I have been taking tramadol for about 3 months (13 per day) and when I tried to stop I got unbelievable withdrawal. Can I detox with percocet? I never cared for them so don't think I'll be switching addictions. Also, I took suboxone yesterday, about 1/4 and then another 1/8 and another 1/8. Last 1/8 was at around 4pm. I have a splitting headache now, can I take a percocet? I hate suboxone, it gives me a headache a lot. I may be better off detoxing with percs.
Can I take a percocet, it's been 16 hours since I took and 1/8 of suboxone?

Hi going nuts,
The Suboxone may prevent the percs from working at first. Are you in chronic pain? You might want to ask your doc about this. Opiates can be great for chronic and debilitating pain, as you know, yet very addictive.
Quitting trams cold turkey can be dangerous, it can cause seizures, so please be careful. Also there is an SNRI quality to Tramadol, so you may find yourself a bit depressed after being off them for a while. If so, talk to your doc asap!
Best wishes to you,
sweetlemon

Thanks again Sweet Lemon. I believe that's why I got addicted to the Tramadol in the first place. For the first time in a long time I felt great, not depresssed. And now I'm addicted. Unbelievable! Do you know how long you have to be off of sub before you can take an opiate again?
Hi GN,
I am not sure about the time period between subs and opiates. Perhaps if you google it, you may find the answer. I will try to find out some info for you.
Just hang in there. Are you in pain at the moment?
