Hi there everyone....
I have been taking suboxone for almost 10 months. I started at 16mg per day and now I am at 8mg per day and been on that dosage for about 5 months(slow taper from 16 to 8 and now maintainence on 8mg/day).......
A very odd thing has suddenly started occuring......
I have NEVER had side effects from suboxone except some constipation, no matter the dose...Not when I started and not until 3 weeks ago......
All of the sudden one day I was trying to score some pills (first time ever even attempting to relapse) and I couldn't find any so I just put 1 suboxone under my tounge, I usually I take about 1 TOTAL per day in about 3 doses per day.....
I had no side affects that night, but the next day I had a horrific migraine and also could not hold any food/water/beverage down(puking my brains out),this is my first ever experience of this nature, I hardly EVER, very very rarely get headaches, and only when I have a good reason, such as fever or flu....But I Do Not have any fever/flu/cold/etc.. I am completely normal and symptom free besides the headaches, no other side effects at the time...
Since that day it seems I am having bad headaches / migraines about 6 hours after I take my normal dosage of suboxone...
It seems that the more I take the worse the headaches, I have narrowed down my headaches to only be attributed to dosing with suboxone...
Does any one have any experience with ALL OF THE SUDDEN bad headaches when they are far into their treatment?
Why would I get headaches now? I have NO withdrawal symptoms, so I do not believe it is withdrawal, but I still need to take the suboxone because I am addicted to it....It boggles my mind...
Anyone have any ideas why I would just start getting headaches?
Only thing I can think of is that I am now taking too much...but I have not tapered or lowered my dosage in about 4-5 months......
I honestly feels like my doctor gave me secret fake suboxone pills with headache producing effects to see if I complained so he could tell if I was really taking my medicine, instead of possibly selling it!!! CRAZY RIGHT!! I don't really think that, but it honestly seems that way since this is so sudden and unprecedented...
Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated...THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
