I asked my doctor today about my legs kicking at night, never happened before to me, and also, I’ve been having hypnic jerks, right on the verge of falling asleep, I jerk awake. He assured me that these are NOT side effects of suboxone, and so he upped my dosage from 24mg to 32mg a day because I told him I was still having ‘some’ cravings.

He said my runny nose and feeling ill and diarrhea are all part of withdrawels and to expect it to go on another month. I’ve been on Suboxone for only one month so far.

He also told me that since it has taken ALL of my back pain away, I could stay on the medicine for the rest of my life, if I want to. (I’m only 43). He told me about how safe this medicine is, a wonderful medicine.

Just passing on what he told me today.

I have those symptoms on suboxone. It IS a side effect.
