocet. I’m pretty sure I’m going through withdraw from the suboxone, But my question is I am ready to start my suboxone I’m not in to much pain anymore and still have plenty of pills left but I dont want to keep taking them just to try and help my withdraw a little bit, I feel awful and am ready to be back on the sub since I have only been taking the pain meds for 5 days how long should I wait after the percocet to start the sub has anyone done this before, Should I wait the 12-24 hours or would a little sooner be ok since after like 6 hours of not taking anything I’m in pretty bad withdraw but I’m trying to hold off for at least 12 hours, do you think that will be enough?
