I have a quick question. If I am posting this incorrectly or in the wrong place I apologize as I am new to this site. I took Percocet 10/325 for 2-3 years. I decided I wanted to get away from them for the most part. I was not addicted, but my body was tolerant. I figured I would only use them once or twice a week at the most as needed. I took Suboxone for the past 2 weeks to get through the withdrawals. The last time I took Suboxone was Monday. Today my back hurt so bad I broke down and took a few Percocets since I did not have Suboxone at work, but I still had a few Percocets in my drawer. How long should I wait before taking the Suboxone again?

I have searched and searched for a similar question, and all I could find are people who are taking Suboxone to avoid Percocet withdrawals. I know usually you should wait until you go into withdrawals to take the Suboxone, but I am no longer in Percocet withdrawals and did not take enough today to go into withdrawals again (I think?). Will taking Suboxone tomorrow cause any harmful or uncomfortable effects?
 
Suboxone will not cause precipitated withdrawals if you are not dependent on full agonist such as oxycodone, so you're completely fine taking it any time you wish.
