Very strange. I have been on Suboxone Films for a year now and last week i asked my Doc if we could switch to the Generic Subutex. He had no problem with that at all.
I am on 12mg/day, and was on that much for the Suboxone as well. The strange thing is that i was moderately dizzy for 3 days after the switch, and had bad diarrhea. The dizziness was accompanied by light sensitivity as well. I especially noticed these symptoms at night, when i moved my eyes from side to side and could trigger dizziness (i think you guys will know that feeling?). This is now day 4 and i feel fine. My mood seems to be elevated , however, and i am liking Bupe better by itself. Anyone have a similar situation? I am curios as to what effects the Naloxone has on people and if my experience is common.
