Hi rain, and Welcome to the forum. I hope you get some much needed answers here.
One thing that may be causing you to feel ill is not the Buprenophrine, but the Naloxone additive. It sometimes causes nausea or other nasty symptoms. The Bup in Sub seems not to have many side effects that are too bad. I get really sleepy if I’m not busy doing something. Even on small doses.
So maybe talk to your doctor about Subutex. Same drug as Sub minus the Naloxone. It comes in generic form too so it may save some money.
That’s all I can think of for now. Others may have opinions as well. I’m sorry to hear of your physical problems, it must be very difficult to adjust to the pain.
If I was you, I wouldn’t even consider getting off the Sub if you are having that much withdrawal effects. You’ve been through so much already, you don’t need more grief. Unless you really cannot stand the side effects and nothing else works, then a tapering schedule is in order. Try the Subutex first and see if that helps.
Take Care,
Tom
