Side Effects Of Suboxone (Page 14)
(Newest replies 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

I would talk to your Dr about Provigil or now the new Nuvigil. It truly helps with the fatigue at least.

Hey yea I get the same nod as you, it starts about an hour after i take my sub. If I keep moving or if I'm doing something i dont notice it but as soon as I sit I start to nod off. I'm thinking this is normal our bodies will most likely build up a tolerance to it as I'm only on my fourth day of medication. The nod is very similair to when I would do oxys which were my d.o.c. I really don't mind it though it's quite nostalgic. My doctor put me on 8 mg 3 times a day from shooting up 120-160 mg oxy's once or twice daily so I dont think the dose is too strong as it kills my withdrawals and i have absolutely no cravings for pills at all.
