suboxone

I've been trying to start suboxone. I wait until I'm sick from withdrawl and take the suboxone and it ends up making me even more sick. To counter that sickness I use. Instead of using, should I take more suboxone...or will that continue to make more sick? I'm desperate here. I just can't figure this out. Please help!!

What are you trying to detox from? Some longer acting meds require you to wait 24-48 hours or longer before starting Sub. If you still have your drug of choice in your body you will get sick from taking Sub.

Well I wait like 24hours from when I last used and take half of an 8mg suboxone. I'll be in mild withdrawl and then boom!...it gets much worst. I was thinking if I took more suboxone...like maybe a 8mg pill if I would start to feel better

Before I went on suboxone I tapered from opiates then they slowly increased the sub to 12mgs a day.  So yes, I would be really careful with this stuff, I think going from what you are on now to a larger dose could very well make you feel worse.  How much do you take?  How long?
