Post facelift and upper blepharoplasty pain relief while on Suboxone?

February 28, 2022
Asked By:Daisy22 in Kelowna, BC

I am a 56-year-old woman currently on 8 mg Suboxone a day. I have had different advice on when to start reducing my Suboxone before surgery. My GP has prescribed morphine 5 mg p.o. q4h while staying on the 8 mg of Suboxone. From my research, I don't believe the prescribed dose of morphine will do anything for pain. I am hopeful that Tylenol will be adequate but if it isn't I would like to know that adequate pain relief is available. Help!!
