I’m sorry you’re still feeling crappy. Remember that with suboxone’s ceiling effect, any amounts taken over that don’t add to the effect. That’s what makes it so unique. Once you hit that ceiling (right around 4 mg), you can take any amount over that and you won’t get any additional respiratory depression, and that is how people overdose on other opiates. That’s why people can’t overdose with suboxone – again, unless it’s combined with another respiratory depressant.
Have you added or stopped any other medications lately? Or like I said, it could just be a flood of emotions coming back to you after having been completely numbed for a really long time. That happens to a lot of people in early recovery and they simply don’t know what to do with those unfamiliar feelings.
I hope this passes and you feel better. Check out that meditation thread and at least try some simply breathing exercises. I’m sorry I can’t be of better assistance.
