Brief Answer:
Suboxone adverse effect for sure.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Nausea, constipation and edema feet are all very notorious adverse effects of suboxone and should be considered for dose adjustment. i don't recommend suboxone for more than 8 mg in a day as these adverse effects kick in. Dose adjustment is very tricky in suboxone and varies in every patient. Also its use duration should be kept to minimum till the dependance and withdrawal symptoms of opioids are left.
Talk to your doctor and let them either change the medication or reduce the dose to the minimum possible levels.
i hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Thank you----I do not take suboxone for any addiction problem. I didn't want to take narcotics for my back pain. I have had 2 major back surgerys and 4 titanium rods in my back.I was told the suboxone was a better choice. I really want to get off this drug but I also don't want to go to any treatment houses.
Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you XXXX

Brief Answer:
No suboxone. Prefer NSAIDs, corticosteroids may also be considered

Thank you for getting back to me XXXX!
With no dependence or addiction problem and drug of choice for analgesia and pain relief, suboxone is the least and last resort. I would suggest to shift to NSAIDs like piroxicam , muscle relaxants like tizanidine and baclofen etc. Talk to a pain management specialist and let them find a safest alternative of suboxone for you.
Nutshell, say no to suboxone. A lot of adverse effects and minimal therapeutic window and less effect on pain.
i hope it helps.
