Where is my APPETITE on Subutex???

Where in the heck is my hunger? Ive been on Subutex for 11 days, and Ive lost 5 pounds!!! I just cant eat! Im NOT hungry at all! I eat once a day, and thats a little amount. I live off Dr Pepper and smokes! When I do eat, its barely anything!! Why is this? Is this from the Subutex? Im wondering, ya...its blockin the receptors to my brain, but maybe blocking the part that tells me "Your hungry girl...eat something"! ya know?? Did anyone feel that way...just didnt want to eat cuz nothing looked good, or just werent hungry ever???

I'm not that hungry either but it sure won't hurt me to lose some weight so i sure am not worried about it..been on sub for just 2 days now.

I guess everyone is different. I might have lost my appetite the first week, but it came back.  Actually I'm trying to lose weight and having hard time (not because of sub, I just like food).  Try drinking some Boost, at least you will get the vitamins you need.  Are you feeling normal otherwise ?

I'm eating ok, I've been on suboxone for 15 days this past week though  I've been getting stomach pain. If i force myself to burp it up it goes away. so I think it a gas problem. I'm not constipated or anything. Just wish I wouldnt get this stomach ache. otherwise i feel fine. And eating well. Watermelon helps with the gas. any other ideas?

Heyyyy!! =]]

Sorry it took me so long to get back to ya!

Well, still no appetite! I have nooo idea why!! I dont crave pills at all, but food either!! Im tellin ya, maybe it blocks the cravings for food too!! Na, just kidding...but I really dont know whats up. I eat like once a day...thats it. Like today, its 2pm, still nothing to eat...not even wanting anything. Yesterday, I had some King Crab Legs, which is really not much food, and a little Whopper Jr....then the day before that, all I ate was a few bites of a Subway 6 inch sandwich, and so on...
I have no idea why Im just "not hungry"!! Maybe its something that will pass....
Im thinkin I need to go get some vitamins though...cuz if I stand up to fast I get dizzy, and yesterday I had ringing in my ears.

Other then those side effects **maybe side effects**...I still feel great! I know some of you hate the "word" Subutex...but it really has given me a 2nd chance at life again...and things are going good. I am now taking one 2mg pill in the am...and thats it. In 5 more days, I go down to a half in the am for like 5-10 days...then little pices till I am down to none!! I dont want to trade one pill for another...and Im not going too. The main reason I got on this medicine is because I couldnt do it on my own. Im 14 days CLEAN off Norco, and its crazy...cuz I know I have 120 of them to pick up today...filled and all!! BUT, Im not getting them! Never thought I would be able to say that!!!

Hope everyone is happy, and doing thier best too. This is a huge struggle in so many of our lives, and I just wish everyone to stay strong...and no matter what way we get off these things...as long as we do, thats all that matters!! Take care everyone!!

I have also lost weight. I've lost about 10 pds so far. I have changed my eating habits. I eat alot healthier now and I don't eat near as much as I used. It's a good trade off as far as i'm concerned.

Narcotics do block cravings for food and that is why so many drug users are malnourished...many gain weight when they quit taking narcotics...i guess the sub narcotic component ihas alot to do with that

I agree with worried. I too have lost some weight since on the subs. No complaining from  me though! Swimming suit season just around the corner. LOL I needed to loose a few. Plus I have been walking for 1/2 hr. everyday,  because that helps with  depression and emotional issues as well. Releases the endorphins. My best of luck to you.
