Strange side effects on Suboxone/Subutex?

I don't know your history with those meds.

I just thought I'd ask, my heart goes out to you it sounds like your doctor would rather write you out scripts than actually help. And I've taken every single one of those pills they all had a very weird effect on me. I really hope things are ok for you. My heart goes out to you!

And it's true, some days it would feel like I didn't even take suboxone I'd be so depressed and sick and others I'd be on top of the world. If you haven't been on it long then you should start coming back to life again after a few months. I believe this is a very common side effect its going to have that effect on your brain.

I recommend exercising. Just get outside and walk around even if its for ten minutes. I hope you have people that are close to you its good to have any kind of support, especially from people who understand. If you can afford it or have insurance get a counselor. My counselor helped me cope with my depression so much. Try to keep yourself busy and stay away from things or people that are going to bring you back down into that darkness. Just know that you won't always feel that way and it will pass eventually. Suboxone does have something in it that does help with the depression. I am down to taking 1mg of suboxone now and I feel normal again. I started out taking 4 pills of the 8mg everyday. If I take anymore than 1mg I get sick and throw up. Once you're able to start cutting down your dosage I think it really helps a lot. Emotionally and physically. But don't take that as me saying you should cut back. Do it when you're ready. I hope you have an encouraging doctor and family.

I hope this helps you in any way. I know just how you feel and it did pass for me after a few months. I have always suffered from bad anxiety and depression and I haven't felt better than I do now in years. Just be patient and make sure you have some positive reinforcement in your life whether it be a friend, counselor, parent, etc. You just have to tell yourself its all part of the battle and you've come this far which is a really amazing thing. You took control and decided to make a positive change in your life. Whenever I look back and think about this whole experience it does make me feel good, because I never knew I had that sort of strength in me. And you do too. Be proud of yourself for getting help. Do things that make you feel good. And focus on getting better and finding comfort. If you ever need anything at all I will even be your friend and tell you all my experiences!! Support, patience, exercise and positive thinking/doing. Good luck to you and remember:

nothing in life worth having comes easy. You have to work hard to get there. And you will get there.

If you've been on suboxone for a long time and you're still feeling nothing and empty tell your doctor because you should start feeling better after a couple of months. Talk it over with him/her and they will give you some advice.
