Anyone have a sleeping problems w/ Suboxone?

I have been wakeing up every night 3-4 times and just falling back to sleep sleeping up and my wife has to wake me back up or get me to lay back done! Also getting tired mid day only on the weekends when Im not really doing that much! Taking napes? Just wondering if anyone has a hard time in the night? I do fall asleep fine its just after that! Weird dreams to, really weird dreams! Im on week 4 coming up in the program and next week is a full month till my next appointment! Kind of scared off that I like seeing my suboxone cordinator! So i got a LADC! Will this help out alot! Would love some feedback? Thanks DrewBoy7

Hi I had trouble sleeping too. I talked with my dr and he gave me some sleeping pills if I need them. Just talk with your doc. I'm msure they can help you.

Wow...that is good to know!!! Now it makes sense to me! I never understood how I can be sooooo tired when I am sitting down and watching tv and then I make myself get up and start cleaning and get a burst of energy!! I started to notice this a few weeks after I started taking it so as I said earlier...I just keep moving until Im ready to go to bed. Thanks for the info/

This is going to sound funny but.....suboxone is motion activated. lol  Myself and my 2 sisters are on sub and the same thing happens to us. If we sit down, we nod off. I hate this and can't wait to be off this stuff.  

How many times a day are you taking the sub ?  If it's taken too late in the day it can affect your sleep.

When I was on maintenance subs last year I had trouble sleeping too! You are not alone. The only dreams I could recall were drug dreams.
