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

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 would think if its listed as a side effect he may get over the headache his body may have to get used to it.

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

I should note that I didn't take suboxone just quit morphine c/t
