Hello. I Have Been Taking Suboxone For About 30 Days,
Hello. I have been taking Suboxone for about 30 days, as prescribed by my doctors. I take 8mg 3x per day.
By mistake I took 2-5mg Percocets as they are very similar to my campral.
So far the Sub has been working and I’ve had no desire to take any painkillers whatsoever. It was an honest mistake that won’t happen again.
My question is this: when should I start back on the Sub? Do I gradually work up to 24mg by splitting it up 3x per day or should I take more now that I’ve missed a dose. Do I need to wait until withdrawal sets in or is it ok to take the Sub immediately.
I appreciate your help as my Doctor is out of town and can’t be reached.
Thanks so much!
