I guess I am lucky, cause I honestly can’t recall any negative side effects from Suboxone. I have been on them for 3 and a half years.
And, I have had those kind of weird dream things my entire life, off and on. Thank goodness it has been a while since I have had one. I describe them a bit differently though. Please tell me if you any of you think it’s the same thing.
I know I am awake, but I cannot open my eyes, I cannot speak, I cannot move. You are just laying there, and you literally feel that you could die right then and there and it is actually quite frightening. You feel that if someone would just yell in your ear it would wake you up. FOr instance, when it happens if I am lying next to someone, I try so hard to speak and say, "SHAKE ME", and sometimes I feel that I am saying it, although they tell me that I am in fact not.
From the research I have done, it is called a "waking dream." Your body is waking up, and your mind is aware, but your body functions have not yet returned. Like I said, this has happened to me ever since I was a young teenager, and I am 26 now. One thing to note, it has happened to me the MOST when I take NAPS during the day. It doesn’t not happen as often when I go to sleep for good at night.
Is this the same thing others are talking about? I really hope there are no long-term side effects from Suboxone. Sometimes, SOMETIMES, i feel as though my memory might not be top notch, but I think that is just from my past drug use, and it really is nothing serious. I get straight As in school so it must not be too horribly bad.
