Suboxone,Subitex,pain meds

I was recently put on suboxone strips and having bad side effects with them! I have been on suboxone pills before and they helped, no side effects! I read that the films are 30% stronger?could that be a reason? Also, I got scared/tired of the side effects and got my percocet prescription filled and now worried that I might get in trouble? But I have also read that a person can get suboxones filled and their pain meds filled, is this true? And what about being being put on subitex, could it be the naxolone giving me the bad side effects? Thank you for your time!

DO NOT MIX suboxone with Percocet!  If you take the sub first the percs won't have any effect.  But if you take the percs then sub you will go into withdrawal immediately.

I started on the pills and moved to the film with no problem.  Suboxone is buprenorphine and nalaxone, whether in pill or strip form.  So if you've been taking the pill form of sub the strip is no different.  If you are allergic to nalaxone get with your doctor and maybe subutex is a better option for you.

What side effects are you having?
