I'm having problems starting on suboxone, and looking for advice. I'm not real confident in my doc's abilities at this point, I don't think she's real experienced with suboxone, so that's why I'm here asking questions.

DOC - 11 tramadol a day, 50 mg

Doctor gave me a script for 2mg 3x a day (with no instructions on what I was to do....thank goodness I've read a bit about the suboxone).

I waited 20 hours before taking the suboxone, 2mg. Took a second 2mg. Second day, I took 2 + 2 + 2 as prescribed. I felt dizzy and tired most of the day. Finally felt "normal" after taking the last pill in the evening.

Third day, yesterday, took my first pill and felt tired and light headed. I developed a bad headache and started throwing up. In the afternoon, I ended up taking 4 2mg pills because I thought maybe I wasn't taking enough --it helped my headache, but seemed to make the vomiting and tiredness worse. Evening I took 2 more 2mg pill....for a total of 14 mg.

I called my doc yesterday and got no answers from her. Today I'm at a loss on how to go forward. What should I take? Back to the 2+2+2?

I actually don't feel half bad today, but I don't know what I should be taking now.

This is confusing.

Please disregard post -- I think I put this in the wrong area.
