Default Suboxone and Swelling

I'm a newbie, so be gentle! Today will be a week since I've started suboxone. I called my doctor with ALOT of questions this week (does it make you sleepy, am I dosing correctly, when is group, does it give you a cold) BECAUSE I have been expierencing alot of things I have never expierenced. Like, talking in my sleep, having a dream and when I wake up actually trying to finish what I was doing in my dream (then I snap back into reality).

Some of these are things I have learned to deal with, but now I have a question that is really concerning me and my doctor did not give me a straight answer at my appointment today. Maybe because I get on his nerves? I dunno. But I noticed on saturday that my feet, ankles and legs were starting to swell. I wasnt bitten or stung by anything. I called my step mom who is a nurse and she suggested i come over and let her check my blood pressure, but my blood pressure was normal, so I figured I'd ask my recovery dr if suboxone caused edema. He just said sometimes and that was it. Wrote my script and left. Should I give my regular general practitioner a call or can someone maybe shed some light? Thanks guys!

Here is the drugs.com link for more suboxone information. I have seen a few people with minor swelling around the ankles while using subs but I don't think it's normally a big problem though at least not to my knowledge. You'll even see swelling as a possible side effect on the link. Other than that it's tough to say what the cause is, it's not something I see daily with sub users though. Hope that helps. God bless.
