Suboxone Question Another One

[FinallyFreeNCali]

Also does anyone on sub experince this...

Everytime I wake up except in the morning I wake up freezing!! It takes me 5 mins to warm back up!!

Whats up with that???

[Helpmehelpyou980]

Yes I do, I’m not sure why that happens, but it used to happen wen I took Oxy too. A mild symptom for something that has saved my life. Good luck

LOL! I was wanting to ask the same embarrassing question too because it's happening to me as well. I haven't found anything for it yet, but I'm considering going to Walgreen's and getting a suppository or SOMETHING! ARGGHHHH!!!

De my reply above. Hope it helps

I have been on Subutex for 7 or 8 days now and at first I woke up sweating...I still wake up sweating, but not as much. I also got really bad headaches too. But those are gone now (thank goodness). The weird thing for me is that I take 4mg in the morning and I am fine...but the second dose in the evening is what does me in - you know nausea, and very very tired. It is weird to go from dose one = wired, like I have drank too much coffee and then dose 2= a sleeping pill.

thanks for the info on gatorade and fluids...I have only been able to stomach gingerale lately.
and I have another embarassing question to ask - is anyone else constipated? What can I do to you know, get back to normal? As long as I stay on Subutex will this go on? So far I have just been trying to eat yogurt and veggies, but nothing is really helping. I see my doc on thursday, i will ask him...if I have the guts to (I don't know why I am so embarassed about this.
thanks.

I was but I drink prune juice now and eat papaya every day. I take a stool softener as well and I’m pretty much good. Occasionally if it’s worse I take a dose of mirilax. Hope it helps. There are answers for most of these side effects. You will figure out what works for you.

Yeah my sub Dr doesn't think I need it. I was on cymbalta and celexa never helped.. But I am fine without it..

I will ask my dr on friday and let eveyone know what he thinks

[wait2long]

i WAS on cymbalta...but i stopped taking it about a month ago...i wasnt getting any releif from my depression so why continue with it, right?

let me know what your doctor says about this...ok?

Try chewing gum for the nausea, it helps with me. But I found orbit mint works wonders. As for headaches, When I would get them, only in the morning when I woke up. I would take my sub, wait for 10 mins and then take a excendrin migraine with a pepsi, 15 mins later all is better.

Also my Sub Dr told me to stay hydrated, it will help with the dizzyness. Drink at least 1 gatorade or such like a day and always take sips of something threw out the day. I carry a bottle of water everywhere I go, When I get sickof plain water I add those crystal lites things to it.

Try that and let me know...

The first 5 days of being on it, I got the headaches.  They went away, and were replaced by nausea and dizzyness.  Anyone know when or if these side effects subside?  Today is exactly two weeks that I've been on the Sub, and I've tried cutting down my dose a little because I just can't take the nausea while at work.

[FinallyFreeNCali]

I use to get headaches all the time now they are gone.. thank heavens. But still cold to the bone when I wake up.. But I also found out something. I was taking my anti dep. celexa and I didn't take it yesterday and after I woke up no chills.

WAIT2LONG do you take anti dep?

I go back to my doc this friday and I am going to ask him too.. haha
It crazy but I also say its well worth it.

[wait2long]

YES!!!  i get this everytime i wake up...whether its from a nap. or first thing in the morning, i wake up FREEZING, cold to the bones, teeth chattering and goosebumps...the whole shabang...i have NO IDEA why?  but i will ask my sub doctor about this now that i know i'm not alone...let me know if you come up with anything please...

[notmenow!]

When did you start the sub, I went through some hot flashes that's all. I really have had not other problems. I transitioned to suboxone 8 months ago after back surgery. Are you past the headache phase. I think when the buprenorphine pushes the opiates off the mu receptors the body has to go through a detoxifying period. You know how it was with out sub the body reacting by dumping the toxins mostly into the toilet. I dont know but now that I think about all the post I have read about people on sub it seems mostly females with these kinds of complaints, I not sure but maybe it is a hormonal thing. you could call the sub help line at 1-877-782-6966 from 8-8pmEST---------NOAH

[wickedwanderer]

it's probably just your body adjusting to being off one thing and starting another.

i have hot/cold flashes no matter what i'm on :P

[FinallyFreeNCali]

I have that too.. Sweating when folding laundry or shopping, people must think I am nuts... lol

Was at target today, being cold out and I took my jacket off cause I was hot and sweating.. My skin is oily too..blah

[FLaddict]

I don't think this is Sub related.. I know for me while I was on it in June for 10 days I was hot and sweating most of the time. It made me have horrible night sweats..
