Answer

Hi XXXXXXXXX,

 

I would not recommend using percocet within 24 hours of taking suboxone. This combination can be dangerous- it can cause lethargy, sedation, and may impair your mental abilities. In fact, you should only take suboxone under your physician's direction and supervision.

 

You should not take any narcotics at this point. Try ibuprofen or tylenol for now.
