Vision problems on Suboxone?

I know I'm super late. But yes that's normal and you shouldn't need an ER visit unless your vision is starting to go black (cant see anything). For me, it makes it feel like I am in a dream when the sun is starting to set. I believe its my eyes trying to adjust to the lighting. However, it affects everyone differently. If it feels serious, id definitely bring it up to your doctor.

I see this post is from 2009! I’m seeing it now

I have been on Suboxone for several years. I am on 8mg twice daily. I tried to taper to 6 mg twice daily, and am experiencing very blurry vision in my right eye. I am also wondering if it could be from the Suboxone. Sorry that I don't have an answer for you, but if anyone else has experienced this type of problem, please respond. Thanks.

Yes i agree, my vision is thrown off at some points. Plus it does not help that I wear contacts lol. Suboxone tends to do that with your vision. My does it on and off out of nowhere

Hey Zoey--
I can relate to your side effects concerning the suboxone. I have been on this medication for about two months now and in the beginning experienced a little bit of vision impairment. I drive a windy, mountainous road, to and from work and my distance and yellow line location judgement were in fact being affected by the medication. Luckily, now the side effects have diminished and I am able to stay on the medication for maintenance from my opiate dependence. Hopefully, you will be able to find success with suboxone because this medication has been able to save my life.
Best of luck to you.
Sincerely, Jackie

I have has vision problems since Day 1 and never associated it with sub. But a friend had it too, and also had it. It comes and goes. But it's prominent. Like blurry vision at moments, odd.

I am almost 10 days clean from Subutex. So maybe some carrot juice will help!

hey zoey Yeah its weird you say that cause i started suboxone yesterday and have a little pro. focusing felling really spaced out i am on 24 mgs a day

I've been on Suboxone for 16 months and my eyesight is getting worse as well. I never had double vision in my life before or have to squint so much as I have this past year and 4 months. I did not know about this warning you all are talking about. How many people are experiencing these vision problems?

I,ve been taken 3 Suboxone 8mg a day. I,ve never had a problem with vison. Now,If you,ve been having vision problems while takeing this med, i would call a doc, "ya never know... "I wish you the best!! John

zoey, I have the same problem with the blurry vision. I started on subs in mid may and am down to .05mg (from 24 mg!) I figure that since i've been off my d,o,c,s, which kept me in a permanent nod, I have been crazy busy on computer, reading, crosswords,sudoku etc. Wanted to make sure I didn't burn up all my brainpower. So I think that we are starting to use our eyes for good use again, and it will take a while for our eyes to catch up with our brains. Hope this helps, hang in there and all the luck to you. Julie P.S. If you feel you need to see a doctor by all means do so.

no u should not worry so much i have been on it now 10 months and the dr said that it goes away eventually it took about 2 months before my problems went away

Zoey, I have been on Suboxone for over 2 yrs now and had great vision. Not I need a "+2.00" reading glasses, and recently i'm having ALOT of trouble seeing far. I have been on between about 4-6mg for about a year. Im in my mid forties and thought it was old age creeping in. (And it could be). But recently with the speed of vision loss It can't be anything else.
Let us know what you find. It's getting worse not better.

yea i thought that it was just me,but yea i have noticed a reduction in my sight sometimes i have to squint to see stuff.its gotten so bad if im reading something i will sometimes read the same thing twice.now i do where glasses but i just got a new pair last month and of course i got my eyes checked and he put me on a new presciption cause you ,sometimes you have to change it as your visions gets worse,anyway i hope that subs dont effect your vision forever.but i do feel better knowing im not the only one, i was getting ready to go back to the eye dr. i meen if you are that worried and its getting worse i would go,but if your e.r. is like ours here then good luck .i was there for a seizure and told him i was on suboxone and this dr turned to me and said ive never heard of that.so i actually had to tell him about.but im sorry kinda got off the subject.i just thought i would make you feel better knowin it is doin the same to me.

hmm i can only give you my experience when i first started taking suboxone. i actually started on subutex which i believe is stronger than suboxone but i felt nausas and dizzy. i had trouble breathing at first and would nodd out. i actually threw up at work and had a fever and they sent me home. id take a less dosage to see how you react. ive read that if you suffer these symptoms that i suffered then it may be cause of the dosage. how long have you been on it for? if it gets worse id deffinately go to the ER..see if lowering the dosage works
