Information about Suboxone

I started Suboxone detox today.  I have been on Lortab medication for 7 months because of ongoing kidney stones. A month ago, the last of my stones were removed and I've been regaining my good health.  For more than 2 weeks, I did not need the meds for PAIN.  I was taking the pills strictly so I would not get physically ill.  Yesterday, was the last time I took a Lortab and today I received 2 Suboxone tablets and was sent home with a 3rd pill to take later when I become symptomatic.  
My question is this.... realistically, in a week, I will be detoxed from the Lortab pills.  So what kind of withdrawal symptoms will I have with the Suboxone, if any?  Does anyone know what the typical dose is daily for Suboxone?  3 tablets?  4? 2?
I am mostly concerned with any problems that will arise from withdrawing from the Suboxone.  Thanks in advance.  I can be reached via email at ***@****

how many mgs are the subs u have?..i would find it unlikely that u would get addicted to the sub with only 3 pills....i am not sure what ur dose of lortab was but if it was 80 mg or less a day..1 pill could last you a week if it is 8 mg...they also make 2 mg pills...short/ low dose use of sub is not usually habitforming
