Hi Jess,
Welcome to the forum!!
I see where you were using ten of the 10mg Lortab/day. Thanks for letting us know that. Knowing your usage, it’s my opinion that you’re on way too high a dose of Suboxone and that’s what’s causing your side effects. Suboxone is a powerful medication, it is an opiate, albeit a partial agonist, whereas Lortab, oxycodone, Roxi, Heroin are all full agonist.
Anyway, when I first got on Suboxone, I would take my second dose an hour or two before bedtime and I wouldn’t sleep either. I moved my second dose to mid afternoon and did a lot better.
I also see that you’ve only been on Suboxone for 2.5 weeks. Your doctor may be stabilizing you at a high dose to make sure you don’t have any cravings and that’s OK. But before too long, you’re gonna want to drop your dose to the lowest possible dose that addresses your cravings. As has been mentioned above, you should discuss this with your doctor.
Good luck!!
hey Rule62, you’re down to 4mg!!!! Great Job!!!
