Suboxone | The Side Effects

As with almost all medications, Suboxone could possibly have side effects. However, this should not be a reason to not use Suboxone if you are trying to withdraw from an opioid addiction. If you are under the care of a physician, you'll likely not have any considerable, life-threatening side effects. When your withdrawal is being medically-managed, you'll be closely monitored and the medication will be adjusted if necessary.

Here are some common side effects. If they become persistent, you should notify your physician. Chills; constipation; diarrhea; dizziness; drowsiness; flushing; headache; nausea; sleeplessness; stomach pain; sweating; vomiting; weakness.

Seek medical attention right away if any of these severe side effects occur when using Suboxone: Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); anxiety or nervousness; dark urine; mental or mood changes (eg, depression); pale stools; severe or persistent stomach pain; slow or shallow breathing; yellowing of eyes or skin.

It is important to note, however, than many people have no side effects at all.
