Can subutex damage your thyroid and or adrenal gland and if so how?

Background story:
Was on methadone for over a year for oxy abuse. Decided to get clean and switched over suboxone. Had horrible headaches the first week on suboxone. The doctor said some people have bad reaction to naloxone. I switched over to subutex. Was fine, lowering my dosage 2mg every 2 weeks. When I got to 4 mg we switched to 1 mg per month. When I got to 3 mg of subutex I had some real bad health issues. I lost 1.5lbs to 2 lbs a day. Currently, I lost a total of 20 lbs. I have stabalized my weight by really pigging out. Also, at the time i was not exercising.

I read some where on the web where subutex can damage the thyroid and adrenal gland. It's supposed to lower your metabolism and make you tired. (Thats what i read). Could my body be having some kind of rebound effect? In addition, my blood pressure was really high (150/100) for a couple days at the begining 3mg of subutex a day.

I am taking 300 mg of lyrica and 1mg of kolonpin (i have legit scripts) I have bad case of Fibromyalgia.

Any thoughts on the rapid weight loss or high pressure when I reached 3mg of subutex would be appreciated.
