Can I Substitute Suboxone Instead Of Percocet For Chronic Pancreatitis?
I have been taking Percocet for a decade for chronic pancreatitis. I have stopped taking the percot since sept16. They have given me 4 mg of suboxcen. Although the pain level is under control. I would say 75 percent of the pain is relieved. But there are some days that the pain is intense. I do not take percent for fun or a high. I take it after having seen drs is mass ,Florida, and California. I have seen gastroenterologist and been referred to pain clinics which all say they can t cure this chronic pancreatic and the final result each time is to mama get my pain with Percocet. I took it into my own hands went to rehab for7days. And have been actively participating in a five hour a day. M-f. I am in a lot of pain right now. I took 4mg of suboxin and I found a 5 milligram percot and I really am debating whether to just take it to relieve this pain. I read side effects and seems like a low dose should be ok. Can I take this pill to get past this pain

Can I Substitute Suboxone Instead Of Percocet For Chronic Pancreatitis?
Hello One Percocet right now may not cause you too much discomfort, but there are two points here-- 1) With the opiate receptor blockage from the naloxone in the Suboxone, there wouldn t likely be any pain relief. 2) You could have some opiate withdrawal symptoms if you took the Percocet So my advice is to forego the Percocet
