I started taking suboxone on April 12, 2010. I have been on morphine, Vicodin, & every benzo available. None were off the street. All prescribed by my psych after a botched surgery. It took two yrs & 2 mo to the day, to have my revision surgery, which was 2/14/12. I was down to taking two Vicodin 7.5 per day. Had actually been more active in the 5 days prior to starting the suboxone than I had been in over a yr. The nurse told me, " you will feel a big difference & so much better before u even get back to ur car". I said ok, but I'm not feeling bad now. I started violently throwing up exactly one hr later, had serious issues throwing up & every classic withdrawal symptom there is. This lasted 3 days. Keep in mind that I felt fine when I was taking two vicodin per day. On the 4th day I felt better & continued feeling better, but not great, for one wk. No throwing up. On April 19, 12 days after my first dose (took an 8 in the morning and another 8 before bed) I started throwing up again, severe migraine, profusely sweating, tremors, nausea deluxe, dizzy, lightheaded, panic attacks, insomnia, runny nose, itching, loss of appetite and involuntary muscle twitches, much like restless leg syndrome, but all over. I kept calling the pain doc & they basically wrote me off. Today I finally convinced them to let me come in. I took an urine test upon arrival. He saw me & physically took me to be weighed. I have lost 12 lbs in 3 wks. He said that when I called complaining about starting to feel worse, he assumed that I was back on Vicodin or an illegal drug on top of the suboxone, but my test clearly disproved that. He actually apologized & called my case an enigma. Said he has never had a pt lose weight like that & never had anybody start getting sick from the suboxone after the first few days, not to mention, feel better for week, then start to feel worse than I did before I even started suboxone. So, as directed, skipped my dose tonight, I will take half of one 8 pill, the next day a quarter of a pill, then none the next day. Hoping my symptoms go away, but have to notify him if I start having true withdrawal symptoms again. I have a follow up a wk from tomorrow. So, according to him, this is unheard of. I can't find any other cases that are similar to mine. I really need some support. I'm very scared & just want my life back! Please let me know if you or someone you know has experienced something similar after taking suboxone. Thx! God bless us all & guide us out of this dark hole of pain & sickness!

Hello AndAbeEve,

I have been tampering off Suboxone. Not because I want to because my insurance no longer pays for it.

I started taking the film. Could not hold any food down for two weeks. Lived on crackers and ginger ale soda.

I could not believe how much weight I lost. 16 pounds! Had to stop the tampering down. Strange had no side effects

with the pill but boy did I have side effects with the film. Sweating excessively, violent vomiting, which was very painful and the weight

lost. Also severe mood swings. Even had suicadal thoughts. Now thank God I am down to one 2mg film which I cut in half. My doctor

is no help at all. Thank God for these forums.

Good Luck & Wishing You the best<3

SO what should I do. I've been Tapering off this c**p for 2 1/2 Years . Started WITH 2- 8Mg. ers, A DAY NO Problem, I Have A High Tolerance. Now I'm down TO 2-2mg' ers A DAY But Still Run into Trouble When I Take MY Tuesday and Wednesday Doses on Monday→ Then at the end of the Month I Have to go A couple days Without Before I can get my Script Filled and My world comes crashing Down. This STUFF IS evil! DOES A person need to wean down to A crumb A DAY Before They can Stop and feel Somewhat Normal ? This sh*t is powerful! it's been so long and I Dream of the Day when I don't have TO Rely on it to function. IS it Possible?
