Suboxone & Small Pupils

Has anyone else experience small pupils on suboxone.  I lowered my dose because I was nodding off on the dose the doctor had me on.  I am not nodding at all anymore, but since they day I started taking sub I noticed my pupils were small.  Not pinpricks but a lot smaller then normal and they don't really seem to react to light from what I can tell.  Is this normal on sub?

Thanks,

Actually 1 more question.  If I do discontinue use after trying those doses.  It will be 2 weeks this coming thursday that I have been on sub.  Will I have withdrawal and if so will it be awful for only being on it 2 weeks?

Thanks, I am going to call my doc on monday.  I went in on Thursday and complained of nodding and she doubled my dose to 4mg 3xs a day.  I almost feel like my dr is OD'ing me on sub.  So i reduced it again, since it made me feel worse.  I am trying 2mg 3xs a day for 3 days until the half life catches up.  If that still seems to strong I am going to drop to 1mg 3xs a day and see how that works.  I am beginning to think this drug is way to strong for me.  If the 1mg doses do not work I am going to discontinue use all together.

Thanks again :)

ur dose may still be too high//nodding off is a s/s of a dose too high...it should make u feel wd free///no buzzed...pupil changes are associated with changes in the brain//a physiological thing....can u talk to ur sub dr bout this?
Not sure of ur original doc///please  do not let sub become ur new doc//but if it was a weaker drug at 200 mgs of less///like hydro or percs etc///sub being way stronger than oxy or hydro....2 - 4 mgs is usually way more than enuf to cover it...be safe
