How long does it take Suboxone to wear off before I can take my Percocet again? I only took 20 mg...

Are are You guys getting all of these percs?? I’m in California and unable to find any! I’ve been going through withdrawals and having a hard time. I’ve taking a small portion of an 8mg I believe and wondering when I should be able to take anything?

24 hours is what I do u will have to take a larger dose of percs

I honestly would wait between 3 to 4 days you should be fine.

Im wondering the same thing. I took my first sub 9 hrs ago and was wondering when i could take something else for my back pain.

You guys are ridiculous. You can feel opies like five six hours after taking SUb. Stop looking for answers from docs. Go to blue light and get the truth.

Yes I agree with the last responses 3 days is insane to wait. Ive done it in less than 24 hours and it was a success. However maybe to be on the safe side wait 24hrs but I've done 4mg of sub and than took a oxy 4 hours later and was great. So I wouldn't wait 3 days or even a week that's way to long to wait.

24 hours from personal experience

Are you joking... 3 days is not necessary... 24-30 hrs and you're good to go...

to keep it real I'm not a doctor but at times i feel like it. I'm far from perfect and to ANSWER your Question there is no right or wrong answer to this. Everyone of us is different last time i checked we dont see life through the same eyes and we dont have the same tolerance. what may work for one person may not work for the rest of us. I've been able to do the 8mg sub's and 6 hours later do a perc 30. "sounds pathetic" I know. Again I'm far from perfect. However it is recommended from some professional point of views to wait at lest 24 hours and others may say 3 days. Since your asking this question there must be a great deal of concern when it comes to the possible side effects. My word of advice is it may be best to wait at lest 24 hours. I'm sure I haven't been the best of help but I do wish you the best of luck on what you choose to do. I know what pain feels like and I know what detox feels like and most times i would rather choose to live with pain then with detox. Y()uRs TRueLy, WHyTe

I was on suboxone for 6 days. First 3 days I took 3 8mg strips under the tongue (24mg per day), the next 2 days I did 2 8 mg strips (16mg per day) and the last day I did 1 8 mg strip (4mg in the morning and 4mg at 8:45pm). I realized suboxone was not for me. I heard too many horror stories about it after starting it. Exactly 45 hours after my last 4mg dose I took 3 10mg oxycodones and I felt them hit me after 10 minutes. Most people say 3-7 days but I got probably 90% of the effect that I would have had I never taken suboxone. So 45 hours after taking suboxone I had gotten nearly the full effect from the oxycodone. Just saying that was my experience with it.

I switch back and forth between subs and other opiates weekly... the sub will keep u safe from withdrawal for a good 2 full days... but u can get high the next day after subs. It wont be a waste, trust me. Just take 2 percs and a few cups of coffee... u will feel no pain and your house will be very clean lol. Ive been struggling with all this for 10 yrs, Im not a doc, just my thoughts and experience.

Lillipurp, I think it may build up in your system and it may take 3 days, but if you wait 2 days and start with just a half a perc every 4 hours, you should be safe and as the subs finish wearing off, the percs will start working. Just be careful and don't get too much in your system at once, you still actually can OD. This would be with a moderate to large amount of opiate, but it could happen.

well lilypurp sounds like you got yourself in a shitty situation!!LOL We've all been there besure you have toilet paper.God bless, Carol

Hi Lillypurp. Please be careful with the perc's. I know you must be feeling miserable about this but you really do need to wait. Try to get involved in something, anything, to get your mind off the misery. I know it sounds impossible, but give it a try anyway. Crossword puzzle, books, anything to make the clock go faster. Hang in there and flush the subs.
Best wishes,

I just called the suboxone help line for you. The answer is generally 3 days. I told her how much suboxone you had taken over the past 2 1/2 days, so I believe she is accurate. Did you just take the subs for withdrawal. Or do you plan to use them to get off the percs? If this is the case don't use the subs that way. You have no idea how you are messing with your brain. The sub # is 877-782-6966. M-F 9:00 to 6:45 EST. Also for additional information go to www.naabt.org, its the home base for buprenorphine.
