Suboxone side effects

No. I have only experienced one patient c/o SOB.

Have you been on it long and when you started it where you in at least moderate withdrawals also what dose are you on as far as the sweats go you may be on to little or to Strong of a dose.There is a web site where you can go and they can answer all your questions. i am not allowed to mention the link last time they removed it from my post. but if you put in NaABT you will find it has a link for frequently asked questions and a support forum on it. Good Luck.

No its not me.......a patient with skin issues and the sweating that we can not attribute to other causes..but I will check that site out tx so much

I usually use Medline plus as my patient education website resource...

That seems like a great website with all kinds of health information. the website i mentioned has a forum where others post there own experience, I know I got allot of information and support. It is like a on line NA meeting.They also have a on line eve chat and are starting a Wednesday morning chat. It is of course free and confidential(I sound like I am doing a commercial) I cant help it though I have been going to that website since 2007 and it really helps.I would suggest it to your patients. It also has a place where you can post your story or I guess it is a journal where you can go back any day and post how you are feeling. you can also read others which is where I really realized I am not alone.Do you have many patients on suboxone?

Just one patient and I did not know a lot about it...so that is why I started here//most of my nursing experience is in infusion and home care

My sister is taking it and she gets severe anxiety and sweats when the dosage runs out. As she has tapered off of it much less so.

does anyone know if they use it for chronic pain patients. My pain specialist said she did not

think I was a candidate for it, since I'm chronic pain, but I wonder if it would be better than taking other narcs for life?

most of our pt. are prescribed, lyrica, diclofenac, or gabapentin for pain

one of my pt said that its almost the same with heroine and other narcs w/d but its worse

i work in a free standing detoxification unit that specializes in a 3 to 5 day detoxification of clients that are withdrawing from opiates and/or alcohol. we have had patients react to suboxone only if the first dose is given too soon and the patient is not experiencing moderate withdrawal( from heroin or other opiates). we prevent this by using the clinical opiate withdrawal scale (cows) and the client must score a 13 on the scale before the first dose is given. i think that sometimes the client is anticipating the withdrawal and will try to exaggerate the signs and symptoms but if the nurse uses the scale carefully this won't happen. other than this type of reaction our clients have no adverse or untoward effects and generally fell better right away. hope this helps .
