SIDE EFFECTS of SUBOXONE

SIDE EFFECTS of SUBOXONE

SUBOXONE--- HAS anyone that has been on Suboxone ever had the side effect of uncontrollable ITCHING? Scratch till your raw? Or any other side effects that make life more difficult? I was on Suboxone for two years, off for 3 months with opiates, and now on again for a month.
The itching started small after a few weeks on Sub But now I scratch everywhere there is hair and just below my knees , my back arms, and high on my butt. Don't know for sure if the drug is the cause or maybe it would have happened anyway as these skin problems can attack anyone. I itch until the skin breaks and stings. Scabs form. My prescribing  Psychiatrist changed me over to Subutex to see if it may be the naloxone and his second guess is Psoriasis.

it appears you are having a reaction to the Suboxone. The only difference between Suboxone and Subutex is that Suboxne has an added ingrediant (something like Naltroxin) to keep IV drug users from getting high on it. I'd be surprised if that is causing the itching. As long as the presribing Doc is aware then follow thier advice.
