Side Effects Of Suboxone (Page 14) (Top voted first)

I have been on suboxone now for just under a month. I think it is an amazing drug, i have had no cravings or interest in returning to opiates, my drug of choice was oxy. I get up every day feeling happy, and am able to take on what ever the day brings me. I am also on lexapro for depression at this time. There is one problem after i take my dose, which is 8 mg. twice a day, I am extremely tired sometimes to the point where if i sit down I will nod off, so I keep moving and can usually fight through it. I am wondering do other people feel this way or does it get better the longer you are on it? Two other things that are sometimes very bothersome are dizzyness and extreme dry mouth. I just wanted to find out other peoples experiences. Thanx

The reason you don't have cravings for opiates ... could it be that you '' had enough '' ? ... Subuxone is Methadone & Naltraxone combined in one pill ( the percentage of the antagonist is much smaller than the % of Metha ) ... The only way to stop opiates is ... to stop opiates. Taking methadone to stop opiates addiction is like putting out fire with petrol , since Methadone is an opiate ... naltraxone is a antagonist ( some say what a stupid idea , many have gone back to H use, due to this cocktail ... or so they say). I have been on methadone for +5 years and feel worse than when I was on H , much worse ...

Your diet (after a detox of opiates ...) is the key to total recovery. It takes anything up to 10 years to totally recover ' Brain normal functions, with a proper diet ... there is a book by one of the doctors that was a pioneer in opiates detox, using Methadone, that says '' if I could turn back time, I would never had used Methadone to fight a opiate addiction ... '' ... but more than likely you will not be able to find this book on sale anywhere ... try Pirate Bay , it's in there in .PDF format ( Molecular Neurobiology of Addiction Recovery.pdf )

Good luck (you will need it...) on your recovery.

Hi there. Congrats to all of you for doing so well. My boyfriend has been on suboxone for a little over a year now. I started going out with him about 8 months ago and he shared his past with me. He told me about Suboxone and how it has really helped him. However, throughout our relationship I have been really frusterated because he will nod off and be super tired. It's hard for me to understand and I have to think it's the sub because he will sleep 10+ hours and still be tired. Other days he's totally fine though. He's taking 12 mg per day. He started out taking 30. I think he takes 8 mg in the morning and then 4 mg in the evening. Regarding his sex drive he really doesn't have one, but again some days it's great and other days he can't even get an erection. I love him and I support him and I am so proud for what he has achieved, but I do worry about these symptoms. Sometimes I think he's trading 1 vice for another. The one comment said that these symptoms are a direct result of taking too much. I have a feeling that may be the case. Eventually he will be starting to weed himself off of it. Any thoughts on all this? Thanks in advance. Much appreciated.
