I hear ya. Been incredibly tired since my dose got bumped up to 12mg.
Interesting thing was, for the first week or two I felt mildly stoned from the dose increase (8->12mg). It was after I stabilised and those feelings went away that the side effects kicked in. Most notable ones have been sleepiness (can sleep for ages!), loss of libido (might as well be a eunuch – this isn’t doing my relationship any favours) & depression.
At first the subox made me feel really energised and slightly euphoric – almost anti-depressant like. Now I feel more depressed than on 8mg. Weird that.
Anyway, reducing dosage can alleviate these issues a lot.
Anyway. Beats methadone. Beats using. But would rather be 2 years off opiates altogether ![]()
