What you are experiencing is normal side effects of this medication and they should go away after a few days of being off the medication!. Then you will be feeling back to normal!. Good Luck and Congratulations on your new life! Www@Answer-Health@Com
I will try to answer your question but it is difficult due to not knowing how long you were on Subetex!.
Subetex as you may know is a brand name for the drugs buprenorphine and naloxone!.
Buprenorphine is a combination opiate/antidepressant, Naloxone is an opiate antagonist, combined they provide relief from withdrawls and the depression which can occur; the antagonist will cause very unpleasant side effects if the patient tries to use a narcotic while undergoing treatment!.
It is well known that these drugs do cause withdrawls when stopped or if the dose is reduced too quickly!.
I'm not sure why you have been switched over to plain Suboxone which is buprenorphine without the antagonist Naloxone!.
You say you are taking 2mg!? if that is once a day I do not believe it is wise to stop this drug abruptly!.
No drug which has been used for a substantial amount of time should be stopped abruptly, tapering is always the best and safest method!.
From the symptoms you describe it sounds as if you are going through a withdrawl of Subetex!. The Suboxone should help with that if you are given the appropriate dosage!.
In my opinion you are not taking a sufficient amount of Suboxone to counter the withdrawl effects!.
You may need the dose adjusted to help give you back energy and stave off depression which can become quite problematic if not kept in check!.
I would advise you to speak to your doctor, tell him/her what is happening and ask that your dosage be adjusted!.
It is never wise to rush the process of tapering down off a drug and your body will give you all the warning signs you need to know it is happening too fast, too soon!.
I must say I highly respect your strength and courage in taking the steps to overcome your addiction to heroin!.
It is the most difficult fight and I wish you all the success in the world!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
