Hello all,
I have just been released from the hospital and felt the need to warn those on Suboxone about the possible health affects it could have, keep in mind I have been a very healthy 21 year old and never had any health problems before. I had gone to the doctor complaining of headaches, nausea, and other things because of the Suboxone so he ordered a blood test (the first one in 6 months of being on the drug, make sure you get regular blood tests.). My creatine kinase levels were higher then anyone had ever seen, a normal high amount is 200, mine was 188,000. Also my liver enzymes were off the charts (this was a direct result from suboxone). I was stuck in a bed for 5 days withdrawaling and they could not give me anything for it because of my liver, however it would appear the very high amount of IV fluids I was on flushed it out much faster then if I had done it at home. I was diagnosed with Rhabdomyolyis, a break down of muscle fibers causing proteins to release into the blood that can cause kidney failure if it is not washed out. It still isn't clear why my levels got so high, but the liver enzymes were 100% caused by Suboxone.
I am not the first person who has almost had their liver damaged by Suboxone and I won't be the last, it was never meant to be a long term drug. Just take care of yourselves and make sure everything is alright inside yourself, it just isn't worth it. Anyway, I felt that I had to warn everyone about this, as I know a ton of people are on Suboxone. And no, no other drugs were involved I have been clean and sober for two weeks before this, and continue to be clean till this day.
