Fact:the horrid side effects (swollen feet, legs, face and tongue (hard to eat,breathe and swallow) forced me to ask my Dr to change to Methadone to continue my withdrawal. I have  NEVER experienced such a difficult,painful and  totally misinformed withdrawal in 30 odd years as with Suboxone. NEVER AGAIN!

hey I think your on way to high dose. I was On stronger pain pills then those. And the past year on subs i was on 2mg. less is more the less subs you take the better you feel but you must taper down dont just drop down. some drs dont know what there prescribing cause they dont take the stuff. still talk to your dr about tapering down he should know about that.
