Need Advise On First Use Of Suboxone
UpdatedMy sister has been abusing vicodin for over 8 years. She takes 2 extra strengths every couple hours. Well, she just went to a doctor yesterday and was prescribed suboxone. She took 4mg at noon and felt like she was on heroin and had to leave work? what should we do? Please advise. thank you

What type of doctor did she go to? Suboxone for addiction treatment should only be prescribed by a doctor that has been specially trained in its use.
The first dose of Suboxone should not be taken until the person is in full withdrawal from the medication or drug they were abusing, the dosage is also carefullly calibrated to prevent withdrawals and it is normally given in a doctor's office, to watch the patient for any reactions.
Suboxone does contain the narcotic Buprenorphine, with Naloxone, which neutralizes other narcotics, so it could be that the 4mgs was too strong for her, or if she wasn't in full withdrawal when she took it, it may have thrown her into withdrawals.
Has she contacted her doctor?
