Hi Janet,
No need to worry, you are doing great. I was on suboxone for nearly 4 years and it saved my life. I felt great on suboxone from the first hour. To answer your question, suboxone is an opiate, so it will constrict your pupils, this is completely normal.
It appears that you are taking more than just one dose per day, I would asume 8mg in the morning and 8mg in the evening. You may want to talk with your doctor about this. Suboxone has a very long half life (37.5 hours) and it is designed to dose only once every 24 hours. I fail to understand why docs prescribe multiple doses per day. I never took more than one dose per day and never had any kind of problems. Taking only one dose per day helps with the obsession for taking that next dose - just once in the morning and you are good to go. It really helps with the drug seeking behavior - no more counting the pills to make sure you have enough to last until your next refill.
I also agree with the comment from Colleen - you are in need of some good sleep. Don't worry about the suboxone adjusting, the lunesta will not hurt you and if your sub doctor prescribed it, you should be good to go. If you feel you need it, definitely take one tonight, it should help you get a full night's sleep and you will definitely feel better in the morning. Keep moving forward and keep posting, I would love to hear how you are progressing. Feel free to message me if you have any direct questions, I am happy to share anything about my experience with sub. Have a great holiday weekend!
Hi Janet
I'm on methadone, I think You just need a really good night rest, because I have researched on alot about withdrawl's and such, And sleep is so important, people don't realize that we need our 8 hr a night rest, I believe this plus I read about it, Anyway's if you can catch a nap "Wishful Thinking" =) But if you can take it, And please keep me updated if you don't mind, Yea give yourself the rest your Body really need's because also if yr not well rested niegther is yr brain, think about that,so REST! ,Ok Get back to me my friend. Sincerely Colleen.
i was on sub for a 7 day taper, and oh yeah it helped cause i was in full wd. But i did a quick taper and felt bad for about 3 days. Not near the bad from cold turkey though. Just be careful, bc that stuff is addicting too. Before you get on it too long, id ask to go ahead and start tapering now. The longer u wait the harder it will be imo. As far as the pupils, i have no idea. I never looked at mine.
