Suboxone Dose Can I Ask For More
UpdatedSo I've been taking suboxone for two months now 2 8mg a day and I works great I take 1 when I wake up and 1 at lunch but then after about 5 or 530 I'm starting to feel like I need another 1 and I sometimes take it and it helps so much better for me to finish the day and goto sleep would my doctor be fine with adding another dose or should I just not say anything for fear of him not seeing me anymore please help

Hello, Matthew! How are you?
You may be taking them too close together. Unless your breakfast and lunch are 10 to 12 hours apart, that is most likely the issue. You may want to try taking the second dose a few hours later.
The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
Most people only take one a day and 3 would usually not be permitted.
Is there anything else I can help with?
