Missing Period And Noticed Change In Urine Color. Prescribed Suboxone. What Is The Cause?
I HAVENT HAD MY PERIOD IN ALMOST 3 MONTHS. I HAVE NOT BEEN SEXUALLY ACTIVE SINCE NOVEMBER SO I KNOW THAT I AM NOT PREGNANT. THE PAST FEW WEEKS MY URINE HAS BEEN VERY DARK YELLOW. IT HAS NEVER BEEN LIKE THIS BEFORE, USUALLY IS ALMOST CLEAR. I HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED SUBOXONE SINCE OCTOBER 2012. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT COULD BE CAUSING MY PERIOD TO BE MISSED AND WHY MY URINE IS ALL OF A SUDDEN VERY DARK? PLEASE HELP, THANKS SO MUCH!

hello,
the passage of dark urine is of the side effects of suboxone you are taking, if you have a pre existing liver disease then it will worsen it, you should get your liver function tests done to see if your liver is functioning well.
for your periods not been there for three months are you taking any other medications with the suboxone it could be that the drug might be reacting with suboxone or it could be a problem with your hormones leading you to have missing of periods
i would suggest you see a physician and gynecologist for further review and treatment
hope have answered your query
