I have been on suboxone for 2 years @ 24mgs a day, I was at 32mgs a day. Anyways, I recently (3 mos. ago) was diagnosed with hashimotos hypothyroidism. I was prescribed Armour thyroid medication and 30 minutes after taking it, I couldn’t stare straight @ a computer screen without my eyes feeling like they are crossing. I told my doctor and he prescribed me methimazole, which counteracts the thyroid function and puts my back into hypothyroidism (thinking this would work). It did not help and I had to go to the emergency room because I was so scared. They told me it was anxiety. Im like, yaaaaa f-in right dude, im a chilled person. Although, the suboxone does make me have anxiety (or maybe its the thyroid). I went to an endocrinologist and she cannot help me, can you believe that? I am going to an opthamologist in 3 days but I doubt they will find anything. Along with the eyesight, I have a "fullness" in my head. You know, after we got high on opiates, and you wake up and your eyes are low, and if you look up, your eyes hurt so bad? That feeling. I recently lowered my dose from 24 mgs to .5 mgs. Yes, a loss of 23.5 mgs within a few weeks. The first day after that, my eyes felt good, no fullness in my head, no headaches. The next day, I considered going to the emergency room because I was weak and my eyes were so bad. I was NOT going through withdrawls. PLEASE HELP ME! Does anyone know what this could be? Im at a loss.
Also, my sub doctor is a hormone specialist, and he knows alot about the thyroid. Why would he prescribe my Armour and Suboxone? Hes nuts. And he got in trouble with the board 3 times for things such as not keeping medical records and pain contracts and having relations with a subordinate. Should I see this doctor again to see what he thinks? Hes such a good doctor and when I see him, he speaks to me like Im his friend, which I like, despite the legal troubles. [/font]
