Been Off Suboxone In Tapering Doses, Still Suffering Flu Symptoms, Pain In Legs, Lethargy. What To Do ?
I have been off Suboxone for nearly two weeks; I tapered down to a very minute amount before going off completely hoping it would not be as bad. However, although I am not as miserable as I was in the first five days, I still am suffering with cold/flu symptoms; which I can handle, but the pain in my legs and extreme lethargy are beyond anything I imagined. How soon will I start feeling human again?

hi,
feeling cold/flue symptoms are common side effects of suboxone. if you have severe feeling of breathlessness kindly inform your doctor immediately so that drug can be stopped. it will take some time to get adjusted to these side effects.
wishing you good health
