I have been on Suboxone for about two months now and I am a week late on my period. I am NEVER ever late. I know everyone will say that I am probably pregnant so before I get that answer I will say I have my tubes tied. Not clipped, but burnt and tied.
I know women who take heroin stop getting their periods. So I am wondering if Suboxone will do the same thing?

I was on it for a little over two yrs and it stopped my period. As soon as I weaned off I began having periods again. That’s just what happened to me personally. I’m assuming it was due to that. I would consult w your dr and pharmacist.

I have not had my period for months. And now going on five months now I constantly have pms but never start my actual period, so I have been cramping for weeks with... nothing. It is miserable and I don’t know what to do.

This is not uncommon with buprenorphene and methadone. Tell your doctor about it trhough...
P.S. You also experience trouble achieving orgasim but it is also a side effect of these drugs...

I have transferred from methadone to suboxone and have not got my period in three months. I think it is from the change in the medications.

hello house, not doubt, one of the side effects of some drugs is deprivation of menstrual period. Can i know how ladies feel when they encounter this situation?

Well it would feel no different than a woman who is an irregular (such as myself) I'm an identical twin sister and we have always been opposite in that department. She was always on time. And I never knew when it would happenm. Woman athletes also are known not to be regular because of the amount of testosterone they produce... It really doesn't change the woman. If u asked my opinion we still I believe go through all the other sometimes of the cycle.
