Hi and welcome! It sounds like you’re dose could be too high. I also take sub for pain and take 8mg in the am and then 4mg around lunch and if I am having a bad pain day will take another 4mg late afternoon. If it were me I would try dosing less and see if it helps with your symptoms.

When using sub for pain Dr. Junig suggests split dosing. Sub only provides pain relief for around 6 hours so taking one big dose would not help and with the long half life likely wouldn’t help your side effects either.

I hope you find the right dose for you, it is very individual and can take a few tries before you find your magic number.
