Hard Time Staying Asleep On Zubsolv

Updated

Started zubsolv 3 weeks ago after taking subs for 6 years. I would only take a quarter to half of 8mg sub every 24 hours and would sleep like a baby all night. On these zubsolv's I'm lucky to sleep 2 hours then wake up for an hour then back to bed for another 2 hours. Very frustrating! My dr. Has me on 3 5.7 mg a day and it seems to me that only 2-4 mg of suboxone a day was working better for me. Anybody have any similar thoughts on this?

I have moderate severe back/ hip pain and legs too. A couple fusions , a pump.Been thru several pain drs.once I got a pump and then had it out. So , having a time getting a pain
Dr. Have appt.for just consult with one in 2 wks. I was going to try a suboxone Dr. But decided against when I heard I had to come off klonopin . Taken this 21 yrs, but 1 a day now. My last med was .morphine 120 mg plus oxy 15 mg.Does suboxone help pain? It is a narcotic but I know it blocks opiates. Would I benefit because I have had withdrawal for a couple months.

Hello, Joe! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you're having.

They both contain the same active ingredients, so it seems odd that this would happen, but medications can affect everyone differently. Some opiates do affect people like that, they tend to wake them up, rather than act as a downer, so the higher dose might be what's causing it. It would be normal to have had less side effects, when you were taking less.

SH, it does help some people with pain, but not everyone, it varies from person to person. It contains the opiate Buprenorphine with the opiate blocker Naloxone.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
