I quit suboxone on August 9. I weened myself off of it. I would take ~8mg a day. After five years of taking this, I solely decided I wanted to stop. Since I quit, I have been gaining weight rapidly. I was in hysterics today when my dr. Told me I gained 8 lbs. It may not sound like a lot but I can feel the extra lbs. on my body already. My work pants are tight n it just sucks. I feel bloated 24/7. My hips and thighs have packed on the lbs. too. I was so happy with my body before this darn weight gain. I have been sitting around but I mix in yoga and ab workouts. I ran today... two and a half miles. i am going to orce myself to run as much as i need to so i can get my body back. I eat way healthy too. I can't imagine what my weight will be like a month from now. Every blog/thread I have read says suboxone withdrawal makes you lose weight... Why the hell am I gaining weight then?
In all, I'm just wondering if this weight gain is normal & will it subside? Please tell me it's a normal reaction and next month will be better. I am so upset about all of this.
