New to Buprenorphine question, interaction question

[painted.hands.]

So today I just started Buprenorphine 75mcg film (insurance won't cover patch). Curious as to lived experience how long it takes to work. I read it was the starting dose for 'opiate naive' individuals which isnt me but I'd rather start small- just curious at what point to I request an increase, IF needed
Also does anyone know the hours spacing for muscle relaxers, specifically baclofen? Had a terrible flare this morning I think due to barometric pressure (the episode started before taking the Buprenorphine, thought taking that would help but it didn't do anything).

-We don't know what this is when it happens but its unbearable. Like my body is full of electricity-

UC did nothing, as usual, said I couldn't take muscle relaxers at all if on the Buprenorphine
So I just chugged lots of NyQuil, took some Clonazepam, went and did 20 mins on the gym bike and finally could sleep, it's better now but the rain stopped. Never experienced it during day, its similar to my allergic reaction to Benadryl.

Just hoping for next time there's something I can use to support because I had baclofen for sleep, have some leftover, but also was looking o restart that so....don't know. And I prefer lived experience to doctors textbook understanding of chronically ill bodies.

Honestly I find that suboxone doesn’t do much for pain. What is 75mcg to mg? If you feel like you need an increase you should definitely let the dr know. I do find that when I am sick though with a flu or whatever that the suboxone does really take the edge off. I would try taking some Advil/tylenol along with it and maybe some natural remedies for the discomfort.

Lol today he's like ok just take two at a time.
A: gross I am not having 2 dissolving in my mouth B: you're gonna fuck me when it comes time to fill, send in the updated increased correct script.

Idk I'm trying this as a last resort can't afford daily Kratom extract i was and I've heard some good things in patch but my insurance only covers film. Next step we are looking at is ketamine but can't afford infusions so probably ingestible form
