Have any people on here had a problem with swollen feet or lower legs after starting Suboxone..or maybe from stopping alcohol or pain killers?
My daughter has been in outpatient rehab for alcohol/narcotic addiction. She has been clean about 6 weeks...she has been started on Suboxone also. She had pretty heavy swelling in her feet and lower llegs for a couple weeks...and still has it...but it is less. Anyone ever have this problems from stopping alcooj\hol or drugs...or from starting suboxonee? she's also taking priozac..but has been taking that over a year.]
Thanks |

You don't say what dose of Suboxone she is on.
Taking high doses of any narcotic over a long period of time can cause this type of swelling. This happened to me with oxycodone. Is she taking 16mg's or more a day. I didn't have this problem with Suboxone. I tried to keep my doses low. When I first started Suboxone, I started at 8mg's a day. Two weeks later I dopped that to 6mg's a day. If she is on high dose, Talk to her DOCTOR. Instead of looking for answers here.
Wish ya all the luck and GOD BLESS, you both. |

I am looking for answers myself on this issue. 2 months ago I started to become very swollen on my feet, ankles, calves, thighs, hips, hands, arms & face. I had liver, kidney & heart labs done & they all came back normal so the only thing it could be is a combination of suboxone & hormones. It seems to get much worse near my cycles but never completely goes away. I've been on suboxone since 3/2008. Took 8mg's once per day for one month then switched to 2mg's split in half & taken twice a day. Maybe someone out there has a solution to this since I will be taking it long term for a chronic pain condition. The er doc did mention I could try cutting down on salt or ask my pcp if I should try diuretics.
