I took suboxone last night and it had me feeling pretty fuckin heavy, and today I woke up with the worst headache on earth and it will not go away? Is it connected to the suboxone somehow?
 
Did you pass out? What do you mean by 'feeling heavy'?
 
Liike I was nodding I could barely keep my eyes open. There was a lot of drama going on via texting and such so I don't remember specifically falling asleep and now my stomach hurts and shit and I can't even move. My head hurt even when I'm not moving.
 
Is there a reason why you suggest that? Like why is this happening? I took two 500mg nabumetone tabs and that did nothing so I took a 500mg tylenol and its finally seeming to go away some...but wtf? Shit hurts so bad
 
400mg Ibuprofen and 1g Acetaminophen/Paracetamol help for headaches while on opiates.

*edit* - ok I see you have taken a similar anti-inflammatory, so take another 500mg Tylenol and the headache should ease off a little.

I've experienced headaches on opiates before and nine times out of ten it has something to do with some kind of stress that I was going through.
I don't think the subuxone caused the headache, but as you have said "There was a lot of drama going on", so I would guess that the tension of that had something to do with it, or a number of other non-medical factors (eg. lack of sleep, diet etc).
 
Oh god yes...before that I had been on a cccs binge for about five days and smoking salvia about four or five times within two nights I had stayed up for a period of time of well over 50 hours... then had a bunch of family drama boyfriend drama friend drama. Psychotic bitch drama whoinfluenced me into that whole insane binge. And so I just took about a mg of sub to relax with my bf but was up util 130 crying and being harassed basically....
Just took another tylenol like suggested. Hoping it'll help more.
 
Lol alright. Its just happened from opiates/opiods its seems and I think I've read it might have been from like a an acute over dose, so I was just trying to make sure to be safe. But thanks :)
 
I had been on a cccs binge for about five days...

I hope you don't mean Coricidin Cough and Cold with that...

Use of Coricidin for this purpose is dangerous due to the fact they contain chlorpheniramine in addition to dextromethorphan. Chlorpheniramine is an anticholinergic that can cause very serious reactions in high doses. [...]Fatalities have resulted from overdoses of chlorpheniramine

Bottom Line: Don't take Triple C's to get high!

Headaches are a more or less common side effect of opioids but in your case it could've been all the other stuff including sleep deprivation and psychological stress.
 
I've gotten headaches from doing too many opiates. Slight OD is possible? Not a serious one just overdose in the sense that you took too much. Considering bupe is particularly strong this is entirely possible. I remember when I'd take a day or two break and go back and rail several opanas/oxys/subs I would get a HORRIBLE headache along with the nausea, i'd puke and it would disappear almost entirely.

Furthermore, the naloxone in suboxone has been known to give people headaches. When I first started my treatment it gave me some bitchin headaches.

Finally a lot of opiate users do not drink adequate amounts of water. When I started drinking enough water each day (1.5-2gal) my headaches have basically vanished, even with the naloxone in my suboxone i have not had 1 headache from my subs since I started taking care of myself better.

Probably a combination of these facators (dehydration, naloxone, and too much of said opiate).
 
Oh yeah i meant coricidin...its basically what I've always used when using dxm..except delsym. And the gels. But I know they are dangerous and I for some reason have a huge hunch that they. Have something to do with my current very serious health conditions such as lupus, possible damage to kidneys given my urinalysis, just saw a neurologist who said I have adies pupils, and I will be going for a sleep study this Friday to find out more info regarding if I'm having seizures in my sleep and why I have a constant tremor and why I have random jerks and twitches and the likes. Still need to get an echocardiogram done as well....and for some reason I feel like it all may be link to coricidin abuse/dxm especially cuz I use to abuse delsym at 41mgs/kg when I was 16-17 very regularly.
But who knows.
Sorry completely off topic there, but if anyone has input on that please feel free to give me some insight.
 
^Wow, that's almost 3500mg of Delsym for me... even though it is pure DXM and it is time released (polistirex), so only half is released at once, the other half 6 hours later.

The Coricidins, though, c'mon stop that nonsense, you're smarter than that. :) Just buy generic "cough gels," look for the listed active ingredients and look for only 15mg DXM HBr per 1 cough gel, NO phenylephrine, NO guafeneisin, NO chlorpheneramine (CPH). The CPH in CCC's damages your body something good when abused, so be careful with that, and never combine it with DXM, as they are both NE reuptake inhibitors! These, along with the tramadol and the cymbalta, and there's no surprise you might be getting seizures in your sleep.

DITCH THE CCC'S TODAY!!! Cough gels, DXM only syrup, or Delsym ONLY
 
I usually don't take the cymbalta when taking cccs or any dxm for that matter. And I haven't had tramadol in over a week now. I really hate cccs and idk why I tend to do them every now and again. Theyve only caused me troubles. It's so stupid. And recently the main reason is because I'll be in such bad pain I get desperate enough to attempt to numb it with dxm and that usually doesn't work. My tolerance is still very high even of I don't do it for months at a time.
But do you happen to know of dxm having any connection to auto immune diseases? Or anything I listed for that matter? Lol the seizure thing may have been a long term thing as I've been known since the age of 12 to have screaming fits in my sleep. But I haven't had anyone sleep with me regularly until this last year (boyfriend) who noticed my strange episodes and such things I do.
 
I get headaches from clenching my jaw closed tight all throughout the night. My dentist actually discovered this back in 2008. Life stress is a major factor of this sleep disorder... its a disorder called bruxism. Amphetamines can also cause you to clench your jaw hard, I'm sure everyone who has done E is very familiar with this.

Bottom line is that the more you clench your jaw, the more you are at risk of a brutal migraine... you might not realize that you're doing this, since it happens in your sleep... look into it... I have to wear a cap over my front teeth before bed to reduce the pressure on my jaw... I thought my dentist was full of shit when he told me, but I tried it anyways and I definitely know its true. It also doesn't help that I've been doing kratom for about a year, and it dehydrates you naturally... so if I don't drink enough water before bed, with a kratom dose, I have a nasty hangover from it.

Drugs (like uppers) could certainly cause you to tire out your neck and jaw muscles from over clenching... if you tire them out, you can get nasty brutal migraines... It comes from stress, people's bullshit can totally will cause you to get a fuckin headache, which is pretty obvious, lol. But I am explaining the reason.

It could be a combination of dehydration and stress that causes the worst headache ever.
