I had the exact same problem, I started on 16mg of subs(but I had a habit that required more than 80-120mg of oxy) and had a splitting headache exeryday. In my opnion, you might want to lower your dose. 16mg is A LOT. Doc lowered the dose after a while which helped a little but I still had headaches everyday. I began spitting out the sub after it absorbed which also helped a little but basically everyday I would have a lingering headache with the occasional migraine (pretty frequent). Even as I was down to 4-6mg. I was on Topamax for migraines which didnt really help, but my doctor would NOT switch me to generic bupe. I switched doctors, he put me on plain buprenorphine and like magic, headaches were GONE. Haven’t had one in months, besides a normal headache. I have been getting migraines since I was a child, but the everyday ones are gone. I’d recommend getting to a lower dose, and spitting out remaining saliva like someone suggested already. I don’t know if your doctor would be willing to switch you but that was the best solution for me. Unfortunately it took me almost 6 months of painful headaches and a new doctor to fix it.
