Hey joseph,

I would like to extend my thanks to you for your service to our country as well. Thank you Sir.

After reading your last post, the only thing that popped into my head was that you may have some kind of allergy to opiates. Allergies to opiates are quite uncommon, but not unheard of. You might question my belief that you have allergies because you took Suboxone sucessfully for 2 years, but I know allergies sometimes come and go. My wife became allergic to peanuts after the birth of our daughter, prior to that, she was a peanut butter eating fool.

I just did a quick google search for "opiate allergy" and it turns out the allergy response can sometimes be controlled with an anti-histamine…..these few were listed….Phenergan, Vistaril, or Benadryl. You may ask your doctor about trying some Benadryl with your dose and see if that helps at all??

I’m really grasping at straws here with the allergy thing, but after reading your last post, I wanted to at least try and help in some way.

Oh Yeah, if you’re taking other medications they might be interacting with the opiates?? A quick google search may help you to figure out if there are any interactions going on.

I know this sucks, but sometimes we have to do our own homework when all the doctors can come up with is a great big DUH?? Search the internet, dig deep and don’t give up.

Good luck, man.
