I just started on Suboxone Wed for painkiller addiction. My first dose was 8mg. It made me very sick, vomiting ,light headed, hot/cold. This is my 3rd day I seem to feel better, but was the sickness normal?

it can take a couple of days until you settle in on the right dose.. once your dose is adjusted to suit you - you will feel fine.

It is also extremely important that you were honest with your doctor. If you have taken opiods too recently, when you take the suboxone, it will have adverse effect, and immediately trigger acute withdrawal. So...avoid that. Besides that, silent is right.

Hi all this is my first time to post on this group. I too am new to Suboxone, just started it last Tuesday. I got sick to my stomach and sleepy on my first day. Since then, it is a miracle to me. Yes, I too have major heart flutters and higher BP. As long as I'm not craving my usual 30 pills a day, I am happy. I am on 2 1/2 8 mg. pills per day, what about you guys do you mind to tell me your story.
My husband and my 2 boys are sure happy to have me back to my own happy NORMAL self. Thanks, Leslee | ||

I'm so glad to have found this site! I finally began my sub treatment yesterday and I'll tell you, what a day! Except for a day here and there when I ran out of pills, I hadn't been without oxycontin in my body for almost 7 years straight. I was taking anywhere from 120 to 200mgs. a day so I was scared to death of having to be in withdrawal in order to get my first dose of suboxone. When I felt the relief of the 1st dose, I was extactic. The 2nd dose made me high and I worried that maybe I shouldn't take the last dose. I'm participating in a research study in my area and when I called the nurses station that was supposed to be available to me "24/7" to talk with someone about my concerns, the nurse (or whoever she was) said, "the doctors gone for the day and I'm on my break". Oh! Well, ok then. I really didn't know what to do so I called back and talked to someone else who finally called the doc. He said this sometimes happens and encouraged me to take the last dose. I did. I was high all night and didn't sleep at all. I mean...not 10 minutes! I was told not to be surprised if I had trouble sleeping the first few nights but HOLY COW!! I laid in my bed in what I call a morphine doze and waited for morning. After the anxiety of the day before, not a minute of sleep, I had to get up and go to work today. I can't eat either, (I'd like to know if this is happening to anyone else) and it was hotter than a blister today. I'm a landscape artist so I shoveled dirt with no food in my stomach, high on suboxone, in 85% weather and I still haven't had any of my questions answered. I somehow made it to an AA meeting tonight and I'm going to bed and pray for sleep. Tomorrow, I'll take the second day's dose of suboxone and hope it's a lot better than today. My life has been hell because of my addiction to opioids so I'm grateful for the suboxone but I really wasn't prepared for my reaction to the meds and the lack of support from the clinic. All in all, the last couple of days have been a roller coaster ride and I'll be glad when I can get off for good! Those reading this post may wonder why I've chosen to write a book here. It's because this is the first time in 7 years that I've been able to talk about my addiction and what I'm going through in order to recover. I'm so grateful to have a place to do it.
