Hypnic jerks, while awake?

Hello you guys,

I saw my sub doctor today and he told me the jerks and twitches and runny nose are all part of still going through withdrawel. I’ve only been on suboxone for a month or so now. AND when I told him I was still having mild cravings, he upped my dosage to the max— 32mg a day!! Assured me about how safe this medicine is, and that since it has taken away all of my back pain, there is no reason I could not stay on it for the rest of my life. (I’m only 43).

So the diarrhea I had last night, the upset queasy stomach and the restless legs and all are all symptoms of withdrawel, of which I can expect another month of.

Also, I have fractured my foot and it’s been hurting for 3 months. I asked him why–how can it take away all of this chronic back pain, but not the lesser pain of my foot?—- and he said Suboxone works on a different neuro-pathway in the body.

Hope this helps some of you. Wink
