HI there, hope to get some insight asap as I am freaking out because I can FEEL my heart doing irregular things... .
Quick info:
On opiates for about 5 yrs off and on, but started roxy about year ago. Built tolerance and was on about 150mgs a day...self medicating for my depression I never tool the time to treat. Decided to try suboxone as I've heard good things and have tried many,many, MANY times to taper and quite but failed.
Went to sub induction this morning, was given 4 mg strip. 2 hrs later another 4mgs and left. During the 2 hour in between had ekg was abnormal, told them my heart felt like it was fluttering and felt strange, almost like being sedated?? I am a petite 95lb woman, and have no experience with this drug whatsoever........i Left clinic feeling confused and drowsy. About an hour later my heart felt like it was either beating fast or irregularly and shortness of breath and sometimes felt like I couldn't take a deep enough breath. ..this happened a couple of times. Had 2 or 3 cravings during day, not really bad but not comfortable either, for a few min each.
It's now late in the evening and it feels like my heart is out of whack......it's such a strange feeling. And sometimes feels like when u are startled and u feel like ur heart stopped for a sec???? Please help, I'm very scared of this is normal, then this method of treatment is not for me. Please help! I go back tomorrow afternoon but I'm scared somethings wrong with me.. something major????? I'm a married,stay at home mom and really wanted help but this is terrifying. Thank you so much, E
