Newbie to sober life...suboxone not helping
Hello to all. So nice to see so many people helping one another out. Anyways...I'm hoping that someone/anyone could please give me some information as to why I am still completely miserable after taking suboxone for 2 weeks? I am on 16 mgs a day (the sublingual pill). I am nauseous off and on all the time, have horrible headaches every day, extremely tired to the point I am like a walking zombie. I can't continue to go through this every day. I have 5 children and a fiancé who need and depend on me. Please help me...even if it's encouraging words. It's very much appreciated.

Hi and Welcome,
It sounds like it's time to talk to your dr about the issues you are having with the drug. I hope that you can get some answers. I'm glad you've decided to live a sober life.

Tomorrow I'll be 14 days clean. I finally get to see my doctor again but I'm afraid that he'll tell me to give it another 2 weeks. I don't want to go to methadone but I have a feeling that will be pushed on me. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

My personal experience with suboxone is that I was feeling better by the 5th day when the dosage was right. Have you felt this same way since you started the suboxone? The difference for me from the first couple days and the 5th day on would be night and day.
