I have to have a complete hysterectomy and my MD who does the Suboxone thought I should go off it completely,switch to percocet or what ever in the hospital and then go back to Sub.  I have so much less depression with the Suboxone.

What else can I do?Miss

Hello and Welcome to the Pain Mangement Forum.

It takes several days to allow the Suboxone to completely leave your system. You should consult with the prescribing physician to determine when you should actually begin the Percocet.

Sorry I cannot provide you with a specific time. Usually each physician had there own criteria when switching from one medication to another.

Best of luck and please feel free to post again.

Take Care,
Tuck

Why are you switching to Percocet after taking Sub, which leans toward helping you get off of the Percocet?
