Suboxone's side effects

[halperinchen]

Hi, I have been taking Suboxone for almost two and half months now without too much undesirable effects, but lately all of a sudden my blood pressure goes up to 170 systole after I take Suboxone and I also experience heart palpitation. My blood pressure usually ranges from 110 systole so I am not sure if this has happened since I started Suboxone or it just happens now. I'd like to know if any of you who are taking Suboxone or other related products has the same side effects. Thanks in advance.

Buprenorphine caused increased heart rate for me initially. It has now settled, but I still notice it occasionally.I've had ECG and 24 hour halter test and the hospital say there's nothing to be concerned about.

I have a blood pressure monitor but rarely use it.

If you're concerned about your blood pressure take readings at the same time every day and ask your doctor to check it's all ok. You can also ask for an ECG and 24 hour test to ensure your heart is alright.
