Naloxone - the opiate antagonist in Suboxone - is known to cause headaches. You could ask your doctor to switch you to Subutex - buprenorphine only - if the headaches are that bad. It's quite common for doctors to switch patients because of these headaches.
Did you get these headaches before taking the Suboxone?
Good point. I got bad headaches while on suboxone and asked my doc to swithc me to subutex (which he did). The headaches went away as soon as I switch so its safe to say the naloxone was to blame.
Also, because subutex has gone generic (and suboxone has not), subutex has become much cheaper which is another great reason to get your doc to switch you.-DG
