Hard to see where multiple and in-depth studies have been done to support "real" information on suboxone treatment and its effect on QT interval-seems minimal at best so i really wouldn’t worry about it. This was from 2002 and I am not sure about more recent studies but here it is and it should be a little reassuring. Your doctor can also look up what recent studies have been done on this issue with the JAMA (Journals) Most doctors get these journals and can look them up online in their databases

Now studies do exist about a drug interaction affecting QT interval/heart issues when methadone is combined with suboxone: (not that I know why anyone would do such a thing) but here is the link for that info:

Hope you are feeling better!
