Ok well here is my story.. have an addiction to percocet but have been doing well..Started taking suboxone a year ago..Came off 1/4 of a 2mg and was feeling pretty bad with withdrawls ..to my surprise!! I was told the small dosage I was on, I would feel very lil wd's.. yeah right! anyway i read somewhere that taking percocet will help with the wd's..i know..STUPID!! So I took percocet 4 a week, and 2 pills 4 x a day.. of 10/325.. Now tis is 48 hours and I am in terrible wd's!! same stuff sweats, rls, insomnia.. ect.  Is this from the suboxone or am I going through wd's after taking percocet for a week..it just makes no sense?? how long will this last..please help me...

So you may have took to many percs a day. I have been takeing suboxone for three years now and im tired of it. Im on my third day without sub and I dropped off of it at 24mg once a night. I also take adderall and I have meds to help me sleep. I took two vicoden 5s lastnight before I went to bed and I woke up this morning not felling very good. But im much better then I have ever felt before going thur any withdraws. It may work to take pain pills for some people to go thur w/ds from sub but you cant take too many and you cant take them for too long or you will probably just have withdraws from those but im not sure yet. But I will find out what happens and in the end i will be clean for the first time in a long time.

YES IT'S from both, I'm on suboxone, I just starting 14 days ago and i've been clean ever since but if you're coming off them percocet wouldn't be the right choice to help. Of course they will help with the withdrawals. I can't believe someone would even post that they would be a good way to help. Sorry you had to go through that! I know when you're going through withdrawal you are desperate for anything to help and i understand why you took them. Just stay off of them and soon it will be better. It will take some time but you're  going to be ok. and soon you'll feel great! HUGS

It's probably a combo of both drugs. I'm not really sure but I would think either way in a few weeks you should be starting to feel better. The perc's might have set you back.  Hang in there. It will be worth it in the end.
