I have been taking Suboxone for 7 days and Im going back to my Doc in the A.M. and the sub is working but the taste is killing me! I also have headaches 24-7! My Doc says that it should pass in the 1st week but everyday they get worse! When Im coming down off it it fells like Im going to throw up and dizzy as hell but Im straving! So I eat and then I throw up! So I take my next dose and Im better! Just not liking the side affects! Can anyone tell me what the differace is?? Cause if the Subutex wont do this I want to request to swicth! Please anyone give me info????????

everyone has different rxns to drugs...but as a rule the naloxone in suboxone is what causes headaches...so there is a good chance u will not get a headache from subutex

Thanks I have never shot up anything! i watched my brother do it w/ herion and OC's! NASTY! Im really trying to kick my OC and Perc addiction and the Sub's helping but I cant stand the headaches and the taste! my stomach has gottin to the point when I sublet the 8mg Sub I want to throw up gaging and everything! almost took a perc 5mg because 800mg motrin and 800mg ibeprofin didnt even touch my headaches! But im still holding on to that and it fells great to have it and not have any cravings for it! Having it also helps cause ive never held on to a perc or a oc more than the time it hits my hand its gone! Does subutex give u headaches??

suboxone has naloxone in it..and subutex does not...this makes it to where u can not shoot up suboxone due to the naloxone/which is a narcotic reversal agent used in the hospital setting for an overdose/but subutex can be used IV....course that would negate the goals of being on subutex in the first place...It is a known fact that a side effect of suboxone is a headache and that is often the naloxone that causes it...neither one tastes fantastic tho...guess subutex has less of a taste than suboxone tho...talk to ur dr bout it and good luck..be sub safe
