Answer by DrCochran1
Initially almost everyone is sedated to some degree. Some people, however are stimulated and can’t sleep. Constipation and itchiness are also common. Urinary retention can also happen. You might try a half dose the first time you take it. Be sure not to drive or operate heavy machinery or be in charge of small children the first time you try it.

For Those Who Have Used Suboxone????

Question by serenity113001: For those who have used Suboxone????
I have a few questions about this medication…My bf is currently on it for his heroin use and I would like to hear from anyone who has/is been on this medication and how they dealt with it while using it and those who have been able to live life without it. Did you experience any side effects? Did you drink more caffeine? (My boyfriend asked bc he is up to 10 cups a day…though I think it is him getting back to work and the time change…) What was life like once you were off of it? Any withdrawal symptoms? Did you use again or did you have the urge? If so, how did you fight it??? Any answers would be appreciated from those who have any sort of experience with this subject as I worry considering what I have been through with my bf before he decided to finally get clean…Thanks : )
