My one sister, who started on the Sub about 3 months after Mary & I, suddenly developed these pains right after starting the Sub. Just seems to be to much of a coinsidence.

I have been on suboxone for a klittle while now and yes I to have those problems.

And it's funny that you bring this up I was going to post along these lines today.

I was told by my Dr and a couple of other people that I would have the same pain
I had when I started using the Norco.  The Dr said that it was my body crying out
for me to take my DOC.    Now the pain is not as bad as when I do not take anything.
Every time I lower my dose of suboxone the pain level increases and some new body
pains are added.  I was told that this should only last for a month or so after I stop
using or lowering my dose.  That I have to work trough the pain.

I am now just trying to do this.  The last time I used Norco was becuase the pain became
to great.  THis time I am trying to hold out.  I also suffer from Arthritis which does not help.

I do not know as of yet if I believe what I was told.

Could be side of effects from quiting the drug that you were on. Sub is not to be lived on its to get over your WD's.Now docs are giving out month after month its suppose to be a 6 week program. Thats what they tested it for 6 weeks program. My brother was on it kicking herione and he was on it for like 6 mths. He says  it was harder to kick then herion? Not sure though. Good luck with everything
