I was prescribed Suboxone for pain, which was the mistake of a lifetime! My PA told me she has prescribed it for several patients with no adverse effects - l have a fairly high tolerance to pain meds, but although it helped the pain it also knocked me on my kiester! Does anyone have any thoughts on that?

Yes, I had a similar experience. It takes a lot of buprenorphine to treat pain. Then you get all the side effects of high dose buprenorphine. The doctors say it's safer. I couldn't do it, so I asked for my old plan meds back. Luckily, they restored my previous medication. After fighting with Walgreens for a couple of days, I was back on my old medication.

But they won't increase the opioid dose because I have reached the max for my Pain clinic, so the Oxy don't work so good any more. It's a catch-22.
