I have only been on sub for 2 months so i can’t really advise but i can tell you how it has went for me. i took percocet only and at the worst hit 120 mg a day but it usually ranged 60-100mg of percocet 10 . this was over about an 8 month period starting with onlt perc 5 taking only 20-30mg a day of course increased over the months until i hit that high dose and terribel withdrawl wheni ran out of my script early and knew i had a problem that needed fixed. I was started on 16 mg a day 2 8mg film strips. i had lots of side effects at first.. insomnia being the worst at first .. just laying there awake most of the night, bad headaches and anxiety.. over time the side effects faded and my dosage leveled off. i questioned in another post if i could be ready to taper a bit, and the answers i got were definitely worth thinking over.. not to taper too quick without being prepared to facce some cravings ect. there s a lot more to it than just tapering right away it seems, but everyone is different and it depends on your situation, as to why you were taking oxy, what made you get on subs, are you prepared to taper and not feel the need to take any pills and much more. The side effects almost scared me off subs but i hung in there and they did get better. i dont know if this is any help but it’s what has worked for me.. also depending on other factors i know some docs do allow a sleep aide if the insomnia doesn’t go away… so i would def call your doc office and tell them your side effects and see what they can do. My doc office is pretty good and helpful and even let me stay on my anti anxiety meds with sub which has been pertinent to me staying on sub since i had panci attack issues prior. good luck and keep us posted !
