4th week on Suboxone...

I started my 4th week of Suboxone and I also started a tapering off schedule!  THANK YOU AMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I noticed 2 new things though.....

1.  i keep having "body spasms" when falling asleep mainly, but I sometimes get them while I am sleeping and it wakes me up.  Almost seizure like.  Any suggestions?

2.  Also, I think Suboxone messes with hormones (not sure)  but my sex drive is like non-existent!!!!  I am usually like a bunny...as soon as my boyfriend comes through the door its like HI HONEY...LOL!  Did anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for all your kind words, thoughts and prayers!!!!  I would be so lost without this community!!!!

I started tapering on Tuesday.  I am still on 8mg.  I had a wonderful lady from here help me with a tapering off schedule... her screen name is wait2long!  She has been absolutely amazing and such a terrific support person!  Any questions about Suboxone or tapering, I would ask her.  Other than a few things, I would have say that Suboxone has been a LIFE SAVER!  I have only a few minor things with it, but it has worked great!!!!  I wish your son great luck and please keep me updated on his progress!!!
