Sore Tongue And Mouth From Suboxone (Page 3) (Top voted first)

I need some advice. I started taking Suboxone films last November. I am on 20 mg. a day. Ever since I started these films I noticed that underneath my tongue became sore, like it swelled up and had little bumps underneath. Per my pharmacist, I tried putting it in between my cheek and gum on the bottom, but the same thing happened. It's getting to the point that if I eat anything hot or spicy, it stings like crazy. Even the suboxone stings a little. I don't want to get my whole mouth sore, so I am keeping it underneath the tongue. In the morning my tongue is swelled and it's difficult to talk right, especially saying "s". I told my doctor when it first started happening, but he didn't think much of it. Anyone else have this problem? What should I do?

U are right my Dr told me the same thing it is a rare but never the less definitely allergic! I'd probably tell her switch to methadone or as I did my Dr put me on Subutex.

I would probably use crackers to absorb some of ur saliva and a neat little trick I learned was take a lemon squeezer a few drops in ur mouth this stimulates the full production of salivary glands after that put in ur Suboxone or tec in cheek or under the tongue ?? because lots of spit causes u to swollow more than u realize. Hope this helps

Happens to me as well. The two tiny "loose things" sublingual ducts, swell up and get a white skin/film around them.

You should be able to get a prior authorization for tablets. I did, because it is an allergic reaction.

If you need to take them do it between the front bottom lip and gums, but fold it in half, as the edges seem to burn like a cut.

I have noticed that I had to switch to Crest kids toothpaste because adult toothpaste now burns my mouth so bad since taking Suboxone. Anything like a cough drop or a minty tic tac or something like that also burns.

Hello, yes my partner had exactly the same problem. His tongue started to get red and he had trouble also eating his much loved spiced foods.
He was treated for thrush wrongly before they worked out it was subutext. Eventually it started a white blister on his tongue and the rest was extremely inflamed red. So this definitely is an issue. Unfortunately he has no cure for it or stop it from happening.

I am currently dealing with this super uncomfortable under the tongue pain too! It’s red and swollen and there’s a bump in the middle. I have a hard time eating and it hurts to move my tongue. My dr recently (yesterday) switched me to submitted but the pill seemed to make that side more sore. Idk what to do!

Hello all,

I am a 56 year old man who has had surgery on my back for degenerated disc and arthritis and on my posterior shoulder for what’s called posterior instability. I have a painful bladder disease called interstitial cystitis. When my longtime pain dr retired in March of last year I was referred to a place that said it was for pain and even wrote it on the script but gave me suboxone. It was a really bad experience and caused my gums and teeth to hurt so I made a mistake and went cold turkey because I had never known about this sub. Holy mother it was bad but it gets much worse. My teeth and my tongue hurt so bad I was delirious from no sleep or food, I considered suicide because every single place I went to treated me as a drug seeker etc and I’m sure my behavior got worse with each painful visit which brings me to the point of burning mouth syndrome! I believe mine was caused by suboxone then the stress of having no medicine when I quit just put the icing on the cake. I live in a small area and the dentists I saw had no idea what it was and I got so bad I let one fool talk me into getting dentures as he told me it would get me out of pain so anything I thought before I go nuts right? Nope. Now I’ve got dentures on top of what was finally diagnosed st the Cleveland clinic as burning mouth syndrome and was given Gabapentin for it. They were very nice and diagnosed me within 20 mns. That’s because the dr believed me and actually had burning mouth too. Now I’m reading sub causes a sore tongue and all so I need to see if anyone else is having this problem because I’ve even read people say it started when they quit! Any info on this condition in relation to that nasty burning chemical would be greatly appreciated. I will be glad to answer anything about this also. Thank you.

Re: Nikki (# 7)

U probably will develop hypertension "high blood pressure" I'd probably have ur Dr keep close eyes on the BP so if headaches a cure and u decided to stay on Suboxone get BP pills from ur Dr ASAP! I'm 50yrs old it almost killed me hope this doesn't happen to u but another drug is methadone u might wanna consider it but be careful it's dangerous if misused.
Good luck hope I helped dear!!

This sounds like yeast in the mouth. In babies it's called thrush. U need a one time dose pill called diflucan. Bup usually affects the end of the tongue and jaw an under the tongue. It's possible the med started the problem or aggravated the yeast making it more raw. Rinse ur mouth with Pepto bismol an spit (don't swallow). Just gargle it an see ur Dr for the yeast diagnosis and treatment. hope I helped you dear good luck!

It is difficult to say why it may be happening, you might just be sensitive to one of the ingredients in it.

However, swelling like that could be dangerous, so you need to talk to your doctor about it, again, immediately! If he doesn't pay attention, then see a different doctor.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Jvfj, I've been on them for 6 months. I had it described that coming off pills is like jumping off a huge mountain and coming off suboxone is like jumping off a mound of dirt. I have also heard that people go down by 1/4 of the dose every 4 days. I've titrated down a bit with no issues. It's gonna be minimal issues for you. Good luck.
