Headache on subutex

[Requiem4adream]

What can I take for it?
Am I on too much/too little?- the rest of me is 93% ok
How long will it last? I'm on subs day 1

Could it be that this time instead of popping a 8mg tab in one, I gradually crept up to 8mg as the famous Robert 32whatsit suggests? Could all the time you are inducting slowly, titrating upwards, the receptor sites are a battle ground and we are left with the scars : pain?

Headaches can be a side effect when taking buprenorphine. Make sure you're drinking enough water too because it can be dehydrating. Hopefully, it will pass as you get used to the medication but if you need to, it's safe to take an over-the-counter pain reliever. How are you feeling now?

Headache was a bit better today but not good still.

I guess no one else stated this yet, but if they're the kind you put under your tounge to dissolve, just keep it under your tounge for like 20 minutes or so and spit out whatever accumulates in your mouth. I found whenever I did the strips I would get a headache but if I spit it out and just let it absorb under the tounge it was drastically reduced. Something about the naloxone not being fully absorbed.

There's no naloxone in subutex

Ah my apologies, I was confusing it with suboxone I guess.
