I laid for hours this morning after throwing up with a rag and ice cubes to my right side of my face ,hoping swelling will go down i am 18 weeks now this all came as a huge shock to me and i am so scared for myself and my baby. I am having horrible symptoms worse than withdrawls,If any one has experienced anything of the sort please respond! I truely dont know what to do i have been on this medication almost 2 years, thank you all, Savannah

You really need to contact your doctor. I dont think they are supposed to prescribe Subutex because you can actually break them down and inject. Also, like the person said above cut your dosage down. I get severe migranes too but I take lower dosage when I first started taking subs and take a tylenol with them. They should only last a week or two and you should get better.

Hey Savannah,
Ask your doctor if he/she can get you on either the Naltrexone pellet or tablets, this is the other active ingredient in Suboxone and would probably help you greatly and your baby as well ! I am not a doctor but have just recently myself had a rotten experience due to surgery and had 8 years clean with the help of suboxone. So, it is worth the asking ! Good Luck to you Hun !

Hi Savannah, my doc told me that he cannot prescribe subutex. He says they only use it for surgery. Besides the headaches do you feel different than the suboxone. Also I think 8 MG 3 times a day is too much. You can get down to 8 a day and feel fine.
