I’ve been poking around and haven’t seen anything really pertaining to my particular situation so here it goes. I’ve been on my stable dose (16mg/qd sub-lingual strips) for 3 months so far, and I’ve been doing great; this is the first and only time I intend to be on suboxone. I’m never going back. WELLL… I’ve been waking up around 9AM for the past five days with an extreme sickness, by which I mean nausea and vomiting, random roaming pain, and the sweating associated with puking your brains out on an empty stomach, basically "withdrawl lite"; and it lasts seemingly random lengths of time. The symptoms last anywhere between 2-14 hours, and have been random at best over the last five days, with one day lasting 2 hours and the next 8 and the next 4. I’ve tried everything I can think of short of changing my dosing schedule. If I take my suboxone it feels like it gets worse before it gets better (the taste doesn’t help). I’ve tried coffee, tums, regular food, crackers and gingerale, even marijuana. Nothing seems to cure it except time and the sleep between vomiting. Is this tolerance? Is it withdrawls between doses? Should I take one 8mg strip in the morning and one 8mg strip at night? Any ideas?
