Numb Sensation, Shortness Of Breath Reaction To Suboxone (Page 2) (Top voted first)

So if anyone reading this could give me some insight I really need it! So it's like this, I've obviously had some addictions in the past (for about 3 to 4 years) and up until about 6 months ago I got on suboxone (though I've been on it periodically before) and have been pretty faithful to the program...for the most part. It's definitely been helping but a couple months ago i'd notice that sometimes if I took it later in the day when I go to bed i'd get a whole body numbing sensation really bad especially around my chest area and it would cause really bad anxiety. This would happen a couple times a month; even if I just drank too much it would start happening. I tried talking to my doctor and he doesn't think it's suboxone related but now the bad episodes don't happen because I've cut my doses in half and even still i'll get the heart fluttering, shortness of breath and a little numbness in my chest and arms every other day. I've been to the doctor and they couldn't figure out what it was even after all these evaluations. So I've been speculating that maybe because most of the main veins on my arms and wrists are all too collapsed from past addictions... And a lot of those veins are connected to my lungs. I'm thinking maybe the suboxone is making this cause a reaction to my lungs or something? I don't know how or what kind of doctor I can talk to about all this but if anyone has any insight it would really help a lot. Thanks!

I've been on suboxone 11 years without missing a day and I used 28 years. I have never heard of anything like this and I've worked in a treatment facility for 8 years. Your body chemistry must be different and I would certainly find out why. It saved my life and seen it save many others. Have you tried Subutext

Well I've been on and off suboxone the past couple years.. Most recently I've been on it consistently for 8 months now and like I said it just kinda started out of no where all of a sudden like it was like one day I took it and all this started happening so I don't know why cause it definitely has helped me so much I hate that this is happening. I've been tapering my dose so that helps. I've tried to talk to my doctor about subutex cause I've been on that before as well but this doctors insists he can't write a script without proof of me being pregnant. So. Uhg. I just wanna feel normal.

I'm thinking because I'm taking the AN 415 orange Suboxone I was told there is no blocker. And I got 3-100 mg of morphine pills today. The blue ABC 100. I don't think it will block will it?

Addicts - none fare well - so much attention to VEINS - my only suggestion is that this is a unspeakable sorrow, but I know one human who actually did achieve a life standard addicted to illicit drugs for over 30 years and gave the entire world the middle finger - CHET BAKER - you might want to read his story. Please note he died finally at 56 yrs nodding off from the drugs induced while sitting in an open window and fell to his death.

Well, it shouldn't be hard to prove you are pregnant. I don't want to appear rude but they do have BOTH urine & blood diagnostics that detect pregnancy - So that should be the easy thing to prove.

I'm not pregnant I have and iud right now I was just saying like I couldn't get subtext unless I was but I was thinking maybe the naloxone was causing it and maybe subtext would help
