Just starting Suboxone

[Jeff2770]

Hello everyone...I am a new member and this is my first post. I just started Suboxone 2 weeks ago and found that they give me headaches and some trouble sleeping. I also have a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder and it does wonders for the pain. I was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences.

Thank you

Jeff

hi Jeff the headaches should go away,I got them really bad the first few days then they disappeared,how many mgs of sub are you on ? you may want to break them in half,I take 16 mg daily ,8mg in the am ,eat something first ,may help,8mg later in the day ,but which ever way you take them ,do it the same time each day, so they will be in your system continually.also try an aspirin for the headache or an aleve.hope it helps,Tamm Have A Happy New Year and God bless you....

I am on 24 mgs which I take 8 mgs x3 a day. I hope to start to wean down soon, but I just started on the 11th of December. I has been such a great holiday not having to worry about withdrawls.

I am on 8 mgs a day. I still get headaches once in a while. I have been clean since October 24th. The suboxone has worked wonders. Now I want to wean and be off of it all. The doctor also has me on clondine. That helps ALOT with sleep.

Good luck to you....it all works, believe me.
