There is no “off-label” accepted practice for Suboxone which is why it is specifically intended for addiction treatment. The other concern is for the person who gave up their strip of pills, what will they substitute for their missing med? This is not a medication to take lightly and certainly not intended to treat a headache where the treatment could mask more serious illness! Also check out buprenorphine https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4675640/ of which Suboxone is very similar in chemical makeup but buprenorphine is meant to treat chronic pain and addiction in certain formulations. Good luck and be safe.

The headache that I would be treating is not affected positively by using any OTC meds. It is a severe headache that puts me in bed that I suffer about 2X annually and is likely related to brain inflammation-a result of chronic Lyme. Buprenorphine is likely a better alternative but getting a prescription for it has not yet been possible. How would you go about getting a prescription? A pain clinic? A DO? An MD?

Yeah it's no fun and frankly the first five days I took it all my pain went away but day 6 to 11 has been nothing but side effects. At day 15 I'm done, doctor is going to work with me or I'm going to get mad. Played the guinea pig game, if I want to get high I smoke some weed.
