suboxone question

my hubby started his suboxone yesterday and has had a major headache since about 2 hours after he took it.  Now he is wondering if he should take todays dose or not.  He thinks it might make his headache worse.  Any one know if this is true or not.  I keep telling him to take the meds that the doc gave him as prescribed and see what happens since the doc knows better than he does but he isnt buying that reply

I had head aches at first,  but once my body got use to the suboxone they went away. I have fibromyalgia and this medicine has helped a lot with my pain and depression. Just be careful cause the suboxone gives you sweet craving so a lot of people are getting cavities from the sugar. Plus it causes constipation so you have to eat the right foods. Also I am pretty sure its making my hair fall out so I take hair and nail supplements. Its bad on your liver and really hard to get off so if possible go natural. I hope this helps.

Why is he on suboxone? I'm just curious because I've read suboxone w/d symptoms (PAWS) can last months after stopping.

they put him on the suboxone to help the withdrawal from percocet and vicidine abuse.  He should only be on it for 6 weeks. I just wondered if he will get over the headache with out stopping the meds

I didn't really get headaches bad (morphine) as long as I remembered my caffeine.
