Hi Alchemy,
I'm not sure. Yes, percocet is opiate based. Suboxone has buprenorphine which is semi-synthetic, so I think it works as a partial agonist. It may have other qualities too, that set it apart from an regular opiate. Maybe someone can comment on this.
I have heard that some people are not opiate responders. I don't know what that means regarding suboxone response or if your experience with percocet falls within that category.
I certainly am sorry you have endured depression this long.
Hugs to you.
I dig a pony.
