Suboxone/oxy update

[Marlayna67]

After feeling poorly with joint and muscle pain, I decided to go off suboxone and back to oxy as an experiment.

Disaster!

although before suboxone, I had been easily comfy on 5 mg of oxycodone 2 to 2 times a day (albeit with breakthrough RLS in the middle of the night), this was no longer the case.

Once the sub was out of my system, RLS was back. It was so strange to feel that horrible discomfort once again. And it wasn’t just at night… I had it 24 seven which I had never had before.

I started taking 7 mg of oxy to cope and felt so dull and uncomfortable all day that this drug doesn’t appear to be an option for me anymore.

I went back to Suboxone tonight and I feel terrific. RLS gone. Nice and relaxed.

I went to the lab and bought some tests to check on why I have joint pain. ANA, sed rate etc did not show positive. Only anomaly was higher than normal blood sugar and high C reactive protein.

Not sure what’s going on with me, but hope to figure it out. Dr Buchfuhrer suggested I see a rheumatologist. We’re about to move states, so I won’t be able to for some time. he didn’t think the Suboxone would cause my symptoms, but if they return, then I can safely assume it may be related.

thanks for reading and I hope this helps somebody.

Interesting. I haven't heard anyone else mention joint and muscle pain on Buprenorphine.I do hope you find the reason for it.

maybe not related at all, but I did learn that it is working for RLS and oxy at 5 and 7 mg not so much anymore. 🤷

How much suboxone are you taking?

[Marlayna67]

very little. 1/4 of a sublingual tab.
