Miracle Pill?

[cjsg]

Miracle Pilll? So far it has been a nightmare. I wondered if anyone had the same xperience with this drug

I am so sick right now I can hardly sit

Yesterday I started Suboxone.. I took a haif of an 8mg and the other have within 3 hours. It made me very sleepy. VERY sleepy and after the second half I got the worst migraine in the world accompanied by nausea from hell. I could not function all day yesteday.. today I called the doctor. Hes not in town so M message was forwarded to another doc´s nurse and I havent received and answer... I was amazed to see I was supposed to take a whole pill twice a day today but i only took a quarter and am confronted with the same debilitating headache and nausea. Today it isnt as bad but if I had taken an entire pill I can onlly imagine what hell I would be in.

I have not tAKEN ANYTHING with this medication. I do not feel the urge to go back to my doc but I m almost betting its due tot he fact that I am literally to screwed up for some reason. I am not suffering horrible WD though. a little but not a lot I would almost prefer it to this headache and nausea... it is rather nasty. According to me I took this as directed and was into nasty sweaty Withdrawal before I took this and I am not taking any other medication besides aspirin and Ibuprofen.......

Anyone had this experience with this crap?
Thanks Chris?

I wondered if anyone else experienced this.... I must say that so far my opinion is ask My Dr to suspend this asap

Actually, the headache, sleepiness, and the nausea may be precipitated withdrawal brought on by taking the suboxone too soon after a fix. Did you wait about 24 hours after your last fix to take your sub? The only other thing I can think of would be that the nausea is possibly caused by swallowing after you let it dissolve. Some of us had to spit out the orange stuff after we let it dissolve for about 1/2 an hour in our mouths. You did let it dissolve for at least 20 minutes, didn't you?

If it is precipitated w/d, you will be sick awhile, but it will resolve. However if it is some type of allergy or sensitivity to the naloxone, you may have to spit it out after the 20 minutes instead of swallowing.

I urge you to talk with a doctor, or go to the ER if you are feeling really ill. Don't try to resolve this on your own by taking some other opiate, as it'll just get worse.

The subs were an absolute miracle for me. But I also took them exactly as prescribed, and went to NA all the time, got a sponsor, a home group, a network, service commitment, etc. I suggest you do it all. Don't cheat yourself out of any part of recovery, because all of it is wonderful. Hang in there, it gets better, and call a doctor!

Love,

I originally thought that I was put into precipitated withdrawal when I started Suboxone the first time. However, I got sick the second time also and I knew with absolute certainty that it was not PW. Some people just get sick when we start the stuff. I've read it suggested that the sickness might be because the induction dose is too high. I have difficulty believing this explanation in light of the fact that I never got high during the induction and some who claim that they got quite high don't report that they got sick.

I couldn't reach my doctor for the first 24 hours of being sick. It was very frightening and frustrating. Hang in there, Chris. It gets better. Stick close to the boards so that we can encourage you.

Hi Chris,

I have no real advice for you today mate, sorry.

I tried bupes last year for my addiction and didn't have a good experience.

Please listen to Kj and Christin, they know what they're talking about. There are also quite a few more people with experience with subs who I'm sure will post on your thread.

If you're not feeling good go to a doctor or the ER, don't take any risks.

I care about you very much,

Much love,

Faerie x

Ok... Thanks soo much. I knew this one smelled of one of those ones where you follow complete directions only to find out the contrary.

I may have taken it early but.... one thing I have noted is the fatc that people mention spitting out this stuff...... Now its time to t laugh because I do not remember hte doctor explaining this part to me. I let them dissolve but I was passing everything else. I an willing to bet my life this is why. That and the fact I m just starting them. Thanks sooo much. srry to be short but I have to go lay down....projectile vomit and perma nausea isnt fun

THanksss

I too have never heard of spitting them out after they dissolve, I would let it dissolve until it was gone..took a good half hour. And i would drink something after. My doc made it very clear to me that i needed to be in moderate w/d or not to bother showing up as it would make it worse.

Thanks for the information. I, too, and dealing with an absent doctor. Unreachable until tuesday.

He did some assesment of withdrawal at the appointment. he indicated it was almost time to take it as I had tremors and other withdrawal, but he urged I wait as long as humanly possible. I might have messed this up a bit. I know exactly what withdrawal feels like and I have never had the headache or the nausea that this drug gave me. It´s 11pm, after taking nasuea medicine I feel rough and I have not completley recovered. My stomach is in knots, I m shaking, and having some uncomfortable WD but I still don´t feel motivated to take that pill. I may later after I read up a LOT....again thanks
Chris
I find it curious that my peers seem more knowledgeable on the nuances if this thing than other sources.

[cjsg]

By the way I waited almost 23 hours after using to take this. Still I think I may have taken it too early

CJ.
Id bet you took it to soon I had nothing but relief when I started mine givr a day or two.

[kj3880]

you can spit it out if you hold it in your mouth for a half hour first. You will still get the full benefit of the medication without ingesting the naloxone. The opioid in this is absorbed by the mouth tissue, not the stomach lining.

Chris,

I'm praying that it's getting better for you. If you are having a reaction to the Naloxone, spitting out your Naloxone-tinted saliva should decrease the headaches (maybe even the nausea). From what I've read, most peoples' adverse reaction to the Naloxone is a headache. If you are simply reacting badly to the induction (as I do), the headache and the nausea will go away. My headache continued as a dull ache for a couple of days afterwards.

I want to remind you that if you aren't taking enough of the Sub, you will have withdrawal symptoms. As you have not taken the prescribed amount since starting, you may want to consider it as a possible reason for feeling sick.

Hugs,
Christin
