New to Suboxone, crazy day of effects, need help please

This morning when11:00am came along the most substance induced feeling I have ever felt happened and put me into a paralyzed state. Something happened where I passed out in my bed with my laptop in my lap and was frozen there with no muscle control or ability to move myself  around and it was all against my will for about 6 hours. I kept hearing my phone go off, the tv. computer sounds, etc. but nothing would fully wake me up or allow me to budge. I couldn't pull myself together to wake up.It was the strongest feeling of being drugged I have EVER experienced. Freakishly, I LOST MY EYE SIGHT.. WTF DOES THAT MEAN? I literally couldn't see the tv, the computer, anything.. I'd try to just use one eye, or the other, glasses on, glasses of, nothing mattered.. vision was extremely tunneled and as blurry as can be. Again, it was the most drugged and substance induced I have ever felt in my life and believe me I've put a sedative or two in me before as I'm sure we all have. Luckily when I was spending 10 minutes closing one eye, opening the other with hopes to see and handling my phone to use it then it rang, it was my mother. I was able to barely speak to her.. it took like 5 minutes to tell her a basic sentence. And, then I started to arise out of my funk.. I have never done g or k, but i'm sure that's what a K hole is like. She motivated me enough to go walk my dogs quickly as they needed to pee, but then it was back to passing out.. I mean, I was waking up with chips in my mouth that I hadn't chewed because I unexpectedly passed out too soon. Talk about a spontaneous pass out..

So, the dilemma!! Is this my Suboxone I just started? Is it too strong? Too weak? Am I adjusting, etc. OR, is there still opiates running through my system and this was all a result of the antagonist (naloxone or something like that) effect of Suboxone. Either way, I need to know.. that was messed up, and I feel it's about to happen again any minute right here tonight.

My main symptoms for the day were not being able to walk strait, excessive sweating, slurred speech, spontaneous pass out, tunnel vision or no vision, pain.

Basically, what scares me is that I might as well have been strapped down to my bed blindfolded.. because that is how it felt for 6 continuous hours today. Only thing that is stoppoing remission to that state is communicating with others regardless of how I'm sitting here fading in and out.

PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS.

Thank you community and friends. I'm here for you too.

Hi Read the comments to the chart and when a MD says this,

" by Jeffrey T Junig, MD PhD, Dec 25, 2008 11:34PM
No-- incorrect.  Sorry, but this is an example of the misinformation about buprenorphine that is so common in the internet.  Buprenorphine and Suboxone have a 'ceiling effect' at about 2 mg;  you cannot extrapolate in a straight line, because it does NOT have linear pharmacodynamics.  

There are real issues to discuss, but only when the facts are known.  And this post is misleading, and wrong.

I'm going to believe the doctor although I love my neighbours! They were telling me all about it when they put me on it in the hospital in august, it's very well designed.

my first guess would also be that you were given too high a dose of Sub! call your doctor..and i would advise taking WAY LESS the next time you are due for a dose

Sounds like u were overprescribed...common problem and people knod off at work...driving..are in a sub awake state but can be uncounscious again in a heart beat...most drs overprescribe..what was ur doc and dose before the sub...and how much syb r u on?  if u are a 80 mg hydro user on 16 mgs/even 12 mgs/even 8 mgs of sub it can gork u out as this narcotic is superhuman//a supernarcotic that is hard to compare to other narcotics..mostly when over rx-ed..sleepiness occurs..if unde r rx-ed..wds occurs/anxiety trmors, sweats..we know the drill

talk with ut sub dr..less is better with sub..the company sells "more is better" and why wouldnt they..that way they sell more sub..this kinda stuff makes me sick

there is a chart somewhere comparing 1 mg of sub to narcs..i do remember it is equated to be close to 15 mg of hydro..hard to equate as a different mechanism of action...1 mg of sub is equal to 10 mgs of methadone...it is nuttin to fool around with..talk to ur dr

36 hours.. longer than the 12-24 they request for a Norco addiction. I wonder if it is because I got some light exercise with my dogs in this morning and it got my blood pumping?
